THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM,

Convention at Chicago:
Republican rule has restored upon a solo
basis payment in coin for all the national OBJ
legations, aud has given us a currency abso
luteiy good and legal, and equal IN every
part OF our extended country. 1t has lifteC
the credit of the nation from the point where
six per cent. bonds sold at Sc, to that where
four per cent. bonds are eagerly sought at
premium. Under its administration re- always
have increased from 81 900 miles in 1860 tc
more than 81, 600 miles in 1879 Our foreign
trade has increased from 300 0Oo, 900 to 81, $50
Go0.O0O in tho same time, and our exports
which were S200OO,000 less than our imports
in 1860, were S264 OO0, 600 mere than our i'm
ports in 1870. Without resorting to loans, it
has, since the war closed, betrayed the ordin.
airy expenses of government, besides the ac-
cruIng interest on the pl lie debt, ana dis
bursed annually more THAI $50, 900, 900 for SOL
diers' pensions. 1t has paid SSSO,OO0 900 OF the
public debt, and by refunding the ba lance at
lower rates, has reduced tn annual interest
charge from nearly So 10000 to less than
$sh,OO0,0O0. All the Industries of the country
have revived; labor is in demand; wages have
increased, and throughout the entire country
there Is evidence of Il coming prosperity
greater than we have ever enjoyed. Upon
this record the Republican asks for the con-
tinucd confidence and support of the people,
and this convention submits for their appro-
val the following statements of the principles
aud purposes which will continue to guide
and inspire its Efforts
ENUMERATION OF PRINCIPLES.

THE CHINESE PLANK.
Sixth-Since the authority to regulate inn
m igration and intercourse between the United
states and foreign nations rests with the Con-
zress of the United States and its treaty
making powers, that the Republican party,
regarding the Unrestricted Immigration of
she Chinese as an evil of great magnitude,
involves the exercise of the power 10 restrain !
and limit that immigration by the enact |
provisions as will produce the result.
