reputation OF One-half Of all debts
1t confers no fapOra on producers,
for if they get nominally more dollars
for their productions their additional
dollars would have only one-ha,f the
purchasing power of the gold dollars.
The great hardship of the policy would
fall upon workingmen, whose daily
wage, measured by the present stand
ard, is higher than in any country Of
the world. Their wages will purchase
more than the wages paid for similar
labor anywhere outside Of the United
States. 1t is false pretense that
THE CHEAPENING OF MONEY
will be beneficial to them. The Re-
publican party in 1892 demanded good
money of equal purchasing power
whether cined of silver or gold
or composed Of United States notes and
national bank notes, based upon the
credit of the United States, maintained
at par with coin This is the bi-metal-
lie policy. There we stand to-day. l
hope and trust there we will stand for
ever.
In all the great issues made in the
last forty years the Republican party
of Ohio has had the courage to propose
and to do what is right Let us now
follow in the same pathway, and we
viii not only elect a Republican Gov
ernOr and State officers, but also an
other Republican Senator, and l hope
a President of the United States from
the State of Ohio.

THE RESOLUTIONS.
The following is the report of the
committee on resolutions, which was
adopted:
We re-afirm our adherence to the
principles of the Republican party as
defined by the National Convention in
1892, chief among which are: a pro-
tective tariff, which restoring Ameri-
can wages and products, shall prove
the highest interests Of American la
borers and American development,
while providing adequate revenue for
the uses of the GOdernment. ReciprO-
city. which. while seeking and gain
ing the worlds markets for our sur
plus products, shall not lower or des-
troy American wages, nor surrender.
our own markets for foreign cOmmo-
dities which can be prOduCted at home.
Fair elections, based upon free bal
lot and an honest count, the safeguard
of American institutions. the true
source of public authority. Honest
money. consisting of gold, silver and
paper, every dollar as good as aey
other dollar, and all backed by the
national faith and honor. We favor
bi-metallism and demand the use Of
both gold and silver as standard
money. either in accordance with a
ratio to be fixed by an international
agreement. if that can be obtained,
or under such restrictions and such
provisions to be determined by legis-
latiOn. as will secure the maintenance
of the parity of values Of the two
metals. so that the purchasing and
debt-paying power OF the dollar,
whether of silver, gold or paper shall
be at all times equal
The second section is a general de-
nunciation of the Democracy in gen
eral and the present administration in
particular.
The remaining sections indorse the
administration of Governor Mckinley
and the doings of the last Legislature;
favor the Nicaragua Canal, and un-
oualifedIy indorse Foraker for the
United States Senate and Mckinley
for President. The final paragraph
reads
I'VE have heard with great sorrow
Of the sudden and untimely death of
Hon. Walter O. Gresham, late Secre-
tarv of State, and we extend to his be-
reaved family our sympathy and con
