The PIatfOrm-StiII HarPing OH the
Union.
The following resolutions were presented
by the Committee on Resolutions:
Resolved, That we adhere with undi-
minished confidence and pride to the party
that by its wisdom and courage preserved
the union of the republic, and established
liberty and equality; we believe that by
the continued ascendency of the Republi-
can party will be secured the services of a
free government that it is the safeguard
OF the Constitution, the promoter of educa-
ton, order, industry, thrift, universal free
dom and equal rights.
Grants Administration Endorsed.
Resolved, That we congratulate the
country on the success of the present Ad-
mlnistration, which has, without increase
OF taxation, reduced the national debt over
one hundred and sixty millions of dollars,
by an honest and economical collection of
the revenue, and large reduction of the
expenses of the Government; and we eS-
pecially congratulate the country on the
fact that this policy has made it possible to
reduce the internal revenue tariff duties
eighty million dollars, thus relieving the
people of burdens to this extent without
imperiling the national faith or honor.
Tariff Reform Indispensable.
Resolved, That tariff for revenue is in
dispensable, and should be so adjusted
as to be the least prejudicial to the indus
trial and producing interests of every class
or section while securing compensation
to the home producer,
Our PIundered Commerce.
Resolved, That a change of our naviga-
ton laws, so as to admit the registration
of vessels purchased abroad, is demanded
by the best interests of the country, and
that such action would again give to our
plundered commerce the supremacy of the
seas.
Public Land MOnOpOIies.
Resolved, That the policy of granting
subsidies of public lands to corporations
and monopolies, is unqualfedly con-
demned.
A Sop for the Germans.
Resolved, That, adhering to our tra-
ditional policy of neutrality, the American
people look with profound Indifference
upon any European controversy regarding
dynastic interests merely, and are con-
cerned in the present struggle between
Germany and France only so far as the
same involves the great principles of
liberty; and while we remember
that the great uprising of 1913
failed of success merely for want
of Germanic union; that during our
recent national struggle, the people of
Germany supported our cause with their
sympathy and material aid, while the arm
les of France were endeavoring to subvert
a republic on this continent and establish
in its stead an imperial throne-we can
not refrain from declaring our sympathy
with the present heroic efforts of the Ger
mans to establish, maintain and defend
their national unity.
The last resolution was greeted with
great applause and all were unanimously
adopted.
Night speeches are being made by Gen.
Garfield, John Bingham, Prof James Nun
roe and othe re.
COLUMBUS, Aug. 10 To Editors: In
