additional remedies for tho nreven
tlon of discrimination In freight rates,
have beon passed by a Republican
congress.
In this record of achievement dur
ing the paat eight years may bo read
tho pledges which tho Republican par
ty has fulfilled. We promise to con
tlnuo those policies, and we declare
our constant ndhorence to the follow
ing principles:
Tho Protective Tariff.
Protection which guards and de
velops our Industries Is a cardinal
policy of tho Republican party. Tho
measure of protection should'always
at least equal tho difference In tho
cost of production nt home and abroad.
Wo Insist upon tho maintenance of
tho principles of protection, and there
foro rates of duty should bo renrt.
Justed only whon condltlona hnvn sn
changed that tho public Intorest de-
mamiK their nlterntlon, but this work
can not Bafoly bo committed to nnv
othor bands than thoso of tho Repub
lican party. To Intrust It to ihn riom.
ocratlc party Js to Invito disaster.
Whothor. ns In 1892, tho Democratic
party declares tho protective tariff
unconstitutional, or whether It de
mands tariff reform or tariff revision,
Its real object Is always tho destruc
tlon of tho protective system,
However specious tho nnmo, tho
purposo Is over tho same. A Dpi.
cratic tariff has always boon rnitnu-,i
by business adversity: a Romilillonn
j tariff by buslnoss prosperity.
ro a Republican congress and a Re
publican President this great question
cuu no sarely Intrusted. When tho
only free trado country anions id..
great nations agitates a return to pro
tection tho chief protective country
should not falter In maintaining It.
We havo oxtentlod widely our for
eign markets, and wo balfnvn i.. n.o
nuopuon of all practicable methods
for their further extension, Including
commercial reciprocity whorover re
elpocal arrangement can bo effooted
consistent with tho principles of pro-
wi.nn nun without Injury to Ameri
can labor, or any Amorlcan ln,inarv
The Gold Standard Must Be UoholH.
We believe it to ba tho ilntv of h.

of our national currency. The main

to uphold tho Monroe Doctrine, and
watch our commerce is essential
to the safety and tho wolfare of the
American people. To maintain such
a navy is the fixed policy of the Re
publican party.
Exclude Chinese Labor.
We cordially approve tho attitude
of President Roosevelt and congress
In regard to tho exclusion of Chinese
labor, and promise a continuance of
the Republican policy In (that direc
tion, v
Enforce the Civil Service Law.
The civil service law was placed on
the statute books by tho Republican
party, which has always sustained It.
and we renew our former declarations
that It shall be thoroughly and honest
ly enforceJ.
Administer Pension Laws Liberally.
We are always mindful of the coun
try's debt to tho soldiers and sailors
of tho United States, and wo believe
In making ample provision for them
and In tho liberal administration of
the pension laws.
Arbitration,
Wo favor the peaceful settlement
of International differences by arbi
tration.
Protect American Citizens Abroad.
Wo commend the vigorous efforts
mado by tho administration to pro
tect American citizens In foreign
lands, and pledge ourselves to Insist
upon the lust anil oniml nrnlnrtlnn nf
all our citizens nbroaif! It Is the un
questioned du'y of the government
to procure for all our citizens, with
out distinction, tho rlchts to trnvol
His nrnmnt. and vlcorous action In
Panama, which we commend In tho
hlchest terms, not only secured to us
tho canal route, but avoided all for
eign complications which might have
been of a very serious character.
In the Orient.
Ho has continued the policy of
President McKlnlev In the orient, and
our position In China, signalized by
our recent! commercial treaty with
that empire, has never been so high.
The Alaskan Boundary.
Ho sneered tho tribunal bv which
the vexed and nerilous question of
the Alaskan boundary was finally sot-
tied.
' Whenever crimes against humanity
been tendered, but always wuu uuC
regard to International obligations.
Under his guidanco we find our
selves at peace with all the world, and
never were we more respected or our
wishes more regarded by foreign na
tions.
Domestic Questions.
Preeminently successful in regard
to our foreign relations, he has been
equally fortunate In dealing with do
mestic questions. The country has
known that the public credit and the
national currency were absolutely
safe In the hands of his administra
tion. In the enforcement of the laws
he has shown not only courage but
ielSCetl
wisdom which understand
to permit laws to bo violated n.
regarded opons tho door to anarc
while tho Just enforcement nf ,
law Is the soundest conservatism. H
has held firmly to the fundamet
American dootrino that all men m
obey the law, that there must be
distinction between rich and noor
tween strong and weak, but that jn
tlce and equal protection under tl
law must be secured to every cltl:
niiuuuu itboiu iu luLc, v;iufa. Or CO'
dltlon.
His administration has be
throughout vigorous nnd honoral
high minded and patriotic. We c
mend It without reservation to
considerate Judgment of the Am
can people.
