The Platform.
The democratic party has been in complete
control of this government for period of the
past eighteen months, and during that time
condition Of affairs confronts the country that
beggars description and causes the people to
look to the future of our nation with diStrust
and uodisguised alarm. Therefore. the repub-
licans of the state OF Missouri present the fol-
lowing declaration Of PRINCIPLES:
We again declare for system of protective
duties, adjusted so that every American re-
source can be developed by American labor, re-
ceGv1ng American wages: and we insist upon
tariff that will accomplish these ends. We
have but to mention the disastrous results that
have followed the mere menace of free trade
conclusive evidence Of the wisdom of the re-
publican policy in the past upon this subject.
We favor the enactment OF laws that will pro-
hibit the immigration OF anarchists. and de-
mand the strict enforcement of the immigra-
tion laws
We reaffirn1 the answering devotion of Mis-
souri, republicans to the supreme sovereign
right of every qualified voter. rich or poor. ma
tive or foreign born black or white, to cast the
free ballot in public election, and to have that
ballot counted as cast. and we condemn all i'm
peiiments under cover of law preventing quail
lied voters from depositing their ballots and
having them counted.
We extend to the people OF Hawaii. in their
struggle to establish and maintain liberal and
free institutions for the government,
hearty sympathy, and we assure them that
the conduct of the present administration in
it's endeavors to force upon them by hostile
menace q corrupt and semi-barbarouS mon
archy. does not meet with the approval of the
American people.
We declare that the interests of all the peo-
pie demand that every dollar paper or coin. is
sued By the government shall be as good as
any other dollar
We favor the largest possible coinage of sill
that is consistent with the permanent
maintenance of equal purchasing and debt
paying power Of all dollars in circulation.
We do not want recommendation OF either gold
or silver. and we pledge ourselves to continue
to work for bimetallism, to be brought about
by all means within the power OF the govern
ment.
The republican party. ever mindful of the
patriotic services and sacrifices of the veteran
soldiers of the republic, reafirms it's position
in favor of Eberality to the nations defenders.
We favor the granting of pensions to all honor
ably discharged Union soldiers and sailors
whose disabilities or necessities justly entitle
them thereto,
And we unqualifiedly condemn the illegal ac-
tion of the pension department Of the party in
