| In the first paragraph it is declared
| that bimetallism and protection are Vitai
| to the prosperity of the country; tnat
| oriental competition would render pro-
| lection futile with the gold standard:
| Democratic free trade and the gold
| standard are declared to be the causes
| of destruction of values one-half. Bono
| issues are denounced and the blame Tor
| financial conditions is put upon the
| Democracy. The money plank reads
| 1--WE therefore declare that the Tree
| coinage of silver and gold at a ratio OIL
| 16 to 1 is for the time now being OF
| paramount and controlling Importance,
| and the most pressing question connect
| ed with every political duty and action
| The doctrine of bimetallism has never
| been denied by any national Republi-
| san convention, but often asserted, and
| they who now deny 1t are false to the
party, and we still maintain it,. Inter
national bimetallism can only be achieV-
ed through national bimetallism adopted
by the United States. To the mainte-
nance of this principle, as well as the
restoration of silver as money metal,
to the full standard of the constitution,
we as Republicans pledge our most ardu-
Gus and persistent effort"

as is also a discriminating duty in favor
of American bottoms for the protection
of American shipping. Democratic pen

yer in congress and he is declared to be

in public life Of the financial system
which will best promote the comfort and
prosperity of the whole people and the
whole world"

The colored man was first to spill his
blood in the late rebellion. The speaker

ion. he saved the Republican party, and
the nation can only be saved by the
nomination of such man as Reed, ALI
son. Morton, Quay or Collum. The coun-

White House. 1t would have been bet
ter for Tilden to have been seated
than for the rights of the negro to have
been surrendered by Hayes"
