Republican rule has restored upon .
solid basis payment In coin for all the
national obligations, and has given rs .
currency absolutely good and legal, and
equal In every part OF our extended coun.
try. 1t has lifted tho credit Of the nation
from the point where six per cent. bends

Under it, administration railways have
increased from Il 900 miles In 1850 10
more than 50. 200 miles In 1879. Our for.
eign trade has increased from $70o, 00o, 900

In demand; wages have increased. and
throughout the entire country there 10
evidence Of . coming prosperity greater
than We have ever enjoyed. Upon this
record the Republican party asks for the
continued confidence and support Of the
people, and this convention submits for
their approval the following statements Of
the principles and purposes which will
ENUMERATION or PRINCIPLES.
First-ws affirm that the work Of the
last twenty-ons years has been such ~ TO
and that the fruits Of the costly victories
which We have achieved through immense
difficulties should be preserved. That the
peace rsgained should DO cherished. That
the discovered Union, now happily restored.
should DO perpetuated. and that the liber-
ties secured TO this generation should be
transmitted undiminished 70 future gener-
atoms. That the order established and the
credit acquired should mover be imperiled.
That the pensions promised should DO paid.
That the debt 30 much reduced should DO
sxtinguished by the full payment Of every
dollar thereof. That the reviving indus
tries should DO further promoted. and that
the commerce already 90 great should be
steadily encouraged.
Second-The Constitution Of the United
States 10 the supreme Law. and not . mere
compact. Out Of Confederatsd States IL
made . sovereign nation. Some powers
are denied to the Nation. while others are
retained by tho States; but the boundary
between the powers delegated and those
reserved 10 to DO determined by National
and not by State tribunals.
Third-The work Of popular education
10 one left TO the care Of the several States,
but II 10 the duty OF the National govern.
ment to aid that work TO the extent Of Its
constitutional ability. The intelligence Of
the nation IL but the aggregate Of the in
telligsnce In the several States, and the
destiny Of the Nation must DO guided. not
by tho genius Of any q State, but the
average genius OF all.
NoS.sKcrARfAN SCHOOLS.
Fourth-Ths Constitution wisely fsrbids
Congress 10 make any laws respecting an
establishment Of religion. but II II idle TO
hope that the Nation can be protected
against the influence Of sectarianism while
each State il exposed TO its particular
domination. We therefore recommend
that the Constitution be 20 amended ~ 10
lay some prohibition upon the Legislature
Of each State and TO forbid the appropria-
ton Of public funds to the support Of Sec
tartan schools.
Fifth-ws reafirm the belief avowsd In
1875. that the duties levied for the purpose
Of revenue should 10 discriminate a. TO
favor American labor. That no further
grant Of the public domain should be made
TO any railroad or other corporation. That
slavery having perished in the States, Its
twin bsrbarity. ~polygsmy, must die in the
Territories. That everywhere the protec-
birth must be secured 10 citizens OF Amer
lean adoption. That IL 10 the duty Of Con-
gress to develop and improve eur water
courses and hsrbOrs, but We insist that
further subsidies to private persons or cor
porations must cease. That the obliga-
tons TO the men who preserved Its intsg.
rity in the day Of battle are undiminished
by the lapse Of fifteen years since their
anal victory. Their perpetual honor 10
and shall forever DO the grateful privilege
and tho sacred duty Of tho American
people.
THE CHINESE LAM

evil Of great magnitude. involves the exer-
else Of the power to restrain and limit that
immigration by the enactment Of such just,
humane and reasonable provisions n will
produce the result.
Seventh-That the purity and patriotism

Rutherford b. Hayes, In peace and war,
and which guided the thought Of his inn

Of the public business. and will honor his
