THE PLATFORM.
Following Is the platform adopted;
Resoipsd, That the Republicans Of Penn
sylvaniR demand OF Congress that the
Limitation Of arrears OF pension billI
whereby unjust discrimination was made
against applicants for pensions after June
80, 1885, should be repealed and all col
diers entitled to pensions should share
equally and justly in the payment Ol
claims by the Government.
Resolved, That the Republican party ol
Pennsylvania place themselves on record
against the Acknowledgement Of the colored
vote come from whatever It may, by In
timidation, by tissue ballots, by false
count, by murder, or by amendment oil
the constitution, or by Congressional &C.
tion.
Resolved, That we approve the bill which
has received the almost unanimous en-,
dorsement OF the United States Senate and
Is now pending In the House Of Rspresen'
tatiyes regulating commerce between the
States and cali upon the legislature to
adopt like measure to regulate and super
wise freight charges within the sIate.
FoREIGN LABOR,
We depreCate the infamous work Of i'm.
porting foreign pauper labor, criminal
and contract labor, and the products Of
European criminal labor and demand the
passage OF q national law summarlly and
positively prohibiting such importation
under any pretext Whatever The pro-
ducts Of the farm and dairy should not be
lost sight Of in the list Of American indus
tries to be protected under the American
system, and both National and State leg.
islatures should protect them from dan.
gerous and unjust competition and from
any or all authorizations or counterfeits.
Our hostility is likewise proclaimed to
the Morrison bill, not only It's advanced
step in the direction Of free trade but be.
cause its designs permit raw material TO
b imported duty free, and strikes at the
prosperity Of the farm, the mine and the
workshop.
LABOR AND CAPITAL.
Labor and capital are olright, and should
be through custom aud law, as mutual as
man and wife, and to the end that their
mutual relations shall be strengthened we
advocate at the hands OF the Hational Con.
gress and OF all State legislatures the en-.
aCtment OF proper laws aaording facilities
for conference and arbitration, based upon
the principle that all men are free and
equal, and directly recognizing the
equality Of all the interests involved Of the
workers, the employers and the people at
large.
We bring an indictment agaiust the
present Democratic National Administra.
ton for It's inconsistency, Indifference and
ineiliCiency which has bsen alike inCon.
astGnt in the methods TO promote prom.
ised reform, indifference to our individual
commercial interests and inefficient
through lack Of experience and ability 10
cope with any Of the grave questions Of
the day.
THE AMERICAN IDEA.
To the end that our industries may be
systematically developed, our commerce
extended, labor receive its just reward,
and capital fiud remunerative employ
ment, we demand that the system oi pro-
lection known as the American system,
which has been re-establlshed, built up
and fostered by the Republican party for
25 years DO maintained In It's integrity;
and we demand further that the system
under which the wealth Of this country
has been more thsn trebled In single
generation which affords fair and liberal
protection to our agricultural and manu-.
iaCluring interests, and the individual
classes employed in connection Herewith
be also extended to our commerce 80 that
by the establishment and maintainanCe
OF q commercial marine We may d.
versify industry, find new channels for
our crowded ranks Of labor, make use Of
the products OF forest, mine aud mill In
building our own ships and provide for
the nations defense as well as the pre-
servation Of It's honor by training body
OF men for service upon the seas, furnish
ing chips which can be transferred to the
service OF the nation and securing the es-
tablishment OF shiPyarls and machinery
which will enable us Us a nation to con.
struCt entirely within ourselves when
necessity requires navy which will meet
the demands Of modern naval warfare.
