States have reserved rights which should
be faithfully maintained.
We have always recommended the best
money known TO the civilized world. and
we uree that efforts should be made to
unite all commercial nations in the estab-
lisbment of an international standard,
which shall fix the relative value Of gold
and silver coinage.
The regulation of commerce with foreign
nations and between the States, as one of
the most important p~rerogatives Of the
General Government, and the Republican
party distinctly announces its purpose to
support such legislation as will fully and
efficiently carry out the constitutional
power Of Congress over inter State COM
MERGE.
The principle Of public regulation of
railroad corporations, is q wise and salu-
tory one, for the protection of all classes Of
people. We favor legislation that shall pre-
vent unjust discrimination and excessive
charges of transportation, and that shall
secure to the people and railroads alike q
fair and equal protection of the laws.
We favor the establishment of q National
Bureau Of Labor, the enforcement Of the
law, q wise and judicious sys-
tenn of general education by adequate ap-
preparations from the national revenue
whenever the same is needed.
We believe that everywhere protection
to a citizen of American birth must be
secured to citizens by American adoption,
and we favor the settlement of national
differences by international arbitration.
The Republican party, having its birth
in q hatred of slave labor, and Q desire that
all men may be truly free and equal, is un-
alterably opposed to placing our working
men in competition with any form OF ser
vile labor, whether at home or abroad; in
this spirit we denounce the importation OF
contract labor, whether from Europetor
Asia, as an offense against the spirit OF
American institutions, and we pledge our
selves to sustain the present law restrict
ing Chinese immigration, and to provide
such further legislation as lie necessary to
carry out its purposes.
The reform OF civil service. auspiciously
begun under q Republican administration,
should be completed by q further extern
sion of the reformed system already es-
tablished by law, to all grades of service
to which it is applicable; the spirit and
purpose of reform should be observed in
all executive appointments, and all laws
at variance with the object Of existing re-
formed legislation should be repealed, to
the end that the dangers to free institu-
tions, which Turk in the power OF official
patronage, may be wisely and effectively
averted.
We declare for q repeal of the limita-
ton contained in the Arrears Act OF 1879,
so that all invalid soldiers shall share
alike, and their pensions begin with the
date of disability or discharge, and not
with the date of application.
Resolved, That appointments by the
President to offices in Territories should
be made from bona fde citizens and resi-
dents OF the Territories wherein they are
to serve. and guarded with jealous care,
so that the harmony of u system of Gov
eminent may be preserved n the Union
kept inviolate.
The p~erpetuity Of our institutions rests
maintaining a free ballot, and honest
and correct returns. We denounce the
and violence practiced by the Demo-
party in the Southern States, by
which the will of the voter il de-
as dangerous to the preserva-
ton Of free institutions, and we
solmenly arraign the Democratic party as
being guilty as q recipient OF the
fruit Of such fraud and violence. We ex-
tend to the Republicans Of the South,
regardless of their former party affiliations,
a cordial sympathy, and pledge to them
our most earnest efforts to promote the
passage Of such legislation az will secure
every citizen, of whatever race and color, q
full and complete recognition. possession
and exercise OF all civil and political
rights.
The public lands are the heritage Of the
people OF the United States, and should be
reserved, az far as possible, for small hold
ings, by actual settlers. We are opposed
to the acquisition of large tracts OF lands
by corporations or individuals, especially
where such holdings are in the hands
of nonresident aliens, and we
will endeavor to obtain such legislation as
will tend TO correct this evil. We demand
OF Congress a speedy forfeiture Of all land
grants which have lspsed by reason OF
noncompliance with the acts Of incorpo-
r~ations, in cases where there has been no
attempt in good faith TO perform the con-
ditions Of such grant.
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 suitable pensions
for all who were disabled, and for the
widows and orphans Of those who died in
the war.
