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

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.

patiently rousted, but when it came the
American government was ready. Its

To 10,000.000 of tha human race thara

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

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

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

Tha Diugley set, amended to pro
vide sufficient revenue for the conduct

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

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

Violated or placed In peril.
We congratulate the women of Am

President M -Kiuiey bas conducted
Aha foreign arUus of the Vetted $
, with distinguished credit to the Amsri.
cau people. 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

Sugar, indigo and cotton are culti-

The mulberry tree grows i very w here.
There are .rot Ion mills at Shanghai

All of tilt eighteen provinces contaii
coal and China may be regarded r
one of the first coal countries In tin
'torld. Iron ores are abundant ami
copier is plentiful In certain districts.
The colli men ial intercourse of Chine
is ijiiito considerable, trade belli);
cirried on with the principal conn-
t ieg of Ihe warld, including the
United Kingdom, Uermany, France,
Russia and the United Stulvs. Tin
gre: t source of revenue for the prov

U'llil February, 1898, no foreigner
could travel in the Kir l re except at
certain designated (mints, usually the
treaty porta, but since that lime alt
oreigncrs who have passports, may
visit any part of (he Empire on pleas
ure or business. The mads in Chiua
ire poor and only a few are pa veil,
and for this reason the greater part ol
trade is carried on by means of nu
merous canals and other waterways
The country is irrigated by great
rivers, and intersected by a system ol
canals which is more than six nun-
I red years old. The canals are badly
managed and are iu a slate nf decay.
L as llian five hundred miles of
rail M ay have been constructed in
China but a very complicated system
ha been pr jected, aud government
concessions have tieen given for Ihe
put pose. It la likely that as soon as
the preseut, trouble in .China is ad-
Justed, lhal this country will be the
scene of great activity In railway
'Miilding. In all, concessions have
beeu given for 7,600 miles of railway.
rhis will include connections with
(he Chinese Kistern Railway, the
railways lo Shanghai, Hankow, Can
ton and Maodalay. Aa the country
is 3, 500 miles long from north to
south, possessing) a varied iclimale,
productive soil, ami great natural re
source, it will lie seen that there is a
vat-t Held for enterprise in railway
building, and European countries

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. There are al o many private

ers, representing various denomina

Committee. They have' held con
ventions in eleven states and prov

(iambling is a wean vice. 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.
