uer."
The platform reads as follows:
The Republicans Of Pei nsy lvania. in con.
| vention assemb ed. affirming their adhes.
| ion to the declaration Of principles adopted
by the Republican National convention OF
| 1892, resolve:
That we demand the Immediate and un.
| conditional repeal of the purchasing clause
| of the act of Congress entitled AN act d..
rccting the purchase OF silver bullion and
the issuing of treasury notes thereon" APP
| proved July II, 1880.
We congratulate the country upon the re-
| cent prompt and patriotic action of the
| House of Representatives. and request the
| Senators from Pennsy lvania to support sim
| liar legislation now pending in the Senate
We favor the expansion OF the circulating
medium of the country until the same shall
| amount to $40 per capita of our population,
and approve the proposition to issue to ma
| tional banks notes to the par value OF the
| bonds deposited to secure their circula.
| tion. In this connection we repeat
| the following declaration OF the
| last Republican National Convention:
| interest, favor bi.metaIlisni, and the Repub.
| hcan party demands the use of both gold
and silver ms standard money. with such
restrictions and under such provisions, to
be determined Legislation, as
of the parity of values OF the two metals so
| that the purchasing and debt paying power
| of q 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 workmen, demand that every dol.
| lar, paper or coin issued by the government
| shan be ns good as any other"
| Further, we declare that the obligations
| of the government should be discharged In
| money approved and current in all civil
| lized nations, and to that end that largely
| increased reserve of gold should be gradual
| ly accumulated and maintained.
| Swiftly upon the heels of the success ol
| the Democratic party in 1892 has followed
unprecedented national distress a ruinous
| fall in the price OF farm and other products
| and manufacturers he closing Of workshops,
| factories and mills; the reduction of the
wages OF labor; the discharge of working
| men from employment; the cessation Oi
| railroad extension and di iminuton of traffic;
bankruptcy and the suspension of banks,
| are to-day the only monuments ol its tri'
umph. The present condition OF the coun'
| try is mainly due to the conviction that q
vital attack will be made upon the Am-ri-
can system of protection. We reiterate the
| belief we h I'VE often expressed that the
maintenance of IN adequate and stable
system OF protective duties is essential to
| the well being of the Nation and the pros
| rity of labor and Cal ital and protest
| against any amendmentsto the Mckinley
bill until II shall have been fairly tested
| and Judged by its practical operation.
The heroic sacrifices and unfatering ratri'
otism OF the Union soldiers .and sailors in
| the great War of the Rebellion created a
debt Of gratitude that the Nation can never
paw, and the Republican pirty, ever mind
| full OF their loyal services, and grateful for
| their heorism, renews its declaration ol
| friendship for the surviving veterans, anC
its'advocacy of lberal: al:pensions, and so fal
rs possible will not only contribute to thei,
comfort in their declining years, but vii
| hold in sacred memory their priceless ant
distinguished services on the field of battle
| The National democratic Administration II
the appointment of officers In charge OF the
| Interior Department at Washington, who
| are hostile to these surviving veterans, de
| serves the condemnation Of feverv loyal cit
| lzen IN the Nation. and the Republican
| party Of Pennsy lvapia emphatcally d.
| nounces the acts by which the heroes or thu
republic are being arbitrarily deprived o
| their pensions as unworthy OF the pa'riotiS
| American people and as rejecting dscred
upon the great Republic made perpetual by
the loyal services OF the Union soldiers ant
| sailors.
| We demand the enactment and enforce
| ment of immigration laws which shall
efiectually prohibit the importation OF ig
norant and undesirable immigrants. Our
intelligent workmen should not be obliged
to compete with such labor. Of.
| We recommend that the representation IL
! the Republican National Convention fol
1896 be based upon the Republican vote at
the presidential election OF 1892, and thai
the Republican National COMMITTEES IN
future State conventions shall be based
upon the vote cast at the presidential oil
gubernatorial election Immediately pre-
ceding one delegate being allotted to each
Legislative district for every 900 Republi'
can votes, and an additional delegte tor a
fraction exceeding 900 votes, each distric
10 have at least one delegat'.
| We commend the action OF the last Leg
islature in this State in setting apart from
the revenue Of the Commonwealth al
additional 81, 900, 900 to defray the cost OF
public schools thus increasing the appro
priation for that purpose to $5,5OO,O 900 Del
