REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

Minneapolis.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 1O.-The
following is the full text of the platform
as completed by the committee on reso-
lutiOns:
The representatives Of the Republl-
cans of the United States assembled In
general convention on the shores Of the
Mississippi river, the everlasting bond of
an indestructible republic, whose most
glorious chapter of history is the record
of the Republican party, 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 our fields, workshops
and mines, and made the following
declaration of principles:
We re affirm the doctrine of protec-
tion. We call attention to its growth
abroad We maintain that the pros
porous condition of our country is largely
due to the wise revenue legislation Of
the Republican congress. We believe
that all articles which cannot be pro-
dueed In the United States, except
luxuries, should be admitted free of
duty, and 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 consumption have been re-
duced under the operations Of the tariff
act of 1890.
We denounce the efforts of the Demo
cratic majority of the house of repre-
SentstiveS to destroy our tariff laws by
piece meal, as is manifested by their at
tacks upon wool, lead and lead ores, the
chief products of a number Of states, and
we ask the people for their judgment
thereon.
We point to the success of the Rspub-
lican policy of reciprocity, upon whichour
export trade has vastly lncresSedand new
and enlarged markets have been opened
for the products of our farms and work
shops. We remind the people Of the
bitter opposition of the Democratic party
to this practical business measure, and
claim that executed by Republican ad-
ministratlon, our present laws will
eventually give US control of the trade
Of the world.
THE SILVER PLANKs.
The American people from tradition
and interest favor bi-metalism, 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 legiSla- !

latl0n, as Will secure the maintenance OF
the parity of values of the two metals, so
that the purchasing and debt paying
power Of the dollar, whether Of silver,
gold or paper, shall be at all times equal.
The interests of the producers of the
country, Its farmers and Its working
men, 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 interna-
tionsl conference, to adopt such meas
ures as will insure q parity of value be-
tween gold and silver for use as money
throughout the world.
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 laws shall
be enacted and enforced as VIII secure
to every citizen, the rich or poor, native
or foreign born, white or black, this
sovereign right guaranteed by the cOnsti-
tuition.
The free and honest popular ballot,
the just and equal representation Of all
the people, as we'll as their just and
equal protection under the laws, are the
foundation Of our Republican instltu-
tons, and the party will never relent it's
efforts until the integrity Of the ballot
and the purity Of elections shall be fully
guaranteed and protected In every state.
SOUTHERN oUTRAGEs DENOUNCED.
We denounce the continued lnhuman
outrsges perpetrated upon American
citizens for political reasons in certain
southern states of the Union.
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
We favor the extension Of our foreign
commerce, the restoration of our mercsn-
tile industry and creation of a navy for
the protection of our national interests
and the honor Of our flag; the mainte-
nance Of the most friendly relations with
all foreign powers, entangling allinces
with none, and the protection Of the
rights Of our fishermen.
We re-affirm our approval of the Mon
roe doctrine, and believe in the achieve
ment of the manifest destiny Of the re-
public In Its broadest sense.
We favor the enactment Of more strin-
gent laws and relations for the restric-
tion Of criminal, psuper and contract i'm
migration.
MISCELLANEOUS.
We favor efficient legislation by con-
gress to protect the life and and limb Of
employees Of transportation companies
In carrying interstate COM
merce, and recommend legislation by the
respective states that will protect en-
ployeS engaged in state commerce., In
mining and manufacturing.
The advocate., 1892-06-15

The resolution Of the national convsn-
ton (Republlcan) on silver win be the
precise copy Of the declaration Of Massa-
chusetts Democrats on the question. Thus

the champion Of the oppressed and
recognizes the dignity Of manhood, ire
spective of faith, color or nationality; 1t
sympathlzes with the cause OF home rule
in Ireland, and protests against the per
secutiOn Of the Jews in Russia.
The ultimate reliance Of free popular
government is the intelligence of the peo-
pie and the maintenance OF freedom
among mankind.
We therefore declare anew our devo-
tion to liberty of thought and conscience,
of speech and press, and approve all
agencies and instrumentalitles which
contribute to the education Of the chill
dren of the land, but, while insisting
upon the fullest measure OF religious
liberty, we are opposed to any union Of
church and state.
COMPUTATIONS OF CAPITAL.
We re-afflrm our opposition, declared
in the Republican platform of 1888, to Bll
combinations of capital organized in
trusts or otherwise, TO control arbitrarily
the condition of trade among our citi-
zens. We heartily endorse the action
already taken upon this subject, and ask
for such further Legislation as may be re-
quired to remedy any defects in existing
laws and to render their enforcement
more complete and effective.
POSTAL SERVICE.
We approve the policy Of extending TO
towns, villages and rural communities
the advantages OF the free delivery
service, now enjoyed by the larger cities
Of the country, and re. affirm the declara-
ton contained in the Republican plat
form of 1888, pledging the reduction Of
letter postage TO l cent at the earliest
possible moment consistent with the
Of the post office depart
msnt and the highest class of postal
service.
CIVIL SERVICE.
We commend the spirit Of reform in
the civil Service and the wise and con-
slstent enforcement by the Republican
party Of the laws regulating the same.
THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
The construction Of the Nicaragua ca
nal Is Of the highest importance to the
American people as measure Of national
defense and TO build up and maintain
American commerce, and it should be
controlled by the United States govern
ment.
TERRITORIES.
We favor the admission Of the remain
Ing territories at the earliest practicable
date, having due regard TO the interests
Of the people Of the terrific les and Of the
United States. All the federal officers
appointed for the territories should be
selected from bona fide residents there

three times around, forming three
beautiful spirals, and when both had

turned inward and united. Again they
were parted, and again met, after hav-

in close companionship for quite dis

be performed, this time in the shape OF
a graceful loop. Meeting again, the
trees took longer journey together
but their trainer parted them once
again. This time they were trained
into a new shape, as you can see in the

ash trees were once more united. Then
as if in celebration Of this last grand
union, the trees threw out numerous
leafy branches, surrounding the whole

worker paused to listen. So for o long
while. Then the man below-faint, ex-

brow, spite of the cold-whispered for

the boy mounted his human ladder,
working on, cautious, but tireless, with
sweat pouring from him, with blistered
hands, but heart high upheld by hope.

Again the feet before the door were
still; again the sergeant and the new
sentry put in their heads, seeing four
men sleeping heavily and with stertor'
GUS breathing. Their again, with pre-.
cision as though drilled to 1t, the human
ladder posed, and Evan went at the bal

Evan, cautiously exerting all his

a thin shred. Then, carefully as one
whose life hangs upon a sound, he put

OUR NATION THE OLDEST.
1t Was the Forerunner of All Popular
Forms OF Government.

1t Was the Forerunner of All Popular
Forms OF Government.
Americans are too often reminded by
older nations that they are q young ma
ton, and, therefore, inexperienced and
more liable to crude laundering than
the ancient dynasties of Europe. Young
we are, with youthful vigor and ire
pressible vitality. If such were the
meaning our critics intended, facts in
our history would abundantly support
them.
But in a very real and unobserved
sense are we the oldest nation in the
world to-day, and the stars and stripes
10 the forerunner of all those popular
forms of government now extant.
|, When the silken folds of our flag first
hoated to the breeze and were baptized
in blood and consecrated with imper-
ishable honor, what did they signify?
That the hitherto stifed voice of the
people demanded to be heard, respected
and obeyed.
That that voice proclaimed doctrines
of human right andufreedom hitherto a
Utopian dream, which those solitary
ones dreamt it had scarcely dared to
utter.
And, further, the assertions it pro-
claimed it did maintain against a
mighty foe, which was destined for de-
feat.
To-day the recorder of these events
looks back with awed wonder to see
| the struggle our fathers commenced
spread and grow, until it had reached
the topping thrones of these very ma
| lions which criticise us and which owe
| their germinal liberties to the proclama-
ton of independence and the war of the
revolution. Our banner is still in the
vanguard; the government so aus
| piciously begun has not persisted from
| the earth. Rather does it increase in
power with succeeding years.
| Louis XIV. said: ''The state am
the stated" George III. held his right
as a mere man to trample upon millions,
who, like dumb cattle, were helpless,
even to protest. But the old order
changed, and has given place to the
new. The people, en- masse, form the
nation. Who first asserted their claim
and gave it its hereditary right? Amer.
lea. Therefore is she the oldest nation
There are older aristocracies. She does
not wish to share in their prestige
Let them keep it all. For to her be
longs the first primeval right of true
democracy. AS Henry Ward Beechel

Juvenile Arithmetic.

In the mental arithmetic class the
teacher had great deal of trouble in
making Johnny Jones understand the
simplest mathematical ideas, though he
seemed to be boy of much natural
good sense.
''Six from six leaves how many?''
asked the teacher.
'Huh?'' asked Johnny, apparently as
,tonished at the question.
"If you have six cents in your pocket
and you lose them all how many do you
have left?"
Johnny put on scornful look at this
and answered: Zone, suppose"
Johnny Jones, how could you have
one of your six cents left when you lost
them alp
II didn't mean that I'd have one cen'
left"
Zone what, them"
Zone hole, guess" said Johnny
There's got to be sunthin."
