FLANK on rsE MONEY STANDARD.

Stands for Gold Until International Agree
ment Can he Reached.
"The Republican party renews its pledge
for the protection Of all American indus
tries against foreign competition and de-
clares its faith that the supremacy of the
United States among the nations is the
result Of such n policy. We believe in
liberal reciprocity and just relation, 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
arrangements negotiated by the last Re
publican administration was a national
calamity and demand their renewal and
extension on 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 sectfre new markets for the
products of our farms, forests and fac
tories.
I'VE favor restoring the early American
policy Of discriminating duties for the up
building of our merchant marine and the
protection Of our shipping in the foreign
carrying trade, SO that American ship
ping the product OF the American labor
employed in American ship yards, sailing
under the stars and stripes, and manned,
Differed and owned by Americans may
regain the carrying Of our foreign COM
merce.
The Republican party is unreservedly
for sound money. 1t caused the enact
ment of the law providing for the resump-
ton Of specie payments in 1879; since then
every dollar has been as good as gold.
I'VE are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our cur
rcncy. or impair the credit Of our country.
We are, therefore. opposed to the free
coinage Of silver except by international
agreement with tie leading commercial
nations Of the world, which we pledge
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1896-06-17

ourselves to promote; and until such
agreement can be obtained the existing
gold standard must be preserved. All our
silver and paper currency now in circula-
tion must be maintained at parity with
gold, and we favor all measures designed
to maintain inviolably the obligations of
the United States and all our money,
whether coin or paper, at the present
standard-the standard of the most en-
lightenesf nations of the earth"
The next plank IL one demanding pro.
lection far the sugar interests Of the south
and is followed bythe foreign plank, which
contains a declaration for the protection
of American citizen abroad; reaf1irms the
position Of the party in favor of the Mon.
roe doctrine; indorses the administration
of President Harrison on the attitude Of
this country toward Hawaii; demands
protection for American missionaries in
Armenia: expresses sympathy for the
Cubans in their war for Independence and
takes q position in favor OF awarding to
them beiligerent rights.
Civil service reform is approved and the
extension of the principle wherever prac-
ticable is advocated. Tho use of public
money for sectarian purposes and the
union of church and state are opposed. A
declaration is made in favor of arbitration
between employees and employe, but no
specific legislation is demanded. A decla-
ration in favor of liberal pensions is made,
and the present administration is do
nounced for dropping from the rolls with
out examination deserving soldiers. The
building of the Nicaragua canal by the
United States government is favored.

alteration in the law which would re-

The Country, Sir Michael said, might
be proud of the enormous revenue. but
it was in his judgment a grave question
whether the expenditure was not in
creasing faster than the permanent ca
pacity of the nation would bear. (Oppo-
sition cheers). If the expenditures in
creased while the revenue was un-
elastic the country would be within a
measured bic distance of having to
choose between putting an end Of the
reduction Of the national debt and an
increase of taxation.
Coming to the receipts and expendi-
lures for the ensuing year he stated that
estimated expenditures were f1O0, ,041,-
OOO, and the estimated revenue f101, =
10000, leaving an estimated surplus
Of t1,7OS, 900, which it was proposed to
apply to the reduction of the maximum
rate on land from four shillings in the
pound to one shilling. 1t was also in
tended to increase the grants for educa-
ton.
In conclusion, the Chancellor of the
ExcheQuer proposed to allot the sum of
t915,OOO to the reduction of the agri-
cultural rating and f433 900 for educa-
tional purposes, leaving a moderate sur
plus for any contingencies that might
arise.

CANADIAN HORSES
VIII be Inspected Upon Their Landing
at Liverpool.

LONDON, April 16.-In consequence
Of the report of the Liverpool Health
Committee representing that the spread
of glanders in horses in that city is due
to the importation of Canadian horses,
the Government will probably order
the inspection of horses upon their
landing at Liverpool and the disinfec-
tion of vessels upon which they ar
rive, but will not otherwise hamper
the trade in imported horses. In
quiries on the part of the authorities
show that glanders have always been
prevalent in Liverpool, but the persons
making the complaints upon which the
Health Committees action was taken
allege that Canadian horses arriving
in Liverpool are often afflicted with pull
monary influenza, which weakens the
English horses by contact with them
and renders them more liable to attacks
Of influenza.
