Following is the financial, plank Of the
platform We believe in the
use Of gold and silver as money
metals, TO be maintained in cir
culation on perfect equality and inter
convcrtibility. We recognize the so-called
silver question as one Of the paramount
issues of the day, and believe
that the people Of this state and country
can, and do look TO the Republican
party, the party Of ability and progress,
as the only party that can give a wise and
adequate solution Of this problem We,
therefore, pledge the Republican party of
! Michigan TO use every effort in its power
10 restore 10 silver its historic position in
the United States as money metal We
| pledge this in the belief that permanent
! prosperity will not be assured or Justice
done till silver takes its place side by side
| with gold as one Of the two great money
metals Of the world.
Upon the tariff the platform SAYS:
! I'VE reaifrm our adherence and in
| creased devotion to the American doctrine
| of protection. We believe that the pres
cnt unhappy industrial condition of our
! country is in great part due to the threat
and purpose Of the Democratic party
/ to destroy the American system of pro.
! lection.
1--WE believe that all articles which can
not be produced in the United States, ex.
cept Injuries, should be admitted free OF
! duty, and that Oh all imports coming in
competition with the products Of Ameri-
can labor, there should be duties levied
! equal to the difference between wages
! abroad 0nd wages at home
we believe that the doctrine of re-
ciprocity as advocated by that match
less statesman, James G. Blaine, should.
under our protective system, be the policy
of our government and applied in our
trade relations with other nations
