The Kapublicantof the United SUtoa,
thronuh their chotwo rapraaautatiTea,
Diet tu national couTeution, looklug
ba. k opou aa nuanrpaaaad record of
achievement, and looking forward Into
a (treat Held of duty and opportunity
ud appealing to til judgment of their
eonntrymeu, maka thea dwlaratioua:
The eipecration In whioh the Ameri
can people, turning from the Democratio
party, lutraatod power four yeara a (TO to
a Republican chief nia fiat rate snd a
Repnblioau rouirniKa. has been met aud
aatirdied. When the people then aa
Bfrubled at the polls after a term of
Democratio ltfiilation and administra
tion, tmsiue was dead, lodnatry para
lyacd aud the national credit disastrous
ly impaired. The country's capital
waa bidden away aud its labor distress,
d aud unemployed. The Democrats
had no other plau with which to im
prove the ruiuoui eouditious whioh they
had themaelves produced thau to coin
silver at the ratio of 1 to 1.
fruaprlt Braught ttf Hapabllcane.
The Republican party deuonuoicg
this plau aa sura to produps eouditious
tveu worse thuD those from which re
liuf was aouijht, promised to reaUa-e
prosperity by means of two legislative
rueaures a protective tariff and a law
making gold the standard of value.
The people by great majorities isaued to
the Republican party a commiasion to
enact these laws. This commission baa
been executed and the Republican
promiae is redeemed. Prosperity more
geuural and more abundant than we
have ever known has followed these
enactments. There is no longer any
controversy as to the value of any gov.
ernmeut obligations. Every American
dollar la a gold dollar or its assured
equivalent, aud American credit stauds
higher than that of auy other nation.
Capital Is fully employed and every
where labor is profitably occupied.
No aiugle fact can more strikingly
tell the story of what Republican govern
ment meaus to the country than this
that while duriug the whole period from
18ol to 1897 there was an excena of ex
ports over imports of only $-!83,024,4y7,
then has twn in the short three years of
the preae tit Republican administration an
excess of export over iuirta ia the
enormous sum of $1,483,738,00!, aud
while the American people, austaiued
by this Republican legislution, have
been achieving these splendid triumphs
in their busiuess aud commerce, they
have conducted aud iu victory conclud
ed a war for liberty and human rights.
War fir US-rty Mat lralMai.at,
No thought of national aggrandise
ment tarnU'.ad the. high ourooa with
which American ataudards were on
furled. It waa a war unsought and
patieutly resisted, bnt when it came the
American government was ready. Its
fleets were oleared for action. Its arm
ies were in the field, and the quick and
signal triumph of Its forces on land and
sea bore equal tribute to the skill and
foresight of Republican statesmanship.
To 10,000,000 of the hnman race there
waa given "a new birth of freedom,"
and to the American people a new and
noble responsibility.
Ii4.manl f ralal MaKlalayv,
We Indorse the administration of
William McEinhiy. Its acts have been
established in wisdom and in patriot
ism, and at home and abroad it has dis
tinctly elevated and extended the influ
Sao of th American nation. Walk
ing untried ratlhi and facing unforeseen
responsibilities. President hf oKinley has
been in every situation the true Amen,
eaa patriot and upright statesman, clear
la vision, strong In judgment, firm in
action, always inspiring and deserving
the eonfldeuos of his countrymen.
In asking the Amerioaa people to In
dorse this Republican reoord and to re
new their oommission to th Republi
can party, we remind them of the faot
that the menace to their prosperity has
always resided in Demooratio principles
and no less in the general Inoapaoity of
the Dentorrallo party to conduct peblio
affair. The prim essential of buai
ness prosperity is publlo confidence in
th good seuse of the government and
iU ability to deal intelligently with all
new problems of administration and
legislation. That eonfidenoe the Demo
cratio party has never earned. It is
hopelessly inadequate, and the country's
prosperity, when Democratio auoaeas at
the polls is announced, halts and cease
in mere autisipatioa of Democratia
blunders and failures.
Dtliit' far tk I4 NlaaSara.
W renew our allegiauos to the prin
ciple of the gold standard, aud declare
our oonfldenco in the wisdom of the
legislation of ths Fifty-sixth congress
by which the parity of all our
money and the stability of our currency
oa a gold basis has been secured. We
recognize that interest rate are a po
tent factor in production and business
activity aud fur the purpose of further
equalising and of further lowering th
rates of interest we favor sooh mone
tary legislation as will enable the vary
ing needs or the season and of all seo-
tioas to be properly met in order that
trad mar be eveuly sustained, labor
steadily employed aud commerce en.
, kvged. The voluuis of money in air-
mlatiaa was nevr so great par capita
as It is today.
VTe declare our steadfast opposition
te ta free and unlimited eoiuago of
silver. No auearor to that end oould
be eoasidered which was without the
sap port of the leading ooaimerolal eoaa
tslee of the world. However firmly
Aepublicaa legislation may seem t
have secured the cnontry against the
parti of base aad duicreslited onrroney

We renew our faith in the policy of
protection to American labor. Iu that
policy onr industries have been estub
lished, diversifli d and maintained. Ey
protecting the home market, the oout
netitiou lnia lieen atimuhtted and pr
tluction cheiiuied. Oi'P-.rtunity the
inventiv.i genius of our people has been
ured Hint wages lu every depart

high rates, higher now than ever before,
thus dUting'iislrina our working people

joying the bli aniugs of Ameri.'itn com
mon schools, sorure in the right of self
government ami protected in the occu
paucy of tlieir owu markets their con
stantly im-reasing knowligu aud skill
have enabled them finally to enter the
markets of the world. We fivor the
associated policy of reciprocity, so di
rected as to open our markets on favor
able terms for what we do not ourselves
produce iu return for free foreign mar
kets. In the further Interests of American
workmen, we favor a more effective re
strictiou of the immigration of cheap
labor from foreign lands, the extension
of opportunities of education for work
lug children, the raising of the age
limit for child hibor, the protectiou of
free lubor as sgniust oonvict labor uud
an effective system of labor insurance.
Our present deieiHiouce on furei.iru
shipping for iiiue-tc utha of our foreigu
carrying is a great loss to tl.a iudusiry
of this country. It is n!-o u serious
danger to our trade l..r its -u l.l. u with
drawal in the event of a l'Jun..an war
would seriously cripple our expanding
foreigu oomiueree. The national de
fense aud uaval i-fTii i.-in y of this couu
try, moreover, supply a eojiiiielliiig rea
son for legislation which will euuble nt
to recover our former place among the
trade carrying fleets of the world.
Liberal t'vn.lua Laws Favored.
The nation owes a debt of profound
gratitude to the soldiers ami sailors who
have fought its battles, audit is t ho gov
ernment's duty to provide for the sur
vivors aud for the widows aud orphans
of those who have fallen in the coun
try's wars. The pension laws founded
in this just sentiment uliould bo 14'eral
aud should be liberally ndministered,
and preference should be given, wher
ever practicable, with reseot to em
ployment lu the publio service, to sol
diers aud sailors and to their widows
and ophans.
Bepufclleans aad thCtvll Service.
We commend the policy of the Re
publican party iu maintaining the efliui
ney of the civil service. The adminis
tration has acted wisely in its effort to
SMcuro for publio service in Cuba. Por
Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines only
those whoso fituds has been determin
ed by training arid experience. We be
lieve tbt employment In the publio
seivioe in these territories should be
eonflnol, as far aspraoticable, to their
Inhabitants.
It was the plaiu purpose of the Fif
teenth amendment to the constitution
to prevent discrimination on account of
race or oolor in regulating the elect. ve
franchise. Devices of states govern
ments, whether by statutory or consti
tution enactment, to avoid the pnr
ose ot this amendment 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
cord in I 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
froo delivery soryisce wherever its ex
tension may be justified.
Iteelamattua r Ar4 laiaSa,
In th further pursuance of the con
stant policy of the Republican party to
provide free home ou the publio do
main, w recommeud adequate nntioual
legislation to reclaim the arid lands of
the United States, reserving control of
the distribution of water fur Irrigation
to the respective states and territorioa.
W favor home rule for and the early
admission to statehood of the territories
of Nw alexico, Artxona aud Oklahoma.
War Taae aa4 Mlearaa Caaai.
Ta Dingley act, amended to pro
vide sufficient revenue for the conduct
f the war, has so well performed its
work thst it has been possible to reduce
th war debt in the sum of $10,000,000.
Bo ample are the government's revenues
aad so great is the public confidence in
th Integrity of Its obligations, that its
aswly fanded two per oent bonds sell
at a premium. The country Is now
jastined in expecting and it will bo the
policy of the Republican party to bring
about a reduction of the war taxes.
W favor the construction, owner
ship, eonfol and protection of an
isthmian eanal by th government of
the United States. New market are
necessary for th increasing surplus of
our fares products. Every effort should
b mad to pn and obtain new mar
kets, specially ia ths Orteut, and th
administration Is warmly to b eom
uicnded for its suooetsful effort to com
mit all trading and colouixiug nations
to th policy of the open door in China.
Depanaaeat af raaaairrae Savored.
In the. interact of our expanding com
merce we recommeud that congress ore
ate a department of commerce and in
dustries in the charge of a secretary,
with seat in the c.ibiuet. The United.
States consular sratum should be root
ranised under the supervision of this
new department upon euou a bosis of
appointment and tenure na will render
it still more serviceable to th nation's
increasing trail.
The American government must pro
tect the person and property of every
citizen wherever they are wrougfully
violated or placed in peril.
We oongratuUt lh-i women of Am
erica upon their splendid r.-o.d of pub
lio service iu the Volunteer aid associa
tion, aud ss nurse iu camp and hntpital
during the rervnt campugus of our
armies in th East-ru aud Westers
Indies, and wa appreciate their faithful
oo operation in ail works of education
and industry.
Th Prv.ldrnt'e Farelga relief Oeaa-
ended.
President M.K'.n'.iy ha conducted
Ins taaitai jsa of Jl yewd lUsjsw
with distinguished credit to the Ameri
can people. Iu releasing us from the
vexatious European alliance for the gov
erumeut of Samoa, his oourae Is especi
ally to be commended. By securing to
our undivided coutroi the most import
ant island of the Samoaa group, and
the best harbor in th southern Pacific,
very American interest has been safe
guarded. We approve tho annexation of tho
Hawaiian island to the United State.
We commend the part taken by oar
government in the peace oouferenoe at
The Hague. W assert our steadfast
adhureuu to the policy announced in
the Uouros doctriue.
Oa the Seats Afriraa War.
Th provisions of The Hague conven
tion were wisely regarded when Presi
dent McKiuley tendered his friendly
offices lu the interest of peace between
Ureat Briiaiu aud th South African
republics, w one the American govern
ment must ooutiuu the policy pre
scribed by Washington, affirmed by
very succeeding president, and lm
potied npuu us by The Hague treaty, of
non-intervention In European contro
versies, th American people earnestly
hope that a way may soon bo found,
honorable alike to both contending par
ties, to terminato the strife between
them.
In accepting by the treaty of Paris
the just responsibility of our victories
iu tho Spanish war, the president aud
the senate won the undoubted approval
of the American people. No other
course was possible than to destroy
Spaiu's sovereignty throughout ths
West Indies and in ths Philippines.
That oours created our responsibility
before the world and with the unorgan
ised population whom our intervention
had freed from Spain, to provid for
maintenance of law and order, aud for
the establishment of good government
and for the performance of international
obligations. Our authority could not
bo less tliau' our responsibility, aud
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 eivil.
iaatlon upon all the rescued peoples.
The largest measure of self-govern-nieut
oousistuut with their welfare aud
our duties shall be secured to them by
law. To Cuba, iu.lepeudeuce aud self
government were issued in the sams
voice by which war was declared and to
the letter this pledge shall be performed.
The Republican party, upon its his
tory and upon this declaration of its
principles and policies, confidently in

which its author framed it, ami
when passed denotim-cd by President
Cleveland as "a record of shame, enr-
ruirion and dishonor." Surely in
that periisl, when Mr. Hryau was in
congress ami in a xisiliiin to shape
legislation, man was not dislging his
in ister, the dollar, but, in waul, fain
me. starvation and sutloring, was out

Colonel Bryan s recent challenge
ti his Umaha auditors to produce
"an alsstract of title'' on which to
bsso this country's assertion of sover
eignly, in the Philippines is evoking
answers w hull the most partial ad
mirers of bis skill in ss tal pleading
will Ise curious to see Ii' in ous t. The
other ilay we calltsl att"tiliou to Hie
r.JoindtT contained iu ex Minister
Charies D.'tihy's opi-n letter, and Ihe
hint of irregularity and ittsulllcieni y
hidden in Colonel Bryan's pe'tifog
ging challenge at Omahit has w ithin
the week drawn response from two
authotities oil t rr t iritil title more
conspicuous and experienced than
Mr. Dcuhy, The first of them, ex-
Senator George K Kdmuud-, of Ver-
luiiut, long a moving spirit in the
sem-.tH coiiiiiiillts. ou foreign rela
tions, ardently opposed the ratifica
tion of the Paris Treaty, aul has
combat il from tie very Ix-giutiing
the policy of trailoceanic expan ion,
which has result d aiicti asively in
the acquisition of Hawaii, I'orto
Hico, Guam and tU Philippine.
The other witness is no less a person
than Ihe present chairman of the for
cign relations committee ( I the sen
ate, admittedly one of Ibe foremost
stitesuien lo whom Hie country looks
with reasoned contMence for guid
ance in the Ili'Ul of inlet iiaiional
poli I cs.
In the course of an interview a day
or two ago, in which he sharply
questioned Colonel Bryan's purwc,
if fid-led, 1 1 "throw over the Philip
pined," Mr. F.Tuiunds sii.l :
The Pliilippiue Islands belong t
(lie United Slabs liy all rules of in-
teruutioiial law; I hey am our-; .we
bought and pa.d lor llieoi, and the
inhabit-tnts of those islands are citi
zens or subjects ol the United Slates
just as surely as you aud 1 are. Aa
for throwing them over, as the dem-ix-ratic
pl.iif .riii propose, 1 mil. op
posed to any such proposition. II
we should do that I firmly believe
that within at most three years Hie
islands would lie in possession of
Knglanil, Germany or Spain, and I
should not like to see that.
Discussing the same gem ral ques
tion iu his spinach bi lore the Hamil
ton Club, of Chicago, on Wednesday,
and alluding especially to Colonel
Bryan's contention that American
control in tint Philippines hhould
rest, and ilia's virtually re-t, ou the
same basis as American coutroi in
Cuba, Senator Davis declared with
iHcouic vigor :
We never had sovereignty over
Cuba. We have sovereignty over
the Philippines. When we invaded
Ihe Philippines the natives were not
in arms. We never piomised to give
them iiitlciM'iiiic nee. We made no
such promise either in Porto Hico.
Our tit e to Porto Ku-o aud the Phil
ippines rel umiii the same incon
testable basis, and yet I have nol
heard that even the democracy pur
posa or wishes to erect I'orto H co
into an iiiili a'ndeiit slate.
Much answers, of course, contain no
new or startling iha-irine. Till he
made his acceptance ssssb nt In
dianapolis it had probably never oc
curred f Colonel Bryan seriously to
(pieation the transfers of sovereignty
HKOinpli-hed in Ihe treaty of 'ace
with Spain. Till he started on 1, is
Topeka trip he had apparently ii.it
fillen to that pitiful level of subter
fuge which led bi n lo ile-crilsj the
conversion ef a remnant of govern
ment bullion In Id In the treasury in
lo silver dollars as free coinage tit Hie
ratio of 16 lo 1, or to ridicule as ini-1-ossible
an "abstract of title" by Ibe
terms of which several millions of
Spain's former stibji-i ts Could acquire
sn, as yet, undefined alhgiance to
the Uuiled Slates. To cmpha-Ize old
truths may ls tedious and irksome
but even the most familiar truisms
take on a new freshness and signifi
cance when summoned to disprove
Hie reckless sophistries of a master of
catchy phtases and empty parade.
