The nw steamer launrhed lately al Ht-lfast for the llanburg-Amerlran line brings us back very nearly, If not uulte. to the Great Kaatern, says the Ht. Jamra Hudget. The Penneylvanla la a twin screw steamer of 30.0"0 tons displacement and IO.0O0 tons carrying capacity. 11 feet long, 42 feet boam and 42 feet deep. The vessel Is the larg cut ever built by llurland At Wolff, or any other Arm In the world. The mahcl- nery for the steamer Is also being cn olructcd by llsrlund A Wolff, and Is ITOlKlly deslKnel to avoid all vlbra- lon by the adoption of four cylinder and a spet al arrangement of the crunks n the merit of which the builder have such conlldenco that they are at present itgng'-d In the construction of several sets of machinery on the same prin ciple. The ship will be lighted through out with electricity. The owners were represented on the occasion by Mr. Van Per BmlsKln and Captain Kopff. Her weight t present Is eight thousand ma, but her displacement will lie little short of 30.000 tons. The engines will be quadruple expansion (Schllck's pat- nt), with six thousand Indicated horse power, giving an average speed or 14 knots an hour. Trading between Hamburg and New York, ehe will ac commodate 100 first-class passenger, lf0 second-class, and 1000 steerage. These three classes will have all mod ern comforts provided for them, while her great dimensions have enabled her builders to Increase the slxe of her din ing rooms, parlors and state rooms, as well as the quarters for the ship's lillccrs and men. The ship from stem to stern Is replete with every contriv ance which will make her easy to han- lie, comfortable for passengers and crew, and secure for gmnis. 8hc Is to be lilted with seventeen steam u Inches on deck, four steam cranes, while loading and unloading will be curried on through nine hatchways. The normul pressure on the boilers will be 10 poun lH to the square Inch, and re verting to her engines. It Is worthy of notice that the propeller shafting Is ;!0 feet In length, the longest konwn.

The Itopulillcan party I not opposed U tlie us of sliver money, and haa lone all it could for It cmltent with ifety. Ulmclulllsin cannot be secured by In dependent action on our part, nor by opening our mint to free silvery until International agreement I had It Is the luly of the United State to maintain the gold standard. The owner of the diver bullion would get the silver dollar; the people would get It only hy their labor. Tha mere declaration that the Unmo ral propose to Inaugurate th free and unllmed coinage of silver I a menace to our financial and Industrial Institution. What would keep the new silver dol lars at par with gold 7 There would be no obligation on the government to do It; th simple truth Is, w would bedrtv- n to a sliver basis to silver mono metallism. We now have more sliver than (old. Klghty-four per cent of our foreign trade Is with gold standard countries. We have more silver in use than any country In ths world except Chin or India. Free silver would contract our cur rency and drive (00,000,000 gold dollars out of circulation. The money of A country should never be the subject of partisan contention. In addition to free silver we are asked lo enter on an era of Irredeemable paper currency. We are not a nation of clauses, and appeals to prejudice should be rebuked. I admit thai the adoption of free "sliver would cause a panic, but the "country require a drastic, dose of medicine. Desperate diseases some times require heroic remedies." Mas ter William Jennings liryan. "I hold th disturbance ot the meaa "ur of value, the means of payment "and exchange or any derangement of "the currency to be one of the moat "unpardonable of political faults. He "who tamper with the currency rob "labor of its bread. He panders.

All these things may "gratify greediness fur sudden gain, by "the rashness ot daring speculation "but they can bring nothing but In "Jury and distress to the homes of pa "tient Industry and honest labor.

Il 91 Job Printing The Astorian invites attention to its Job Printing Department TRY USJ&3 Declaration of Principles Th Republicans of th United States, ass m bled hy their representatives In National Convention, appealing for the popular and historical Justification of their claims to the matchless achieve ment of thirty year of Republican rule, earnestly and confidently address themselves to th awakened Intelli gence, experience and conscience of their countrymen In th following dec laration of facts and principle: For tha tint tlm since the Civil War th American people have wit nessed the calamitous consequences of full and unrestrained Democratic con trol of tha Government It has been a record of unparalled Incapacity, dis honor and disaster. In administrative management It has ruthUssly sacrific ed Indlspenslble revenue, entailed an unceasing deficit, eked out ordinary current expenses with borrowed money. piled up the public debt by l:2.0OO,OOO 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 demand that the government shall be rescued from the band 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 Protect' f Tarifl. We renew and emphasize our allegi ance to th policy of protection as tha bulwark of American Industrial Inde pendence and the foundation of Amer ican development and prosperity. This true Americas policy taxes foreign pro ducts and encourages home Industry; it puts the burden of revenue on for eign goods. It secures the American market tor the American producer; It upholds tha American standard ot wages for the American worklngman; It puts the factory by the side ot the farm, and makes the American farmer 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 degradation 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 tha condi tions of the time and production; the ruling and uncompromising; principle is the protection and development ot 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 ot 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 ot life which we don't produce, reciprocal agreements of mo 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 tor our surplus. Protection to Sugar Producers. Wa condemn the present administra tion for not keeping faith with tha sugar producers of this country. The Republican party favors such protec tion as will lead to the production on American soil of all the sugar tha American people use, and for which they pay other countries more than 1100,000,000 annually. Wool and Woolens, To all 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, aa well as to the finished woolens of the mill wa promise the most ample protection. Merchant Marine. We favor restoring the early Ameri- 1 OP THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. can policy of discriminating duties for th up-bulldlng of our merchant marine and the protection of our shipping In the foreign carrying trade, so that American ships th product of Amer ican lsbor, employed In American ship yards, sailing under tha Stars and Stripes, and manned, officered and owned by Americans may regain th carrying of our foreign commerce. The Financial Issue. "The Republican party I unreserv edly for sound money. It caused th enactment of th law providing for the resumption of specie payments In 1879; since then every dollar has been good as gold. W are unalterably op posed to every measure calculated to de base our currency or Impair the credit of our country. Wa are, therefore, op- poaed 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 wa believe tha existing gold standard must be preserved. All our silver and paper currency now In circulation must be maintained at 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 ot the earth." Pensions for Veterans. The veterans of tha Union armies da serve and should receive fair treatment and generous recognition. Whenever practicable they should be given tha preference In the matter of employ ment and they are entitled to tha en actment ot such laws as best calculat ed to secure the fulfillment of the pledges made to them In the dark days of the country's peril. Wa denounce tha practice of tha pension bureau so recklessly and unjustly carried on by tha present administration, of reducing pensions and arbitrarily dropping names from the rolls, as deserving tha severest condemnation of the American people. Foreign Rjlations, Our foreign policy should be at all times firm, vigorous 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 Slates and no for eign power should be permitetd 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-need ed 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 an end. In Turkey, American resi dents have been exposed to the gravest dangers and American property de stroyed. There and everywhere American- citlxens and American property must be absolutely protected at ail hazards and. at any cost Monroe Doctrine. We reassert the Monroe doctrine in Its full extent and reaffirm the right of the Unuited 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 hemlspheie, 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 and abld 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 lives of resi dent American citizens or to comply with its treaty obllgationes, 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 ot the navy and a complete system of harbor and coast defenses. Immigration Laws. , For the protection of the equality of our American citizenship and of the wages of our worklngmen against the fatal competition of low-priced labor, we demand that the Immigration laws be thoroughly enforced, and so extend ed a to exclude from entrance to the United States those who can neither read nor write. , Civil Service. The Civil Service law was placed on the statute book by the Republican, party, which has always sustained it, and wa 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 ot 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 uncivilised and barbarous practices, well known aa lynching or killing of human beings, suspected or charged with crime, without process of law. 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 passage by congress of the 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 ot the people ot the territo ries and of the United States. AU the federal officers appointed for the terri tories shall be selected from bona fide residents thereof, and the right ot self government shall be acorded as f ar aa practicable. Alaska Representation. We believe the citizens of Alaska should have representation In tha 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 Include equal opportunities, equal pay for equal work and protection to the home. We 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 are 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 ot our great party and In the Justice ot our cause, we present bur 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.
