In asking tbe A in en oan peopl to In
dorse this Republican record and to re
new their ooihnilasion to the Republi

that ths menace to their prosperity has
always resia. u in Deinocratio principles
and no leas in the general incapacity of
the Democratic party to conduct public
auairs. i ne prima essential of busi
ness prosperity is publio oonudeno in
the good senae of the government and

We renew onr allegiauo to the prin
ciple of the gold standard, and declare
our confidence in the wisdom of th
legislation of the Fifty sixth congress
by which the parity of all our
money aud the stability of our currency
on a gold ba.iis has been secured. Ws
recognizo that interest rate ara a po
tent factor in production and business
activity aud for tbe purpose of further
equalising and of further lowering the

associated policy of reciprocity, so di
rected as to opeu our markets on favor
able term for what we do not ourselves

kets. , In th further Interests of American
workmen, we favor a more effective re
striction of the immigration of cheap
labor from foreign lauds, the exteusiou
of opportunities of education for work'
ing cnuareu, the raising of ths sge
limit for child labor, the protection of
free labor ss sgaiust convict labor and
an affective system of labor insurance.
Onr present dependence on fiffcign
shipping for uine-tenths of onr foreign

of this country. It is also a serious
danger to our trade tor its mi 1. leu with
drawal in the event of a Euioiean war
would seriously cripple our expanding
foreign oomuiercu. The uutional de
fense and naval ettlciein y of this coun
try, moreover, supply a uoiniielling rea
son for legislation which will enable us
to recover our former place among ths
trade carrying Meets uf the world.
Liberal f.a.loo La.. avur.d.
The nation owes a debt of profound
gratitude to the soldiers and sailors who
have fought its buttles, nud it is thegoV'
eminent' duty to provide for the sur
vivors and for the widows aud orphans
of those who have fallen iu the coun
try's wars. The peusinu laws founded
In this just seiitiineut should be lnVcral
and should be liberally administered,
ani preference should be given, wher
ever practicable, with respect to em
ployment in th publio service, to sol
dier and sailor and to their widows
snd ophana.
Bepenlleaas and the Civil Ssrvlea.
W eommeud the policy of the Re
publican party iu maintaining ths etilci-
snoy of ths civil service. The adminis
tration bas acted wisely in its eff of. to
secure for publio service iu Cuba, Porta
Rico, Hawaii aud the Philippines only
those whose fttuea has been determin
ed by training aud experience. XV be
lieve that employment iu ths publio
aervio iu these territories should be
confined, as far as practicable, to their
Inhabitants.
It waa the plain purpose of th Fif-
saentb amendment to the constitution
to preveut disoriminatiou ou account of
race or color in regulating tbs elective
franchise. Devices of states govern-
nents, whether by statutory or consti
tutional euaotmeut, to avoid the pur-
oae of this ainaudineut ara revolution
ary and should tie condemned.
Publio movements looking to a per
manent improvement of the roads and
highways of the country meet with our
onrdiul ap.roval, and we recommend
ihia subject to the earnest consideration
of the people aud of the legislatures of
the Several states.
We favor th extension of th rural
tree delivery servisc wherever Its ex
tension may be justified.
BWalaiuatioa af Aria Leads.
In th further purauancs of th con
stant policy of the Republican party to
provide xree Dome on th publio do
main, we recommend adequate national
legislation to reclaim tbs arid land of
Iha United States, reserving oontrol of
the distribution of water for irrigation
to th respective state and territories.
W favor home rale for and tbs earl
admission to statehood of ths territories
f Kew Mexico, Arisonaand Oklahoma.
WavTaaea and Nlearacaa CaaeL,
The Dingley act, amended to nro-
vtds auffioieot revenue for the conduct
af tbe war, ha so well performed Its
work that It has been possible to rednoe
the war debt In the ram of 1-40.000.000.
8o ample are tbe government's revenues
and so great is th publio confldnnos in
the Integrity of Its obligation, that iu
aswly faaded two per cent boud sell
at a premium. Tbe country is now
justified in expecting and it will be the
policy of the Republican party to bring
about a reduction of the war taxes.
We favor the construction, owner
ship, control and protection of an
isthmian canal by the government of
tbs United Btetes. New markets are
aeoseaary for th increasing surplus of
our farm produota. Every effort should
be made to epen and obtain new mar
kets, especially in the Orient, and th
administration Is warmly to be com
mended for ite suooessf ul effort to com
mit all trading and colonizing nations
to tbe ptuiay of the open door iu China.

"I myself, in my humble way, did

was brought lo naught by the act ion
taken by Mr. Bryan, au action taken
against the remonstrance of (lie
wisest leaders iu his own parly.
"He la uol to get thereward of his
