THE PLATFORM.
''The Republicans of Wisconsin, bv
their representatives IN this convention,
reaffirm their adherence to the princi-
| pies set forth in the platform adopted by
the national convention of the Repub-
lican party
''On the subject of protection to
American industry their views are ex-
pressed in the platform which Abraham
Lincoln approved and on which he was
elected, viz: That, while providing
| revenue for the support Of the general
government by duties on imports,
sound policy requires such an
adjustment of these imports as to en-
courage the development of the indus
trial interests Of the whole country, and
recommends that policy OF ma
tionaI exchanges which secures to
the working men liberal wages,
and to agriculture remuneratIve prices,
to mechanics and manufacturers ade-
quate support for skilled labor and en-
"a l-rE n To E1 q IA
prosperity and independence.
% " hTle IN favor of such 2 revision Of
the tariff and reduction OF the revenue as
will avoid accumulating surplus in the
treasury, after meeting the cur
rent expenses of the government,
and paying the national debt as
rapidly as it natures, they demand that
the revision shall be made by those
friendly 10 the principles Of protection,
and not by It's enemies.
They denOunCe the last annual mess
age of President Cleveland as an attack
upon American Industries in the inter-
ests of free trade. They oppose the
tariff bill now pending in Congress, sup
ported by a majority OF the committee
on WAYS and means, as an unjust, dis
honest and factIonai measure, shaped
10 meet the exigencles of
party. instead of being designed to pro-
mote the general interests, and unfair
lv aiming a blow at the industries of
one section Of the country, while shield
ing those of the other.
.'Thev protest against the methods by
which, in several stStes of the union
large bodies of voters are practically dis
franchised, in order To promote the
election of Democratic presi-
dents, congressman and other
.-+
and poison the very sources of the ns-
ton ; political life, aud make moekery
Of a republican form of government.
Every friend Of free institu-
tons should sternlv oppose the
party which practices, tolerates
or consents TO profit by these crimes
which outrage the rights Of citizens of
the whole republic. The evil com
planned Of Is an evil Of the present time.
To protest against it and to de-
maud that it be corrected Is not an ap-
peal to sectional preiudiees or bv-gone
issues, as Is wrongtUly alleged
by those who profit by 1t.
The Republicans of Wisconsin desire
the prosperity OF all sections OF the
country and friendly relations with all
They further condemn "a tending to
bring a salutarv and needed reform IN
disrepute, the sweeping changes in the
subordinate officials Of the government,
made by the present administration,
To reward and encourage partisan ser
vice, N direct disregard Of the pledges
which the President voluntarily gave

and of the professions which
