Following la tha foB text of the platform adopted by tha Re publican Notional cunveutloo I The Uepublicansuf the United Stataa, thronuh their cbuaen repreeexitatirea, met in ifktional eouveutioo, looking back ddou an auanrpaaaiid reoord of achievement, and looking forward Into a arrat Held of duty and opportunity and appeallnK to the judgment of their eounlryiiit-n, make tbeae declaratioDa: The expeciation In which the Ameri can people, turning from the Deiuucratio party, iutruated power four yeara aro to a Republioan chief tuafiatrate and a Repubbcau ronKrea, ha been met and aatiKfled. W'heu the people theu aa aeuibled at the polla af tor a term of Deluocrutio leKiHlatlou and admimatra tiou, busine was dead. Industry para lyai d aud the national credit diaaatroaa ly inipnired. The country's capital wan lii'Meu away and iu labor distraa Kl and unemployed. The Democrats had uo other plan with which to im prove the ruinous conditions which they had themselves produced thau to ouin silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. FroaiM-rlty Itreuaat By Btapabllcaaa, The Rip' blicnu party deuoundna this plan aa sure to produce conditions even worae thaiv thoae from which re lii f was sought, prom i nod to restore pnmpenty by means of two legialatiye meaaurea a protective tariff and a law making gold the standard of value. The people by great majorities issued to the Republican party a commission to enact these laws. This commission has been executed and the Republican Bromide is redeemed. Prosperity more general anil more abundant than wa have ever kuown has followed these euactmeuts. There U no longer any controversy as to the value of any gov. eminent obligations. Kvery American dollar la a gold dollar or its assured equivalent, and American credit stands higher than that of any other nation. Capital is fully employed aud every where lubor la profitably occupied. No single fact can more strikingly tell the story of what Republican govern ment means to the couutry than this that while during the whole period from 1801 to 1897 there was an excess of ex ports over imports of only $88,024,4U7, there has been iu the short three years of the prevent Republican administration an excess of exports over imports in the euoriuons sum of $1,483,738,094, and whilo the American jwople, sustained by this Republican legialation, have been achieving these splendid triumphs in tlielr buaiueas aud commerce, they have conducted aud in victory oouclud ed a war for liberty aud huinau right. War for Llb-rtji Not Agt-raaalaa-aeaB. No thonp'it ot national aggrandise. meet turul'ed the hi-k oorDose wi'h which American staudarU wore no furled. It was a war nusougbt and patiently rousted, but when it came the American government was ready. Its fleets were cleared for action. Its arm. ies were in the field, and the quiok and signal triumph of its forces on land and Sea bore equal tribute to the skill aud foresight of Republican a ta team an ship. To 10,000.000 of tha human race thara was given "a new birth of freedom," and to the American people a new and noble responsibility. ladoraa-neat ef Preelaeat MeKlaley. We indorse the administration of William McKinley. Its acts have been established in wisdom and In patriot ism, aud at borne and abroad it has dis tinctly elevated and extended the influ ence of the American nation. Walk ing untried paths and facing unforeseen responsibilities. President AfoKinley has been in every situation the true Ameri can patriot and upright statesman, clear la vision, strong in judgment, firm In action, always inspiring sod deserving the confidence of his oountrymen. In aaking the American people to In dorse this Republioan reoord and to re new their oommiaaion to tha Republi can party, we remind them of the fact that the menace to their prosperity has always resided in Democratic principles and uo leas in the general incapacity of the Democratic party to conduct public affaire. The prima essential of busi ness prosperity is publio confidence la the god seuae of the government and Its ability to deal intelligently with all new problems sf administration and legislation. That eonfldeaoe the Demo cratic party has never earned. It la hopelessly inadequate, and the country's prosperity, when Democratic auooees at the polls is an nounced, halts aad roams in mere autiaipation of Democrats blunders and failures. Dealaratiea for the Gold Btaa4ar4. We renew onr alleglauoe to the prin ciple of the gold standard, and declare onr confidence in the wisdom of the legislation of the Fifty-sixth oongreas by which the parity of all onr money and the stability of our currency on a gold baais bus been secured. Wa recognize that Interest rates are a po tent fm tor in production and baslueae activity and for the purpose of farther equalising and of further lowering the rates of iutereit we favor such moue tary legialation aa will euable the vary ing needs ot the season and of all see tioaa lo be properly met In order that trade may be evenly sustained. Labor steadily employed aud commerce en larged. The volume of money In eir ealaties was l ever so great par capita as It is today. We declare our steadfast opposition to the free and oaliiuited coinage of silver. Ho measure to that end would be considered which was without the sap port of the leading oomnieroial oona tries ef the world.

Laborers aud all Who ara sugaged in industry and com BUeroa, Veolaretloa for Prolerllea. We renew onr faith In the policy of protection to American labor. In that policy our industries have been estab lished, diversified and maintained. By protecting the home market, the com petition has beeu stimulated aud pro duction cheapened. Opportunity the Inventive genius of our people has been secured aud wages iu every depart ment of labor have been maintained at high rates, higher now than ever before, thus distiimuisliiiig our working people iu their better conditions of life from those of any computing country. En joying the blessings of American com mon schools, secure in the right of self government end protected in the occrt pancy of their owu markets their con stantly Increasing knowlegw and skill have enabled them finally to enter the markets of the world. We favor the associated policy of reciprocity, so di rected ss to open our markets on favor able terms for what we do uot ourselves produce iu return for free foreign markets. In the further interests of American workmen, we favor a more effective re striction of the immigration of chesp labor from foreign lauds, the extension of opportunities of education for work log cnudreu, the raising of the age limit for child labor, the protection of free labor aa against convict labor and an effective system of labor insurance, Our present dependence on foreign shipping for nine tenths of onr foroigu carrying is a great losi to the industry or this country. It is olso a serious danger to our trade lor its tuildtn with draws! in the event of a European war would seriously cripple our expanding foreign commerce. The national de fense and naval efficiency of this coun try, moreover, supply a compelling rea son for legislation which will enable as toi-eoover our former place among the trade carrying fleets of tha world. Liberal Peaaloa Laws favored. The nation owes a debt of profound gratitude to the soldiers and sailors who have fought its battles, aud it is the gov ernment's duty to provide for the sup vivors and for the widows and orphans of those who have fallen in the coun try's wars. The pension laws founded In this just aeutimeut should be literal aud should be liberally administered, and preference should be giveu, wher ever practicable, with respect to em ploymeut in the publio service, to sol. diers and sailors aud to their widows and ophans. Bepublleaae aad tha Civil Sarvlee. Ws commend the policy of the Ro. publican party in maintaining the etiic enoy of the civil service. The adminis tration has acted wisely in its effort to secure for public service iu Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines only those whose fltudss has beeu determin ed by training aud experience. We be lieve thut employment in the publio service in these territories should be sonflned, as far ss practicable, to, their inhabitants. It Was the plain purpose of the Fif teenth amendment to the cousti'uti.-n to prevent discrimination ou account of race or Color in regulating the elective franchise. Devices of states govern ments, whether by statutory or oonati tutioual enactment, to svoid the pur aose of this amendment are revolution ary aud should be condemned. Public movements looking to a per manent improvement of the roads and highways of the couutry meet with onr eonlial approval, and we recommend this subject to the earnest consideration of the people aud of the legislatures of the several slates. We favor the extension of the rural free delivery servisce wherever its ex tension may be justified. KUelaiaatlaa af Aw.4 Laada, ' In the further pursuance of the con stant policy of the Republican party to provide free homes on the publio do main, ws recommend adequate national legialation to reclaim the arid lands of tha United States, reserving control of the distribution of water for irrigation la tha respective states and territories. Ws favor home rule for and the early admission to statehood of the territories Of New Msxico, Arisonaand Oklahoma. War Taaae aad Klearac-aa CaaaL Tha Diugley set, amended to pro vide sufficient revenue for the conduct ef tha war, has so well performed its work that it has been possible to rednoe tha war debt in the sum of 140,000,000. So ample are the government's revenues aad so great is the public confidence in the) Integrity of iu obligations, that its aswly funded two per oent bonds sell at a premium. Tha country is now Justified in expecting and it will be the policy af the Republican party to bring about a red notion of the war taxes. Wa favor the construction, owner ship, eootrol and protection of an isthmian aanal by the government of the United Btntes. New markets are necessary for the Increasing surplus of our lam products. Kvery effort should be mads to epea snd obtain new mar kets, especially in the Orient, and the administration is warmly to be com manded for its suooesaful effort to com mit all trading and colonising nations to the poliey of the open door iu China. Daperiaaeal af Ceaaaaeree Favorad- In the interest of our expanding com merce we recommend that congress cre ate a department of commerce and in dustries in ths charge of a secretary, with a seat In the eabiner. The United States consular system should be reor ganised nnder the supervision of this new department upon such a basis of appointment aud tenure as will render it still more serviceable to the nation's Increasing trade. The American government most pro tect the person and property of every citiaen wherever they are wrongfully Violated or placed In peril. We congratulate the women of Am erica Boon their splendid reoord of pub lic service iu the Volunteer aid associa tion, snd as nurses in camp and hospital during the recent campaigns of our erniiee in the Eastern aud Weatera Indies, and we appreciate their faithful co opera tnm iu ail Works of education and Industry.

In releatiug ns from ths Vexatious Europeau alliance for tha gov ernment of featuoa, his course is esped . ally to be commended. By securing to i our undivided control the most import ant island of the Kamoaa group, and I the best harbor in the southern Pacific, every American interest has been safe guarded. We approve tha annexation of tha Hawaiian islands to the United States. We commend the part taken by our government in the peace conference at The Hague. We assert our steadfast adherence to the policy announced la the Alouroe doctrine. Oa the Bewta ACrlraa War. The provisions of The Hague conven tion were wisely regarded when Presi dent McKiuley tendered his friendly onices in the interest of pesos between Great Britain and ths South African repuoiics. w mis the American govern ment must contiuus the polioy pre scribed by Washington, affirmed by every succeeding president, and lm' posed apou as by The Hague treaty, of non-intervention in European contro versies, ths Amerioaa people earnestly hope that a way may soon be found, honorable alike to both contending par ties.' to terminate ths atrifs between them. Treataaaat at the Phlllpalaaa. In accepting by the treaty ot Paris the just responsibility of our victories in the Spanish war, the president and tha senate won the undoubted approval of ths American people. No other course was possible than to destroy Spain's sovereignty throughout tha West Indies snd in the Philippines. That' course created onr responsibility before the world and with the unorgan ised population whom our Intervention had freed from Spain, to provide for maintenance of law and order, aad for the establishment of good government and for the performance of international obligations. Onr authority could not be less than oar responsibility, and wherever sovereign rights 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 civil ization upon all the rescued peoples. The largest measure of self-govern ment ooumstant with their welfare and our duties shall be secured to them by law. To Cuba, independence and self- government were issued iu the same voice by which war was declared and to the letter this pledge shall be performed, The Republican party, upon its his lory and upon this declaration of its principles aud policies, confidently in vokes the considerate aud approving judguieut of the American people, ALL ABOUT TALI FORM A. .- (Jnlifori.ia la the natural paradi-ei f the holy maker.

All the principal cities of the Km- p're have telegraph service. An arrangement was made with the Russian telegraph authorities in 181)2 by which communication was estab lished bet ween Peking ami K'iroM. The apparatus and methods used in telegraphing in China are of the inoct primitive description. The Chi nose have no alphalat, but each word has a sign. Iu order to tele graph them, each sign lias to la? numbered, and (he number lit sent by wire. The receiving clerk refers lo his tables and translates the num ber into the Chinese signs. The tables resemble logarithm tables, the signs being printed in vertical col umns and each column containing 20 signs, and s there are 10 columns, there are -00 signs, and as there are in columns, there are 200 signs to the page. There are 4a pagenjto the complete book, consequently I here are 8,800 numbered signs, r.ach square coi.ttius a sign for a word. The aender must write his message in Chinese on a blank form; this is then converted Into numbers, and they are telegraphed. The average length of the words is four letters, hut the words frequently run to ten or twelve letter. The pos.al ys(em of the Kmpire is still in a primitive condition. It Is carried on under (he direction of Ihe .Minister of war, by means of posl carts and runners. There are 8,000 offices, for poet carls in (he elgl t"cn provinces, and th re are 2,040 offices for runners w a bred oyer the Km pire.

Kveu a technically honest gambler cam ot succeed without some moral deterior alion, since the motlvo of even an honest gambler bas its root, not in a simple desire for amusement, excite ment and recreation, tint detes back to the sordid, greedy, grasping side of human nature. Kvery professional dishonest gambler would berome'a professional thief if he did not know that It is more dangerous under law to pick your pocket than lo rob you by fraud at cards or dice. Gambling is a more dangerous social evil than the drink habit, because It is a sin ol the spirit rather than a sin of the blood, ami is therefore less curable and more soul-dotroying. Gam bling is married t cupidity, and Is a vice more difficult to cute than in- teiii(iersnce, which has no relation to cupidity. Gambling in all its forms fascinates all marihind, from the top to the bottom of socit ty, because il in Dimes their cupidity, their eagei desire to get something lor nothing. The vice of gambling soon becomes a moral lame disease, while inf'tniHr anre is comparatively a skin disea-e.
