The following is the platform:
The representative OF the Republicans Of the
United States, assembled in general convention
on the shores OF the Mississippi river, the ever
lasting bond OF an understandable republic,
whose most glorious chapter OF history is the
~ ND 10 NOW ,11oto
their country1nen on the majestic march of the
nation under the banners inscribed with the
PRINCIPLES Of our platform Of 1888, vindicated
by victory at the polls and prosperity in our
fields. workshops and mines. and make the fol
lowing declaration OF principles:
We reathrm the American doctrine Of protec-
ton. We call attention to its growth abroad.
We maintain that the prosperous condition OF
our country is largely Que to the wise revenue
legislation OF the Republican congress.
We believe that all articles which cannot be
produced in the United States. except luxures,
should be admitted free of duty ana that on all
imports coming into competition with the
products OF American labor there should be
levied duties equal to the difference between
wages abroad and at home. We assert that the
prices OF manufactured articles OF general con-
sumption have been reduced under the opera
tions OF the tariff act OF 1890.
We denounce the efforts of the Democratic
majority OF the house Of representatives to de-
stroy our tariff laws by piecemeal, as mani
tested by their attacks upon wool, lead and
lead ores, the chief products OF a number of
states, and we ask the people for their judg-
ment thereon.
We point to the success of the Republican
policy OF reciprocity, under which our export
trade, has vastly increased, and new, and en-
larged markets have been opened for the prod
ucts OF our farms and work shops.
We remind the people of the bitter opposition
Di the Democratic To this nracfipa1 h,1oi
ness measure. and claim that, executed by a Re-
publican administration. our present laws will
eventually give us controI of the trade of the
world.
The American people from tradition and in.
terest favor bimetallism. and the Republican
party demands the use OF both gold and silver
us standard money. with such restrictions and
under such provisions, to be determined by leg
islation, as will secure the maintenance OF the
that the purchasing and debt paying powe
OF the dollar, whether OF silver gold or
paper, shall be at all times equal. The in
terests at the producers of the country, its
farmers and its 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 government to
secure an International conference to adopt
such measures as will insure parity Of
! value between gold and silver for use as
money throughout the world.
every ClClIet1 United
| States shall be allowed to cast one free and url-
restricted ballot in all public elections and that
| such ballot shall be COUNTED and returned as
| cast; that such laws shall be enacted and en-
forced as will secure to every citizen be he rich
| or poor, native or foreign born white or black,
! his sovereign right guaranteed by the constitu-
| ton. 800 IS -
| The free and honest ballot, the just and equal
/ representation OF all the people. as we'll as their
.nst and equal protection under the laws, are
| the foundation Of our republican institutions,
and the party will never relax it's efforts until
the integrity Of the ballot and the purity Of cleo
| lions shall be fully guaranteed and projected in
| every state. z--
9oUTHERN OUTRAGEs.
| We denounce the continued inhuman outrages
! perpetrated upon merican citizens for poit-
isal reasons in certain Southern states OF the
| Union.
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
We favor the extension OF our foreign COM
MERGE, the restoration Of our mercantile marine
| by home-bnilt ships and the creation of a navy
for the protection of our national interests and
! the honor of our flag; the maintenance Of the
most friendly relations with all foreign powers,
entangling alliances with none and the pro.
| lection OF tbs rights of our fishermen.
| We reaftirn our approval OF the Monroe doe
