ggtions ad .p;ed by the Republican Nationa
Convention at Chicago:
Republican rule has restored upon a soiC
basis payH en- in coin for all the national OBJ
sgatlons, aud has given us currency abso
iutely good and legal, and equal IN every
part OF our extended country. 1t has lifted
The credit of the nation from the point where
Nx per cent. bonds sold at SIS, to that where
Dur per cent. bonds are eagerly sought at a
premium. Under its administration RAILWAYS
nave increased from 81 900 miles in 1860 to
more than 5000 miles in 1879 Our foreign
srsde has increased from 500 O00 900 to 81, $50
100000 IN the same time, and our exports,
which were So, 0e0. eco less than our imports
IA 1860, were S46i,OOo, 900 more than our i'm
ports in 1870. Without resOrting to loans it
ias, since the war closed, defr wed the ordn-
asy expenses of government, besides the &C
ewing interest on the public debt and dis
sursed annually more than $50, 900 900 for SOL
aiers' pensions. 1t has paid $3.50, 900 900 of the
public debt. and 10y refunding the balance at
lower rates, has reduced the annual interest
charge from nearly Sl5l 900 900 to less than
3-e,ooO, 900. All the industries of the country
nave revived labor is in demand; wages have
increased, and throughout the entire country
aGaTe Is evidence of a coming prosperity
greater than we have ever enjoyed. Upon
this record the Republican asks for the con-
HnGed confidence and support of the people,
snd this convention submits for their appro-
val the following statements of the principles
and purposes which will continue to guide
and inspire its efforts:
ENUMERATION OF PRINCIPLES.
F!rst-We affirm that the work eff the last
Menty-one Years has been such as to COM
mend itself to the favor of the nation, and
That the fruits of the costly victories which
We have achieved through immense difficult
YES should be preserved. That the peace re-
gained should be cherished. That the dissev-
cred Union, now happily restored, should be
oerpetnated, and that the liberties secured to
.eis generation should he transmitted undi-
Nit a1 TO- fur,
aar established and the credit acquired should
never he imported. That the pensions prom
ised should he paid. That the debt so much
reduced should he eXtingui>hed by the full
payment of every dollar thereof. That the
nsvlving Industries should be further promo
It'd. and that the commerce already SO great
should he t,litN encouraged
Second--lhe Constitution of the United |
Mates i the supreme aw and not a compact |

some powers are denied the Nation. while |
others are retained 10y States: but the bound |
a-y between the towers delega ed and those |
,eserred Is To he determined by National and |
Dot 10y STATE trihuuals
Third-The work of popular education is
Ma lett to the care Of the several States but
4 IS the duty OF the National government to
MD that work tot he extent of its constitutional
ability. Tie Intelligence of the nation is but
s2e aggregate of the intelligence in the sever
ID States, and the destiny OF the Nation must
- Edided not by the genius of any one
Ssase. hut the average genius of all
SoN-SECrARIAN SCHOOLS.
EOurtn-Ihe Constitution wisely forb
congress to make any laws respecting an es-
faoll>hing OF religion, but it Is Idle to hope
NAT the cation can he pro ected against the
aauence OF seCtarianisIn while each Stale L.
sSpoSed to its particular domination. We
therefore recommend that the Constitution be
10 amended 10 lay some ,roh biton upon
,ne Legislature of each State a, d to forbi.;
5Ae appropriation of public funds TO the sup
port Of sectarian schools.
Ntt--"e airln the belief avowed in 1876,
mat he duties levied for the purpose of reve-
hue should so disrrimina as TO favor Amer
'ssn labor. That no further grant of the !
public domain should lie made to anv rail
road or other corporation. That slavery hav-
ing persisted i'll the State. It's twin barbarity
polygamy, must die in the Territories That
everywhere the protection accorded to a citi-
'en o: American birth must be secured to
HlZ"hS OF American adoption. That it is the
lttE OF congress to develop and improve our
water rour. es and harbors but we insist that
sNtAer us!d,es to private persons or corpor-
eocs "nst ease. That the obligations to the
ne,i WAC preserved its integrity in the day of 8
at'ie are nh diminished by the lapse of fifteen
ears since heir final victory. Their pprpet
ia! hcnor Is and shall forever be the grateful |
riT1 eye and the sacred duty of the Ameri-
AL people
