Pawtucket tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 1890-189?, 1892-09-15


safe In Alabama N In Massachusetts, and
throughout the union. We believe the Demo-
cratic policy, AZ announced In the national
party PLATFORM of restoring state bank cur
rency, from which we suffered before the war,
and which caused the contents of a mans
pocketbook to change IN value every time hs
crossed state line, to bo absurd and danger
Gus.
We believe In the extension and maintenance
Of the civil service law and commend the worA
of the commission appointed BY President
Harrison VA enlorcfng that law withou1 fear
% favor. We believe In . protective tas<6, IN
ievytng customs duttss Aot odly for rsvenus
but for the encousagemeat Of Americas Indus
tries and the protcotioa u American wages
We believe TIE present prosperity Of the ue-
tion IL largely due 20 the joint operation OF the
tystem Of protection and reciprocity. 10
further complete the system, to better protect
the wage-oarners and preserve the quality OF
American citizenship. We demand that legal
barriers be raised against indiscriminate Inn
migration. We believe In the sanctity Of indi-
viduai franchises that the hand that holds .
legal ballot, whether that hand be black or
white, is entitled TO all the protection which
the law of the nation OF the state oan afford.
In the state We believe in
Free Public schools,
free public libraries and good public roads
That inasmuch ~ tho state Is benefited over
and above thc advantage accruing 70 particu-
lar municipalities BY the establishment and
maintenance ~ these Institutions, the assist-
ance of tho common wealth ehould be extended
70 those towns and communities unable to
maintain them, without burdensone local
taxation. We approve existing laws 70 regu-
late and rcpress the legislative lobby, and TO
insure the conviction and punishment Of those
who attempt 10 corrupt the peoples represen-
tatiycs; but let us not forget that the best
nat tina tnunanea aS TIM lrhhv
Is to be found in tho high character Of tho
men sent TO tho Legislature. We believe IN tho
maintenance Of law and order. We believe In
liberal appropriatl Iona for the state militia.
We believe in the advance mcnt Of temperance
and the enactment and enforccm Of practi-
cal temperance legislation.
For more than thirty years the law making
power in Massachusetts, has been In the hands
OK the Republican party. In beneficial aud
protecting laws for the soldier and tho labor-
ing man, for the promotion of temperance, for
education and all that goes - neke a state
great and prosperous, we chaii, age conpari-
son with any state In the Union, and espo-
eially with those under Democratic rule. TO
the well-known principles of our party we
invite the careful consideration of all our
citizens, and commend TO the voters Of the
commonwealth the nominees OF this conven-
tion, as men whose character, ability and ex-
perience are sure guarantee of al adminls-
tration worthy Of our state.
