the lAborer or the great productive interests
| OF the country.
The Republican party fagors policy which
| shall keep Us from entangling alliances with
| foreign nations and which gives us the right
to'expect thai foreign nations shan refrain
| from meddling In American anairs- the
policy which seeks peace can trade WITH all
| powers, but especially with those of the w est
| ern Hemisphere. .r..tH.f ...tt..f. Is
We demand the restoration of our navy TO
| its old time strength and efficiency, that it
may. in any sea, protect the rights of a neri-
can citizens aud the interests of American
| commerce, and We call upon Congress TO re-
| move the burdens under which American
| shipping has been depressed. so that il may
| again be true that we have commerce.
1t Is the duty Of Congress TO enact such
| laws as shall promptly and efectually sup
| press the system of polygamy within our
| territories, and divorce the political from the
| ecclesiastical power of the so-caed Mormon
| Chpich, and that the law so enacted should
be rigidly enforced by the civil authorities, If
| possible. and by the military II need be.
The people of the United States, in their
| organized capacity, constitute Nation, and
| not a mere confederacy OF States. The
| National Government is supreme within the
| sphere of nations duty. but the States have
| reserved rights which should be faithfully
| maintained. Each should be guarded with
Jealous care. so that the harmony of our sys
! ten of government may be preserved and the
| Union Kept inyi0late.
We have always recommended the best
money known 10 the civilized world, and we
! urge that efforts should be made to unite all
| the commercial nations in The establis hment
of an international standard, which shall fix
| for all the relative value OF gold and silver
| coinage.
The regulation of commerce with foreign
nations and between the States is one of the
most important preroga.iycs OF the General
Government. and the Republican party dis
tinctly ANNOUNCES its purpose TO support such
legislation as will fully and efectually carry
tht,r ttott t,al n
interstate commerce.
The principle of the public regulation of
railroad corporations is wise and salutary
one for the protection of all classes of the
people, and We favor legislation tina, shall
prevent unjust discrim NATION and excessive
charges for transpol tation. and that shall Sc
cure to the people and the railways alike the
fair and equal protection OF the laws.
We favor the establishment Of national
bureau OF labor. the enforcement Of the eight
hour law, and wise and judicions system of
general education, by adequate appropriations
from the national revenue where the same is
needed.
We believe that everywhere the protection
accorded to citizen of American birth must
be secured to citizens by American adoption,
and we favor the settlement of national differ
ences by international arbitration.
The Republican party having its birth in
hatred of slave labor and desire that all
men may be truly free and equal, is unalter-
| ably opposed to placing our Workingmen III
competition with any form OF servile labor
whe her at home or abroad In this spirit we
denounce the importation OF contract labor,
whether from Europe or Asia, as an offense
against the spirit of American institutions,
and we pledge ourselves TO sustain the pres
| ent law restricting Chinese immigration. and
| to provide such further legislation as Is
necessary to carry out its purposes.
Reform of the civil service auspiciously be-
gun under Republican administration, should
be completed by further extension of the re-
form system already established by law to all
grades of the service to which il is applicable.
The spirit and purpose of the reform should
be observed in all executive appel I'M ents.
and all laws ut variance with the object of
existing reform legislation should be repealed,
to the end that the dangers to free institn-
lions which Turk in The power Of official pat
ronage may be wisely and Effectively averted.
The public lands are heritage of the peo-
pie of the United States and should be re-
served, as far as possible, for small holdings
by actual settlers. We are opposed to the
acquisition of large tracts of these lands by
corporations or individuals, especially where
such holdings are in the hands of non-resi-
dent aliens, and We will endeayor 10 obtain
such legislation as will correct this evil. We
demand of Congress the speedy forfeiture of
all land grants which have hpsed by reason
of Noncompliance with The acts of incorpora-
ton. in all cases where there has been no
attempt in good faith to perform the condi
lions of such grants
We denounoe the fraud and violence prac-

States, by which the will of the voter is de-
feated, as dangerous to the reservation of
our free Institutions and we solemnly arralgn
the Democratic party as being the guilty
recipient of the fruits of such fraud and vio-
lence. We extend to the Republicans of the
South, regardless of their former party affil-
atoms. our cordial sympathy and pledge TO
them our most earnest efforts to promise the
passage of such legislation as wall secure to
every citizen of whatever race or color the full
and complete recognition, possession and ex-
ercises of all his civil and political rights.
Appointments by the President to offices in
the Territories should be made from the bona
fide citizens and residents of the Territories
wherein they are to serve
The grateful thanks of the American people
are due to the Union soldiers and sailors of
the late war, and the Republican party stands
pledged to provide suitable pensions for ali
who were disabled and for the widows and
orphans of those who died in the war The
Republican party also pledges itself to the
repeal of the limitation contained in the
Arrears of Pensions Act of 1879, so that all
invalid SOLDIERS shall share alike, and their
pensions begin within the date of disability
| or discharge, and not with the date of the
application.
