Eve. the Republicans fthe, Sixth con-
gressional district of Minnesota, il, con-
vention assembled. declare anew our de-
votion to the grand old party al liberty
AM progress, and our loyalty to its
principles. We congratulate the people
upon the removal OF the constant hind
rance oil the recuperative forces OF the
country by the adjournment OF the demo
cratic congress, whose coming together
completed the paralysis OF the industries
of the land begun nv the Inauguration Of
the democratic president. whose dsliber-
ations aroused the pity humankind. and
whose results are satisfactory to mo-
body.
eve reaffirm our belief in the great
republican doctrine Of protection to the
American farm. American factory.
American mine and American working
men, the preservation of our home mar
ket for the home producer, the mainte-
| nance of a standard oil wages that make
those who earn them the greatest con
suncrs in 1he world, and safe deposito-
ries of duties and privileges OF American
citizenship; and we coademu the demo-
cratic party for enactirg tariff law
based upon no principle and embracing
concessions to protection inspired only
b. lie sonal, partisan and sectional in
fiuences, while striking down the wise
system of reciprocity which had its
origin in the genius OF a James G. Blaine
aud its Justification in experience.
Eve believe that the consistcn. appli-
cation OF protection requires the regula-
ton Of imported persons as we'll as
imported goods. and we declare for
radical legislation looking to restric-
tioli OF undesirable Immigration and the
expulsion of anarchists and those who
proclaim themselves enemies OF all So
cietv and government.
by tradition. interest AMI conviction
the American people are favorable to
himetalisn. and the republican party Of
the United States and of Minnesota IS
definitely pledged thereto in its sta tie and
national platforms. To that principle
we proclaim our adherence. BimetaL
ism is the equal privilege OF coinage at
government mints of both gold and sill
yer, and inasmuch as the party is pledged
to that achievement and believing it to
bein tue interest of the people, we hereny
demand the certain and speedy accom-
plishment Of it under such conditions an
shall insure the parity ofthe two metals
and their common employ ent as the
ultimate standard money in the cffecting
Of exchanges and payment Of debts.
There is no Doubt. that the majority of
governments OF the world. embracing
many OF the commerce creating nations
ford the most alluring prospects to our
import trade, would instantly upon our
invitation become parties to an agree
ment providing for the free and equal
coinage of both gold and silver at the
mints OF the associated governments ut
a ratio to lie determined by the same
considerations as those winch originally
guided the United States in the choice of
ratio for our coinage system. dis
eliminating tariff duty upon imports
from countries refusing to accetIe to the
convention, coupled with the certain
rapid growth of our commerce with
other bimetalic nations. would speedily
secure the cooperation OF hesitating
powers. We ablor and reprcbate the
deiusion OF fiat money, and declare that
the republican party alone has construc-
tive craftsmanship competent to furnish
the country with safe and sufficient
monetary system.
1--WE demand that free ballot and fair
count shall be granted in every quarter
of the republic and we denounce The re-
peal of the federal election laws by the
democratic congress as an attack on the
vital principles of government.
1--WE do not believe that government
ownership of railroads is at the present
time either practicable or desirable, but
we favor the establishment Of a system
of official supervision and control OF
railroad construction and operation,
and OF audit and ilsoection oil railroad
accounts, to the end that: First-The
legitimate earning capacity OF roads
shall not be impaired by requirement Of
interest or income from watcred stock,
