4 Protective Tarih.

We renew and emphasize our allegi-
anee to the policy OF protection as the
hulwark of American Industrial indie
pcndence and the foundation Of Amer
lean development and prosperity, This
true American policy taxes foreign pro-
ducts and encourages home industry;
II puts the burden ot revenue on for
eign goods. II secures the American
market for the American producer; Il
upholds the American standard OF
wages for the American workingman;
Il puts the factory by the side OF the
farm. and makes the American farmer
less dependent on foreign demand and
price; It dirruses general thrift and
POUNDS the strength Of all on the
strength OF each. In It's reasonable APP
plIcatlon II is Just. fair. and impartial.
equally opposed to foreign control and
domestic monopoly, TO sectional dis
and individual favoritism.
We denounce the present Democratic
tariff as sectional. injurious to the pub
lie credit and destructive to business
enterprise, We demand such equitable
tariff on foreign imports which come
into competition with American pro-
ducts as will not only furnish adequate
revenue for the necessary expenses OF
the government but viii protect Amer
lean labor from degradation TO the
wage level OF other lands. We are not
pledged to any particular schedules.
The question OF rates Is a practical
question. to be governed by the condI-
tions OF the time and production; the
ruling and uncompromising principle
Is the protection and development OF
American labor and industry. The
country demands a right settlement
and then II wants rest

Reciprocity With Other Nations.

We believe the repeal Of the reel
procity arrangements negotiated by the
last Republican administration was a
national calamity and we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as will equallze our trade with
other nations. remove the restrictions
which now obstruct the sale OF Amer
lean products in the ports Of other
countries and secure the enlarged mar
kets OF our farms, forests and factories.
Protection and reciprocity are twin
measures OF Republican policy, and go
hand in hand. Democratic rule has
recklessly struck down both. and both
must be re-establlshed. Protection for
what we produce, free admission for
the necessaries Of life which we don't
produce, reciprocal agreements Of mu-
tual interest which gain open markets
for us in return for our open market to
others. Protection builds up domestic
industry and trade and secures our
own market for ourselves. Reciprocity
builds up foreign trade and finds an
outlet for our surplus.

The Financial Issue.

"Thc Republican party II unrescrv-
edly Tor sound money II caused the
enactment o. the law providing for the
resumption ot specie payments In 1879;
since then every dollar has been aa
good IA gold We are unalterably OPP
posed 10 every measure calculated TO dc.

OF our country, We are, therefore, op.
posed to the free coinage ot silver, ex-
ccpt by International agreement with
the leading commercial nations OF the
world Which we pledge ourselves 10
promote. and until such agreement can
be obtained wo believe the oxlstlng
gold standard must be preserved, All
our silver and paper currency now In
circulation must be maintained at n
parity with gold. and We favor all
measures designed 10 maintain inviola-
Bile the obligations OF the United

FREE SILVER AND WAGES.

Four years ago the workingmen were
urged to vote for low tariff, on the plea
that if the tariff wall" were broken
down, our manufacturers with free raw
material would capture the markets
Of the world that they would be able
TO employ more labor; that this al
legged increased demand for labor would
cause a rise in wages; that the low
tariff would enable them to buy the
necessaries Of life cheaper; and they
therefore be more prosperous.
We do not need to explain the fall
lacy of this argument Every work
ingman knows all about it, from dear
experience.
The same sort Of sophistry is being
used this year to delude the working
man into voting for free silver. We
have before us a screed written by an
individual in this city, which ,Fehearses
the old story of four. years ago. He
tells the workingman that free silver
will give employment to a million more
men in the silver mines; that we will
also get the markets of the silver
countries. thereby making a greater
demand for our own products; that
more men being employed will increase

Rights of Women.

The Republican party is mindful OF
the rights and interests Of women. Pro-
lection OF American industries Includes
equal opportunities. equal pay for equal
work and protection to the home. We
favor the admission OF women to wider
spheres OF usefulness, and welcome
their cooperation In rescuing the coun-
try from Democratic and Popullst mis-
management and mlsrulo. Such are the
principles and policies OF the Rcpubll-
can party. by these principles we viii
abide and these principles we viii put
Into execution. We ask for them the
consIderatc judgment OF the American
people.
Confident alike In the history OF our
great party and In the justice Of our
cause, we present our platform and our
considerations, In the full assurance
that the election will bring victory to
the Republican party and prosperity to
the people OF the United States.

Independence of Cuba.

From the hour OF achieving their own
independence the people Of the United
States have regarded with sympathy
the struggles Of other American peoples
to free themselves from European DOM
inatlon. We watch with deep and abld-
Ing interest the heroic battle Of the Gu
ban patriots against cruelty and op-
preston. and our best hopes 20 out for
the full success Of their determined con-
test for liberty.
The government Of Spain, having lost
control OF Cuba and being unable TO
protect the property or lives OF resi-
dent American citizens or to comply
with its treaty oblIgatlones, we believe
that the government Of the United
States should actively use its influence
and good offices to restore peace and
give independence to the island.

1t is astonishing how the turgid soph-
Istries Of Bryan's speeches melt away
before the simple statements Of Nc
Kinley's letter and tbs clear. convinc-
ing argument Of ex-President Harri-
sons address. Even the dullest can
now see that when Bryan talks about
the powe- and resources Of the govern
ment in connection with the value Of
the silver dollar under free coinage, he
Is either attempting to mislead unthink-
ing people or else proclaims himself a
shallow, unthinking man. The silver
dollar we now have-although worth
but little more than fifty cents-is equal
in purchasing power to 100 cents in
gold because the government is pledg-
ed by law TO maintain this parity with
gold. Under free coinage, as the very
expression signifies, this prop would be
removed, since it is the measure with
gold Of which the silver advocate COM
plains and seeks by free coinage to

the payment Of such existing debts as
are stipulated to be paid in gold it

prices and ,hs readjustment Of values
which would follow legal tender dol
lar worth only half as much as the
one now used in trade would produce
a panic such as the country has never
yet seen. This even Mr. Bryan him
self has several times admitted. When

Interference and disruption Of business,
and settled down to the new basis, if
We ever did. we would be just where
We started without one particle Of gain
to anybody but dishonest debtors and
the silver miners whose product the
mints had in the meanwhile coined.

Bryan manages to obtain a respectful
hearing from Eastern audiences by a
sort OF parade and false pretense Of
great sincerity in his labOred defense OF
the Altgeld platform. but his Western
managers continue their efforts to de-
Iude ignorant voters by inventing and
circulating the most monstrous lies and
fake statistics concerning the money
question. Among their earlier efforts
along this line were the publication Of
the forged statement purporting 10
have come from Abraham Lincoln. and
a garbled extract from one OF Blaine's
speeches. Now the Populist press Is
reeking with comments on a pretended
quotation from The London Financial
News" OF March 10, in which the loss
OF British trade with South America,
China, and Japan was forecast as a
consequence OF national folly in allow
ing the United States to get ahead Of
England in the adoption Of bimetallism.
The alleged extract itself has been sent
out 10 Democratic-Populist journals in
all the Western states. 1t is pronounc-
ed forgery by THE Financial News"
of August 12 which refers explicitly to
it, and says: mo such article was
ever printed by us, and its whole tenor
is directly opposed to the view we have
taken Of the effect Of free silver in the
United States. SO far from advocating

This is quite as fallacious as the t,se
trade argument Of 1899, But there is a
statement by a Southern Democrat
made few days ago in New York city,
which tells the truth about the matter
The Southerner is an advocate OF free
silver and this is the argument he
uses to show why the Democratic party
should adopt 1t;

vor the widest possible trade, We want
to push our products into all the mar
kets OF the world, and the only thing
which stands in the way Of our doing
so is the high price ot labor,
"EverythihS that we grow and make
las coale down In p,ice. But while
everything else has declined In cost,
our labor still sticks at the old prices,
and there doesn't seem to be any way
TO bring labor down except through
some sort of protracted revolution,

question iE an .,,ur. II wouldn't ad-

Put IL free silver were adopted, We
would pay labor in ffty-cent dollars
That would cut labor in half at once
thus fetching it down to the plane of
everything else.
This accomplished. we would be in
shape to successfully compete with any
country for the markets Of the world.
Therefore. can't see why our uarty
does not at once and entirely endorse
free silver. because by so doing we
should be able 10 establish our COM
mercial supremacy among the nations
OF the earth"
The only reason our manufacturers
cannot compete in the markets Of the
world" with Great Britain, Belgium.
and other manufacturing nations OF
Europe. is because wages are higher
here. The main factor in cost Of pro-
duction is the wages Of labor. Cut that
In two. and we can undersen Great
Britain and any other country except
Japan.
The prosperity Of the nation depends
on the buying ability OF the masses Of |
the people-the workingmen. Free sill
yer will cut wages practically in two,
That will mean that our people must
live on much lower and more econom-
ical scale. Let any man now receiving
regular wages figure out how he could .
