Reruhtc'u ruie has restored upon a solid
ha,iS pay n,cus III coin for ali the national OBJ
legations, aud has given us a currency absO-
luteiy good aud legal, aud equal In every
part of our -xlandsd country. 1t has lifted
the credit of the nation from the point where
ak per cent. bonds sold at sc, to that whore
four per cent. bonds are eagerly sought Ut u
premium. Under its administration railways
have increased from II ,OO0 miles Ia 1860 to
more than -. 900 miles in 1879. Our foreign
trade has Increased from 500, O0O, 900 to 81 ,l5O-
MO.G0O in the same time. and our exports,
which We're so COO 900 less than our imports
in 1880. were sol. COO, 900 more than our i'm
ports in 1870. NIthOut resorting to loans, 1t
has, sicce the war closed, betrayed the Ordin
AIRY expenses OF government, besides the &C
crulng interest on the public debt, and dis
bursed annually more than $50, 400 900 for SOL
diers' pensions. Ii has paid $3.50. OO0, 900 of the
pub',c debt. and 10y refunding the balance at
lower rates, has reduced the annual interest
charge from nearly $l5l 900 600 tn less than
$50, 1000. All the Industries OF the country
have revived; iahor is in demand: wages have
increased. aud throughout the entire country
there is evidence OF coming prosperity
greater than We have ever erjnyed. Upon
thi. record the Republican asks for the con-
tinued confidence and support Of the people.
va, the following statements of the principles
aad purposes which will continue to guide
and inspire It's efforts:
ENUMERaTIoN OF PRINCIPLES.
First We affirm thar the work eff the last
t. euty-one wears has been such IN to cOtn-
mend Itself TO the favor of the nation, and
that the fruiS of the costly victories which
we have achieved through immense difficult
ties shouli be preserved. That the peace re-
canned should be cherished. That the dissev-
T,inn tap Nv faI q
verpetuated, and that the liberties secured to
this generations >h"nid be transmitted undi-
,niEisEed t" l''ure generations. That the Or
der e>tabishe cd and the credit acquired should
ne' or he in'r,ijled. That the pensions PROM
i,cd Should paid. That the debt SO much
reduced should tie eXiinguiShed by the full
Iaynent 81 cry d"iiar thereof. That the
reviving industries should be further promo
ted. and thai the commerce already so great
should he Ste"dlv encouraged.
SerOnd--in ne tonStitu, ion of the United
States il th' >t!Ieuie law. and not \ compact.
Oul % Cont-, ra.ed = a es it made nation.
Some powers ait denied the Nation, while
others are ~ t,,rl IA, States: but he bound
airy Letv ern tn" ,snwer> deltga ell and those
reserved Is t" hD get. rinned by National and
not lay state tribunals.
Third-The work of popular education is
one leit to the care of the several States, but
it is the amy uf the National government to
all that work to HE extent of its constitutional
ability. TIE Intelligence of the nation is but
the aggregate of the intelligence in the sever
al States, and the destiny OF the Nation must
he guided. not by the genius of any one
State, but The Average genius of all.
ADN-SECTARIAN SCHOOLS.
Forrh-The Constitution wisely forbds
Congress To make any laws respecting an eS
tabiiSbing of re. . ou, uut il - idle to hone
that the Ma ion can be pTUteCi.,,i against tho
influence of Seciarianisin while each Stale l.
exposed to its particular dnnii iation. We
therefore recommend that the Constitution oe
SO amended as 20 lay some prohibition upon
the Legislature of each State aud to forhii
The appropriation OF puDilc funds to the sup
port of >cctarian schools.
Fiith-We affirm the belief avowed in 1876.
that tie duties levied for the purpose of reve-
rlue >iluu.t so discriminate as to favor Amer
lean labor. That no further grant of the
public domain should he made to any rail-
road or oi her corporation. That slavery hav
ing persisted in the State. It's twin barbarty,
pol. gamy, must die in TIE Territories. That
everywhere the prof eci ion accorded TO a cii-
Zen Of American birth must be secured to
citizens Of American adoption. That it is the
duty If Congress to develop and improve our
wafer courses and harbors, but we insist that
further subsidies to private persons or corpor-
a:ions nns cease. That the obligations to the
men Ai,o preserved its integrity in the day of
battle u't.iminished by the LAPSE OF fifteen
years since their final victory. Their perpet-
nal honor is and shall forever be the GRACEFUL
privilege AID the sacred duty Of the .\mer
can people.
THE CHINESE flank.
Siyth-Since the authority to regulate I'M
migration and Intercourse betw eeif the | nited
States and foreign nations rests with the Con-
greSs OF the United States and its treaty
making powers, that the Republican party.
regarding the unrestricted immigration of
the Chinese as an evil of great magnitude,
involves the exercise Of the power 20 restrain
and limit that immigration by the enact
nients of such just, humane and reasonable
provisions as will produce the result.
Seventh-That The purity and patriotism
which characterized the earlier career OF
Rutherford b. Hayes, in peace and war, and
which guided the thought of his Immediate
predecessor to him for a Presidential cslndi-
date, have continued to inspire him in his
career as Chief Executive, and that history
will accord to his administration the hOnOrs
which are due to an efficient, just and courag-
will honor his inter. POSITION between the peo-
pie and proposed partisan laws.
INIQUrTIEs OF THE DEMOCRACY.
E;ghh-We charge upon the Democratic
party the habitual sacrifice of patriotism and
Justice to supreme and Unsuitable lust for
Office and patronage; that tn obtain possession
of the National and State Governments, and |
for the control of place and position, they |
have INSTRUCTED all the efforts to preserve the |
purity and conserve the freedom of suffrage; |
have devised fraudulent certificates and re- |
turns; have labored to unseat lawfully elect |
ed members of Congress. to secure at all |
hazards the vote of the aiority of States in |
the House of Representatives.; have eDdeav- |
ored to occupy by force and fraud places OF |
trust given to others by the people of Maine
and secured by the cOura2e and action of
Names patriotic sons; have by Methods |
vicious in principal aud tyranDical in practice !
