Republican Principles.

The New York Press makes a summary
OF the republican platform, which is too
excellent to be lost We therefore repro
duce it verbatim with explanatory notes
in parentheses:
These are the salient features of the
platform on which the republican party
proposes to carry the coming election:
We believe in the American doctrine
of protection. For the benefit of fat-fry-
ing manufacturers OF New England and
Pennsylvania
We believe that articles, except lux
uries, which cannot be produced in the
United States, should be admitted free of
duty. And, If We can purchase votes by
it, we will pay bounties to those who try
to produce things that cannot be pro-
duced.)
We demand that on all imports COM

labor duties should be levied equal to the
difference between wages at home and
abroad. (And therefore levy duties from
ten to one hundred times greater than
the difference Of wages.

democrats in attacking the tariff piece

throughout the world. (On gold basis
We demand that every citizen, rich or
poor. native or foreign born. white or
black, shall be permitted to cast one ballot
and have 1t counted as he casts it. by
republican returning boards backed by ..
3. bayonets.
We propose to keep on fighting till we
have honest elections in every state. Even
if we have to buy every "foater" in the
United States to prevent the wicked demo-
Gratis from voting them.)
We favor the revival of orr foreign COM
merce in American ships (Which we de-
stroy by our tariff system.)

ests and maintain the honor of our flag
land enforce the guano contracts of our
brilliant state department.
We demand that arbitrary combinations

be rigidly regulated. tBut oppose the en-
forcement of the antitrust law by q re-
publican U. S. attorney general.)

We re-affirm the Monroe doctrine. 1--WE
will do ali the meddling with the affairs
! OF South American republics ourselves)

necessary work.
