A device for locating sunken wrecks has been Invented by a IlalU'nore man, say the Ledger.

When the veawcl sinks the buoy float on the surface of the water, one end f the rope remaining tautened to the vessel. The buoy contain a bell, which w III be rung by the motion of the waves, and also a box in which may be de posited the story of the disaster which led to the linking of the Vessel. The Ilrltlnh ship Albyn arrived yes terday, seventy-seven days from New cnatle. having hud a very eventful voy- uge.

He was ramming down a good charge of powder w hen It sudden ly exploded. The weapon left the cap tain's hand and the barrel punned through the Iron side of the ship. A couple of sailors w ho Mood near Cap tain Williams at the time were badly burned. Chronicle. Captain Morgan, of the Iliitloh ship Atulrosa, says the Call, has a curious story to tell about the manner of load ing a ship with nitrate at Calcta Hu enu. "One man did the Job," said he yesterday. "Kach sack of nltrute av eraged 2".u imiuii.Ii. and that fellow une I to put Into our hold about 300 tons a duy. lie wu a customs olllclal, and Imd to handle everything that went Into the vts.u'l. Km li sack as It came from the wugon was placed on hla nhouMcra, and he would then run ul.mn the plunk am) drop It on the ile.'k. After that the crew hail to handle It. That man curried aboard try shin over :!0Ut) tons of frelgiit In ten ililys, and then Hecini'd nnxloiiH for mure work. f couine the distance he hud to carry the nltrute wis not great, but then Mkuiu out the number of til pa he made, and Imagine how you would like the Job. Just Imagine a I'nlted States cus toms otllcer carrying 3000 tiuig of w heat aboard my ship in order to keep tally of wlmt went Into the hold." In a communication to the London Times, of September 23. W. Leatham Hrlght, a prominent Hrltlsh ship-owner. has the following: Steamships under the Norwegian Hag have Increased from 3!io with LM6,6C gross tons In 1S0-1, to WIS with 4ti,3S4 gross tons In 1SH5-6. It Is a well known fact that, owing to the dmihtlceia well-meaning but altogether unnecessary restrictions of the board of trade, a British steamer Is not al lowed to carry as much ns a foreign steamer by 200 to 300 tons. At the same time. Lloyds Insure a foreign steamer and class her without putting on any restrictive load line. There are to day, I should say, 150 to 200 steamers under the Norwegian ling built by Hrlt lsh. capital, manned by Norwegian sail ors, exempt from paying Income tax, If you want a sure relief for limbs, use an Allcock's Plaster Bkar in Mind Not one of the host of counterfeits and Imitay tlon i as good as the genuine.

In administrative management It has ruthlmsly sacrific ed Indispenslble revenue, entailed an unceasing deficit, eked out ordinary current expenses with borrowed money, piled Up the public debt by J2I52.0O0.0O0 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 It policy It ha precipitated panic, blighted In dustry and trade with prolonged de pression, closed factor!", 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 uneqiialed success and prosperity. A Protective Tarifl. We renew and emphasize our allegi ance to the policy of protection as th bulwark of American Industrial Inde pendence and the foundation of Amer ican development and prosperity. This true American policy taxes foreign pro ducts and encourages home Industry; It puts the burden of revenue on for elgn goods. It secures the American market for the American producer; It upholds the American standard of wages for the American worklngman; It puts the factory by the side of the farm, and makes the American farmer less dependent on foreign demand and price; II 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 depredation 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. Th Republican party favors such protec tion as will lead to the production on American soil 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 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, as well as to the finished woolens of the mill we promise tha most ample protection. Merchant Marine. We favor restoring the early Ameri OP THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. can policy of discriminating duties for the uu-bulidlng 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 yards, sailing under th Stars and Stripes, and manned, officered and owned by Americans may regain th carrying of our foreign commerce. The Financial Issue. "The Republican party Is 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 measure 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. AH our sliver 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 the Union armies de serve and should receive fair treatment and generous recognition. Whenever practicable they 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 the fulfillment of the pledges made to them In the dark days of the country's perlL W denounce the 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 Umj Una, 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 States and no for eign power should be permltetd to In terfere with them. The Nicaragua, Canal should bo 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 Amer ican citixens 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 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 hemtspheie, 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 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 lives of resi dent American citizens or to comply with its treaty obltgationes, we believe that the government of the United States should actively use Its Influenoe 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 the protection of th equality of our American citizenship and of th wages of our worklngmen against the fatal competition of low-priced labor. we demand that the Immigration tow be thoroughly enforced, and so extend ed a to exclude from entrance to tha United States thoa who can neither read nor write. Civil Service. The Civil Service law was placed on the statute book by the Republican party, which ha always sustained It, and we renew our repeated declara tion that It shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced and extended wher ever practicable. Free Ballot. We demand that every citizen of th United State 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 law. National Arbitration. . . We favor the creation of a national board of arbitration to settle and ad Just differences which may aria 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 th 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 th Interests of the people of the territo ries and of the United States. An th federal officers appointed for the terri tories shall be selected from bona fid residents thereof, and the right of self government shall be acorded aa f ar aa practicable. Alaska Representation. We believe the citizens 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 sympathize with all wise and le gitimate efforts to lessen and prevent the evils of Intemperance and promote morality. Eights 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. 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 are th 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 th 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.
