 growth abroad, and we maintain thar
 the prosperous condition of our c0un tfy is largely due to the wise revenue legislation of a 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 on ali 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 manufac- tured articles of general consumption nave been reduced under the operations of the Tariff Act of 1890. We denounce tbe efforts o' the Democratic majority of the house of representatives to des- toy cur tariff laws piscemeal, as is manI- tested by the attacks upon wool, lead and lead ores, the chef products of a hunter of states, and we ask the people for their judgment thereon.
 | OF We point t. the success of the Repub- | lican policy of reciprocity, under which | our expoIt trade has vast increas ed ind new and enlarged markets have | oeeD opened for the products of our I farms and workshops. We remind the peoIls of the bitter opposition of the Democratic party to thus practical bnsI- aess measure, and claimed th tt, execu- ted by a Republican administration. our pres ent laws will eventually give US con Lrol of tbe trade If the world. BIMETALLIsM.
 That the American people, from tra- ditOl and interest, favor blmeta!lism. aud the Republic psrty demands the use Of both gold and silver as standard 'cOney, with such res rictions and uD- der such provision 10 bs determined by legIsla ion, as viii secure the man. ;eDance of the parity of values of the two metsl', so that the purchasing aud deot pay ing power of the dollar, whether ot silver or gold, or paper, shall be at all times equal. The interest of the producers or the country, it's farmers and it's wOrRingmeD, demand that every d; liar of paper or com issued by the government shall be as good Rs any other. We commend the wise aud pa trioslc steps already taken by our gov ernment 10 secure an international COZ ference to adopt such measures as will lL> ure parity of 'slue bet Heen gold and s lver for use as money throughout the world.
 FREE AND UNRESTRICTED BALLOT.

 LIBERTY OF THOUGHT AND CONSCIENCE
 The Republican party has always en the champion of the oppressed, and recognizes the dignity of manhood, irrespective of faith, color or national lty. 1t sympathizes with the cause of home rule in Ireland and protests agalnst the persecution of the Jews ir R ussis. The ultimate reliance Of free popular government is the intelligence of the people and the maintenance of r. iieedOm among men. We, therefore, declare anew our devotion to liberty of thought aud conscience, of speech aBd press, aUd approve all agencies and which contribute to he education of the children of the and; but while insisting upon the full est measure of religious liberty, we are opposed to any union of church or state,
 OPPOSED TO TRUSTS.
 We reaffirm our opposition, declared n the Republican platform of 1888, to all com binations of capital organized in ,rusts or otherwise to control arbitrarily be conditions of trade among our ciii. ,ens. We heartily indorSe the action llready taken upon this subject and sk for such further legislation as may B required t1 remedy any defects i T ne existing laws, and to render their enforcement more complete and effec- i've.
 FREE POSTAL. We approved the policy of extending {, O towns, villages and rural communi t ies the advantages of the free mail de- ivery service now enjoyed by the larger I ities of the country, and reaffirm the declaration contained in the Republican
