Of the bittey opposition OF the democratic party
| that, executed by o republican administration,
our present laws will eventually give us control
Of tho trade Of the world.
SILVER,
The American people from tradition and inter
est favor bimctallism, and the republican party
| demands the use of both gold and silver as
standard money, such restrictions to be deter
mined by contemplation OF values of the two
metals, so that the purchasing and debt paying
power of the dollar, whether of silver, gold or
paper, shall be equal ut all times.
The interests of the producers of the country.
| its farmers and its worlyingmen, demand that
ovory dollar-paper or gold-issued by the gov
ornment, shall be as good as. any other. we
taken by our government to secure an interna-
| tional parity of value between gold and silver
for use as money throughout the world. ~.-..
ELECTIONS.
We demand that every citizen of the United
| States shall be allowed to cast one free and un.
restricted ballot in all public elections, and that
cast; that such laws shall be enacted and en-
this sovereign right guaranteed by the consti-
| tuition, the free and honest popular ballot, the
| just and equal representation of all the people,
as well rs the Just and equal protection under
stitutions, and the party will never relax its
efforts until the integrity of the ballot and the
purity of elections shall be fully guaranteed and
| protected in every state.

merce the restoration of our mercantile ma

| MISCELLANEOUS.
| We favor efficient legislation by congress to
| protect the life and limbs of employees of rail-
road companies engaged In carrying Interstate
commerce, and recommend legislation by the re-
| spective states th2s will protect employees
| gagged in interstate commerce, in mining and in
manufacturing.
| The republican party has always been the
| champion OF the oppressed and recognizes the
| dignity of manhood irrespective of faith, color
| or nationality. 1t sympathizes with the cause
of home rule in Ireland, and protests against tire
| persecution of the Jews in Russia The ultimate

freedom among men.

| the fullest measure of religious liberty, we are
opposed to any union of church and state

capital organized TO control arbitrarily the con-
dition of trade among our citizens. We heartily
indorse the action taken on this issue and ask
for such further legislation as may be required
| to remedy any defects in existing laws and to
render their enforcement more complete and ef-
| fective.
We approve the policy of extending to towns
and rural communities the advantages of the
| free delivery service now enjoyed by the large
cities OF the country, and reaffirm the declara-
| tion contained in the republican platform of
1855 pledging the reduction Of letter postage to
| one cent at the earliest possible moment
| CIVIL SERVICE.
| We commend the spirit and evidence of re-
| form in the civil service and the wise and con-
| sistent enforcement by the republican party Of
| the laws relating to the same.
| NICARAGUA CANAL.
| The construction of the Nicaragua canal is Of
| the highest Importance to the American people,
both as measure of national defense and to
build up and maintain American commerce, and
it should be controlled by the United States
government
| TERRITORIES.
We favor the admission of the remaining ter
ritories at the earliest possible moment, having
due regard to the interests of the. people OF the
territories and for the United States. All the
federal otficeholders appointed In the terrific
rieS should be selected from the residents there
of, and the right of self-government should be
accorded as far as possible.

We favor the ceSSion, subject to the home
stead laws, of the arid public lands to the states
and territories in which they lie, under such con-
gressional restrictions as to disposition, re-
clamation and occupancy by settlers as will
secure the maximum benefits for the people.
| THE COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.
