Tho Republicans ol the United States,
assembled by their delegates in National
convention, pause on the theshold of their
proceedings to honor the memory of their
first great leader, the immortal champion
of liberty and the rights of the people
Abraham Lincoln; and to cover also
with wreaths of imperishable remembrance
and gralitudo the heroic names of later
leaders, who have more recently been
called away from our councils Grant,
Garfield, Arthur, Logan and Conkliug.
May their memories be laiiniuuy cner-
Uhed.
Wo also recall with our greetings and
with prayer for his recovery tho name ol
one of our living heroes whoso memory
will bo treasured in the history both of
Republicans and of the Republic the
namoofthat noble soldier and favorite
son of victory, Philip II. Sheiidan.
In tho spirit of those great leaders, and
of our own devotion to human liberty, ana
with that hostility to all forms of despot
ism and oppression which is the funda
mental idea of tho Republican party, we
send fraternal congratulations to our fel
low Americans of llrazil upon their great
act ol emancipation, which completed the
abolition of slavery throughout the two
American continents. Vo earnestly hope
that we may soon congratulate our fellow
citizens of Irish birth upon tho peaceful
recovery of homo rule for Ireland.
We adit m our unswerving devotion to
the National Constitution and to thu in
disiolublo Union of the states : to the au
tonomy reserved the states under tho Con
stitution : to the personal rights and liber
ties of citizens in all the States and Terri
tories in the Union, and especially to
the supreme and sovereign right of
every lawful citizen, rich or poor,
nativo or foreign born, white or black, to
cast ono free ballot it. public elections,
nnd to have that ballot duly countod.' We
bold tho frco and honest popular ballot,
and the just and equal representation of
all tho people, to be the foundatiou of our
republican government, and demand ef
fective legislation to securn the integrity
and purity of olections, which are the
fountains of all public authority. We
chargo that the prosent administration
and tho Democratic majority in Congress
owe their existence to tlio suppression of
the ballot by a criminal nullification of the
Constitution and laws of tho United
States.
Wo are uncompromisingly in favor of
the American system of protection. Wo
protost against its destruction proposed
by tho president nnd his party. They
servo the inteicBts of Kuiopc; wo will
support tho interests of Amorica. We ac
cept tho issues and conhdently appeal to
the people for their judgment. The pro
tectivo system must be maiiita'ned. Its
abandonment lias always been followed
by general disaster to all interests, except
thnso of tho usurer and thu sheriff. We
denounce the Mills bill as destructive to
thu gunor.il business, tho -labor and the
farming interests of the country, and we
heartily endorse tho consistent and
patriotic actions of the Republican Rep
resentatives in Congress in opposing its
passago.
Wo condemn the proposition of the
Democratic party to place wool on the free
list, and we insist that the duties thereon
shall bo adjusted and maintained so as to
furuUh full and adequato protection to
that industry.
The Republican party would effect a'l
needed reduction of the National revenue
by topealing tho taxos on tobacco, which
arc an annoyancoand burden to agriculture,
and the tax upon spirits used in the arts
and fur mechanical purposes; and by such
revision of tho tariff us will tend to check
imports of such articles as are produced by
our people, tho production of ulnch gives
employment to our labor, and release Irnm
import duties those articles of foreign pro
duction (except luxuries) tho like of which
can not no produced at home. If thore
shall still romain a larger revenue that in
requisite for the wants ot tlio government
we favor the entire repeal of internal
taxes rather than the surrender of
any part of our protectlvo system at
tho joint behest of the whisky trusts and
tho agents of foreign manufacturers.
we declare our hostility lo the Introduc
tion into this country of foreign contract
labor, and of Chinese labor, alien to our
civilization and our Constitution, and we
demand the rigid enforcement of the ex
isting laws against it, and favor such im
mediate legislation as will exclude such
labor from our shoies.
Ws declare our opposition lo nil combin
ations of capital organizod in trusts or other
wise, to control arbitrarily the condition
of trade among our citizens, and wo com
mend to Concresi and to thu State Lccis-
atures, m their respective jurisdictions,
such legislation as will prevent the execu
tion of all schemes to oppress the people by
unduccharges on their supplies, or by un
just latos for the transposition of tlniir
products to market. We approve the leg.
islatlou by Congress to prevent alike un
just burdens and unfair discriminations bo
t een the States,
Wc reaffirm the policy of appropriating
the public lands of tho United States to be
homestcadk lor American citizens and set
tlers, not aliens, which tho Republican
partv established in 1S62, against the
tierkisteiit opposition of the Democrats in
Congress, and which has brought our great
Western domain into such magniticenl
development. The restoration of unearn
ed land grants to the public domain for
the use of aotual settlers, which waa begun
under the administration of l'rosideht Ar
thur, should le continued. Wedeuy that
the democratic patty has ever restored one
aero lo the people, but declare that by tho
joint aciiou ot republicans aud democrats,
about fifty milltous ol acres of unearned
landa originally wanted for the construe
tion of railroads hau been restored to the
public domain, in pursuance of the coiuli
lions lusertixl by the republican parly in
the original giants. Wo charge the dem
ocratic administiailon with failure to exe
cute the laws securing to settler titles to
their homesteads, and with using appro
lialions made for that purpose to harass
lunocent settlers with spies ami prosecu
tions uuder false prettuce of exposing
frauds aud vfudicatiug tho law.
The ifovcrnment by Cougress ot the
Territories is based upon necessity only,
to the end that they may become SUUu
In tho Union; therefore .whenever the con
ditious of population, material tetourcca,
public intelligence aud morally aro suoh
as to aeouie a liable looal government
therein, tho people of such Terntoiiet
them, to form for themselves a constitution
and State government, and be admitted
into the Union, Fending the prepara
tion for Statehood, all officers '.hereof
should be selected from the bona fide
residents and citizens ot the Territory
wherein they are to serve. South Dakota
should of right be immediately admitted
as a State in the Union, under the con
stitution framed and adopted by the
people, and we heartily indoise the action
of tho Republican Senate in twice
passing bills for her admission. The
refusal of the Democratic House of
Representatives, for partisan purposes, to
favorably consider these bill?, s a willful
violation of the sacred American principle
oflocat self-government, and merits the
condemnation of all just men. 'ihe
pending bills in the Senate for acts to
enable the people of Washington, North
Dakota and Montana Territories to form
constitutions should be passed without
unnecessary delay. The republican party
pledges itself to do all in its power to fa
cilitate the admission of the territories of
New Mexico, Wyoming, Idaho and Ari
zona lo the enjoyment of telf-goernment
as states, such of thorn as are now quali
fied, as soon as possible, and the others as
soon as they may become so.
Tho political power of the Mormon
church in the territories, as experienced iu
the past, is a menace to free institutions
too dangerous to be long suffered. There
fore we pledge the republican party to ap
propriate legislation asserting the sover
eignty of the nation in all territories
where the same is questioned, and in
furtherance of that end to place upon the
statute books legislation stringent enough
to divorce the political from the ecclesias
tical power, and thus stamp out the
attendant wickedness of polygamy.
The republican party is in favor of the
use of both gold and silver as mouey, and
condemns the policy of the democratic
administration in its efforts to demonetize
silver.
Wo domand the reduction of letter
postage to I cent per ounce.
In a republic like ours, where the
citizen is the sovereign and the official the
servant, where no power is exercised
except by the will of the people, it is
important that the sovereign the pcoplo
should possess intelligence. The freo
school is the promoter of that intelligence
which is to preserve us a free nation;
therefore, the state or nation, or both
combined, should support freo institutions
of learning, sufficient to afford to every
child growing up in the land the oppor
tunity of a good common school edu
cation. Wo earnestly recommend that prompt
action be taken by Congress in tho en
actment of such legislation as will bet
secure the rehabilitation of our American
merchant marine, and we protest against
tho passago by Congress of a free ship
bill, as calculated to work injustice to
labor by lessening the wages of those
engaged in preparing materials, as well
as those directly employed in our ship
yards. We demand appropriations for
the early ieliuilding of our navy; f( r the
construction of coast fortifications and
modern ordn?nce, mid other appioved
modern moans ot defense for the piotec
tion of our defenseless harbors and
cities; for tho payment of just pensions
to our soldiers; tor necessary works of
National importance in the improvement
of harbors and the channels of internal
coastwise, and foreign commerco; for the
encouragement of the shipping interests
of the Atlantic, Gulf and Paciho States, as
well as for the payment of the maturing
public debt. This policy will give em
ployment to our labor, activity to our va
rious industries, lucrease the security of
our country, promote trade, open new
and direct markuls for our produce, and
cheapen the cost of transportation. We
affirm this lo be tar better for our country
than the democratic policy of loaning the
government monoy without interest to
"pet banks."
The conduct of foreign affairs by the
present administration has been distin
guished by its inelficicncy and its coward
ice. Having withdrawn from the Senate
all peuding treaties effected by republican
administration for the removal of foieign
burdens and restrictions upon our com
merco and for its extension into better
markets, it has neither eflectcd nor pro
posed any others in their stead. Profess
ing adherence to the Monroe doctrine, it
lias seen with idle complacency the exten
sion of foreign influence in Central
America, aud of foreign trade everywhere
among our neighbors. It has refused to
charter, sanction or encourage any Amer
ican organization for constructing the
Nicaragua canal, a work ot vital import
ance lo Ihe maiutenauco of the Mouroo
doctrine, and of our national influence in
Central and South America, and neces
sary for iho development ol trade with
our Pacific territory, with South America
and v, ith Ihe Ulauds aud further coasts of
the Pacific Ocean.
We arraign the present democratic ad
ministration for its weak and unpatriotic
treatment of the fisheries question, aud
its pusillanimous surrender of the essen
tial privileges to which our fishing vessels
are entitled in Canadian ports under the
treaty of 1S1S, the reciprocal maritime
legislation of lSto, and tho comitv of
nations, and which Canadian fishing ves
sels receive in Ihe pons of the United
States, We condemn the policy of the
piesent administration and the democratic
majority in Congress toward our fisheries
as unlnendly and conspicuously unpatri
otic, and as tending to destroy a valuable
national industry, aud ad indispensable
resource ol deteuso against a foreign
enemy.
Tho name of America applies alike lo
all citizens of the republic, and imposes
upon all alike the same obligations of
obedience to the laws. At the same timo
that citizenship is and must be the pan
oply aud safeguard of him who wears it,
aud piotect him, whether high or low,
rich or poor, iu his civil rights. It should
and must afford him protection at home.
and follow and protect him abroad in
whatever land be may be on a lawful
errand.
grades of the service to which it is applic
able The spirit and purpose of the re
form should be observed in all executive
appointments, and all laws at variance
with tho object of existing reform legisla
tion should be repealed, to the end that
the danger to free institutions which lurks
in the power of official patronage may be
wisely and effectively avoided."
The gratitude of the nation to the de
fenders of the union can not be measured
bv laws. The legislation of Congress
should conform to tho pledges made by a
loyal people, and be so enlarged and ex
tended as to provide against the possibility
that any man who honorably wore the
federal uniform shall become the inmate
of an almshouse, or dependent upon
private charity. In the presence of an
overflowing treasury it would be a pubho
scandal to do less for those whose valor
ous servico preserved the government.
We denounce the hostile spirit shown by
President Cleveland in his numerous
vetoes of measures for pension relief, and
the action of the democratic house of
representatives in refusing even a consid
eration of general pension legislation.
Io support of the principles herewith
enunciated we invite the co-operation ol
patriotic men of all parties, and especially
of all workingmen whose prosperity is
seriously threatened by the free trade
policy of the present administration.
Additional plank submitted by Mr.
Boutelle of Maine, and adopted by an
almost uuanimous vete: The first con
cern ot all good government is the virtue
and sobriety of the people and the puiity
of the home. The republican party
cordially sympathizes with all wise and
well directed efforts for the promotion of
temperance and morality.
