Voiced by Platform,

1.-The Republican convention of the Sew
cath congressional district congratulates it's
constituents upon the improved outlook for
party success in the district and in the state
at the coming election, a condition result
ing from the wisdom and faithfulness of the
Republicans in congress and contributed to
in no small degree by the lack of these
cardinal virtues on the part of the De-
mocracy. We believe that the present un-
happy industrial condition of the country
is in great part due to the threat and pur-
pose of the Democratic party to destroy the
American system of protection, and we
hereby reaffirm and favor the principles of a
protective tariff as expressed in the last
Republican state PLATFORM.
'Resolved, That we firmly believe that
the interests of the COUNTRY, it's farmers
and workirgmen, alike demand that every
dollar, whether Of paper or coin, issued by
the government, shall be as good as any
other dollar.
''Rcsoived, That we are in favor of the
largest possible use of silver as money that
is consistent with the permanent mainte-
nance Of e1oal values Of Ill dollars in circu-
latlon. We Go not want monometallism eth
er Of gold or silver, and we pledge ourselves
to Continue the work Of binetalli&m to be
brought about by all fit ul.ans within the
power of the government.
Recognizing that the enrloymrnt Of both
capital and labor is necessary for the Tea re
and prosperity of our people, we hereby re-
aihrm the principle relating 70 the labor
question rs sent fort, in the III para
graph of the last Republican plat fSrm.'
