"We. the Republicans of the. Sixth con-
grcssionaI district of Minnesota. il, con-
ventron assembled. declare anew our de
votion TO the grand old party al liberty
an progress. and our loyalty to its
principles. We congratulate the people
upon the removal OF the constant hind
rance OF the recuperative forces OF the
country by the adjournment OF the demo
cratic congress, whose coming together
completed the paralysis OF the industries
OF the land begun by the inauguration OF
the democratic president, whose dsliber-
ations aroused the pity of mankind, an1
whose results are satisfactory to no.
body.
eve reaffirm our belief in the great
republican doctrine Of protection to the
American farm. American factory.
American mine and American working
men, the preservation of our home mar
ket for the home producer, the mainte-
nance of a standard OF wages that make
those who earn them the greatest CON
sumers in 4he world. and safe deposito-
ries OF duties and privileges OF American
citizenship; and we coademn the demo-
cratic party for enactirg a tariff law
based upon no principle and embracing
concessions to protection inspired only
b. e sonai, partisan and sectional in
fluences, while striking down the wise
system of reciprocity which had It's
origin in he genius of James G. Blaine
aud its Justification in experience.
Eve believe that the consistent appli-
cation OF protection requires the regula-
ton of imported persons as we'll as
imported goods. and we declare for
radical legislation looking to restric-
tioli OF undesirable Immigration and the
expulsion of anarchists and those who
proclaim themselves enemies OF all So
cietv and government.
"By tradition. interest and conviction
the American people are favorable to
bi:netalism and the republican party of
the United States and of Minnesota IS
definitely pledged thereto i'll its sta te and
national platforms. To that principle
we proclaim our adherence. BimetaL
ism is the equal privilege OF coinage at
government mints Of both gold and sill
yer, and inasmuch as the party is pledged
to that achievement and believing it to
bein the interest of the people. we hereby
demand the certain and speedy accom-
plishment oft under such conditions an
shall insure the parity of the two metals
and their common employ ment as the
ultimate standard money in the cffecting
Of exchanges and payment Of debts.
There is 10 Doubt. that the majority OF
governments OF the world. embracing
many of the commerce creating nations
and especially those whose markets at.
ford the most alluring prospects to our
import trade, would instantly upon our
invitation become parties to an agree
ment providing for the free and equal
coinage of both gold and silver at the
mints OF the associated governments ut
a ratio to lie determined by the same
considerations as those which originally
guided the United States in the choice OF
ratio for our coinage system. A dis
eliminating tariff duty upon imports
from countries refusing to accetIe to the
convention, coupled with the certain
rapid growth of our commerce will,
other bimetalic natioHs. would speedily
secure the cooperation OF hesitating
powers. We abhor and reprcbate the
delusion OF fat money, and declare that
the republican party alone has construc-
tive craftsmanship competent to furnish
the country with safe and sufficient
monetary system.
I'VE demand that free ballot and fair
count shall be granted in every quarter
of the republic and we denounce tie rc-
peal of the federal election laws by the
democratic congress as an attack on the
vital principles of government.
I'VE do not believe that government
ownership of railroads is at the present
time either practicable or desirable, but
we favor the establishment Of a system
of official supervision and control o
railroad construction and operation
and OF audit and iiispection oil railroad
accounts, to the end that: First-Tht
legitimate earning capacity OF road:
shall not be impaired by requirement o
interest or income from watcred stock
and fictitious an sudden changes shal
not be made in the wages Of employees
and terms and conditions of employ
ment: third, that arbitration shall TAX,
the place of violence in the settlement o
disputes; fourth. that iull faith and credit
may be given to the published statement:
OF the financial condition and bushes.
management of roads.
I'VE believe in the enforce Iaent and ex
| tension OF civil service reform, and W,
deRounce the BETRAYAL of that cause b,
President Cleveland and his party.
"The republican party will always b.
just and generous towards the old SOL
diers and sailors and their families, ant
pledges. itself to the redemption OF a
promises made to them IN 1861. w
