REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
PnrLA di Lem a . Following la the foil
text of tlie platform adopted by lbs Re
publican National convention I
The Republican of thaUuited Stetes,
tnrotiKh their choaen representative,
net in natiooal couTeutiou, looking
bai k npou an onuorpaaaed record of
acbievrini'ut, and looking forward Into
treat field of duty aud opportunity
and appealing to the judgment of their
rouutryuieu, make these declarations:
The expectation in which the Auiert
tan people, turning from the IXaiocratio
pnrty, iutruated power four years ago to
a Republican chief magistrate and a
Republican rouKreea, ha been met and
fatUAed. Wheu the people then as
sembled at the polls after a term of
Democratio legislation and administra
tis, Lusiue a was dead. Industry para
ly a. d and the national credit disastrous
ly impaired. The country' capital
was hidden away aud its labor distress
ed aud unemployed. The Democrats
had uo other plan with which to Im
prove the ruinous conditions which they
had themselves produced than to ooln
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.
Iruaiuf Itjr Rr.tagM By stapablleau.
The Rcpi'blicau party denouncing
this plan ax sure to produce conditions
even worse tbar. those from which re
lief was sought, promised to restore
prontH-rity by means of two legislative
measures s protective tariff and a law
risking gold the standard of value.
The people by great majorities issued to
the Republican party a commission to
enact these law. This commission has
teen executed aud the Republican
promise is redeemed. Prosperity mora
lieueral aud more abuuduut than w
have ever known baa followed these
enactments. There la uo longer any
controversy as to the value of any gov.
trumuut obligations. Every American
dollar is a gold dollar or it assured
equivalent, and American credit stand
higher than that of any other nation.
Capital is fully employed and every
where labor is profitably occupied.
Ho single fiiot oan mure strikingly
tell the story of what Republican govern
meut moans to the country than this
that while during the whole period from
1801 to 18U7 there was an excess of ex
jiort over imports of ouly $3rj3,034,4u7,
t here has beeu iu the short three years of
t be present Republicauadtuiuistratiouan
excess of exports over import in the
euormou sum of $l,48i),7S8,0M, and
while the American people, sustained
by this Republican legislation, have
been achieving these splendid triumph
iu their buaiuuss aud commerce, they
have oouducted aud iu victory conclud
ed a war for liberty and human rights.
Var for Mfc-rty Met Assraadlafsaeat.
No thought of national aggrandise
ment tarub -ted th high riuroose with
which American standards were un
furled. It was a war unsought and
patiently reswted, but when it earns the
American government was ready. It
fleet were cleared for action. It arm
ios were in the field, and the quick aud
signal triumph of its force on land and
bore, equal tribute to the skill aud
foresight of Republican statesmanship.
To 10,000,010 of the human raoe there
was given "a new birth of freedom, "
and to the American people a new and
noble responsibility.
Indorsement of President MeKlaUy.
We indorse the administration of
William McKinley. It set have been
established in wisdom and in patriot
ism, aud at home aud abroad it ha dis
tinctly elevated aud extended th influ
ence of the American nation. Walk
ing untried paths and facing unforeseen
responsibilities, President MoKinley has
been iu every situation the true Ameri
can patriot and upright statesman, clear
in vision, strong in judgment, firm in
action, always Inspiring and deserving
the confidence of his countrymen.
In asking the American people to In
dorse this Republican record aud lo re
new their oommlSHion to the Republi
can party, w remind them of th fact
that the menace to their prosperity has
always resided in Democratio principles
snd no leas iu the general incapacity of
the Democratio party to conduct public
affairs. The prime essential of busi
ness prosperity is pnbllo confidence in
the good aeuseof the goverament snd
its ability to deal Intelligently with all
new problems sf administration and
legislation. That confidence the Demo
cratio party has never earned. It is
hopelessly inadequate, and the country's
prosperity, wheu Democratio saooesa at
the polls is annouueed, halts aud ma tut
in mere autisipation of Democratio
blunders aud failures.
Deelaratiea far Ike UetS StaadarS.
We renew our allegiance to the prin
ciple of the gold standard, aud declare
our confidence in the wisdom of the
legislation of the Fifty-sixth congress
by which the parity of all our
niouey and the stability of our currency
on a gold baais has beeu secured. We
recognize that interest rates are a po
teut factor in production and business
activity and fur the purpose of further
equalising and of further lowering the
rates of interest we favor such mone
tary legislation as will enable th vary
ing needs of the season and of all aeo
tioas to be properly met in order that
trade mar be evenly sustained, labor
steadily employed and commerce en
larged. The volume of niouey in c ir
on latins was never so great per capita
ss It is today.
We declare our steadfast opposition
to the free aud Delimited coinage of
silver. Ho measure to that end could
bo oonsidered which was without th
apport of the leading commercial oona
tnea of th world. However firmly

have aecsred the nrautry agaisst she

rights of producers, laborers aud all
who are engaged in industry aud com
tneroe.
Declarative far Pratertlan.
W renew our faith In the policy of
protection to American labor. In that
policy our industries have beeu estab
lished, diversified and maintained. By
protecting the home market, the ouui
aitition has beeu stimulated and pro
duction cheapened. Opportunity th
iuventive geuiu of our people baa been
secured aud wage in every depart
ueut of labor have been maintained at
high rates, higher now than ever before,
thus distinguishing our working people
in their better conditions of life from
those of auy couipetiug country. En
joying the blessings of American com
mon schools, secure in the right of self
government and protected iu the occu
pancy of their owu markets their con
stantly increasing knowlege aud skill
have enabled them finally to euter th
markets of the world. We favor the
associated policy of reciprocity, so di
rected as to opeu our markets on favor
able terms for what we do not ourselves
produce in return for free foreign mar
ket. In the further Interests of American
workiueu, we favor a more effective re
striction of the immigration of cheap
labor from foreign lauds, the extension
of opportunities of education for work
ing children, the raising of the age
limit for child labor, the protection of
free labor as agaiust convict labor aud
an effective system of labor insurance. '
Our present depeuduuee ou foreign
shipping fur uiue-teutb of our foreign
carrying is a great loss to the industry
of this country. It is also a serious
danger to our trade for its u ldeu with
drawal in the event of a Eurupuuu war
would seriously cripple our expanding
foreign commerce. The u.itional de
fense and naval ellicieucy of this coun
try, moreover, supply a compelling rea
son for legislation which will enable us
to recover our former place amoug the
trade carrying fleets of the world.
liberal Pension laws favored.
The nation owes a dul.t of profound
gratitude to the soldiers aud sailors who
have fought its battles, aud it is the gov
ernment's duty to provide for the sur
vivors and for the widows aud orphans
of those who have fallen in the coun
try's wars. The pension laws founded
In this just seutiment should be lwVeral
aud should be liberally administered,
and preference should be given, wher
ever practicable, with respect to em
ployment in the public service, to sol
diers aud sailors aud to their widows
and ophaus.
Benublleaas nail the Civil Service.
We oommeud the policy of the Re
publican party in maintaining the effici
ency of the civil service. The adminis
tration has acted wisely in its effort to
secure for public service in Cuba, Purto
Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines only
those whose fituesa ha been determin
ed by training and experience. We be
lieve that employment in the publio
service in these territories should be
son fined, as far as practicable, to their
Inhabitants.
It was the plain purpose of the Fif
teenth amendment to the constitution
to prevent discrimination on account of
race or color in regulating the elective
franchise. Devices of states gnvern
(oents, whether by statutory or consti
tutional enaotineut, to avoid the pur
nose of this amsndmeut are revolution
ary and should be condemned.
Public movements looking to a per
manent improvement of the roads and
highways of the country meet with our
enrdiul approval, and we recommend
this subject lo the earnest consideration
of the people aud of the legislatures of
the several states.
We favor the extension of the rural
tree delivery servisoe wherever its ex
tension may be justified.
Reelanatloa of Arid Lands,
In the further pursuance of the con
stant policy of the Republican party to
provide free home on the pnbllo do
main, wo recommend adequate national
legislation to reclaim the arid land of
the United States, reserving control of
ths distribution of water for irrigation
to the respective states and territories.
W favor horns rule for and the early
admission to statehood of the territories
Sf Kw Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma.
War Teas aad Vlenracaa Canal.
The Diugley act, amended to pro
vide sufficient revenue for the conduct
sf ths war, has so well performed its
work that it has been possible to red ace
th war debt in the sum of $40,000,000.
Bo ample are the government's revenues
aad so great is the public confldnnoe in
ths integrity of Its obligations, that its
aswly fanded two per cent bonds sell
at a premium. The country is now
jastiled In expecting and it will be the
policy of the Republican party to bring
about a reduction of the war taxes.
W favor the construction, owner
ship, eoaieol and, protection of an
isthmian oanal by the government of
the United States. New markets are
a eo unary for th Increasing surplus of
our fares products. Every effort should
bo ntads to open and obtain new mar
kets, especially in the Orient, and th
administration la warmly to bo com
manded for its suooesef ul effort to com
mit all trading and oolouising nations
to the policy of the open door in China.
Department of Cnaanierea Fevered.
In the Interest of our expanding oom
merce we recommend that congress cre
ate a department of commerce and In
dustrie in th charge of a secretary,
with a aeat In the cabinet. The United
State consular system should be reor
ganised under the supervision of this
new department upon snob a basis of
appointment and tenure as will render
It still mors serviceable to ths nation's
Increasing trade.
The American government must pro

The President's Porolga Polley Caw
n'snSoS-
President McKinley has conducted
Ins foreign affairs of the United "J'
with distinguished credit to ths Ameri
can people. Ia releasing us from ths
vexatious European alliance for th gov
eminent of (Samoa, his course is especi
ally to be commended. ' By securing to
our undivided control the most import
ant island of the Samgau group, and
the best harbor in the southern Pacific
every American interest has been safe
guarded. We approve the annexation of ths
Hawaiian islands to the United States.
We commend the part taken by oor
goverumeut in th peace conference at
The Hague. We assert our steadfast
adherence to the policy auuounood in
the Monroe doctriu.
Oa the Sentk African War.
The provisions of The Hasue conven
tion were wisely regarded wheu Presi
dent McKinley tendered his friendly
ottloea iu the interest of peace between
Great Britain and the South African
repnoucs. vv hue too American govern
ment must ooutiuus the policy pro
scribed by Washington, affirmed by
very succeeding president, aud Im
posed upou us by The Hague treaty, of
non-iuterveution in European contro
versies, the American people earnestly
hope that a way may soon bo found,
honorable alike to both contending par
ties, to terminate the strife between
them.
Treatment mt the PklHpnlnas.
In accepting by the treaty of Paris
the just responsibility of our victories
in the Spanish war, the president and
ths senate won the undoubted approval
of the American people. No other
course was possible than to destroy
Spain's sovereignty throughout the
West Indies and in ths Philippine.
That oourse crested our responsibility
before the world and with the unorgan
ized population whom our intervention
had freed from Spain, to provide for
maintenance of law and order, and for
the establishment of good government
and for the performance of International
obligations. Our authority oonld not
bo loss than our responsibility, and
wherever sovereign right were extend
ed, it became the high duty of the gov
ernment to maintain its authority, to
put down armed insurrection and to
confer the blessings of liberty and oiyll.

The largest measure of self-government

our duties shall be secured to them by

principles aud policies, confidently in

Judgment of the American people.

ihe president said, had freed the
slaves, and lo ,t "has come another
supreme opportunity, which it has
bravely met in the liberation of 10,

the yoke of iisperiaiisui." This re
ference lo the Philippines preseo s
Ihe sulj ft from a point of view ex
nelly opposite that found In the de
luot-raiic pisiform It is imperialism
that lias been (It etroyed, not created,
iu tbe irtsMeskioiis acquired from
Spain. When the treaty was under
discussion even tbe democratic pas-rs
did uot faor the return of the Philip
pines to the goverumeut that had
owned Ifieui for hundreds of years.
The imperialism of Spain was re
moved forever. Another newasity
of the case was lo keep Ihe archipela
go from falling into the bands ol
some other monarchical country,
wki:h would have beeu merely to
replace oue kind of imperialism with
auot her.
The democratic charge of imperia
lism therefore reals ou the purpose
of the republican admiuiairation to
keep the Philippine and govern
them iu accordance with the prlu.i
pies ou which a free ualiou is found
ed. But the democratic r. commen
dbtioil ia lo set up the Filipino iu a
republic of their own under our pro
tection. If this Ii not doue the poli
cy is denounced as iinper alistic. Tht
fact of Ibe matter is that bumau In

proposition into effect. Tl ere are

"Ex OrienteXux" is the motto ol
The Orieut, a Tokyo magazine edit
ed iu English by Japanese for tbe
avowed purpose of enlightening the
Auglo-Sazon world with regard to
Jspsn. Its editor is vry anxious
for an explanation of the apparent
divergent e between Christian theory
and pr celiac. We condense his arti
cle as follows :
Japan et.Joys the unique distinc
tion of being the only non-Cbristiau
power that bus bten admitted into
what ia called the comity of nations
on a footing of perfect equality, ami
to judge from the ulterauce of the
Europeau and American press sli - is
by uo means the least respected pow
er. Uofottuuately the cause of this
respect is uot such as to sili-fy all
Japanese. Japan lias mntle great
progress in the arts of peace, but
that Is not realty t. ny she is respect
ed. ' That rispect was earned in a
short nine months by the achieve
ments of the Jspuiese army and
navy. Now, that soil of thing is
pleasing enough to a nation's amour
propre, but on calmly thiu king the
waiter over some Japanese would
wish thai the rea t of western na
tions had been earned by something
else than by mere proficiency iu the
art ol alaughler conducted on mod
ern scientific principles. Kussis, tia
is respected and feared. Yet she is
the only non-constitutional country
in Ibe county of nations. The I i tier
ly of the Individual and of the press
is under the tyranny of mere adn.iu
istrative orders in Russia and otlicial
peculal.oo is nearly as rife as in
China. Aud this gives rise t ) strange
misgivings. Are the so-called Chrict
iau nations really followers of Ihe re
ligious cuit they so i.sletitatiously
and proudly profess?
Without going so far with Count
Tolstoy as lo say that his rendering
of tbe real meaning of Christianity
ia Ibe correct one, we do go so far as
to say that Ihe precepts of Ihe Ser
mon on the Moiibt are tbe mewl Im
ports!, t in tie so-called Christian
cisle of morality. And these pre
cepts unquestionably are against war
and all again t according honor lo
any nation or any man oo the mere
grounds of success in the exercise of
brute force, mu.'li less of success in
' e
slaughtering enemies. And yet it is
precise'y on the e grounds that non
Chrirtian Japan has beeu accorded
the resa-ct ol erwMllcd Christian Eu
rope aud Amerlii !
We can very well understand tbe
old Hebrewa respecting ns for soccesa
in war, lor tbe old Hebrew God was
God of battles. But we have al-
ways underst aid that the Christian
Father In Heaven was no mere tri
bal war god, but a Go I of love. The
present situation ia not a Utile pua-
aling to us benighted heathens of
japan, wno nave earned ine reapti t
' of those who profess to follow Ihe
precetof Chrl t on tbe Mount bj '
success in slaughtering our enemies
tnd by that alone. Will real Christ
tans kindly explain what it all
meaus?
It Is apprehended that Jspan Is
rea(st' d uot because she is able toj
kill her enemies in battle, but i
au.se she has shown that she can.
-liccessfjlly defend herself in t only I
iu battle bul iu her i-oiutneri i.il inter I

Advocates of municipal uwnrrnliip
wiio have been looking to Bostou lor
a vindication of their theories may

ly au iu vest igntion that lias Just been
made by Mayor Hurt. His prede
ceasor, Mayor Jottiah Quincy, it will
i hi renumbered, stirred up wide
spread comment alsjut two years ago
y establishing a municipal cartieiiler
.ml repair department, a municipal
ice-plant, and various oilier depart
ments for doing work previously
doue by private concerns under con
tracts. "Tlie city," says Mr. Guild
.V. oopeland, writing in Harper's
Weekly, "was to save tiie money
heretofore paid in middlemen's or
corporal!. ins' profits, and was not to
allow greedy contractor lo wring
dishonest profits from Ihe municipal
treasury, Tbe painful announcement
that Ihe whole eclieuie is now dis
credited arid is a subject for Hpulnr
ridicule may cause some sorrow
among those municipal statesmen
elsewhere who have been so strongly
on the side of 'municipal ownership'
ss a theory which might suve Amer
ican cities from present evils."
Mayor T. N. Halt, an old Boston
busineas man and banker, upou tak
ing office ou the first of last Januaryi
noticed that some of the city's ex
pense bills were rather large, and be
gan a quiet investigation, with the
result, says Mr. Coi-laud, "tliat one
alt-r another of these much-heralded
and much-lauded city bureaus has
been closed up, a hopelessly extrav
agant." Mr. Copeland q.ioti-s the
following tlgurce" from lliecUU'ineiil
of a sk lied workman who held a
high place iu one of Ihise bureaus."
"Reckoning up the coal of umt-rial
at Ihe current quotations, and the
probable curt of labor necessary to do
the work under the supervision ol
any reliable contractor or business
house In Boston, he found that a job
of electrical equipment ou tlie ferry
boats operated by the city should
have cost ti,8lN), As a mailer of
record, it actually coat 10,200. The
electrical work on a city buildii g for
hospital nurses should have cot
1,628. It really cost 11,754. The
work ou a cliy armory should have
cost less llian 12,600, but the city had
to pay nearly 6,700 for the jot
Some work on a public school, esti
mated as likely to cost 1,171 if doue
under contrat t, enct the city alauit
3,600.
"Meanwhile invertigations were
being pushed in other directions.
The city's ice plant made an inviting
Held. After the statistician had fin
ished figuring ou that public-spirited
enterprise, it was found that the ice
used by the Water Department in the
drinking fountains cost about itiO a
ton, w hen it might have been bo gbl
from the local ice companies for f2 or
Ail a ton. Orders were immediately
given to get rid of the ice-plant at
the Ix'st possible terms, lent the out
lay t bus ere ited might weaken Bus
ton's credit if tl.e plant should U1 iu
operation much longer. If a cus
tomer could have la en found for the
municipal printing plant that, too,
