REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The representatives of the republic
ans 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 is the record Of the republican
part, congratulate their countrymen
on the majestic march of the nation
under the banners inscribed with the
principles of our platform in 1888,
vindicated by victory at the polls and
prosperity in the fields, workshops
and mines, and make the following
declaration of principles:
PROTECTION.
We reaffirm the American doctrine
of protection. We call attention to
its growth abroad. We maintain
that the prosperous condition of oul
country is largely due to the wise
revenue legislation of the republican
congress. We believe that all articles
which can not be produced in the
United States, except luxuries, should
be admitted free of duty, and that OF
all imports coming into competition
with the products of American labo1
there should be levied duties equal tx
the difference between wages abroad
and at home.
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1892-06-30
TIE SILVER PLANK.

The American people, from tradition
and interest, favor bi-metallism, and
the republican party demands the use
of both gold and silver as standard
money, with such restrictions and
under such provisions, to be
determined by legislation, as will
secure maintenance of the parity of
value of the two metals, so that the
purchasing and debt paying power of
a dollar, whether silver, gold or paper,
shall be at all times equal.
The interests of the producers of the
country, its farmers and workingmen,
demand that every dollar, paper or
coin, issued by the government, shall
be as good as any other.
We commend the wise and patriotic
steps already taken by our govern
ment to secure an international con-
ference to adopt such measures as
will insure the parity of value be-
tween gold and silver for use as money
throughout the world
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1892-06-30
AN HONEST BALLOT.

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
as cast; that such laws shall be
enacted and enforced as will secure
to every citizen, be he rich or poor,
native or foreign born, white or black,
this sovereign right guaranteed by
the constitution. A free and honest
popular ballot, the just and equal
representation of all people, as well
as their just and equal protection
under the laws, are the foundation OF
our republican institutions, and the
party will never relent its efforts
until the integrity of the ballot anc
the purity of elections shall be full.

RECIPROCITY.

We point to the success of the re-
publican policy of reciprocity, under
which our export trade has vastly
increased and new and enlarged
markets have been opened for the
products of our farms and workshops.
We remind the people of the bitter
opposition of the democratic party
of this practical business measure,
and claim that executed by repub-
lican administration our present laws
will eventually give US control of the
