if ON foreign imports which come into
competition with American products as
will not only furnish adequate revenue
for the necessary expenses of the gov
eminent, but will protect American
labor from degradation and the wage
level of other lands. We are not pledg-
ed to any particular schedule. The
question of rates is a practical ques-
ton TO be governed by the condition of
the time and cf production. The rul-
ing and uncompromising principle is
the protection and development of
American labor and industry.
WANTS A REST.
1.-THE country wants a right settle
ment and then 1T wants rest.
THE Republican, party renews its
pledge for the protection of all Ameri-
can industries against foreign compe
tition, and declares it's faith that the
supremacy of the United States among
the nations is the hesult of such a
policy. We believe in liberal recipro
city and just retaliation, and demand
the application of the golden rule of
commerce to all future legislation af-
fecting the tariff and the foreign trade.
We believe the repeal Of the reciprocity
arrangement negotiated by the last Re-
publican administration was a. national
calamity, and demand their renewal
and extension of such terms as will
equalize Our trade with other nations
and remove the restrictions that now
obStruct the sale of American products
in the ports of Europe, and secure new
markets for the products of our
FARMS, FORESTS AND FACTORIES.
I'VE favor restoring the early AmeTi-
can policy of discriminating duties for
the upbunding of our merchant marine
and the protection of our shipping in
the foreign carrying trade, South Am
erican shipping, the product of Ameri-
can labor, employed in American ship
yards, sailing under the stars and
stripes, and manned, Differed and
own.sd by Americans, may regain the
carrying of our foreign commerce.
The following is the financial plank
adopted:
THE Republican party is unreservedly
| for sound money. 1t caused the enactment
of the law providing for the resumption
/ of specie payments in 1879; since then ev
cry dollar has been as good as gold.
I'VE are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our cur
rency, or impair the credit of our coun
try. We are, therefore, opposed to
free coinage of silver except by interna
tional agreement with the leading com
mercial nations of the world, which W.
pledge ourselves to promote, and unit
listing gold standard must be preserved
AL our silver and paper currency now II
circulation must be maintained ait
parity with gold, and we favor all meas
ures designed to maintain inviolable tn,
obligations of the United States and al
our money, whether coin or paper, at tbs
present standard, the standard of tn,
most enlightened nations of the earth
Senator Teller offered a free coinag'
resolution as a substitute, which wa.
voted down.
THE FOREIGN PLANK,
drawn by Senator Lodge, is general in
its nature, outlining a policy in regard
to all current foreign questions. II
contains a declaration for the protsc-
ton of American citizens abroad; re-
affirms the position of the party in
favor of the Monroe doctrine; endorses
the administration of President Har-
rison ON the attitude of this country
toward Hawaii demands protection
for American missionaries in Armenia
expresses sympathy for the Cuban5 in
their war for independence, and takes
a position in favor of awarding t.
them belligerent rights.
Civil service reform is approved ant
the extension of the principle urged
whenever practicable. The use of public
money for sectarian purposes and tht
union of church and state are opposed
A declaration is made in favor of aTbi
tration between employed and employ
err, but no specific legislation is de
manded.
A declaration is made in favor Of
liberal pensions, and the present ad
nlfnistration is denounced for dropping
from the rolls, without examination
deserving soldiers.
