ne NSTUHitOAN FlA UnM,
Below is given the text OF the platform reso-
iations adopted by the Republican National
Convention at Chicago:
Republican rule has restored upon a solid
sssis pay m,eEt in coin for all the national OBJ
asntoNs, and has given us currency abso-
taiely good and legal, and equal In every
psrt ct our extended country. It has lifted
The credit OF the nation from the point where
ok per cent. bonds sold at IS, to that wi here
bur per cent. bonds are eagerly sought at y
premium. Under its administration railways
have increased from 2l,OO0 miles in 1860 to
more than $1,000 miles in 1879. Our foreign
&ade has increased from 500, OOO, 900 to Sl.l5
10000 III the Same time, aud our exports,
which were 10000 900 less than our imports
n 1890 we're S264. coo, 900 more than our i'm
ports in 1870. Without resOrting to loans, 1t
has. since the war closed, betrayed the ordin-
ary expenses Of government. besides the ao-
rWng interest on the public debt, and d's-
bursed annually more than $50. 900. 900 for SOL
iiess' pensions. 1t has paid $751; 900 900 OF the
PUBLIC debt, and Ivy refundng the balance at
lower rates. has reduced the annual interest
charge from nearly $l5l, 900 to less than
oB8, 900 OOO All the industries of the country
have revived; labor is in demand; wages have
Increased, and throughout the entire country
here 10 evidence of coming prosperity
ahis record the Republican asks for the con-
Anued confidence and support Of the people.
cod this con INVENTION submits for their appr"-
%ai the following Statements of the principles
ssd purposes which will continue TO guide
md Inspire its efforts: .n-
=, HNUMERATI"N OF FRINCIPLEs.
Ftrst-We afirm that the work ef the last
MroOty lone years has been such ~ to ootn-
aoeud itself to the favor Of the nation, and
nat the fruits of tho costly victories which
I,sy IN i.
s1ss should be preserved. That the peasce re-
gained should be cherished. That the dissev
xed Union, now happily restored. SHOULD be
perpetuated, and that the liberties secured to
his generation should be transmitted undi-
1inished to future generations. That the or.
der eStabl shed and the credit acquired should
Aever be i'm periled. That the pensions protti-
ned should I've paid. That the debt 10 much
0duced should be extinguished by the full
CAV ment of every dollar thereof. That the
reviving industries should be further promo
cd. and that the commerce already 30 great
should be steadily encouraged.
Second-The Constitution of the United
states IL tho supreme law, and not compact.
out of Confedsrated States it made a nation.
Some powers are denied the Nation. while
others are retained by States: hut the bound
ry between the powers delega ed and those
reserved is to be- determined by National aud
not by State tribunals. lf|
Third--The. work IF popular education is
sAa left to the care of the several States, but
Il is the duty Of the National government to
aid that work to the extent Ofits constitutional
sblity. The intelligence Of tho nation is but
the aggregate of the intelligence ia the sever
a States, aud the destiny OF the Nation must
be guided, not by the genius az any one
State, but the average genius OF all.
NON-sECrARIAN SCHOOLS.
Fourth-The Constitution wisely forods
Congress to make any laws respecting an es-
tablishing OF religion, but it Is Idle t" hope
chat the Nation can be protected against the
t0fluenco OF sectaranism while each state is
exposed to its particular domina'ion.' We
therefore recommend that the Constitution he
- amended az to lay some prohibition upon
Vhe Legislature of each State and To forbid !
che appropriation Of public funds to the sup
payrt of sectarian schools.
Fifth--We affirm the belief avnWed In 1876, !
thet.the duties levied for the purpose of reve-
nue. should 80 discriminate AZ to favor Amer. |
tDRn labor. That no further grant OF the
public domain should 10 made to any rail- |
road or other corporation. That slavery hav- |
ing persisted in the Sstate. its twin barbarity, |
pOlygamy. must dio in the Territories. That |
svervwhere the protection accorded to cifi- !
zen Of American birth must be secured to |
Stizens of American adoption. That it is the |
duty Of Congress to develop and improve our |
water courses and Earhors, but we insist that |
further subsidies TO private persons"r corpor- |
Hions tnBst cease. That the 0bli legations to the |
aen who preserved its integrity in the day of |
battle arc uniimiuislied by the Ia use of fifteen
Years SINCE their nNal VICTORY. ln6tr peTp6C l
uai honor Is and shall forever he the grateful |
privilege and the sacred duty OF the Ameri- |
can people.
THE CHINESE PLANK.
Sixth--Since the authority to regulate i'm |
a iGratiOn and intercourse between the United |
Utates and foreign nations rests with the Con-
9vess Of the United States and its treaty
making powers, that the Republican party.
the unrestricted inmi grAtiOn Of
tAe Chinese - an evil Of great magnitude,
IN wolves the exercise of the power 20 restrain
snd limit that immigration by the enact
NeOts Of such just. humane and reasonable
pFovisi0us "a will produce the result.
-6eventh-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 tn him for Presidential cand
date. have continued To inspire him in his
sNreer a. Chief Executive. and that history
will accord to his administration the honOrs
which are due TO an efficient, just and courag-
sous fuliilment Of re pubic business, aud
Will honor his inter ~'osition between the peo-
pie and proposed partisan laws.
INIQUrTIKs OF The DEMOCRACY.
Eighth-We charge upon the Democratic
sarty the habtual sacrifice of patriotism and
Justice to supreme and Unsuitable lust for
,fllce and pstrouage; that to obtain possession
,orp tho control OF place and position, they
purity and conserve the freedom Of sufYrage;
