.hsrge from nearly $751; .OOO.OOO to- less than
Go9,0OO,CO0. All the industries oi the country
nave revived; labor il in demand; wages have
decreased, and throughout the entire Country
there is evidence of a coming PROSPERITY
greater than we have ever enj"Ned. Upon
lttis record the Republican asks for the con-
inued confidence and support of the people.
aud this convention submits for their appr"-
-val the following statements of the principles
ana purposes Whlcn VIII CONTINUE W Suiue
Gnd inspire it's efforts:
ENUMERATloN OF PRINCIPLES.
First We affirm that the work IF the la-
tNputy-one years has been such "a to con-
lead itself to the favor of the nation, and
,.hNt The fruits of the costly victories which
= have achieved through immense difficult
tSas should be preserved. That the peace, re-
c-ained should be cherished. That the di>sev-
G,ed Union, now happily restored, should he
.jsrpet mated, and tina, the liberties secured 10
unfinished to future generations. That the or
,iar established and the credit acquired should
.ssrer be i'm periied. That the pensions prom
sed should DO paid. That the debt so much
--Suced should he eXliuCui~hed by The full
lt4vnient of every d,Iar thereof. That the
,e'Viving industries should be further promo
III. and that the commerce already so great
eloulG he steadily encouraged.
~econd-Thc Constitution Of the United
= ties IL the supreme law. ard not compact.
o1t of Confederated Sa'es it made a nation.
.tAp,e powers are denied the Nation, while
s,thers are retained by STATES: but the bound
&ry between the powers delegated and those
served is to be determined by National and
,d by State tribunals.
IhWd-The work of popular education is
q, left to the care of The several States. but
! - the duty o: the National government to
=. 4 that work to the extent Of its cOnstl utonal
tbility. The intelligence of the nation is but
he aggregate of the intelligence in the sever
- guided, not by the genius of any one
.'cate, but the average genius of all.
NoN-sECTARIAN SCHOOLS.
Eourth-The Constitution wisely forbids
4 .ongress to make any laws respecting An es-
s~shlishing of religion, but it is Idle to hope
hat the Nation can be projected against the
influence of sec;arianism while each State is
Gposed to its particular domination. We
therefore recommend that the Constitution be
s4 amended as to lay some prohibition upon
Z Sl.fy nfa fata AVID m, fArh
lie appropriation Of public funds 10 the sup
ntirt of sectarian schools.
iIfth-We affirm the belief avowed in 1876
hat the duties levied for the purpose Of reve-
ice should so discriminate as to favor Amer
lc&n labor. That no further grant OF the
i,It,lic domain should be made to any rail-
rCaaa or other corporation. That slavery hav-
Hg persisted in the State Its twin barbarity,
fe>lygamy, must die in the Territories. That
everywhere the protection accorded to a citi-
,"u of American birth must be secured to
s'tiAens OF American adoption. That it is the
,tHty Of Congress to develop and improve our
szlfer courses and harhors, but we insist that
iHrther subsidies 10 private persons or cOrpor-
atoms mDst cease. That the obligations to the
non who preserved its integrity in the day of
sdile are undimini>hed by the lapse of fifteen
Iears since their final victory. Their perpet
sai honor is and shall forever be the gratefu!
dyilege and the sacred duty OF the Ameri- |
Ia people.
THE CHINESE FLANK.
S!Sth-Snce the authority to regulate i'm |
and intercourse between the United |
= ates and foreign nations rests with the Con-
:rsss of the United States and its treaty
a.aking powers, that the Republican party |
a.Irding the UNRESTRICTED Immigration of |
Hs Chinese As an evil of great magnitude,
evolves the exercise of the power 20 restrain
va limit that Immigration by the enact
'ssn,s of such just, humane and reasonable
vnvisions a. will produce the result.

winch characterized the earlier career of
B. Hayes, in peace and war, and
which guided the thought of his immediate
Predecessor tn him for Presidential oandi
ale, have continued to inspire him in his
sreer as Chief Executive, and that history
sill accord to his administration the honors
/. hich are due to an efficient, Just and cOurag-
''us fultiilment of he public business, and
ril honor his inter POSITION between tho peo-
lie and proposed partisan laws.
JnIQuIrIEs OF THE DEMOCRACY. -te.
Eighth-We charge upon the Democratic
srty the habtual sacrifice OF patriotism and
Justice to a supreme and Unsuitable lust for
flee and patronage; that tn obtain possession
Z the National and State Governments, and
,r the control of place and position, they
ave ohstructed all the efforts to preserve the
urity and conserve the freedom OF suffrage;
Ave devised fraudulent certificates and re-
lrns; have iabOred to unseat lawfully elect
azards the vote IF the majority Of States in
no House of Representatives; have endeav I
rod to occupy by force and fraud places Of
INST given to othersshy the people of Maine, a
Id secured by the courage and action Of q
Iaine patriotic sons; have by methods I
stached partisan legislation to appropriation
dis; have crushed the rights of individuals.
4d vindicated the principles and sought the
.ror Of rebellion against the Nation, and Q
