could by . two-third vote.

reached wanted to record their

roll call Of the states was continued.
| THE PLATFORM.
The following IL the full text Of
the platform as completed by the
committee on resolutions:
The representatives OF the Republi-
cans Of the United States assembled
In general convention on the shores
Of the Mississippi river, the ever
lasting bond Of an indestructible re-
public, whose most glorious chapter
Of history 10 the record OF the Re-
publican party, congratulate their
countrymen on the majestic march
Of the nation under the banners in
scribed with the principles Of our
platform Of 1883, vindicated by
victory at the polls and prosperity In
our fields, workshops and mines,
and make the following declaration
Of principles:
We resffirm the doctrine OF pro-
lection. We call attention to its
growth already. We maintain that |
the prosperous condition OF our
country is largely due to the wise
revenue legislation Of the Republi- |
can congress. We believe that all |
articles which cannot be produced |
In the United States, except luxuries, |
should be admitted free Of duty, and
that on all imports coming into |
competition with the products Of
American labor their should be |
levied duties equal to the difference
between wages abroad and at home.
We assert that the prices of manu.
featured articles Of general consump- |
ton have been reduced under the |
| operations Of the tariff act OF 1890.
We denounce the efforts OF the |
Democratic majority Of the house Of |
representatives to destroy our tariff |
| laws by piece-meal rs Ii manifested |
by their attacks upon wool, lead ores,
| the chief products OF states, and we /
| ask the people for their Judgment /
| thereon.
We point to the success OF the Re- |
publican policy OF reciprocity, upon |
which our export trade has vastly |
| increased and new aud enlarged |
markets have been opened for the !
products Of our farms and work |
shops. We remind the people Of the |
bitter opposition OF the Democratic |
party to this practical business
measure, and claim, that, executed
by Republican administration, our
present laws will eventually give us
control OF the trade of the world.
THE SILVER QUESTION.
The American people, from tradi-
ton and interest, favor bi. metallism,
and the Republican party demands
the use Of both gold and silver as
| standard money, with such pro-
visions, to be determined by legisls-
ton, rs will secure the maintenance
OF the parity 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 at all times equal. The I'm.
terests Of the producers of the coun.
try, Its farmers and Its workingmen,
demand that every dollar, paper or
/ coin, Issued by the government,
shall be rs good as any other.
We commend the wise and
patriotic steps already taken by our
government to secure an interna-
| tional conference, to adopt such
measures as will insure q parity Of
value between gold and silver for
use a. money throughout the world.
We demand that every citizen OF
the United States shall be allowed
to cast one free and unrestricted
ballot In all public elections, and
that such ballot shall be counted
and returned a. cast; that such laws
shall be enacted and enforced as
will secure to every citizen, the rich,
the poor, native or foreign born,
white or black, this sovereign right
guaranteed by the constitution.
The free and honest popular ballot,
the Just and equal Representation of
sill the people, ~ well as their Just
and equal protection under the laws,
are the foundations of our republic
can institutions. and the party will
never relent Its efforts until the In
tegrity Of the ballot and the purity
Of elections shall be fully guaran-
teed ana protected In every state.
SOUTHERN OUTRAuEs.
We deuoupce the coptinu.d I'm.
human outrages pernetrated unon
American citizens. for politic.i
reasons, in certain Southern ststss
Of the Union.
