The Platform.
We. the Republicans of Vermont in
convention assembled, re-affirm our
adherence TO those principles which
for more than 20 years have kept our
country in the forefront Of the march !
Of civilization. As result Of a tenn
porary departure of the nation from
those principles Of government. as
Iraclised by the Republican parry, we
point 10 the widespread depressi sion, the !
stagnation of business. the |
of thousands of unemployed |
the silent factories. and 1
the intense distrust Of the Democratic |
party, which is evident wherever the
voice OF the voter is heard.
We denounce, a. especially iniu- /
rious to our State, the free wool pro-
vision of the Wilson bin.
We denounce the increase of the |
AK on the poor mans breakfast table.
which is accompanied by decrease
u the tariff on articles Of luxury.
We denounce the Wilson bin a.
sectional in its provisions, as subser-
fient 10 gigantic monopolies, as a
menace TO our varied interests. and we
predict that, if it becomes law. pros
lerity will not return TO our land un-
il the Republican party is again in
lower.
We declare our belief that the re-
zeal Of the federal election law was
lassed in the interests of the fraudu-
ent election methods Of tile Demo-
ratio party.
Weapp- We he strenuous effort, of
'ur Vermont senator's and rrpir sent
tivcsin Congres, to render H. harm
ess a. possible prospective tariff legis-
alton.
We favor the continued and cN-
ended use 81 silver in our circulation.
within the extent Of the ability of the
government to preserve the present
'arity between gold and silver, and
o this end we hail with enthusiasm
II efforts Of the government to OBJ
ain an agreement with all other COM
nercial nations 10 secure the free coin
&c Of silver on any proper ratio.
In Stale affairs, we promise a con-
inuance Of wise economy. where
economy is wise, and liberality where
he best interests Of the State demand
iberality.
We pledge our hearty and enthusi-
site support 10 our candidates this
ay nominated, and we promise that
re will uphold the single hand Of our
allant leaders in the coming contest,
: We're the hands Of Moses in the
filderness, until theyictory is gained.
We pledge ourselves 10 send out 4,
ext September such greeting to our
elbow Republicans all over the land,
: will encourage them TO bend their !
very energy to the practical elimina-
ion of the Democratic party as a fac
)r in national politics.
An important yase.
