themselves to th. awakened Intelli
gence, experience and conscience of
their countrymen In th. following dec

For th. first tlm since the Civil
War the American people have wit

full and unrestrained Democratic con
trol of th. Government It has been
a record of unparalled Incapacity, dis
honor and disaster. In administrative

and results of successful Republican
rule. In the broad effect of Its policy
It baa precipitated panic, blighted In

pression, closed factories, reduced work
and wages, baited enterprise and crip
pled American production while atlmu
latlng foreign production for the Amer
ican market Every consideration of
public safety and Individual Interest
demands that the government shall be
rescued from the band, of those who
have shown themselves Incapable of
conducting It without din aster at home
and dishonor abroad, and shall he re
stored to tha party which for thirty
year, administered It with unequaled
success and prosperity.
A Protective Tariff.
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. Thl.
true American policy taxes foreign pro
ducts and encourages bom. Industry;
It puts the burden of revenue on for
elgn goods, tt secure, the American
market for the American producer; it
uphold, the American standard ot
wages for the American worklngman;
It put. the factory by the side of the
farm, and make, the American farmer
les. dependent on foreign demand and
price; It diffuse, general thrift and
found, the strength of all on the
strength of each. In Its reasonable ap
plication It I. Just fair, and Impartial,
equally opposed to foreign control and
domestic monopoly, to sectional dis
crimination and Individual favoritism.
W. 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 expense, of
the government but will protect Amer
ican labor from degradation to th.
wag. level of other lands. We are not
pledged to any particular schedules.
The question of rates Is a practical
question, to b. 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 th.
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 restriction,
which now obstruct the sale of Amer
ican products In the port, 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.
W. 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 whlcb
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 a. to those
of the shop and the factory to hemp

try of sheep husbandry, as well a. to
the finished woolens of the mill wa

The Financial Issue.
"Th. Republican party is unreserv
edly for sound money. It caused th.
enactment of th. law providing for the
resumption of specie payment. In 117);
.Inc. then every dollar has been as
good aa gold. W. ar unalterably op
posed to every measure calculated to de
base our currency or Impair the credit
of our country. W. 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 w. believe th. existing
gold standard must be preserved. All
our silver and paper currency now In
circulation must be maintained at a
parity with gold, and w. favor all
measures designed to maintain Inviola
ble th. obligations of th United
States, and all our money, whether coin
or paper, at the present standard, the
standard of the moat enlightened na
tions of the earth."
Pensions for Veterans.
Th veterans of th. Union armle. de
serve and should receive fair treatment
and generous recognition. Whenever
practicable they should be given th.
preference In the matter of employ
ment and they are entitled to the en
actment of such law. as beat calculat

of th. country's peril, W. denounce
th. practice) ot th. pension bureau so
recklessly and unjustly carried on by
th. preMnt administration, of reducing
pensions and arbitrarily dropping
name, from th. rolls, as deserving th.
severest condemnation of the American
people.
Foreign Relations.
Our foreign policy should be at all
times Arm, -rigorous and dignified, and
all our interests In th. western hemis
phere carefully watched and guarded.
Th. Hawaiian Islands should be con-
trolled by the United States and no for
eign power ahould 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 Island, w.
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 State,
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 cltlsena and American property

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 ot 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 and abid
ing Interest the herolo 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 obllgatlones, we believe
that tha 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 a
complete system of harbor and
coast defenses. '
Immigration Laws. -
For th. protection' of th. .quality of
our American citizenship and of the
wage, of our worklngmen against th.
fatal competition of low-priced labor,
we demand that th. Immigration laws
b thoroughly enforced, and so extend
ed as to exclude from entrance to th.
United Bute, those who can neitbsv
read nor writ..

Th. Civil Service law Was placed OS
the statute book by the Republican
party, which baa always sustained it.
and we renew our repeated declara
tions that it shall be thoroughly and
honestly enforced and extended wher
ever practicable.

W demand that .vary citizen ot the
United State, shall be allowed to cast
on. free and unrestricted ballot, and
that such ballot shall be counted and
returned as cast

W. proclaim our unqualified condem
nation of the uncivilised 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 difference, which may arise be
tween employer and employed engaged
In Interstate commerce.

to the free homestead policy of the
Republican party and urge th. pauage
by congress ot the satisfactory free
homestead measure which haa 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 prao
ticable date, having due regard to the
interests of the people of the territo
ries and of the United States. All the
federal officer, appo'nted for the terri
tories .hall be selected from bona Ada
residents thereof, and th. right of self
government .hall be acorded as far aa
practicable.
Alaska Representation.
W. believe the citizen, 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 evil, of intemperance and promote
morality.
Rights of Women.

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
sphere, 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
