The Republican party deuounciaa

even worse than those from which re
lief wax aouttht, promiaed to reatora
proniverity by mean of two legUlatiee
tneuKiirus a protective tariff and a law
making gold the atandard of value.
Toe people by great lnftjoritiea itaned to
the Republican party a cominiaion to
enact theae law. Thii commiaidon haa
been executed and tha Republican
premie ia redeemed. Prosperity more
geueral aud more abundant than we
have ever known haa followed theae
enactment. There la no longer any
controversy as to tha value of any gov
ernment ob igationa. Every American
dollar I a gold dollar or it aarared
equivalent, aud American credit stand
hinher than that of any other nation.
Capital ia fully employed and every
where labor la profitably occupied.
No single fact can more atriklngly
tell the atory of what Republican govern
ment mcaua to the country than thi
that vhilftriuring the whole period from
1801 to 1897 there waa an exceaa of ex

enormous sum of 11,483, 738,094, and
while the American people, sustained
by this Republican legislation, have
been achieving theae splendid triumph
in tlieir business and commerce, they
have conducted and in victory conclud
ed a war for liberty aud human right.

American government waa ready, Ita

signal trinniph of It forces ou land and
sea bore equal tribute to the skill and
foresight of Republican statesmanship.
To 10,000,000 of tha human raoe thara
was given "a new birth of freedom,"
and to the American people a new and
noble responsibility.
Indartamant of Fraaleaat MeKlalay.
We Indorse the administration of
William MoKinley. Ita acta have been
established in wisdom and In patriot

renponalbilities, President MoKinley haa
been in every situation the true Ameri
can patriot aud upright statesman, clear
In vision, strong in judgment, firm la
action, alwaya inspiring and deserving
the confidence of his countrymen.
In ahklng the American people to la
dorse this Republican record and to re
new their oommlaaion to tha Republi
can party, we remind them of tha fact
that the menace to their pros parity haa
always resid.nl la Democratio principles
and no less in tha general Incapacity of
the Democrat io party to conduct public

Declaration for tha Gold Htaatar.
We renew our ulleglanoe to the prin
ciple of the gold standard, and declare
our confidence in the wisdom of the
legislation of the Fifty-sixth oongreaa
by which the parity of all our
money and the stability of our currency
on a gold basis haa been secured. We
recognize that interest rates are a po
tent faetor in production and bojdneaa
activity and for the purpose of further
equalising and of further lowering the
rates of interest we favor such mone
tary legislation aa will enable the vary,
ing needs of the seaaou and of all see
tioas to be properly met in order that
trade mar be evenly sustained, labor
steadily employed and commerce an
larired. The volume of money la eir
enlalien waa never so great per capita
as It ia today.
W declare our steadfast opposition
to the free and unlimited coinage of
silver. No niea'ure to that end oonld
be oansidered which was without the

We renew our faith In the policy of
protection to Amen can labor, lit that
policy our iudustriea have been estab
lished, diversified and maintained. By
protecting the home market, the Com
petition has been stimulated and pro
duction cheapened. Opportunity the
inventive geuius of our people baa been,
secured and wages iu every depart
ment of lubor have been maintained at
high rates, higher now than ever before,
thus distinguishing our working people
iu their better conditions of Ufa from
tboMa of any competing country. En

mon achoola, aeon re iu the right of self
goverainent aud protected iu the occu
pancy of their own markets their con
stantly Increasing knowlege aud skill
have enabled them finally to enter the
markets of the world. We favor the
associated policy of reciprocity, so di
rected as to open our markets on favor
able terms for what we do not ourselves
prod lies in return for free foreign mar
keta. Ia the further interests of American
workmen, we favor a more effective re
striction of the immigration of cheap
labor from foreign lauds, the extension
of opportunities of ednoatiou for work
ing children, the railing of the age
limit for child labor, tiie protection cf
free labor aa against oonvict labor and
an effective system of labor iuNurauoe.
Our present dependence on foreign
shipping for nine tenths of onr foreign

of this country. It is also a serious
danger to our trade for its t-u.hlen with
drawal In the event of a Enropean war
wonld seriously cripple our expanding
foreign commerce. The national de
fense and naval efficiency of this oouu
try, moreover, supply a coin lulling rea
son for legislation which will enable us
to recover our former place among the
trade carrying fleers of the world.
Liberal peniloa Lava Favored.
The nation owe a debt of profound
gratitude to the soldiers and sailors who
have fought Its battles, and It ia the gov-
ernment's duty to provide for the sur
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 sentiment should be liberal
and should be liberally administered,
and preference should be given, wher
ever practicable, with respeot to em
ploy men t in the publio service, to sol-
diera aud sailor aud to their widows
and ophans.
Beulleaa aad tb Civil Service.
We commend the policy of the Re
publican party in maintaining the efllcl-
enoy of the oivil service. The adminis
tration haa acted wisely in its effort to
secure for publio service in Cuba, Porto
Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines only
those whose fituosa haa beeu determin
ed by training and experience. Wa 1k
lieve that employment ia the publio
service in theae territories should be
oonflued, aa far aa practicable, to their
Inhabitants.
It waa the plain purpose of the Fif
teenth amendment to the constitution
to prevent discrimination ou account of
raco or color in regulating the elective
franchise. Devices of statea govern
ments, whether by statutory or oonsti
tutlonl enactment, to avoid the pur
nose oi this amendment are revolution
ary aud should be coudemned.
Publio movements looking to a per.
manent improvement of the roads and
highways of the country meet with our
cordial approval, and we recommend
this subject to the earnest consideration
of the people and of the legislatures of
the several states.
We favor the extension of the rural
(roe delivery aerrisce wherever ita ex
tension may be justified.
teelanatlea ef And Laada.
Ia the further pursuance of the con
stant policy of the Republican party to
provide free homes on the publio do
main, wo recommend adequate national
legislation to reclaim the arid land of
the United Statea, reserving control of
the distribution of water for irrigation
to the respective states and territories.
Wa favor home rule for and the early
admission to statehood of the territories
of aVsw Hexloo, Arizona and Oklahoma
Tha Dingley act, amended to pro
Vale anffioient revenue for the conduct
ef tha war, haa ao well performed iu
work that it haa been possible to reduoe
tha war debt In the sum of $40,000,000.
Bo ample are the government's revenues
aad ao great ia the publio ooufldenoe in
tha integrity of its obligations, that iu
newly fended two per oent bonds sell
at a premium. The country Is now
jastited la expecting and it wi'l be the
policy of the Republican party to bring
about a reduotion of the war taxes.
Wa favor the construction, owner
ship, control and protection of an
isthmian canal by the government of
the United States. New market are
aeoeeaary for the increasing surplus of
our farm products. Every effort should
be made to epea and obtain new mar

administration la warmly to be Com

Oeaanaaeat ef Ceasaaeree Favored.
In the Interest of our expanding com
merce we recommend that congress ore
ate a department of commerce and in
dustries in the charge of a secretary,
with a seat in the cabinet. The United
States eoosnlar system should be reor
ganised under the anpenrisioa of this
new department upon snob a bad of

it itill wore aervioeabla to the nation'
Increasing trade.
The American government must pro.

violated or placed in peril.

Treateaeal ef the rhlllpsdaee.
In accepting by the treaty of Parte
the jnat responsibility of our victories
in the Spanish war, the president and
the senate won the audoubted approval
of the American people. No other
course waa possible than to destroy
Spain's sovereignty throughout tha
West Indies aud in the Philippine,
That course created our responsibility
before the world and with the unorgan
ized population whom onr Intervention
bad 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, Onr authority could not

The grittiest lieu in America lives

as Mis. Roosevelt ssys, not only a

iu Ihe corner of the separator sat the
itrenuous hen. Uuder her was a

The surest and la-i-t answer to the
charge of imperialism wbich ha-
been made against the administra
tion by cert a n timorous souls and
by a wofully misled party is to be
found iu the policy of Mr. McKinley
aud his cabinet in the matter of
China. True or untrue, the news
that has come to us in the past
month of the doings in Asia
has been such that ordinarily
sane and usually conservative minds
are filled with rage against the of
fenders. It is I ui possible for any
man with blotaj in hit veins to sit
quiet aud to accept with equanimity
the story of slaughter at Peking,
comprising as it da?s the possibility
of outrage upon women aud the tor
ture of children. Any nation that
hould chiMjae to pour its forces into
he Chinese Empire for the purwwe
of visiting summary vengeance upon
the per-ttalors of the crime would
not be lacking in justification, and a
simon-pnre imperialist, such as Mr.
McKinley Is alleged by his enemies
to be, would undoubtedly by this
time have set the wheels to moving
for a war of revenge and conquest.
The wise and conservative attitude of
the administration from first to last
in this crisis is Ihe mont convincing
evidence that the cry of imperialism,
or as some of them now have it, mil
itarism, is vain ami empty. Oregon

MILliAKT NTKHMiTII AMI SPIRIT,
The presei.t stale of public senti
ment in this country is worth noting
in coonei tion with the prophecim

quences sure io follow expansion, the
strengthening of our military power
and any participation in the affairs of
the world at large. It was argued
that the mere possesion of a strong
navy. Increase in the siao of our
army, or thrwd i f war, would devel
op In us a spirit of truculence, reck

tience lo fight. It was represented

! blood
to rush thr ugh the world, scattering
i terror and timfusiou on every aide.
Startling iu coulrast wilti these
direful predict! ins is oui present atti-
lude. Nobody wants war Iu China
if lt can m s-dhly Is- avoi led, and the
policy of our govt rtilncnt, which has
beeu conspicuous for its moderation,
tact and forboarauce, has commanded
universal approval at every step. Our
action has kept aud will keep well
within the limits of fie legitimste
enforcement of our rights and pr 'lec
tion of the lives of our cili.-ns. Our
navy, far from prct'piti-.t ug us into
diflii'ullies In its eagerness lo seix-i an
opportunity to tight, has given a
noble example of cool headed ness and
self restraint. Our admiral in com
mand has deserved aud won the
praise of the civilizd world for his
wise discretion. Kempif aud McCalla
are men of whom every American is
to-day proud to call himself a fellow
countryman. Far Iroiu sli ming a
quarrelsome touch iness lu re our
nutioual honor is involved, our arms,
our government and our gr.-af eople
have with one accord desired that we
mi, I t avoid uniioco-sary diilL-ultice
and escape, if possible, the terrible
eonsiquences of war.
No one can honestly pretend that
events have Justified the fi .r that the
war witli Spain or iu the Philippines,
or the possession of a navy adequate
to the defence of our interests, would
spread abroad among us the dread
contagion of the military spirit. As
a matter of fact, the iff.-ct of the
actual experience of war lias been a
sols-ring one. We will not permit
our rights to lie trampled ou, or our
citizens lo be massaend, or the sane
tity of our legation to lie violnfd.
We will enforce order aud respect for
our dig wherever it is attacked. Hut
we have not la-come a imtiou ul
swasli bucklers and rufliitus by arm
ing ourselves iu a righteous cnuse.

"1 cannot," says a third ticket ad
vocate, "veto for McKinley. I surely
cannot , vula-lur .Bryan. 1 wish lo
vote wiih self respect. We

the parly will no longer maintain

third ticket put into the Held.
But wh? lt would really not be
a third ticket. It would be, if we
have kept tally aright, the eleveuth.
If this voter wishes to vote for an
impossible candidate, if by throwing
away his vote at a time when his
vote is needed for the welfare of his
country he can preserve his self-respect,
what's the matter with voting
for Dcba? Or Woolley? Or Swal
low? Or Barker? Or any other of
the miscellaneous group? There is
a floe and varied assortment of candi
dates lo choose Irom. It is not "You
pays your money and you tikes your
choice," but "You picks your candi
date and you throws away your
vote."
The gist of the citizen's preach
ment, however, is iu the pious hope
which he express's that the purty
meaning the "anti ImiM-rialisls''
"wilt ho longer maintain the appear
ance of an old woman throwing
eggs." Note Ihe "oo longer." Are
we totiniler-tand from this citiz-n of
Concord, Mass , that Messrs. Gama

Garrison have collectively beeu act
ing, or appearing, like an old woman
