PLATFORM IN FULL.
ST. Louis, June 1S.-Following is the full
text of the platform adopted Thursday by
the national republican convention:
THE republicans of the United States,
assembled by their representatives in ma
lar and historical Justification of their
claims to the matchless achievements of
80 years of republican rule, earnestly and
confidently address themselves to the
awakened intelligence, experience and con-
science of their countrymen in the follow
Ing declaration of facts and principles:
the American people have witnessed the
calamitous consequences of full and I'M
restricted democratic control of the gov
eminent. 1t has been record of unparal-
leled incapactty, dishonor and disaster In
administrative management it has ruth

Gates, and reversed all the measures and
results of successful republican rule. In
the broad effect of its policy it has pre-
cipitated panic, hlighted industry and
factories. reduced work and wages, halted
enterprise, and crippled American produce

for the American market.
"Erycry consideration public safety
and individual interest demands that the
government shall be rescued from the
incapable to conduct it without disaster
at home and dishonor abroad, and shall
be restored to the party which for 80 years

heartily indorse the wisdom, the patriot
ism and the success of the administration
of President Harrison.
Tariff.
we renew and emphasize our allie
glance to the policy of protection a s the bull
warls of American industrial independence
ment and prosperity. This true American
policy taxes foreign products and encour-
ages home industry; 1t puts the burden OF

Queer; it upholds the American standard
Of wages for the American workingman;
1t puts the factory by the side of the farm,
and makes the American farmer less de-
pendent on foreign demand and price; it
diffuses general thrift, and Pounds the
strength Of all on the strength of each.
In its reasonable application it is just, fair
and impartial, equally opposed to foreign
control and domestic monopoly, to sec
tional discrimination and individual favor

I'VE denounce the present democratic
tariff as sectional, injurious to the public
credit, and destructive to business enter

on foreign imports which come into COM
