and prosperity. .
THE TARIFF.
We renew an t emphasize our alle
giance to the policy of protection as tho
bulwark of an American industrial in
depence and the foundation of Ameri
oan development nnd prosperity. Tina
true American policy taxes foreiin pro
ducts and encourages lioine industry,
and it puts tlie burduu of revenue on
foreign goods; it secures the American
market for the Auiei-iian producer! it
upholds the American htaudat dof waes
for the American woikmrmau; it puts
the factory by thesidi of the farm, and
makes tie American furmer less depend
ent on .foreign demand and price; it
diffuses gerferijHarirt, and found', ih
atrnigth ef a1! on the strength of each;
In Its reasonable application it is ju-t,
fair aud impartial, equally opposed t
foreign control and domestic monopoly;
to sectional discrimination and individ
ual favorititUL
We denounce the prevent Democratic
t iriff as sectional, injiirioiis to the pulv
Ho crsdit and de.structive to Lutinoss en
terprise. We deuiatid bucU an e.piital le
tariff on fori ign imports wliicli como
into coujpi titon with American pro
ducts as will not only turniah utlripiale
rerenuo for the Horn ary exncnsi-a of
the 'Joveinnn nt, but will proteat Am-r-ican
labor frnin Iho ifo.itriidation to tlio
wapte level of other lands. Wo nre n t
pledged to any particular nchedul.a.
The question of rates is a practical qu g
tlen, to be governed by the cenduiocs
of the time and of production; the rul
ing and uncompromising principle is
the protection and development of
American labor and indiblry. The
eon a try demands a riht settlement,
aud then it wants a rest.
RECIPROCITY.
.We believe the repeal f the reciproc
ity arranKfments nt-Ko'iated by the last
Republican adminUtr.it on was a na
tional calamity, and we demand their
renewal and extension ujam such terms
as will eqnali.e our trade with other
atlons, remove the ietr ctior.s which
now obstruct t'ne s ile of American pro
ducts in the ports of other countries,
and secure cniari?".! markets for the pro
ducts cf our farms, foiests aud facto
ries. Protection an 1 rcc iprocity are twin
measures of R"; nl,l ci.n policy, and go
hand in hand. Deiiue ratio rule has
recklessly struck down both and both
must be ri'-est.tb i -hod. Protection
lor what we pioduce; free admis
sion for the nectaries of Ufa which
we do not produce; reciprocal agre
mente of mutual interest which gain
Cpen markets in return for our open
markets to otl ers. Protection bui ds
p I'ome-tio industry and trl aud
Seoul's ettr own market for onrselvea;
reciprocity l.nil lj up foreign trade and
finds an outlet for our surpius.
PUUAR.
We condemn tho present Administra
tion for not keeping fai'Ii with tho sugar
producers of this country. The Repub
lican party favors such jrotoctiou as
will lead to the production ou Ameri
can soil of all the sugar which the Am
erican people use and for which they
paid other countries more tuuu (i00,.
0O0.C00 annually.
WOOL. AND Y.'OOLENS.
To all our products to tho.-e of the
mine and field, as well as those of the
Shop and the factory to hemp, to
wool, the product cf the Kre:it industry
of sheep husbandry ns weil as to the
finished woolei s of the mill wo prom
ise the most ample protection.
MERCHANT MARINE
We favor restoring ti.e early Ameri
can policy of diacrimituting duties for
the upbuilding cf our merchant marine
and the protection of our shipping in
terests in the foreign carrying trade, so
American ships the product of Ameri
can labor, employed in Aiunricau ship
yards, sailing under the htara and

owned by A ruerlcans may regain the j

carrying or our roreigu commerce,
MONEY.
The Republican party is unreservedly
for sound money. It caused the enact
ment of the law providing for the re
sumption of fiecie payment in lb?V;
since then every dollar has been as good
as gold; we are unalterably opposed to
every measure calculated to debase our
currency or impair the credit of our
country. We are, therefore, opposed to
iiid MiaiiBe of rzcept by in
ternational agreement with the leading
commercial nations of the world, which
we pledge ourselves to promote, an 1
until such agreement can be obtained
the existing gold staudui-d must be pre
served. All our silver and paper cur
rency must be maintained at parity
with gold, and we favor all measures
designed to maintain inviolably the oV
ligations' of the Uuited Mates and all
our money, whether coin or paper, at the
present standiuM, the standard of the
most enlightened nations of the earth,
PENSIONS.
The reterana of the Union armies de
serve and should receive fair truatiaent
aud generous recognition. Whenever
practicable they should he given the
preference in the matter of employ
ment, aud they are entitled to the en
actment of such laws as ari best calcu
lated to secure tho fullillment of the
pledges made to them iu the dark days
of the country's peril. We denounce
the practice in the pension bureau, so
recklessly and unjustly carriod on by
the present Administration, of reducing
pensions aud arbitrarily dropping names
from the rolls as deeerving 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 ami guarded.
The liawaiiau islands should be con
trolled by the Uuited States, and no
foreign power should be permitted to
interfere with them. The Nicaragua
canal should be built, owned and oper
ated by the United Suites, and by the
purchase of the Danish islands we
should secure the proiier nnd much
needed naval station iu the West Indies.
ARMEMIAN MASSACRES.
The massacres iu Armenia have
' aroused the deep sympathy and just in
rii irnutinii tf t Vie Ainnrii'MH iiAniila un, 1
we believe the United State should
exert all the influence it rati properjy
exert to bring these atrocities to an end.
In Turkey American residents have
been exposed to the gravest dangers aud
American property destroyed. There
and everywhere American citizens and
American property must be alwolutely
protected at all hazards and at any cost
MONROE DOCTRINE.
We reasaert the Monroe doctrine in
its fullest extent and we reafl'um the
right of the United States to give the
doctrine effect by resn mdiujr to the ap
peals of any American state for friendly
intervention in case of European en
croachment We have not interfered
aud shall not interfere with the existing
possessions of any European power iu
this- hemisphere, but those possessions
must not, on any pretext, be extended
We hopefully look forward to the even
tual withdrawal of rhe Kuropean pow
ers from this hemisphere ami to the
ultimate union of all Euglish-speakiuij
parts of the continent by the free con
sent of it inhabitants.
CURA.
From the hour of achieving their own
Independence, the people, of the United
Slates have regarded with sympathy the
struggles of other American peoples to
free themselves from European domina
tion. Wo watch with deep aud abiding
interest the heroic battle of the Cuban
patriots aga: ist cruelty aud oppression,
and our best hopes go out for the full
success of their determined contest for
liberty. The Government of Spain hav
ing lost control of Cuba, and being un
able to protect the property or lives cf
resident American citizeus or to comply
with iu treaty obligations, we believe
the Government of the United States
should actively use iU influences and
good offices to restore peace aud give in
dependence to the island.
THE NAVY.
The peace aud aecurity of the repub
lic and the maintenance of its rightful
influence among the nations of the earth
demand a uaval powsr commensurate
with ita position and responsibility.
We therefore favor the continued en
largement of the navy and a complete
system of harbor and sea coast defeusea.
FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.
For the protection of the quality of
our American citizenship and the wages
of our workinguieu against the fatal
competition of low-price 1 l ibor, we de
mand that the immigration lavs b
thoroughly uforced aud so extended ss
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 books by the Republican
party, which has alway. sustained it,
and we renew onr repeated dcclaratioi.s
that it sha!vba thoroughly aud honestly
enforced and extended wherever practi
cable. FREE BALLOT.
We demand that every citizen of the
United States shall be allowed to cast
one free and unrestricted ballot, aud
that such badot be counted and returned
as cast.
LYNCHING. .
We proclaim our unqualified condem
nation of the uncivilized and barbarous
practice, well known ns lynchimr, or
killing of human brines upected or
charged with crime, without process if
law.
NATIONAL ARBITRATION.
We favor the creation of a National
Board of Arbitration to Sett'.o aud ad
Just differences which may arise be
tween employers and employed engaged
iu interstate commerce.
HOMESTEAD
We telleve In an immediate retnrn to
the free homestead policy of the Repub
lican party, aud tirte the passage by
Congress of the satisfactory free home
stead measure which has already passed
the House aud is now pending in the
Senate,
TERRITORIES,
We favor the admission cY the re
maining Territories at the earliest prac
ticable date, having due repaid to the
interest of the Territories and the Uuited
SUUs. All the I'cd.-ral , Ulcers ap
pointed for the Territoiles should be
elected from bona fide residents thereof,
aad tue right of se.f-goveruuient siioald
we telleve the citizens or Alaska
should have representation in the Con
gress of the United States, to the end
that needful legislation may be lutein-
genu enactea.
TEMPERANCE.
We sympathize with all wise and
legitimate effort to lessen and prevent
the evils of iutemperance and promote
moraiiiy.
RIGHTS OF WOMEN.
The Republican party is mindful of
ine nguia or women. Protection of
American industries includes equal op-
jTonunities, equal pay ror equal work,
and protection to the home
We favor the admission of women to
wider spheres of usefulness, and wel
come their co-operation in rescuing the
country irom JJemocratlo ;and Populist
mismanagement and miarule.
Such are the principles and policies of
the Republican (Mtrty. By these princi
ples we will abide, and these policies 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 or our cause, we preseut onr
piatrorm ana our candidates, iu the full
assurance that the election' will bring
victory to the Republican party aud
prosperity to the people of the United
Btates.

The propoelttoa that thl government should

at double Its market value, is so rpUKiiniit to
Mis common sense of mankind that it uttvht tu
be unnecessary to discuss it. and would be but
for the faot that a portion nf our people haya
been misled by appeals to their prejudice and
by the specious reasoning of eophUts. If our
Jovernment were auked to declare that two
uarts equaled a gallon or to rvvlae the multi

equaled 90U all m n would st-e the fully, but
when asked to believe that lu worth of mlver,
by being touched by the government stamp,
Instantly btmoniea worth l-tt, many people
honestly believe this miracle may be atvoui
pllshed, and many others affect to believe it
fur practical purposes.
In all ages of the world there have been d
luslons In referenos to money, and In spite of
uniform disastrous results many are ever
ready to listea to the teaching of any charla
tan who claims that be hssdisttuvervd a short
er routs to wealth. They rafune to apply to
money that bard common sense which they
exercise in dealing with the everyday affairs
of life. The ignorant have always had super
stition about silver. Among the negrotisof the
south nothing would kill a witch but a silver
bullet.
That our ancestors 100 years ago fixed a unit
of value In gold or silver and fixed a ratio be
tween them is immaterial to us. 1 heir exam
pie in so doing la not more binding on us than
their methods or business, their means or
transportation, or the implements with which
they sowed and reaped. It would bo a sud
ooinmentary upon our inteUigence if we had
learned nothing in IU) years. We do know
that In fixing a ratio they attributed no iwatfio
to tho government stamp, but sought diiiguut-
ty to ascertain the market virtue, of the two
metals in the leading nattousof the world and
conformed, as they thought, strictly to this
market ratio. By pursuing the method adopt'
rd by them we would now fix the ratio at
about W to 1. The consistent man Is not the
one who stands In one plaoe always, regtrdl(M
of the changing conditions around hiiu, but it
Is ba who, with intelligence and eircuiuHpee-

of affairs.
Gold Versos Silver Standard Countries.
For nearly W fears every raliKhtened nation
in the world has been ou a gold standard basis.
They are all represents tivs governments, and
their laws are made by their people aud fur
their people. The government which first es
tablished the gold standard is more otx-dient
to the will of Its people than ours Is. When an
important administration measure is defeuted
by tho representatives of tits tnghtih people,
the government Is immediately placed In the
hands of the opposition. The gold standard
nations are thote that have reclaimed the
world from barbarism and have giveu It all its
learning and Invention, where schools and
churches abound, where the dignity of man ia
maintained and labor properly rewarded, and
they control the commerce of the world.
These nations, after tsting gold and silver
for hundreds of years, voluntarily adopted the
gold standard. No nation today lias the silver
standard from ch4oe. It Is only because they
are weak and helpless to remedy the evil that
any of them remain on a silver hsttis. But to
day tho United tttates, the foremoHt nation In
all tho earth In solvency and resource., In in
telligence and energy, Is seriously Invited to
abandon the standard of eivilixitiiuu nnd com
merce and to consurt w ith half civilized, half
olad people, who are weak and itfnr;int, who
have little or no commerce, when bull fltrht
abound and schools do not, where human laoor

ws would do well to take a look at the cour
pany before we ait down to tho fraat.
Pre Cot aage Argument.
The Invitation la that this country, aft-r
having adjusted Its enormous bnslm k fur M
f ears to a gold standard. Khali Midd nl v r
ust all business and all v-.:Iue tj wh:U i
termed a double standard of ttM and Nilver.
The arguments advanced iu behalf of such a
ohange are:
First. A double standard resting niM.n gold
and silver would give a more corn-t t measure
of value and one leas Hsble to fluctuation than
a single gold standard.
Second. Uold has appreciated tn value and
all property measured by it has declined In
value.
Third. The supply of gold is inadequate to
make It a safe standard, and the scarcity of it
will tend to tho depression of prices.
Fourth. Tho free, unlimited coinage of sil
ver at the rsttoof lo to I will create unlimited
demand for silver and restore It to par
Fifth. Free and unlimited coinage of silver
at 16 to 1 will increase tho prices of property.
Mythical Doable Standard.
With reference to tho first proposition: A
standard of value is some exact measnm which
enters into and becomes a part of every con
tract, and to which all obligation are refer
able. If our government could, by legal ena-l
ment, fix the value of gold and silver in the
markets of the world and could keep them ad
justed to a fixed ratio, a double standard
would bo practicable. But It cannot nx or
maintain value. The buyers of the world, the
merchants, do that.1 When Abraham purchased
his lot in Epbron a cemetery, be weighed out
to Ephron silver "current money with th
merchant." And the merchants of the world
have been saying what shall be "current
money" from that day to this.
Governments are as powerless tosupprnd the
Isw of value as they aro to suspend the law of
gravitation. Such being the case, I can con
ceive erf two standards, one of gold and the
other of silver, and contracts might be made
referable to elthaff standard, but the ind ter
minate double standard, resting on two met
als aot linked together by any binding obit
aattoo, but both acting under go as you please
rules, Is to mo absolutely Incomprehensible.
We uaanot bind them together as wu So two
mettle in tho pendulum of a clock or in the
mainspring of a watch. No people ever did
business under the Imaginary double stamlard,
and every att-mpt to en f ores It has rult4 in
alternating from one standard to the other.
Englsnd tried It for sTO years, and it was an
utter failure. Franca changed her ratio lit
times ia lit years trying to wslk the donhle
standard tight rope. We tried Hand went fir!
to a silver basis, then to a gold basis, tbea to
a pap-" basis and then back to a gold basis.
The phrase "double standard" Is a contradic
tion of terms. Standard means correct mess
are, and there cannot be two different correct
measurea of value any more thsa there can lie
two different eorrect weights to sell by, two
d i it t rent eorreot eompasssa to sail by or two
different eorreot thermometers to measure
temperature by. If one measure Is correct, tba
ether can aot differ from It snd be correct.
Oroshaaa'a Law.
It Is an Inexorable law of money that when
two metal ars coined at a fixed ratio and both
mads legal tend If either Is anuVrf ahwd in
the coinage law the undervalued metal got
out of circalatloa. About the middle of tho
fourteenth century Nicholas Oreemn. the
father of finance in Franca, announced his
great law to Charles V; 1 years later Coper
nicus, the founder of modern astronomy, an
sou need it to the Prussians, and years still
law Ureshaaa anBounosd It to Vnen Elisa
beth. Macaulay In his "History of England"
Stows how perfectly this Isw worked In Erg
fend and eloquently dearrtbes the dir-rul
frnsenuenea. He was describing coin de

to keep it good, and they are iis enemies,
who, by unlimited cotnugt would take froiq
It the guaruiite of parity by the government,
snd thereby di -grudt it to its maikrt va(u.
Our goverunu nt has leen ami tu uow coin
ing silver at the ratio of lo to 1. It is enabled
to do this, bocuuc under the btw it can re
strict the amount coined, ami, being vested
with thU control, it undertakes tu make every

fru and unlimited 1 xpennes then the int r- ;

If there is anything in the double standard
stability Ides wo ouiit to work for it for all
it Is worth. If two metals will fix value better
than one, then three metaU will beat two, and
four beat three, and by having eiyht or ten
motuls In the itnmlard we can anehor it so
that it will not craw 1 an Inch in 1.0U) years.
Iho second proposition is that gold has ap
preciated and thereby depressed prices. The
same oauMe operating upon a number of ar
ticles will produce the same effeet In all thot
nut afftMtted by a contravening caune. When
we contemplate prices, we find that touru the
gold standard was adopted, Fib. 12, ImTJ, somo

The stock argument or the 10 to 1 people In
that wheat and cotton have declined, and they
seem tu gloat over the fact. 1 knew an old
negro whu, when anked how he was getting
along, always replied, "foorly, thank Ood!
and they are thankful when tho country is
poorly on wiicirj and cotton. Mnce imts the
vast fertile prairies of the northwettt have
been turned into wheatflelda, so that the pro
duct ion of wheat tn the Vulttd btates has been
doubled since tlieu. 1 he same thing has been
going on In KusMia and South America. Tim
wonderful improvements iu machinery fur
harvesting wheat nnd the exteiihion of rail
roads for trail port in it tu market gave sn
immense Impetus tu the production of it. A
farmer can make more money raising it at f
cents per btmhel today titan he could at 11 per
UUHhei m years ago. 1 lie result has been that
tho overproduction of wheat has reduced its
price, and the gold standard bad nothing to do
with the reduction, its price is regulated by
supply and demand
Chinch Hugs, Caterpillars and Boll worms
Last Hay a little bug settled down on the
wheuttlclds of the nortliwct, and in one or
two weeks eat up one-half of the Id to 1 argu
ment on prices and sent the prices lsMk Into
the neighborhood of thueof Ihid. The old hay
stx-da, who knew tho huhits of the chiuch hug
and the kind or a multiplication table he ued
in regulating the Increase in his family, took
the trains for Chicago, comtnenoed buying
wheat snd broke all tlie "smart Alecks" In
the city. They may have talked gold itaudard
depression at hopie, but they put their money
ou the chinch bug in the city aud won. The cat
erpillar snd Ijollworm can do the same thing for
cotton. I only know the chinch bug by reputa
tion, but 1 am personally acquainted with
theae worm. They aru composed of appetite
and skin. They do not care a tinker's blearing
for anybody ' ntundard, and when they invade
the cotton fields of the south they send the
pric of cotton up In every mart of the world,
gold itandard or no gold tandard. They have
been doing buainena with U this so?niiier and
have moved the prico of cotton up 61) er cent.
This bug and th-e worms haven't many
friends, but as sluggi rs in an argument w ith
a 16 to 1 crank they am entitled to the belt.
Cotton brought 1 a pound in cw Vork dur
ing the war, and au tu 40 cents a pound the
first year after the war un account of the four
years' cotton famine from lfctil to lwifi, and it
was several years getting down to Its normal
price. The price declined when we mode Po
much of it. The lariet cottou crip made with
lave labor was 4,iW,..u bales, nnd I rememtjs r
It was confidently predicted that no snefa crop
would ever be made with free labor. The crop
of In', 2 was leas than ii,iiU'l bales, snd we
gradually 1ncrrad it t a Httlo less than 10.-
UUD.UUO tates in 14. Imiia, Kgypt and Braxil
are also ralsittg larg'-r crnj of cotton- The
Immense crop of )ii4 won thrown upon a
market illy prepared to receive it. For three
years there bad been U rn cotton goods oon-
sumed than usual, owing to the worldwide
panic and deprenwiuti of bUHinetw foUuwtng tho
baring failure, and these two conditions meet
ing overproduction and underconsumption
bniught cotton down to a very low price.
Some of the PctpulM U il us there cannot be
overproduction until every msn, woman and
child In the world has a rotund stomach and a
full suit of clothes. This is baned upon the.
communistic idea that It Is tho duty of gov
ernment to tkf care of every loafer h 1
too lasy to work fur a living, and Is too con
temptible to waste an answer on.

capita of money was lU.Tg. In leV4, after tho
country hail been suffering with gold standard
for ill years, our population Is fe.ift.youo, and
our per capita of money is hV44, snd we have
much better money now than ho had then.
The adoption of the gold standard as a meas
ure of value did not increase tlie demand for
guld fur use to any great extent. Alcohol ia
the standard for measuring the strength of all
spirituous liquors, yet that fact has nuver been
found to be Very at raining on alcohol.
A Surfeit of Silver.
Fourth proposition, that the free and unlim
it-d coinage of silver at 14 to 1 would create
unlimited demand for silver and restore it to
a par. Huw the mere coinage of silver can In
any way Increase Its use among the people I
am unable to understand. If there wss nut
enough of It for use as money and tho govern
ment was limiting the coinage of It and there
by denying the people of the use of tt as
money, then there would be force in ths prop
osition to increase the coinage of silver. But
our condition is exactly the rerrrse of that.
The amount of coined and uncoined silver in
tlie trwasnry Is $:d'i,000.uuu, while th s mount
In circulation is shout 107,OUO,UUO.
Tu encourage the use of silver by the people
the government exchanges coined sliver at its
mints for gold or legal tender currency and
mys the express charges oa Ike silver to any
part of the country. This coined silver is all
good money. The dollars are legal tender fur
all debts in any smwutit, and the halves, qur
ters and dinn s nre exchangeable In turns of
JU for guld or other legal tenders. Notwith
standing the tudm nvnt offered by the gov
ernment to promote tlie use of silver, it has
hithertu laueii unable to furos into circulation
more than slut one fifth of its stuck on hand.
Th n, why nil tfiis eUmor for more siinsgcf If
a man had five times as mu h blood In his lmdy
as his arteries aud veins would etrcuhtto and
ffiir flflhs of It Was lying Idle around his
heart, w-mild any one nay that such a mau
needed a tree and unlimited infusion of blood?
A government can no more iuuu e people to
use money they do not want than ttcnii induce
them to eat what they do not like. The true
place ,f tiiver is ana abaiige money. It Is Indis
pensable for tliiit pnrjKtse and nnsutted tu any
other, and all the silver tongucd orators li tlie
kind ciin not change this f;e-t. The f , $2 .Vi snd
tti gold pice were too small and were unpop

On the other hand, stiver Is not a debt pay
ing money tu any oonudorsblo amount, nur
the nion- y of commerce, for the reason that tt
Is too bulky snd too heavy. When a man gets
evt r f5 or llu of It, he unloads sn the first
Lr,k be com Pi, and the Lank unloads oa
the tr Hsiiry. Thus tho circulation of it Is lim
its d to Jtist I at the people will use. When
