1--WE come from that wonderful hive or
Industry. that mighty workshop composed
OF pittsburgh and its neighboring boroughs.
we are republicans, and we believe IN our
marty and its principles. We are proud or

the mast and we have faith IN that party
as being the only medium through whieh
we may hope for return or prosperity 10
the people. both In the agricultural and
manufacturing esoi the "no'S N'"''-
try
nize i'm the republican party ana Us pat
form the only real, true and safe advocate
OF that policy. namely. the use OF poth goiu
and silver as money, each INTERCHANGEABLE
with the other, each dollar as good az
every other dollar. We do not. an1 we ieel
assured that you do not believe In mon-
omctallism, or the use OF either gold or
silver as the only money, ana KNOWING
this. we know you Will and must oppose
the visionary ideas of those who would
seek 10 create value by the legislative nat
of this nation alone, and the attempts or
hose who seek 10 place US upon the single
silver basis, thereby driving our gold out OF
circulation and out Of the country we
believe you Will use all OF the powers you
may possess as the chief executive or the
United States 10 bring about. by Internal
tional agreement. which Is the only man
ner I'm which Il can be accomplished, the
restoration OF silver as money metal on
Ned ratio with gold.
I'VE believe. sir that wise legislation on
the tariff question, on the principle OF pro-
lection, and 10 the end that IL Will yield an
abundant revenue for the expenses OF tho
government. for the payment OF It's debts.
for the Improvement OF our river ana
harbors, for the upbuilding OF orr navy ana
for internal improvements OF various
kinds will restore our country 70 great
prosperity and Will solve the money prob
lem about which so many OF oui people
seem 10 he concerned.
I'VE recognize IN yourpublic career and In
| your private life those noble qualities OF
mind and heart that give US the assurance
| that the great interests OF this country
over which you will shortly be called 20
preside. will be IN safe hands. and that you,
trusting In the strength and guided by
| the councils OF the Supreme Ruler OF ma
tons will be able 20 discharge the grave
responsibilities and the executive duties
OF your high office, so as 70 lead us as 2
people into the higher paths OF duty and
