State Officers
AND TO ENDORSE M'KINLEY
Senator Sherman Speaks on
the Tariff and Money
Questions.

Tor the purpose OF naming u cduulua'o
for the United States senate as a sue
cessor to Senator Brice, and the choice
of the Republicans in this state Tor
president. The conferences of the del
egates showed that the senatorial and
presidential issues overshadowed the
contests for places on the state ticket.
County delegations held conferences,
II at 2 p. IN. the congressional district
delegations met to ele their vice
presidents and members Of the commit
tees on credentials, resolutions, rules
and permanent organization. 1t Is be-
lieved that ex-Secretary Charles roster
will be chairman of the committee on
resolutions, and that the national plat
form on tariff will be reafirmed with
practically the same plank for gold'
silver and paper currency on a parity.
There is no doubt about the silver men
being unable to get even a concession
on free Coinage.
1t is believed that Senator Sherman
will be continued as permanent chair
man as well as temporary chairman.
Senator Sherman, on taking his seal as
temporary chairman, spoke OH the is
sues before the country. Regarding
the tariff and money questions he SAID:
Favor a Protective Tariff.
We are in favor of a protective tariff.
We had such a tariff. While it was in
force we had prosperity, good times
and money plenty. We had so diversl-
fed our domestic industries that
American labor and American
capital supplied nearly all the
wan of the American people. We
prefer to tax foreign production rather
than our own. We believe that the
policy of protection should be extended
to all productions impartially, to labor
on the farm as we'll as in the workshop.
We are opposed to the policy Of pro
tecting wooden manufacturers and ad'
hitting WOO free. We denonnce q
scheme of taxation which annually in
creases the public debt more than $50,
900, 900. This is the result Of Demo
cratic ascendancy. The tariff law Of
the . last congress 10 partly q copy
of the Mckinley law and generally
q failure. All that is good Of il
was taken from the Mckinley
tariff, and the rest Of it is confessedly
hotch-parch. The supreme court ha'
already disposed of a part Of it. All tn
products of the South, from peanuts t.
whisky, are carefully protected, whil'
the duties On the great staple indus
tries of the North are largely reduced
and on some articles, like wool
are entirely repealed. We demand
/, a reform in the tariff, no
to promote sectional interests, but =
secure ample revenue and impartia
protection to domestic industries. Thi
we can do only by the election OF a Re
publican president. We wants chang
and for this change we will have tn
hearty support of a large portion OF tn
Democratic party. We are in favo
of .
Sound National Currency
always redeemable in coin. All form
of money should be of equal purchas
ing power. For ii years after the re
sumption of specie payments, while tn
Republican party was in power. we ha
such a currency.
We had gold, silver and paper none
all bearing the stamp and sanction {
the United States, OF unquestione
credit and Of equal value, passing GU
rent, not only within the United State
but in all parts of the commerce,
world.
The Republican party in its nations
platform of 1892 demanded good none
Of equal purchasing power, whethe
coined of silver or gold, or composed
United States notes and national ban
notes. based upon the credit Of til
United States, maintained at par wit
coin. This is the bimetallic' polio,
There we stand today. l hope an
trust we will stand there foreve
We will seek the CO : operate
of all nations and parties !
maintaining the parity Of gold and 81
yer coin. II they will not co-opera
with us in this policy, the Republica
party can, and l hope will, do it alon
Good money and plenty Of it is as il
3 portant to all u people as equality
, rights and privileges.
A Let us then, with q firm relian
upon the principles, policy and wisdo
of the great party to which we belon
n nominate our candidate and declare O
q platform, and then make our appeal
the intelligence of the people of Obi
o In all the great issues made in the Ia
40 years the Republican party Of Oh
has had the courage to propose and
70 do what is right. Let III now elect
Republican governor and state Office
:. but also another Republican senate
;. and l hope a president Of the Unit
~ States from the state Of Ohio.
