That We reafflrm our loyalty and de-
yotion to the principles OF the party AZ
SGT forth in the platform adopted by
tho national Republican convention in
1892.
That We endorse again with renewed
emphasis the national economic policy
which has promoted and protected the
industrial development OF this country,
which has fostered the farming indus
try, and was never more necessary 70
the general welfare than in this day Of
Democratic prices and declining wages.
As Republicans We believe in fair com.
pensation for labor OF all kinds. whether
OF the factory, the mine, the farm; we
point 10 the difference between the re-
wards Of labor under Republican pro-
lection and threatened Democratic FREQ
trade, and We ask all lovers OF their
country to Join US In rebuking at tho
polls the unpatriotic pa:ty which has
confronted the people with this condi-
ton, happily hitherto unknown TO this
generation.
That We agree with Grover Cleveland,
President OF the United States. that In
the enactment Of the tariff bill passed
by O Democratic Congress Just ad.
| iourned, and which he permitted 10 be-
come law, the party has been guilty
OF perfdy aud dishopor, and with the
Hon. William l. Wilson, that this
same bill, which he voted 10 mako q
law, in house with one hundred Dem
ocratic majority, gives the sugar trust
$40. 100000 OF the peoples money.
That We view with alarm aud con.
Germ the adoption Of policy by Dem
ocratic administration that forces the
country to do its business on basis Of
lower prices, lower wages, profits and
incomes; that cuts down the ability Of
| the people to consume, and therefore
lessons production, and will throw
thousands Of people out OF employment
This policy the Republican party OPP
poses with Its now long tried and sue
cessful policy Of plenty for all the poo
pie.
That wo believe in good prices, good
wages, active business, Increased con-
sumption and increased production,
and condemn the strange political doc.
trines OF tho Democratic party, which.
while claiming that the necessaries OF
life will be cheaper, put it out OF the
power OF the people to secure these nee
cessaries for tho want OF means Of EN-
ployment.
We believe that tho American mar.
kcts should DO first for the use and bone
tlt OF the American people. In paying
for products OF our country we have
both tho product and tho money at
home, while II we buy abroad We have
only the property purchased anu tho
money goes abroad to benefit other
people.
We denouuce as false the doctrine
proclaimed by Grover Cleveland, Will
| liam L. Wilson and other leaders Of the
Democratic party that 1t ia wise and
best for this country, in order to secure
cheaper products. that the people
should work for lower wages. The Re-
publican party believes in good wages
and fair remuneration for days work
as being tho best way to promote q
higher and more prosperous ciViliza'
| ton.
That coal, iron orc. lumber, wool and
salt, being tho chief products OF the
state OF Wcst Virginia, upon the dovel-
opment Of which depends the prosperity
| OF the state, We denounce tho recent
efforts and declared intention OF the
Democratic party to place these articles
on tho FREQ list, thereby dividing our
homo market for tho same with other
countries, as au outrage upon tho people
Of West Virginia, and We declare that II
the Democracy succeeds in it's purposes
TO place these articles upon the free list
and TO allow them to come into tho
| United States unrestricted 1t will retard
the prosperity OF the state, paralyze its
| industries and throw Thousands OF wage.
earners out OF employment
That as Americans, loyal to our coun-
try and our state. we cxhort oil good
citizens to bear in mind tho declaration
OF renewed and continued war on our
industries as made by the Democratic
President and other lenders OF the
Democratic party; not satisfied with the
havoc they have wrought they have
declared war OF industrial extermina-
ton on tho limo OF free trade.
That we declare as Republicans that
we arc in favor OF protection to the in
dustries and in favor OF American wage
earners and good wages as against
those OF other countries.
That tho appointment to high Offices
of persons who made large money con-
tributions to the Democratic committee
during the campaign has brought
shame and scandal upon our country.
That the foreign policy Of the present
administration has been characterized
by mistakes and follies from the begin
ming until now, especially 30 in the
treatment OF tho Hawaiian question,
where all the efforts OF the admins
tration wero directed toward destroying
a republic and restoring monarchy.
We leplore the fact that for the first
time in tho history OF the republic trusts
and combines, home aud foreign, and
especially tho Nova Scotia coal syndi-
cato aud the sugar and whisky trusts.
under tho plea Of thrift OF reform,
soized upon and controlled the house

ensure enormous illegitimate profits at
the expense of the people. In support
