Mr. Cope lund asked me If I would not make a lertRln Inprovement In the way of an addition to the rear of the .tore room, hut I told him I did not feel like mak ing any Improvement at the present; hut that If he would bring me an esti mate of the coat I would talk with him about the matter. He called later In the day and stated that he had had a couple of rarpentera make A rough esti mate of the coat of what he wanted, and gave me the figure. I then told Mr. Copeland that If McKlnley waa elected I would probably make the im provement he desired; but that owing to the uncertainty of business matter now, and the probability of hard time. If Ilryan should be elected, I did not care to M-nd any money Just now, a I might need all I had In case of Ilryan'. victory. Thla was all that waa auid about the matter.

Any one who knows anything about the facta knowa that the Flavel family have had Republicans constantly In the employ of their family for years. No one but Mr. Copeland was present at any conversation held with Mr. Fla vel In regard to the work referred to. Captain Flavel atated that he would make the desired Improvements If Mc Klnley was elected, aa he knew that then money matters would be Juat the same as they are alf present; but that If Ilryan was elected It was uncertain what would be the condition of money matters.

OABTOniA, Til he ll ail. lfuiut, Declaration of Principles The Republicans of the United States, assembled hy their representatives In National Convention, appealing for the popular and historical Justification of their claims to the matchless achieve ments of thirty year of Republican rule, earnestly and confidently address themselves to the awakened Intelli gence, experience and conscience of their countrymen In the following dec laration of facts and principle: For ths first time since the Civil War the American people have wit nessed the calamitous consequences of full nd unrestrained Democratic con trol of the Government It has been a record of unparalled Incapacity, dis honor and disaster. In administrative management It has ruthk.sly sacrific ed Indiapenalble revenue, entailed an unceasing deficit, eked out ordinary current expenses with borrowed money, piled up the public debt by 1262,000,000 In time of peace, forced an adverse bal ance of trade, to a perpetual menace hanging over the redemption fund. pawned American credit to alien syn dicates and reversed all the measures and results of successful Republican rule. In the broad effect of Its policy It has precipitated panic, blighted In dustry and trade with prolonged de pression, closed factories, reduced work and wages, halted enterprise and crip pled American production while stimu lating foreign production for the Amer ican market Every consideration of public safety and Individual Interest demands that the government shall be rescued from the hands of those who have shown themselves Incapable of conducting It without disaster at home and dishonor abroad, and shall he re stored to the party which for thirty years administered It with unequaled success and prosperity. A Protectkf Tariff. We renew and emphasise our allegi ance to the policy of protection aa th bulwark of American Industrial Inde- peodenc and the foundation of Amer ican development and prosperity. This true American policy taxes foreign pro ducts and engpurages borne Industry; it puts the burden of revenue on for eign goods, it secures the American market for the American producer; It upholds the American standard of wages for the American workingroan; It puts the factory by the side of the farm, and makes the American fanner less dependent on foreign demand and price; It diffuses general thrift and founds the strength of all on the strength of each. In its reasonable ap plication It is Just, fair, and Impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and domestic monopoly, to sectional dis crimination and Individual favoritism. We denounce the present Democratic tariff as sectional, Injurious to the pub lic credit and destructive to business enterprise. We demand such equitable tariff on foreign Imports which come Into competition with American pro ducts as will not only furnish adequate revenue for the necessary expenses of the government, but will protect Amer ican labor from degredatlon to the wage level of other lands. We are not pledged to any particular schedules. The question of rates Is a practical question, to be governed by the condi tions of the time and production; the ruling and uncompromising principle is the protection and development of American labor and Industry. The country demands a right settlement and then It wants rest Reciprocity With Other Nations. We believe the repeal of the reci procity arrangements negotiated by the last Republican administration was a national calamity, and we demand their renewal and extension on such terms as will equalise our trade with other nations, remove the restrictions which now obstruct the sale of Amer ican products In the ports of other countries and secure the enlarged mar kets of our farms, forests and factories. Protection and reciprocity are twin measures of Republican policy, and go hand In hand. Democratic rule has recklessly struck down both, and both must be re-established. Protection for what we produce, free admission for the necessaries of life which we don't produce, reciprocal agreements of mu tual interest which gain open markets for us in return for our open market to others. Protection builds up domestic industry and trade and secures our own market for ourselves. Reciprocity builds up foreign trade and finds an outlet for our surplus. Protection to Sugar Producers. We condemn the present administra tion for not keeping faith with the sugar producers of this country. The Republican party favors such protec tion as will lead to the production on American soli of all the sugar the American people use, and for which they pay other countries more than (100,000,000 annually. Wool and Woolens. To till our products to those of the mine and the field, as well as to those of the shop and the factory to hemp to wool, the product of the great Indus try of sheep husbandry, as well as to the finished woolens of the mill we promise the most ample protection. Merchant Marine. We favor restoring the early Amerl- OP THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. can policy of discriminating duties for th op-bulldlng of our merchant marine and the' protection of our shipping In the foreign carrying trade, so that American ships the product of Amer ican labor, employed In American ship yard, calling under the Stars and Stripes, and manned, officered and owned by Americans may regain the carrying of our foreign commerce. The Financial Issue. "The Republican party I unreserv edly for sound money. It caused the enactment of the law providing for the resumption of specie payments In 1879; since then every dollar has been as good as gold. We are unalterably op posed to every meaaura calculated to de base our currency or Impair the credit of our country. We are, therefore, op posed to the free coinage of silver, ex cept by International agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to .promote, and until such agreement can be obtained we believe the existing gold standard must be preserved. All our silver and paper currency now In circulation must be maintained at a parity with gold, and we favor all measures designed to maintain Inviola ble the obligations of the United States, and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the present standard, the standard of the most enlightened na tions of the earth." Pensions for Veterans. The veterans of theUnIon armies de serve and should receive fair treatment and generous recognition. Whenever practicable tbey should be given the preference In the matter of employ ment, and they are entitled to the en actment of such laws as best calculat ed to secure ths fulfillment of the pledges made to them In the dark days ?f the country's peril. W denounce be practice of the pension bureau so recklessly and unjustly carried on by the present administration, of reducing pensions and arbitrarily dropping names from the rolls, as deserving the severest condemnation of the American people. Foreign Relations. Our foreign policy should be at all times firm, rigorous and dignified, and all our interests in the western hemis phere carefully watched and guarded. The Hawaiian Islands should be con trolled by the United States and no for eign power should be permltetd to In terfere with them. The Nicaragua Canal should be built, owned and op erated by the United States, and by the purchase of the Danish Islands we should secure a proper and much-needed naval station In the West Indies. Armenian Massacres. The massacres In Armenia have aroused the deep sympathy and Just Indignation of the American people, and we believe that the United States should exercise all the Influence It can properly exert to bring these atrocities to on end. In Turkey. American resi dents have been exposed to the gravest dangers and American property de stroyed. There and everywhere Amer ican clttxens and American property must be absolutely protected at all haxards and at any cost Monroe Doctrine. We reassert the Monroe doctrine In Its full extent and reaffirm the right of the Unulted States to give the doctrine effect by responding to the appeals of any American state for friendly Inter vention In case of European encroach ment We have not interfered, and shall not interfere, with the existing possessions of any European power In this hemlsphete, but those possessions must not on any pretext, be extended. We hopefully look forward to the eventual withdrawal of the European powers from this hemisphere, and the ultimate union of all the English speaking part of the continent by the free consent of Its Inhabitants. Independence of Cuba. From the hour of achieving their own Independence the people of the United States have regarded with sympathy the struggles of other American peoples to free themselves from European dom ination. We watch with deep und abid ing Interest the heroic battle of the Cu ban patriots against cruelty and op pression, and our best hopes go out for the full success of their determined con test for liberty. The government of Spain, having lost control of Cuba and being unable to protect the property or Uvea of resi dent American citixens or to comply with Its treaty obllgatlonea, we believe that the government of the United States should actively use Its Influence and good offices to restore peace and give Independence to the Island. Enlargement of the Navy. The peace and security of the repub lic and the maintenance of Its rightful Influence among the nations of the earth, demand a naval power commen surate with its position and responsi bility. We therefore favor the contin ued enlargement of the navy and complete system of harbor and coast defenses. Immigration Laws. For th protection of the equality of our American cltlxenshlp and of the wages of our worklngmen against tb fatal competition of low-priced labor, we demand that the Immigration laws be thoroughly enforced, and so extend ed as to exclude from entrance to th United Bute, those who can neither read nor writ. Civil Service. The Civil Service law was placed oa the statute book by tb Republican party, which has always sustained It, and we renew our repeated declara tions that It shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced and extended wher ever practicable. Free Ballot. We demand that every citizen of the United States shall be allowed to cast one free and unrestricted ballot, and that such ballot shall be counted and returned as cast Lynching Condemned We proclaim our unqualified condem nation of the uncivilized and barbarous practices, well known as lynching or killing of human beings, suspected or charged with crime, without process of taw. National Arbitration. We favor the creation of a national board of arbitration to settle and ad- Just differences which may arise be tween employer and employed engaged In Interstate commerce. Free Homesteads. We believe In an Immediate return to the free homestead policy of the Republican party and urge the passaga, by congress of th satisfactory free homestead measure which has already passed the house and Is now pending In the senate. Admission of Territories. We favor the admission of the re maining territories at the earliest prac ticable date, having due regard to the Interests of the people of the territo ries and of the United State. All th federal officers appointed for the terri tories shall be selected from bona fid residents thereof, and the light of self government shall be ocorded as for as practicable. Alaska Representation. We believe the citixens of Alaska should have representation in the con gress of the United States,to the end that needful legislation may be intelli gently enacted. Sumptuary Legislation. We sympathise with all wise and le gitimate efforts to lessen and prevent the evils of Intemperance and promote morality. Rights of Women. The Republican party Is mindful of the rights and Interests of women. Pro tection of American industries Includes equal opportunities, equal pay for equal work and protection to the home. W favor the admission of women to wider spheres of usefulness, and welcome their co-operation in rescuing the coun try from Democratic and Populist mis management and misrule. Such ore the principles and policies of the Republi can party. By these principles we will abide and these principles we will put Into execution. We ask for them the considerate Judgment of the American people. Confident alike In the history of our great party and in the Justice of our cause, we present our platform and our considerations. In the full assurance that the election will bring victory to the Republican party and prosperity to the people of the United States.
