'When the Intelligence and character

to his followers: You csn loot, you

Declaration of Principles
The Republicans of the United Bute,
assembled by their representatives In
National Convention, appealing for th
popular and historical Justification of
their claims to th matchless achieve
ments of thirty years of Republican
rule, earnestly and confidently 'address
themselves to th 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 hava wit
nessed the calamitous consequences of
full and unrestrained Democratic con
trol of the Government It haa 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 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
snd dishonor abroad, and shall he re
stored to the party which for thirty
years administered It with unequaled
success and prosperity.
A Protect vc Tariff.
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 of 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 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 wadon't
produce, reciprocal agTeementsAr mu
tual Interest which gain open Sharkets
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 soil of all the sugar the
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 ot 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 Ameri
OR- TUB
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
can policy of discriminating duties for
the up-building of our merchant marine
and tha protection of our shipping in
ths foreign carrying trade, so that
American ships 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 1878;
since then every dollar has been aa
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 sliver, ex
cept by International agreement with
the leading commercial nations of the
world, which we pledge ourselves to
promote, and nntll such agreement can
be obtained we believe the existing
gold standard must be preserved. All
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 aa best calculat
ed to secure the fulfillment of 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, of reducing
pensions and arbitrarily dropping
names from the rolls, aa 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 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-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 an end. In Turkey, American resi
dents have been exposed to the gravest
dangers and American property de
stroyed. There and everywhere Amer
ican cltliens 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 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 hemisphere, but those possessions
must not, on any pretext, be extended.

eventual withdrawal of the European
powers from this hemisphere, and the
ultimate union of all the English

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 opp
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 ot the repub
lic and the maintenance of Its rightful
Influence among the nations of the

ued enlargement ot the navy and
complete system of harbor and Ma
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,

ed ss to exclude from entrance to the
United Bute those who can neither
read nor write.

that needful legislation may be intelli
gently enacted.
Sumptuary Legislation.

gltlrcate efforts to lessen and prevent
