THE PLATFORM
The Republicans Of Pennsylvania
assembled in convention on the eve
Of another National csmpaign, send
greetings to the Republicans Of sis
ter States. To the Republicans of
Rhode Island especially we extend
hearty congratulations upon the
triumph they have just achieved, and
hail it as the omen of a more decisive
victory throughout the country in
November.
RECORD OF THE PARTY.
We earnestly invite the calm and
dispassionate Judgment of the peo-
pie of our State upon record Of the
Republican party since its organiza-
ton at Pittsburg, SO years ago. We
appeal to the voters of all shades OF
political belief, and especially te the
young men who cast their first vote
this year, to study this record from
the dark days when the new party
rose in its might to oppose the ds-
tiant prstensions of the slave power
until nov, when its very nams is the
synonym of National strength and
mighty achievement. Il has savad
the Federal Union from destruction,
enfranchissd the slave, preserved
and enlarged the public credit, es-
tablished sound currency and pro-
tected American labor.
The party of Lincoln and Grant, !
OF Harrison AID Blaine, hGs always |
had the wisdom to do right and the
courage to be consistent. It has !
never boen found on both sides OF |
any great public question. 1t has |
never in one breath, as our Demo !
cratic opponents in Pennsylvania |
have just done, invoked the shades /,
of deceased statesmen who were pro- !
tectionigts and shouted hosannaB to |
living fres traders. From first to last !
the Republican party has been true
to its professions and staadfast in it's
devotion to the public welfare,
ENDORSEMENT OF HARRISON
We declare our urbounded cozf-
dance in President Benjamin Har-
rison, q leader without reproach. /
He has given to the country a wise |
and patriotic administration OF the
G5yernment; he has maintained the |
dignity and honor; be has upheld
the glory Of the American flag abroad
while promoting peace and advancing
prosperity at home; be has met
every duty of his Office with intelli-
gcnce and courage, and has redeemed
every pledge made to the country in
the platform upon which be was
elected
ITALY AND Chill.
In the unfortunate disputes with
Italy and Chile, in the threatened
complications with Great Britain
and the development Of the princi-
ples Of reciprocal commercial inter
course, the Republican administra-
ton has acted with judicial temper
with American spirit; and in the
OF these victories of
peace, we as Republicans Of Penn
sylvania have al especial right to
pride in the eminent services of the
distinguished Secretary Of State,
that brilliant son of Pennsylvania
and ideal of Republican leadership,
James G.. Blaine.
PROTECTION To AMERICAN LABOR.
We reaffirm as the corner stone Of
Republican faith the principle of
protection to American labor, upon
which our National greatness is
founded and by which our prosperity
must be maintained We heartily
commend the Mckinley act as an
exemplification of this principle and
intelligent criticism of its
spirit and details. 1t protects every
industry which still needs protection,
while reducing duties upon the nee
essaries of life, and making large
additions to the free list. We hail
with satisfaction the signs in the re-
cent elections that the country has
come to realize the wisdom of its
purposes, as commerce and manufac
turs have adjusted themselves to its
provisions.
DEMOCRATIC FALSE PRETENsE.
We denounce the policy of cow
ardice and false pretense pursued by
the Democratic party in the present
congress- They evade a direct and
manly Issue upon the tariff question
and insidiously attack the existing
law by q series of separate and in
consistent bills, aimed at particular
industries, the first of which, placing
wool upon the free list and threaten
ing disaster TO the interest of the
American farmer, has already passed
the Democratic House. In further
pursuance of this policy of subter-
fuge they reduce appropriations be-
low the needs Of this public service
and so rsndsr necessary the passage
of deficiency bills by the subse-
quent Congress. They have refused
to appropriate the comparatively
small sum of 100000 for the relief
of the starving people of Russia, the
nation most friendly to our own in
the hour of its utmost need.
INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT.
Consistent with the Republican poll
cy of developing the resources of the
country. we favor liberal but well
guarded appropriations for internal
improvements, and especially COM
