THE TARIFF. We renew and emphasize our alle giance to the policy f protection as ti e bulwark of an American industrial in depence ami the foundation of Ameri can development and prosM'i-ity. This true American policy t-ix.-s foreign jiro ducts and inc.. urates home industry, aud it puts tlie burden of revenue on foreign goods; it secures the Ameiicaii market for the Aineii.an jin. lu. er! it upholds the American standui il of ai;.-s for the Amei i. an worltiniuaii; it puis the factory by tbeside of the farm, an 1. makes the American farmer less ilrpemU ent on foreign demand and price; i; diffuses fci.er.tl tlinit. and loumU t: . strength of a'l on the strength of eai h. In iU reasonable ni'plicaliou it is jn-l, fair and impartial, equally opposed t foreign contiol and iloin. st.c iiioiio...ly; to sectional discrimination and individ ual favoritiMii. We denounce the pie-ent D -n ocrulic ttriff as sectional, injurious to the pub lic crsdit a:i.l destructive to business en terprise. We demand sm h an eipiit.-il le tsriff on foreign iinporU whicli count Into competition with Amerna'i pro duct as will not only lurni-h udciiuate revenue for the necessary expenses of the lovei nineiit. but will protect Amer ican labor from the d'-wradatinn to the waie level ef ot In r lands. We are ii t pledged to any particular schedule. The question of rutes is a practical quca tlen, to be governed by ti e condition ef Ih time and of production; the rul ing and uncompromising principle is the protection aud development of American lalx.r and imlumry. The ouatty demands a light oeitiemeut, aaa tun it wauls a rest. REClPROt ITY'. We believe the repeal of the reciproc ity arrangement' negotiated by the last Jlpubllcan administration was a na tional calamity, and we demand their renewal aud extension upon such terms as will equalize our trade with other atloiis, remove the ifl-tr ctior.s which now obstruct tlie sale of American pro ducts in the port of other countries, and secure enlarged marker for the pro ducts of our farms.

The Republican party is unreservedly for touud money. It caused the enact uieut of the law providing for the re sumption of specie payment iu lS.tf; since then every dollar has been as good as gold; we are unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to ilebuse our currency or iuipiir the credit of our country. We are, therefore, opposed to the trie coinage of silver except by iu trrr.atiouul agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and until sucli agreement can be obtained the exiistiiig gold standard must be pre served. All our silver aud paper cur rency must be maintained at pariiy with gold, and we favor all measures designed to maintain inviolably tliMolt ligations of the United Males and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the present standard, the standard of the most enlightened nations of the earth. PENSIONS. The Teterana of the Union armies de serve and should receive fair treatment aud generous recognition. Whenever practicable they should 1 given the preference in the matter of employ ment, aud they are entitled to the en actment of such laws as are best calcu lated to secure the fulfillment of the pledges made to them in the dark days of the country's peril. We denounce the practice iu tint pemriou bureau, so recklessly aud unjustly carried on by the present Administration, of reducing pensions and arbitrarily dropping names from the rolls us deserving the severest condemnation ot 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 foreign power should be permitted to interfere with them. The Nicaragua canal should be built, owned and oper ated by the United States, and by the purchase of the Danish islands we should secure the proper and much needed naval station iu the West Indies. ARMEMIAN MASSACRES. The massacres in Armenia have roused the deep sympathy and just in dignation of the American people, aud we believe the United Stales should exert all the influence it can properly exert to bring these atrocities toau end. In Turkey American residents have been exposed to the p invest dangers and Americau property destroyed. There and everywhere American citizens and American property must 1 alsoluteiy protected at all hazards ami at any cost. MONROE DOCTRINE. We reassert the Monroe doctrine in its fullest extent and we reaffirm the right of the United States to give tiie doctrine effect by responding to the ap peals of any Americau state for friendly intervention iu case of European en croachment. We have not interfered and shall not interfere with the existing possessions of uny 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 Hie European pow ers from this hemisphere and to the ultimate union of all English-speaking parts of the continent by the free ten sent of its inhabitants. CUBA. From the hour of achieving their own independence, the people of the United States have regarded wit h sympathy the struggles of other American peoples to free themselves from European domina tion. We watch with deep and 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. Th Government of Spain hav ing lost control of Cuba, and being un able to protect the property or lives of resident American citizens or to comply with its treaty obligations, we believe the Government of the United IStat.s should actively use its influences aud good offices to restore peace and gire in dependence to the island. THE NAVY. The peace and security of the reptile lie and the maintenance of its rightful influence among the nations of the earth demand naval powsr commensurate with its position and responsibility. We therefore favor the continued en largement of the navy aud complete system of harbor and sea coast defenses. FOREIGN IMMIGRATION. For the protection of the quality of our American citizenship and the wages of our workiiigineii against the fatal competition of low-price 1 labor, we de mand that the inin.imai mn lavs b thoroughly u forced and so extended a to exclude from entrance to the United States those who can neither read nor write. CIVIL PF.RVI' n. Tiie civil service law was placet! on the statute baiks by the Republican party, which has always sustained it, and we renew our repeated declarations that it shall b thoroughly and honestly enforced and extended wherever practi cable. FREE BALLOT. We demand that every citizen of the United 8 ate shall be allowed to cast one free aud unrestricted ballot, aud that such ballot be counted aud returned as oust. LYNCHING. yVe proclaim our unqualified condem natio.i of the uncivilized and barbarous practice, well kuown as lynching, or killing of human lieings suspected or charged with crime, without process of law. NATIONAL ARBITRATION. We favor ti e creation of a National B .ard of Arbitration to s -ttle and ad just differences which may arise be tween employers au 1 employed engaged iu interne commerce. HOMESTEAD We lelteve in un imnie liate return to the fie hPlnetea.l policy of the Repub lican paity, and urge the rasah) by Congress of t ue sat i-faetory tiee home stead measure win. h has aiready passed the H mse aud is iww pending in tut B in ate. TERRITORIES. We favor the adm -sion fcf th re maimr.g Territories at tu earliest prac ticable date, haviug due regards to th Interest of the Terr.t. ri s and t he United States. All the Federal effi-ers ap pointed for the T-i ritori-s should I elected from K.t.a ti le residents therevf. aad tie right of .l-R jvroLueut W telleve tue citUeus of Alaska should have representation iu the Con gress of the United States, to the end that needful legislation may be intelli gently enacted. TEMPERANCE. We sympathize with all wise and legitimate effort to lessen and prevent the evils of iutemperance and promote morality. RIGHTS OF WOMEN, i The Republican party i mindful of I the rights of women. Protection of I American Industrie include equal op ! portunities, equal pay for equal work, nd protection to the home. We faror the admission of women to wider sphere of usefulness, and wel come their co-operation In rescuing the country from Democratic )and Populist mismanagement and misrule. Such are the principles and policies of the Republican party. By these princi ples we will abide, and these policies w will put into execution. We ask for them the considerate judgment of the Americau people. Confident alike In the history of our great party aad iu the Justice of our cause, we present our platform aud our candidates, iu the full assurance that the election will bring vlotory to the Regublicau party and prosperity to the people of the United State.

Iu 17S ouiy per cent of the foreign commerce of the United States was carried in American ships, although Americau ships were built from 3d to .10 ja-r cent cheacr and better, and listed longer, than foreign ships. The lirst act of tlie tirt congress, and subsequent nets of that and other congresses during the latter part of the past century, created a preference for American ships in the carriage of Americau foreign commerce, by taxing imports in for eign ships more than they were taxed In American ships. That pol icy, during the nearly forty years it was in force, enabled American ships to carry tt) per cent of American foreign comuierce. In the mistaken belief that Ameri can ships could thereafter carry all of our foreign commerce, without any statutory preference, the legislation that had created that preference was partly retealed In IS 1.1, still more was reealed In H17, and in 1S2s was wholly and finally repealed. From that time American ships car ried less and less of Americau com merce, and at the beginning of the civil war they carried but liii per cent., which had fallen at the close ol the war to but 23 per cent, and is to day but 11 per cent of our foieigu commerce. Iu 1792 au act was passed w hich counties! our coastwise and inland commerce to vessels of the United States, an act that has never been dis turbed, aud which has given to the United .States the finest inland ship ping In the world. In 17'J.' Ameri can registry was denied to foreign vessels, which act has been continual ly in force ever since. But the act of ISJS, above referred to, nevertheless l-rmits foreign ships to freely com 'te with American ships in the car riage of American foreign commerce. From time to time attempts have been made to again give (lie carrying of our commerce to our own ships by bounties aud subsidies. In His sub sidies were granted to two transatlan tic American lines and withdrawn in 18.V.I, whereupon the lines failed. The subsidy act of IS'Jl lias, by the help of another act, placed four ves sels under the American Hag, two of which are of American construction. This is the sum total of accomplish ment under subsidies in the United States. There has never la-en a boun ty act passed for the benefit of Amer ican ships, although such a bill bus been discussed and advocated. The foreign commerce of the Uni ted States annually consists of lie tween one and a half and two billions of dollars' worth of imports aud ex ports, aud employs several millions of tons of foreign ships. In order that American ships may be restored to the carrying of this commerce, an agitation has been begun fir the readoption of the policy of l"s!i to create a preference for American ships by taxing imorts a higher duty when brought here in foreign ships. Senator S. H. F.lkins, of West Virginia, and Hon. S. E. Pane, of New York, have this year introduced In the United States senate and house, resiectively, a Joint bill which provides lor a duty of 10 per cent more upon imports iu foreign ships than is levied upon imports in Amer ican ships. This policy has this year been indorsed by the republican con ventions held In the following States; Massachusetts, Oregon, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, iJelaware. West Virginia, North Carolina, Washing ton, Colorado and Maine. The hio republican platform avoreil the use of American shifts for the carriage of American commerce without spii-ify-ing any policy. The republican na tional platform also indorses the pol icy of I7S9. Whether the demisTatic party can he luduced to favor this policy, which Thomas Jefferson was particularly influential in having first established, and which is the only (sdicy that has ever lsen successful in giving to American ships the carriage of American commerce, is not at present kuown. If the democrats would join the republicans and restore and maintain that policy, in the same non-partisan and unanimous manner that it was a hundjed years ago, its permanence would Is? assured, it would continually employ hundreds of thousands of skilled workmen in American shipyards, and would cause the retention in the United States of the hundreds of millions of dollar annually sent abroad in gold to pay foreign fthl for carrying Amisican commerce, TIC iauCTIIaTIM.

The act of February 12, lsT j, passed just as every other law has been pas.-eil through congress iu the light of day, after thorough discus shui in ciiiiimitteo and out of com mit tee. The original bill was prepared iu the treasury department by John J. K u. tv, deputy controller of tiie cur rency, and was introduced iu the seunte of Hie United Stall's April 1 Is"", together with a report contain ing the reasons for its introduction. The origiaul bill contained the following sections ltcrtinent to the subject, viz : Str. 1 I That the gold coins of the l liilttl Siuii-s shall bv a iioe-doiinr piece, which, at the standard weight of "i.S grains, shall be the unit of value, etc. Si:r. 10 That of the silver coin, the weight of the half-dollar or piis-e of oil cents, shall be 11' grains. That the silver coin issued in conformity w ith the above section shall be a legal lender in any one payment of debts for all sums le-s than i. Si-.r. Is That no coins, either gold, silver or minor coinage, shnl hereafter be issued Imni the mints other than liiuso of the denomina tions, standards and weights herein set forth. In the olli'-ial report accompanying this bill the discontinuance of the silver dollar is specifically mentioned iu four ililh rent places. This bill was favorably reported IVeember I'd, 170, as given above, and Senator Stewart voted for its passage. Not only did Senator Stewart vote for tlie bill, but lie raised his voice for the siugle-gol.l standard, is ho now raisisi his voice for the silver standard. Senulor Stew art said (page lU'.l-'t, vol. J, part 1', Congressional Hecord): "I want the standard gold, and no paper money not redeemable iu gold." And Senator Stewart is now editor of the "Silver Knight." Two weeks later be said: "By this process we shall come to a stiecit' basis, and when the laboring limn receives a dollar it will have the purchasing power of a dollar, and he will not be called upon to do w hat is impossible for him or the producing classes to do figure upon the exchanges, fig ure upon the tiuctuations, figure upon the gambling in New York, but he will know what his money is worth. Gold is the universal standard of the world. Everybody knows what a dollar iu gold Is worth." Is this the same Senator Stewart who is now clamoring for the silver standard? Is it possible that this is the same Senator Stewart who now dedans that the whole thing was a conspiracy and a fraud, that the sil ver dollar of I12J grains was surrep titiously dropped out I. fore the pas sage of the Isll, when that dollai was never in the bill from first to last'. How can Senator Stewart brand those who were instrumental in passing the bill as "conspirators,"! when his own vote is recorded for it, and be said w ith his own voice prac tically w hat the republican platform says to-day, viz: That the gold standard is the universal standard of all the enlightened nations of the earth? S.ccial attention was called to the fact that we Were adopting, by the bill of ls,:i, the single gold standard, by the following members of cor- gress, viz: llotis. C. 1. poller, W. I.. Stoiighton, Ssmiiel 1 .e..i r and Will-i into Kelley. M r. 1 Io'.per said : "The j gold ! il lit r should be declared tlie; money unit, or metallic representa tion of the dollar of account." Mr. Sli.ughtou said: "The gold dollar should Is- di-tinetly dis lansl to Is- the coin representative of the money unit."
