The Resolutions.
The resolutions adopted declare as
follows:
'First-We reaffirm 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 American products,
shall prove the highest interests of
American laborers and American de-
velopment, while providing adequate
revenue for the uses of the govern
ment; reciprocity, which, while seeking
and gaining the worlds market for
our surplus products, shall not lower
or destroy American wages, nor sur
render our markets to foreign commo-
dities which can be produced at home.
Fair elections, based upon a free ball
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 any other dollar, and all backed by
the national faith and honor. We
favor bimetallism 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 pro-
visions to be determined by legisla-
ton 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.
Of Course.
'.Second-We denounce the present
Democratic administration, whose
vicious and vacillating course has
brought us distress at home and
humiliation abroad. It has inaugur-
ated a policy looking toward ultimate
ness, crippled our industries, distressed
our homes and dealt labor a serious
blow. With deplorable incompetency,
it has failed to receive revenue enough
to run the government and had to
borrow in less than two years 1852, 000,-
900, mainly to pay ordinary running
expenses and. selling in secret to favor
foreign syndicates, the bonds of the
government at prices far below their
actual value. 1t has lowered the flag
in Hawaii, in an imam erican attempt
to overthrow g. republic and restore a
monarchy, and, with unpatriotic in
difference, has suffered British troops
to land in Nicaragua, in contemptuous
disregard of the Monroe doctrine; by
these and similar acts our country
second IN power and dignity to none,
has suffered a loss Of respect through
out the world.
I'VE denounce the free wool pro-
vision of the present tariff act as an
unjust discrimination against an i'm
portant industry. and demand such,
