south, from peanuts to whlsKey, are care
fully protected. while the duties on tne
great staple industries OF the nortn are
largely reduced, and on some arucles'
like wool. are entirely repealed. we de-
maIld a reform III the tarlif, not TO pro-
mote sectional interests but TO secure
ample revenues and impartial proteGtloh
to domestic industry. THIS we can nave
only lsy the election of Republican
president. We want change ana ior
this change we will have the hearty sup
port of large part of the Democratic
party.
We are in favor of sound national
currency, always redeemable IN com. All
forms of money should be OF equal pur-
chasing power. For fourteen years alter
the resumption of specie payments. while
the Republican party was in power, we
had such a currency. We had gold, sii
yer and paper money, all bearing the
stamp and sanction OF the uniteu states;
of unquestioned credit ana OF equai
value passing current not only WITHIN
the United States but in all parts OF the
commercial world. Both gold ana SILVER
are INDISPENSABLE for use IN the varied
wants Of mankind. Gold IS now, ana mas
been for ages. the chief measure OF vaiue
in international commerce ana the larger
transactions of domestic exchanges. Sll-
YER from its bulk and weight, is not
available for large payments. either at
nome or abroad, but IL is Indispensable
for the minor wants of mankind. "oid'
from its great superior value, cannot oe
used for such purposes. therefore 10 Is
that both metals have been colheu lhto
money at fixed ratio. The enormous
increase of production OF silver IN the
United States, Mexico and Australia has
disturbed this ratio and has lowered the
market value of silver, precisely as IKE
increase of production has lowered tne
price of other commodities. 1t is UNI
- \. vol :
by quantity. Under these condltiohs'
the rational and proper course would De
torchange the ratio, but this can only be
effected as to these two metals by con-
certed action among the colAmefclai
nations. Until this can tie accom- mpilsneo
the only logical way is Tor each natioh 10
coin both metals and MAINTAIN the com
age of the cheaper metal at par by llnl-
tation of amount and redemption when
in excess of the demand for it. Such is
now the policy of the United States. and
of every great commercial nation, lhciud-
ing every country IN Europe.
The policy now urged by the producers
of silver. and by men who wish to pay
their debts in cheaper money than they
promise to pay is the free coinage oil sill
yer. This means the single standard OF
silver and the decentralization OF golu.
This is the only monometdlllc system: III
is the degradation of our dollar to fifty
cents. If applied to our national bonds
it is a reputation of one-haf OF the pub
lie debt. 1t is the reputation OF one
half of all debts. 1t confers no favors
on producers of any kind, whether OF the
farm, the work shop or the mlne, Tor II
thew get nominally more dollars Tor their
nroductfons their additional dollar would
have only half the purchasing power
of the gold dollars. The great hardship
of this policy would fall upon working
men. skilled or unskilled, whose daily
wages, measured by the present standard,
is higher than in any country OF the
world. Their wages will purchase more
of the necessities of life than the wages
paid for sim liar labor anywhere outside
of the United States. 1t is false pre-
tens, that the cbeapening OF money Will
be benectiial to them.
The Republican party, in its national
platform OF 1892, demanded good money,
of equal purchasing power. whether
coined of silver or gold. composed OF
United States notes and national bank
notes, based on the credit OF the United
States. maintained at par with coin.
This is the bimerallic policy. There we
stand today.
hore and trust there we will stand tor-
ver We Will seek the CO. operation of all
nations and OF ali parties1 n2m maintaining
the parity of gold and silver coins. III
they will not cooperate with u in this
policy, the Republican party eau. and
hope will, do it alone. Good money and
plenty OF it is as important TO our peo-
pie as equaity of rights andiprivileges.
Let us. then. with firm reliance upon
the PRINCIPLES, policy and wisdom of the
great party to which we belong, nomi-
nate our candidate and declare our plat
FORM and then make our appeal to the
intelligence the people of Ohio. In all
the great issues made i'll the last forty
years the Republican party of Ohio has
had the courage to propose and do what
is right. Let us now follow in the same
pathway, and we will not only elect a
Republican governor ard state officers,
but also another Republican senator. and
/ hope. a president of the United States
from the state OF Ohio.
On the arrival of delegates from Gen.
trail and Southern Ohio this afternoon it
was evident the factional contest would
light it out on Bushnell or Nash for gov
ernor. All the candidates, including
Hoyt, concede they have no chance unit
it is demonstrated that neither Bushnell
nor Nash can be nominated. Ez-Gover-
nor Foraker marched up the street at the
head of the Union county delegation this
afternoon, after which "a Bushnell boom
was the feature of the day. Meantime
additional delegations arrived for Nash,
and the contesting of every point was
made in the district meeting at > p. M.
On the sixth ballot General Asa A.
Bushnell was nominated, receiving sos
votes; Nash, POI; Hoyt, IL; necessary
20, choice, 4l9.
