La convention adopte a!ors lie
programme electoral suivant:
The Republicans of Minnesota, in con-
vention assembled, renew their fealty to
the Republican party, which has brought
honor and prosperity to the nation in the
past and is the hope of the people to re
lieve them from the Democratic distress
of the present. We submit the following
declaration of principles:
We favor the use of both gold and sill
YER to the extent to which they can be
maintained in circulation at a parity in
purchasing and d%ebt.paying power; that
we are earnestly opposed, under the pre-,
sent conditions, to the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, for the manifest re ason
that it would destroy such parity, enor-
mously contract the volume of our cur
rency by forcing gold and silver out OF
circulation and Immediately place us on
a silver basis. Believing salso that it is a
self evident fact that the effect of the in
ternational characterization of silver can
be overcome only by international reno.
n~etization of that metal, the Republican
party of Minnesota most heartily favors
an international conference for that pur.
pose.
The Republicans of Minnesota, In con-
vention assembled, rejoice in the near ap-
proach of the day when, with the restora-
ton Of the Republican party to power in
all branches of the government, will re-
turn the prosperity which terminated in
1892. In the languageof him whose mem
ory is enshrined in every Republican
heart, we are in favor Of "tarif duty on
foreign i%mportations producing sufficient
revenue for the support of the govern
ment and SO adjusted as to protect Ameri-
can industries" We demand the restora.
ton of the principle of r~eciprocityas a ma
tional policy and favor as the logical cor
relative Of our protective tariff laws such
treaty stipulations with foreign countries
as will provide a profitable market for our
surplus. products and enable us to buy
from them on terms unusually advanta-
geous.
The Republicans of Minnesota assert
their belief in the policy of the United
States as declared by James Monroe and
every one of our statesmen since. They
also declare their conviction that The
people of Cuba ought to be recognized
as belligerents. Believing thoroughly in
the doctrine of arbitration between Ia
lions, we..advocate q sufficient system of
coasts defense and such other naval and
military preparations as will surely make
able to ecure peace by OF manifest
.invincibility in war.
