two millions had been charged to profit
and loss. for the purpose of providing
for all shrinkages which could then be
anticipated in the liquidation of old
matters. Much has been accomplished
in the year just closed in liquidating
old and slow assets. and the condition

This is a week of attractions in New
Haven and not the least talked OF
these is the cat show which opens to.
day in the old Union arnlory. 1t will
continue four days, and there are nine.
ty-two entries.
They include number Of remarkable
and distinguished cats from Massachu-
setts, Rhode Island, New York. and
Pennsylvania. Some will be exhibited
because of their personal attractive
ness, some because of their personal
ugliness, some because of their extra
long hair, some because their hair is
short, some because of deforrnity, and
some because of q varied experience
in the line of accidents. There will be-
plebeian cats and patrician cats: cats

Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-06-19

ty years of republican rule as good
grounds to appeal to the American peo-
ple' The four years Of unrestricted rule
of the democratic party is denounced as
calamitous and record Of incapacity.
An adverse balance of trade, deficit in
the treasury, and piling up of the public
debt and the menace to the redemption
fund is denounced. The effect of the
democratic policy has been to blight in
dustry and has caused a prolonged de-
preston, with disaster at home and dis
honor abroad. Allegiance to protection
is declared. "We are not pledged to any
particular schedule" but the question of
rates should be governed by conditions.
A restoration of discriminating duties
for the upbuilding of the merchant ma
rine is favored. A plank favoring liberal
reciprocity is incorporated and the re-
peal of the reciprocity agreements is
condemned.
The plank on foreign affairs favors
the independence of Cuba and the CON
troll of Hawaii by the United States,
and indorses the Monroe doctrine.
There are planks favoring the exten
sion of civil service reform, declara
tion against the use of money for sec
tartan purposes, in favor Of labor arbi
tration, for liberal pens ions and the
building of the Nicaragua canal by
the United States government.
The following is the financial plank
adopted by tho sub committee: "The
republican party is unreservedly for
sound money. 1t caused the enactment
of laws providing for the resump-
tion of specie payments in 1879;
since then every dollar has been
as good as gold. We are unalterably
opposed to every measure calculated to
debase our currency, rimpair the credit
of our country. We are, therefore, op-
posed to the free coinage of silver, eX-
cept by international agreement with
| the leading commercial nations of the
world, which we pledge ourselves TO pro-
mote, and until such an agreement can
be obtained, the existing gold stand
ard must be maintained at parity
with gold and we favor all measures
designed to maintain inviolably the
obligations of the United States and
our money, whether coin or paper, at
the present standard, the standard of
the most enlightened nations of the
earth"
Senator Teller offered free silver
resolution as substitute, which was
voted down. This will go to the full
committee tomorrow.

THE FINANCIAL RESOLUTION
"Skillfully Avoids Reference by Terms
to Any of the MOOted Ques-
tiOns."

ST.. Louis, June 16-The committees
we're hard at work as soon as the con-
vention adjourned. The shock of battle
which took place in the committee rooms
will thunder and reverberate on the floor
of the convention tomorrow. The action
of the committee on credentials in de-
Gliding in favor of the findings of the
national committee, save in two in
stances, it is believed, will make the con-
vention brief, and many now believe a
final adjournment will be reached Thurs
day. Indications are that the sensational
climax will come tomorrow when the re-
port of the resolutions committee is pre-.
sented. The adoption of the platform is
assured by large majority, but the
radical silver men are expected to carry
the fight to the last ditch.
