The Maine Republican Platform.

The Republican party of Maine invite all the
people of the State who are in accord with the
principles of the following platform to unite in
q common course of action
A financial policy not in favor of monometal
lism, either of gold or silver, as the basis of q
financial system, but international bimet allism TO
be secured by strenuous efforts of the national
power. Now, and in the future all dollars should
be of equal value to the end that suitable cur
rency, abundant for all wants shall secure to all
the people the full results of their labor.
The enactment and enforcement of all laws re-
quired for the proper recognition and protection
of labor.
The American Union its citizens and their great
privileges can be protected in no surer way than
by absolute exclusion from our country, of the
paupers, criminals, and diseased of Europe. The
party, therefore, favors the passage of such re-
strctve legislation as will admit to our shores
only those immigrants who have the capacity and
desire to become good American citizens.
A firm and anbs nding foreign policy, which will
prevent the interference of European powers in
the domestic government OF American states and
countries. The party sustainsi the course OF
President Harrison and ex-Minister John L
Stevens toward the people of the Hawaii islands,
and wholly disapproves the un-American policy
of the Cleveland administration in relation there
to. $751;. H.. .
Legislation for the benefit of the Union soldiers
of the war of the rebellion, their widows and
children, and disapproval of the present policy OF
the Pension Bureau in making such laws, to de
gree, nulity.
Full recognition of the benefits to all the people
of the State which have come from temperance
and prohibition and we pledge our continued and
hearty support of the enforcement of the prohibi
tory laws. =.~
A tariff for the protection of American labor
against the underpaid and pauper labor of foreign
countries.
The Republican party calls upon all the voters
of the State to express at the polls their disap
proval of the Wilson tariff bill, the main vicious
features of which are maintained and added to in
the bill now before the Senate, which surrenders
the interests of Northern labor while it protects
those of the South, and delivers nearly every in
dustry of Maine into the hands of our nearest and
most hostile rival, the Dominion of Canada.
The Blaine system of reciprocity and opposition
to the Democratic policy which attempts its aban.
donment and repeal.
Cordial approval of the course of the Maine del,
egation, in the Senate and in the House of Repre-.
sentatives, in fighting the Democratic tariff bill at
every stage. and continued support in every fur
ther effort to obstruct and defeat the bill.
A full endorsement of the conduct of the affairs
of ire State by the executive and Legislative
branches, and a cordial recommendation of Gov
ernor Henry b. Cleavas for reelection to the high
office which he hns SO admirably filed.

An able character cation of the admins
tra,ion's policy towards Hawaii is found in
the New York Press of Aug. 10th. Its in
cepion, the Press finds was "begun in
shameful treachery and carried on for a
long time in defiance of the principles of
justice, the requirements of craftsmanship
and the sentiment of the American people,
has ended in complete and ignominous sur
render. The formal recognition of the
Hawaiian Republic by Mr. Cleveland marks
the close of chapter in American diplo-
matte history which no patriotic American
can recall without indignation and humilia-
ton.
"By every resource of intrigue and men
ace which malignant hatred could suggest,
by every means short of the actual force
which they did not dare to use, Mr.. Cleve-
lard and Secretary Gresham endeavored to
overthrow Republican government in
Hawaii and restore the depraved despotism
of the bloodthirsty savage who was
anxious to pose once more in the
trappings of queen. The fact
that the leading citizens of Hawaii
were of American blood, that they were
laboring to establish American institutions
in the archipelago, and that Hawaii, by
geographical, commercial and strategic con-
siderations was inseparably identified with
the United States, only seemed to add 10
the virulence of the hostility with which
the President and his treacherous secretary
of state assaiied the welfare Of the little
community which had the clearest right to
look to this Republic for friendship and
prote ction.
Fortunately for American honor and
the cause of civilization in the Pacific,
public opinion, aroused by the appeals of
the press, was powerful enough to battle
the cowardly conspiracy to restore the
/ degraded Liliuokslani and hand over
Hawaii to Great Britain. The course of
the administration deserves the severest
things that have been said of it, ard
Representative Boutelle's scathing cor
domination in the House yesterday of the
infamous Cleveland policy toward Hawaii
was amply justified by the facts. Mr.. Cleve-
land and Mr.. Gresham have been beaten at
every point, and the knowledge that as soon
as the Cleveland administration comes to
an end Hawaii will apply for annexation
with the practical certainty that her request
will be granted, adds to the sting of their
disgraccful and overwhelming defeat"

There is nothing gracious or dignifed in
the administration announcement Of its
formal recognition ofthe Hawaiian Repub-
lie. The proceeding is entirely in accord with
the petty, small-souled and contemplate
policy with which President Cleveland and
Mr.. Gresham have treated Hawaiian affairs
ever since the revolution began.

Thomas Hennessy of Whitneyville while
recently hsying in the meadow, heard
futtering in the brook, and upon investiga-
ton, found mink holding duck under
water near some overhanging alders. He
made splash on the water, and the mink
abandoned the duck, which came to the
surface and feebly tried to swim. The
fowl which was easily caught, soon expired
from wound in the neck. Mr.. Hennessy
placed the duck upon the grass within
few feet of his work, and while
yet meditating upon the prospects Of rich
stew from his unexpected capture, his at
tention was again called by the agitation of
the water. He turned in season to zee the
mink in full possession of his bird. The
thief was holly pursued but he hung to his
prey and dexterously evaded every effort
at capture, and finally mysteriously disap-
peared from view. From this object lesson
Mr.. Hennessyis enabled TO fully realize
the transitory nature of all things earthly.

The shallow, silly, sickening bluff" un-
would conceal the disgusting abjectness Of
its cowardly surrender to the Senate and
their common master, the gigantic sugar
trust, is without parallel. Passing free
iron and coal bills with such celebrity stamps
the effort as sham without excuse. They
know full well such bills will not become
law. They simply want the Senate to defeat
them as the Senate will. For what has the
House committed what President Cleveland
termed in his letter "party dishonor and
party outrage?" Not for principle for no
principle is involved. Grover further
characterized this abandonment of party
principle as "party perfidy and party dis
honor" Surely then, the House did not ac-
cede to the hand-to-throat demand of
Senator German because of party principle
nor because of the welfare of the country,
for from their standpoint party principle
and country's welfare ought to harmonic.
Is this result for what the President said
'our country timidly stands and
watches?" Grover begs us to believe
"in my good intentions" If SO what are
we to believe of the intentions of the Demo
cratic House and Senate? The country has
been timidly standing still, watching and
