The Kepoblioaoiof tha United Bute.
throoKh their choean repr antativee.
net ta oational conveution, looktnK
back apom aa ononrpaaaad reoord of
achievement, and looking forward Into
a (neat Bald of dnty and opportunity
and appealing to tha judgment of their
countrymen, mak thee declaration:
Tha expectation In whloh tha Aineri
can pejle. tnmlEf from tha DtmctTatio
party, iutrnated power four yearn ago to
a Repnblioan chief mitfistrata and a
Republican conKraaa, ha been met and
atihflod. When th peopla then aa
aembled at the poll after a term of
Democrat io legislation and administra
tion, bnaine a waa dead, tnd ni try para
lysed and the national credit disastrous
ly impaired. Th country' capital
waa hidden away aud its labor distreaa-
d and unemployed. Th Democrats
had no other plan with which to im.
prove th miaous conditions which they
had themselves prod need than to coin
surer at the ratio of li to t.
rreapertt? Breath! By Beeablleeaa.
The Republican party denouncing
this plan as sura to prodno conditions
even worse thau those from which re
lief was sontrht, promised to renter
prosperity by means of two legislative
measures a protectiT tariff and a law
making cold th standard of value.
The people by great majorities issued to
th Republican party a commission to
enact these laws. This commission ha
been executed and tha Retrablioan
promise 1 redeemed. Prosperity more
general and more abundant than we
have ever known haa followed these
enactments. There la no longer any
controversy aa to th value of any gov
ernment ob igations. Every American
dollar is a gold dollar or ita assured
equivalent, and American credit stands
higher than that of any other nation.
Capital la fully employed and every
where labor la profitably occupied.
No single fact can mora strikingly
tell th story of what Republican govern
meut means to the country than this
that whileduring the whole period from
1801 to 1897 there waa an excess of ex
ports over Imports of only 388,024,497.
there has been in the abort three years of
toe present Republican administration aa
erocas of exports over imports in th
normona mm of fl, 483,738,094, and
while th American people, sustained
by this Republican legislation, hav
been achieving these splendid triumphs
in their business aud commerce, they
hav conducted aud iu victory conclud
ed a war for liberty aud human righta.
War far Llb-rly hmt Aacreaaleaaaeai.
No thought of national aggraudi
sneot taruh'.ed tha hlirh unrnnaa with
wnicn American standards were an
furled. It waa a war unsought and
patiently resisted, but when it cam th
American government was ready. Ita
fleet were cleared for action. It arm
ies were in the field, and tha quick aud
signal triumph of Its force on land and
sea bora equal tribute to the skill and
foresight of Republic tatamanahin.
To 10,000,0(10 of th human rao thar
waa given "a new birth of freedom, H
and to tha Amerioao peopl a aew and
nobis responsibility.
Iaaeraaaieat af rrMllaal MaKlaUy.
We Indnrs th administration of
William MoKinley. Ita act hav bean
established in Wisdom and la patriot
ism, and at home and abroad it haa dis
tinctly elevated and extended the infla
aao of th American nation. Walk
ing an tried paths and facing nnforeeeen
responsibilities. President MoKinley haa
been la every situation th true Ameri
eaa patriot and upright statesman, clear
ta vision, strong in judgment, firm in
action, always Inspiring and deserving
th eonfideno of bis eonntrymen.
In asking th Amerioaa peopl t In
dorse this Republican raoord and to ra
nw their commission ta th Rapnbll
ean party, w rem lad them of th faot
that tha menace to their proa parity baa
always residid la Demoorati principles
and no less in th general incapacity of
th Demoeratlo party to conduct public
affaire. The prim essential of busi
ness prosperity is publio confidence in
th got seuse of tha government and
Its ability to deal intelligently with all
new problems af administration and
legislation. That eonfldeaoe th Demo
cratic party haa never earned. It is
hopelessly Inadequate, and th country'
prosperity, when Democratic aucoess at
th polls is announced, halts and ceases
la mere autimpatiaa of Democratio

joying the blessings of American com
mon schools, secure iu the right of self

pancy of their own market their con
stantly increasing knowlege and skill
nav enabled them finally to enter th
market of the world. We fav( tl'
ciuted policy of reciprocity, so dl
reoted as to open our markets on favor
able terms for what we do not ourselves
produce in return fur free foruifu mar
kets.
In the farther interests of American
workmen, we fuvor a more effective r-.
svricuou oi mo ininiirtiiiou or cheap
labor from foreign lauds, the efteueion
of opportunities of education for work
ing childreu, the raising of the age
limit for child labor, the protection of
free labor as against convict labor and
I effective system of labor insurance.
Our present dependence ou foreign
shipping for nine-tenths of our foreign
carrying is a great loss to the industry
of this country. It is also a serious
danger to our trade tor its mi Iden with
drawal in the event of a nuroiwau war
would seriously cripple our expanding
foreign commerce. The national de
fense and naval ffilcieiiry of this coun
try, moreover, supply a compelling rea
sou for legislation which will enable us
to recover our former place among th
trade carrying fleets of the world.
Liberal Pension Laws Favored.
The nutiou owea a debt of profound
gratitude to the soldiers ond sailors who
have fought its battles, and it is the 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 should be lisyeral
and ahould be liberally administered,
and preference should be given, wher
ever practicable, with respect to em
ployment in the publio service, to sol
diers and sailors aud to their widows
and ophans.
Bspahllaaas aad tha Civil Rarvloa,
We eommeud the policy of tha Re
publican party in maintaining the effici
ency of the oivil ervie. The adminis
tration haa acted wisely in ill effort to
aecur for publio service iu Cuba, Porto
Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines only
those whose fituoss haa been determin
ed by training aud experience. W be
lieve that employment in the publio
service in these territories should be
onflneJ, as far as practicable, to their
inhabitants.
It was the plain purpose of the Fif
teenth amendment to the constitution
to prevent discrimination on account of
race or color in regulating th elective
franchise. Devices of states govern
ments, whether by statutory or consti
tutional enactment, to avoid the par
nose of this amendment are revolution
ary aud should Co Condemned.
Publio movements look.ng to a per
manent improvement of the rods and
highways of the country meet with our
cordial af proval, and we recommend
this subject to the earnest consideration
of the people and of the legislatures of
the seveial states.
We favor th extension of th rural
free delivery soryisce whereyur its ex
tension may be justified.
Xsalamatlaa ef Ar a Laaa
In tba further pursuance of the con
stant policy of the Republican party to
proyid free homes on the publio do
main, w recommend adequate national
legislation to reclaim the arid land of
th United Statea, reserving oontrol of
tha distribution of water for irrigation
to th resacotiy states and territories.
W favor home role for and th early
admission to statehood of th territories
f Kw Mexico, Arixona and Oklaboma.
Oa the teat Africa War.
Th provisions of Th Hague conven
tion were wisely regarded when Presi
dent McEiuley tendered hi friendly
oflioe iu th interest of peace between
Great Britain and th Booth African
repuDiica w nu tn Amerioaa govern
ment must ooutinu th poiioy pre
scribed by Washiugtoo, affirmed by
very suooeediug president, and im
posed upon as by Th Hagua treaty, of
uou-iuMrventiou la fiuropaaa oontro
Versiea, th Amerioaa paopl earnestly
nope that a way may soon b found,
honorable alike to both contending par.
tie, to terminate th ttrif between
them.
Treatment af the PI.tllpa.lBea.
In accepting by the treaty of Paris
the just responsibility of our yiotoriea
in the cptuiish war, the president and
th senate won th undoubted approval
of th Amerioan peopl. No other
course waa possible than to destroy
Spain's sovereignty throughout tha
West Indies and in the Philippine.
That course created our responsibility
before the world and with the unorgan
ised population whom our intervention
had freed from Spain, to proyid far
maintenance of law and order, and for
the establishment of good government
and for the performance of International
obligations. Our authority could not
b loss tlinn our responsibility, and
wherever sovereign rights were extend
ed, it became the high duty of the gov
ernment to maintain It authority, to
put down armed insurrection and to
confer tha blessing of liberty and oivil
isatlon upon all tb rescued peoples.
The largest measure of self-government
oonsistant with their welfare and
our duties shall be secured to them by
law. To Uuba, independence aud self
government were issued in th same
voice by which war was declared and to
the letter this pledge shall be performed.
1 he Republican party, upon its his
tory and upou this declaration of its
principles and policies, confidently in
vokes the considerate aud approvip
judgment of the American people.

chairman of Iho Democratic National

if any trusts exist which more direct

any trust more wantonly iind wick
edly oppreaaed the eople than the
one organized and maintained by

Cr yet again, aeeing that Mr, Bryan
