MINNEAPOLIS, June TIT was fitting,
perhaps, that the patriotic airs of "Co-

and "The Star spangled Banner" should
be the prelude to the opening of ma

THE PLATFORM.
Text of tho Document as Adopted by the
Minneapolis Convention of 1892.

Text of tho Document as Adopted by the
Minneapolis Convention of 1899.
The representatives of the Republicans of
the United States, assembled in general con-
vention on the shores of the Mississippi river,
the everlasting bond of an indestructible re-
public, whose most glorious chapter of hist .ry
is the record of the Republican party, congrat-
ulate their countrymen on the majestic march
of the nation under the banners inscribed with
the principles of our platform of 1885, vindi-
Gated by victory Mt the polls and prosperity in
our fields, workshops and mines, and make
the following declaration of principles:
Doctrine of Protection.
We reaffirm the American doctrine Of pro-
lection. We call attention to its growth
abroad. We maintain that the prosperous
condition of our country is largely due to tie
wise revenue legislation of the Republican
congress.
We believe that all articles which cannot
be produced in tho United States, except lux
uries, should be admitted free Of duty. and
that on all imports coming into competition
with the products of American labor there

Rhode Island has spoken. Only yester-
day Oregon spoke, electing three represen-
tatives-three Republican representatives
to the congress of the United States; and
when we get through with this conven-
ton it's conclusions will be the law of Re-
publican action, as they will be the assur-
ance of Republican victory. Applause
We are for protective tariff and for reci-
procity. Great applause We propose
to take no backward step upon either one
of these great Republican principles. We
stand for protective tariff because it rep
resents the American home, the American
tireside, the American family, the Ameri-
can girl and the American boy and the
highest possibilities of American citizen
ship. [Applause.]
We propose to raise our money to pay
public expenses by taxing the products of
other nations. rather than by taxing the
products of our own. lApplause.l The
Democratic party believes in direct taxa
ton, that is, in taxing ourselves. but we
do no. believe in that principle so long as
we can find anybody else to tux. Our pro-
tective tariff does everything which rev.
enue tariff can do in rnising all needed
revenues, but protective tariff does more
than that. A protective tariff encourages
and stimulates American industries and
gives the widest possibilities to American
genius and American effort Does any
body know what tariff reform is? ["No,
no." and laughter.l And that is to be
the platform of our politician opponents
this year. What does it mean? You can
study President Clevelands utterance
from the first one lie made In New York
when he said he did not know anything
about tariffs. [Laughter.l You come
away ignorant and uninformed US to what
tariff reform means. Since the war there
have been three great tariff reform bills
proposed by the Democratic leaders, none
of them alike; neither of them with the
same free list; neither of them with the
same tariff list; neither of them with the
same rates of duty, but all made by the
Democratic party upon the same principal
to symbolic and represent tariff reform.
You may go to Mr.. Mills; you may go to
Mr.. Sprnger's. and you will find they
differ totally, but you may go to the house
of representatives which was elected dis

Mr.. McKinlcy's Speech.

Gentlemen of the Conventional thank
you for the hoaor of presiding over the
national convention of the Republican
party. Republican conventions mean
something. They have always; meant
something. lApplause. Republican
conventions say what they mean and mean
what they say. They declare principles,
and policies and purposes and when en-
trusted with power execute and enforce
them. The first national convention of
the Republican party met thirty years
ago in Philadelphia, and the platform
reads today more like inspiration than the
affirmation of Il political party. lGreat
applause.l Every provision of that great
instrument made by the fathers of our
party is on the public statutes of our
country today. Every one of them has
been embodied into public law and thnt
cannot be said Of the platform of am
other political party Of this or any other
country of the world. [Cheers.l WheE
ever there is anything to be done in this
country and for this country the Repu''-
lican party is called upon to do it. There
is one thing that can be said about our
organization that cannot be said about
any other; it can look backward without
shame or humiliation; il can look forward
with cheer end eXultation. lGreat ap
plause.l That cannot be said of any po-
litical organization other than ours.
Gentlemen of the convention, we are
here today to make platform and nopl-
mate ticket that will commend thctn
selves to the conscience and the intelli-
gence and the judgment of the American
people, und we will do it. Cheers.
Whatever is done by this convention,
eithe :. to platform Or rs to ticket, will
receive the approval of the American peo
pie in November of this year.
We have already heard some of the notes
of victory, for this is a Republican year.
