LEGATIONS, and has given us a currency aoso-
.utely good and legal, and equal In every
part Of our extended country. 1t has llited
khe credit of the nation from the point where
six per cent. bonds sold at So, to nat where
four per cent. bonds are eagerly sought at a
premium. Uud ~ lis administration railways
have increased from 900 miles in 1860 to
more than 81, 900 miles in 1879. Our foreign
trade has increased from 500 900, 900 to 81 $50
600 900 in the same time, and our exports,
which were S20,0OO.0G0 less than our imports
in 1850, were 1894 100000 more than our i'm
ports in 1870. Without resorting TO loans, it
has, since the WY close = irayed the OrdIn-
ary ex penses OF .ov eII..uGut, besides the &C
crulpg interest on the pablo debt, and dis
bursed annually more than $4,000, 900 for SOL
ders' pensions. 1t has paid $3.50, 900 900 of the
public debt, and by refunding the balance at
lower rates, hs~ reduced the annual interest
charge FROM Early Sl5l 100000 to less than
$50 600, 900. Al ,he industries of the country
have revived; labor is in demand; wages have
increased, and throughout ~ entire country
there is evidence of d Cun.ing prosperity
greater than we have ever en- dyed. Upon
this record the Republican asks for the con-
tinued confidence and support of the people,
and this convention submits for their appro-
val the following statements of the principles
and purposes which will continue to guide
and ins Dire its efforts
ENUMERATInN OF PRINCIPLES.
first-W We affirm that the work ef the last
-wenty-One Years has been such as to COM
S-lenu tSeiI te the favor Oh the ndliOu duu
that the fruits of the costly victories which
ave have achieved through immense difficult
ties SHOULD he pre-ert,l. nat the peace re-
gained should be che.I~..eu. That the dissev
ed Union, now happily restored, should be
: arpe. uat ed, and thai the liberties secured to
this generation should be transmitted undi-
unfinished to future generations. That the Or
der established and the credit acquired should
never he imprriied. That the pensions prom
tsed should he paid. That the debt SO much
-, had hxyt ftpll
payment ct e,t", dollar thereof That the
Teviving indus, - should be further promo
ted, and that the commerce already so great
should he stead; = encouraged.
SecUnd-Vhc Constitution of the United
States is the supreme law. and not Il compact.
DGt OF Cohiedrri'sd : a'e~ it made a nation.
some powers are ,,en.ei the Nation, while
others are re- alUrti d., States: tut he nDund-
AIRY hetwecn ~" i"'Ivers delegated and those
reserved is to H.. determined bv National and
not Ivy State tribunals.
Tbird-Ihe w"rk of popular education is
one left to he care IF the several States, but
II is the duty ~ thr = lOual government to
aid that work t"t lrh II of its constitutional
ability. TIE injCt. e Of the nation is but
che aggregate OF ti. Intelligence in the sever |
a. States, ana the destiny OF the Nation must
sIe guided, not by the genius of any one
state, but he average genius of all.
NON -SECrARIAN SCHOOLS.
F0ur!h-1he Constitution wisely fOrbidS |
congress to ntale any laws respecting An eS-
Iablishing Of religion, but il H. idle to hope !
that the Nation can be pro- ec;e'i against the !
influence of sectarianism while each State Is |
2 xposad ~ it's particular dOmna' or We |
therefore recommend that the Cons itrI ION be |
50 amended as 10 lay some prohibition upon |
the Legislature of each State and to forbid |
the appropriation Of public funds - the sup |
port OF sectarlan schools.
Ffth-We affirm the belief avowed in 1876,
: hat the duties levied for the purpose of reve
gIue should So discriminate as to favor Amer
7cau labor. ThaG no further grant of the |
public domain SHOULD tie made to any rail-
road or other corporation. That slavery hav
ing persisted in the state = twin barbarity,
polygamy, must die in The territories. That !
everywhere the protection accorded to a ci'i
zen of American birth mus be secured to
citizens of American adoptiDu. That it is the
iuty OF Congress 10 develop aud improve our
water COur eS "ud harhurs, but we insist that

which guided the thought of his immediate
PREDECESSOR to him for Presidential caudi,
