"The people Of Ohio, In state convention
assembled congratulate the people OF the

ing glorious national victory In 1896, and de-
clare as 10 lows:
First-we resffirm our adherence to the
principles OF the Republican party as de-
nned by the national convention in 1892,
chief among which are:
A protective tarir which, restoring Aneri-
can wages and American products, shall
prove the highest interests OF American la
borers and American developments while
providing adequate revenue for the use OF
government.
Reciprocity which, while seeking and
gaining the worlds markets for our surplus
products, shall not lower or destroy Ameri-
ean wages, nor surrender our own market to
foreign commodities which can be produced
at home.
Fair elections, based upon free ballot and
an honest count, the safeguard OF American
institutions, the true source Of public au-
thority.
Honest money, consisting Of gold. silver
and paper. every dollar as good as any other
and all backed by the national faith and
honor. Wo faver bimetallism. and demand
the use OF both gold, and silver as standard
money, either in accordance with a ratio
to be liked by an international agreement. II
that can be obtained. or under such restrc-
tions and such provisions. to be determined
by legislation, as will secure the mainten-
ance Of the parity Of values Of the two met
ais, so that the purchasing and debt-paying
power Of the dollar, whether OF silver, gold,
or paper, shall be at all times equal.
Second-We denounce the: present Demo-
cratic administration, whose vicious and
vacillating course has brought us distress at
bone and humiliation abroad. It has in
augurated policy looking toward ultimate
free trade which has deranged business,
crippled our industries, distressed our homes
and dealt labor serious blow. With de-
plorable incompetency It has failed to raise
revenue enough to run the government. and
