J. W. Harrison, coal an.1 metal bro
ker, aaya: Since the Alameda trft here
there have been the following arrivals
from Australia: Cavallere Clamp!. UC3

Caledonia, 772 tons; Salvatare Clampl,
ions. Invermark. !3.'7 tons; Mary

Illalrhoyle, ::il tons; Kelburn. 392; Al-
lyn, 3173 tons; McNear, 1791 tons; total,
S3.6:'S tona. Aa the total amount re
wived during the past four month
from the colonies only foots up S3,2it
tons, It will be clearly seen that the
above arrivals for one month have been
large. Ilealdes we have fully 20,000 torn
more due thl month from Sydney and
Newcastle. The total amount of en
gaged coal tonnage for here from the
colonies, afloat and lo load, will fool
up about 120,000 Inns capacity. A large
portion of this cannot arrive In lKDt.
Low prices still prevail, the lowest on
record, leaving a very small pittance
to the coal hewers, a very nominal
amount for freight, and certainly no
profit to the Importers: hence the
"Mauk diamond" haa been a moat unde
sirable article to handle In 18M for all
except consumers.
Our coast miners are Immediate suf
ferer fr-im this local depression, and
they prudently are not forcing their
output on the mnrkot: they are aware
that these low quotations cannot con
tinue, and they are awaiting an Im
provement of values, when they will
ognln become liberal shippers. Cardiff

Twenty-one purse aelnea, 18 being
from Scuttle, were stretched In the wa
ter off Point Defiance Frldny, fishing
for salmon. It Is estimated they caught
4.000 salmon that day.
The net fairly covered that portion
of tho Bound, nnd took up bo much
room that tho steamers bound for
Olympla from Tncoma, were compelled
to go close to Vashon Island, over a
mile away, to keep from running Into
them. The largest seine is 1,500 foot
long,' and 100 feet deep.
The greater number of the seines were
owned by canneries from down Sound.
Kleven belonged to tho Meyers cannery,
Seattle, four others were from Seattle,
three were owned by the Seattle Fish
Company, one belonged' to the North
Pacic Fish Company of Tacoma. and
two were lmleiendent seines. A large
fleet of tugs and steamers were in at
tendance on the seines to take away
the fish they caught.
The salmon are running fairly well
on the upper Sound, and In this vicin
ity. The heavy run should appear very
soon, if It conies this year. Occasion

great number appear at one time. The

The Republicans of tha United Stales,
assembled by their representatives In
National Convention, appealing for the
popular and historical Justification of
their claims to the matchless achieve
ments of thirty years 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 principles:
For ths first time since the Civil
War the American people have wit
nessed .the calamitous consequences of
full and unrestrained Democratic con
trol of the Government It has been
a record of unparalled incapacity, dis
honor and disaster. In administrative
management It has ruthlessly sacrific
ed Indlspenslble revenue, entailed an
unceasing deficit, eked out ordinary
current expenses with borrowed money,
piled up the public debt by $252,000,000
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 wagea, baited enterprise and crip
pled American production while stimu
lating foreign production for the Amer
ican market Every consideration of
publlo safety and individual Interest
demands that the government shall be
rescued from the hands of those who
have ahown 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 Protective Taril
We renew and emphasize our allegi
ance to the policy of protection as the
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
eign 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 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 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 wavdon't
produce, reciprocal agreements 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 Becures ' 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 soil of all the sugar the
American pepple 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, as well aa to
the finished woolens of the mill we
promise the most ample protection.
Merchant Marine.
We favor restoring the early Ameri
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
can polity of discriminating duties for
the up-building of our merchant marine
and the protection of our shipping In
the foreign carrying trade, so that
American ship the product of Amer
ican labor, employed In American ship
yards, sailing 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 Is unreserv
edly for sound money. It caused the
enactment of the law providing for the
resumption of specie payments In U7;
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. 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 the Union armies de
serve and should receive fair treatment
and generous recognition. Whenever
practicable they should be given the
preference in the matter ot employ
ment, and they are entitled to the en
actment of such laws as best calculat
ed to secure the fulfillment ot the
pledges made to them In the dark days
of the country's peril. We denounce
the practice of the pension bureau so
recklessly and unjustly carried on by
the present administration, ot 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, 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 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 Amer
ican cltlxens and American property
must be absolutely protected at all
hazards and at any cost
Monroe Doctrine.
We reassert the Monroe doctrine In
Its full extent and reaffirm the right ot
the Unuited States to give the doctrine
effect by responding to the appeals ot
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 ot any European power in
this hemisphere, 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 cltlxens or to comply
with Its treaty obllgatlones, 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 ot 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 a
complete system of harbor and sea
coast defenses. '
Immigration Laws.
For the protection of the equality of
our American cltlsenshlp and ot tho
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 as to exclude from entrance to the
United States those who caa neither
read nor write.
Civil Service.
The Civil Service law was placed ore
the statute book by the Republican
party, which has always sustained It,
and we renew our repeated declara
tions that It shall be thoroughly and
honestly enforced and extended whetw
ever practicable.
Free Ballot.
We demand that every dtlsen 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
Lyncbin
or I nndamnsd
fy VVHUI.UIUIU.
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 ot
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
Free Homesteads.
We believe In an Immediate return
to the free homestead policy ot the)
Republican party and urge the passage
by congress of the satisfactory fro
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 tha
Interest of the people ot the territo
ries and of the United States. All tha
federal officers appointed for the terri
tories shall be selected from bona fide
residents thereof, and the right of self

Alaska Representation.
We believe the citizens of Alaska
should have representation In the con-
ess 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.
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. 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 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.
