THE PLATFORM.

The principles adopted by the Re-
publican state convention lately in
session in Portland are traditional of
the party, and, while platforms are
usually composed of empty utterances
which signify little or nothing, yet
when they follow the well-beaten
track of the history of the organization,
they become important as a truthful
exposition of the future intentions and
plans of party action. 1t Is merely
reiterating the history of the past
quarter of century to speak in glow
ing terms of the safe financial policy
adopted by the Republican party when
the heavy debt incurred by the civil
war threatened to bankrupt the ma
tion. But not only on the financial
question, but on all others of interest
to the country the party has been
economical, patriotic and honest. The
Republicans of Oregon could not do
less than enunciate these principles,
and the people at the ballot-box next
June will not fail to support them.
There is always more or less glitter in
all platforms, and this must be elm
mated before the pith and point can
be discerned. Kidding the instrument
of all glittering terms, and the plain
reading will find an endorsement in
the heart of every Republican. Safe
and economical administration of ma.
tional affairs. protection to American
industries, forfeiture of unearned land
grants and liberal appropriations for
public improvements have been the
distinguishing characteristics of the
party since its inception, and always
will be while it maintains its popu-
larity with the American people. To
give short and concise history of the
party for the past twenty-five years
will always make good platform for
the future, and if the foreign growths
of bossism and machine rule could be
entirely eradicated from the parent
trunk, the organization would never
want followers or suffer defeat.

PROTECTION UPHELD,

Fifth-That we rejoice in the fact that
In the last presidential election the Amer
ican people voted to sustain and uphold
the Republican doctrine of protection
which the Democratic party proposed to
destroy, end we are in favor of
the continuance of that system of pro-
lection which has developed the manu-
featuring ard agricultural interests of our
country and protected American laboring
men from degrading competition with the
pauperized and poverty stricken labor of
the Old World, and to this end
end we endorse the provisions of the bill
known as the Mckinley tariff bill, now
pending before congress, and on behalf
of the wool growers and other industries
OF the Pacific Northwest We urge upon
our representatives in congress to do all
in their power to secure the early passage
OF said bill.
Sixth-That recognizing the fact that
the United States is the greatest silver
producing country in the world, and that
both gold and silver were equally the
money of the constitution from the be-
ginning of the republic until the hostile
legislation against silver, which unduly
contracted the circulating medium of the
country, and recognizing that the great
interests of the people demand more
money for use in the channels of trade
and commerce; therefore, we declare our
selves in favor of the fiee and Unlimited
coinage of silver, and denounce any at
tempt to discriminate against silver as
unwise and unjust.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The Republican party of Oregon In
state convention assembled, proud of its
record and past history, Its devotion to
the principles of human liberty and
human rights, Its great and inperishable
names which lend lustre and glory to the
American nation al home and among the
nations of the earth, and as an assurance
of it's continued fidelity to the great prin-
past in state and national affairs, does here
by make and affirm the following declar
alton OF its principles:
FIrst-That We favor honest, efficient
and economical administration of every
department of government, both state
and national.
Second-That we regard the free school
system of our state as the special care and
pride of the Republican party, to be
cherished as one of the lsulwarks of the
liberties of the people.
Third-That whereas the Republican
party had always contended for pure
electoral system, in pursuance of this
policy we favor the adoption of the
Australian ballot system, and we
pledge the Republican party to enact
such a law at the next session of the leg
islature, substantially upon the line and
of the character of the act as drafted by
the Ballot Reform league of Oregon.
Fourth-That the Republicans Of
Oregon send greetings and congratuls-
tions to their brethern of Maine for hav-
ing furnished Thomas r. Reed, an honest
and courageous statesman. who. as speaker
of the house of representatives,, has Sc
cured for the representatives, of the peo-
pie the right of the majority to govern,
and we denounce the fiction by which
Democratic members of congress attempt
to justify the technical defeat of the will
of the people and the majority of their
own body by refusing to vote, though in
fact present and in duty bound to do 80.

PENSIONS FOR THE VETERANS.

PENSIONS FOR THE VETERANS.
Seventh--That the gratitude of the ma.
tlon to the defenders of the Union caLnot
be measured by laws. That the legisla-
tion of congress should conform to the
pledges made by loyal people, and be
80 enlarged and extended as to provide
against the possibility that sny man who
honorably wore the Federal uniform shall
become an inmate of an almshouse or de-
pendent npon private charity.
Eighth-That we are in favor of fair
and equal distribution of taxation, and
we believe that all property not now ex-
empt by law should contribute its due
proportion in payment of the legitimate
expenses of the government. That we
are in favor of the adoption of such
amendment to our assessment laws as
will secure the equal and just assessment
aud taxation of all property at its true
value.
Nlnth-That we demand the imme.
diate forfeiture by congress of the land
grant of the Northern Pacific railroad
from Walluls to Portland.
Tenth-That we are heartily in favor
of the passage through congress of the
bill providing for a boat railway at the
dalles of the Columbia river, which has
been passed in the senate by the efforts
of Senators Mitchell and Dolph; that we
believe it to be the most practical plan
for the relief of the producers and for the
development of that vast territory of
country tributary to the great Columbia
river.
Eleventh-That We favor the enact.
ment of law in the interest of the wage.
earning classes in factories, mines, work.
shops and public works, fixing eight
hours as days work, and we denounce
the convict labor system as unjust to the
honest labor of our state, and we believe
that all laws recognizing such System be
repealed; that we are opposed to the
further immigration of Chinese laborers
to the United States, and we demand
more stringent and effective measures for
carrying into practical operation the
enactments Of congress excluding the |
Chinese laborers from American soil |
APPROPRIATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENTS.
Twelfth That we reiterate our ap-
proval of the policy of liberal appropria- |
tions Tor internal Improvements, es-
pecislly for cur rivers and harbors; that
we favor the continuation of the policy
of using the public money for the public
welfare, believing that the improvement
of our waterways will result in q mater
ial reduction of the rates of transporta-
ton; that we hold all corporations strict
ly responsible to their liabilities under
the Law, and recognize the right of the
Legislature to enact all reasonable limi-
tations on corporate power.
Thirteenth--That we favor legislative
enactment BY which there may be elected
d appointed state inspector of weights
and measures, and also favor amend
nents to municipal charters which shall
require the appointment Of building and
sanitary inspectors In all cities of 10000
,r more inhabitants.

THE MILL PROJECT.

We publish elsewhere a letter from
MIR. stiles, OF Monroe, Michigan,
making inquiries in relation to the
Touring mill and the amount of wheat
than can be raised in the county.
The gentleman writes very intelli-
gently OF the situation. A man with
capital to invest wants some ass,ir-
ance or guarantee that he will get a
fair return. \ flour mill idle six
months out OF the year would be a
poor investment. Naturally, he wants
to know ii sufficient wheat can he
raised to keep a mill in constant ope-
ration, and thinks about 10000
bushels per year would be required.
He thinks he could not get one-t bird
OF that amount this year. This may
be true for the reason that seeding
time is at hand and no assurance can
be given farmers that they will have
a market for their wheat. But given
time to procure seed and prepare the
land, fifty thousand bushels yearly
would he "a small matter.
1t is perhaps not necessary that "a
mill OF so large capacity as the gen
tleman suggests should lie put in, rs
for some time to come the mill must
depend on the county for market.
