A Protective Tariff.

We renew and emphasize our aliegi-
ance to the policy Of protection as the
bulwark OF American Industrial inde-
pendence 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 OF revenue on for
eign goods. It secures the American
market for the American producer; II
upholds the American standard OF
wages for the American workingman;
It puts the factory by the side Of the
farm. and makes the American farmer
less dependent on foreign demand and
price: II diffuses general thrift and
POUNDS the strength OF all on the
strength OF each. In its reasonable ap-
plication It is just, fair. and impartial,
equally opposed to foreign control and
domestic monopoly, to sectional dis
elimination 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 will 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 1t wants rest.
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1896-10-22
Reciprocity With Other Nations.

We believe the repeal Of the reci-
procity arrangements negotiated by the
last Republican administration was a
national calamity. and we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as will equalize 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-established. 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 daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1896-10-22
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 Populist mis-
management and misrule. Such are the
principles and policies Of the Republl-
can party. By these principles we viii
abide and these principles we viii put
into execution. We ask for them the
considerate 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.

Declaration Of Principles
REPUBLICAN PARTY.

The Republicans Of the United States.
assembled by their representatives In
National Convention, appealing for the
popular and historical justification Of
their claims TO the matchless achieve
menis Of thirty years Of Republican
rule. earnestly and confidently address
themselves 10 the awakened intelll-
gence, experience and conscience OF
their countrymen In the following dec
laration OF facts and principles:
For the first time since the Civil
War the American people have wit
messed the calamitous consequences Of
full and unrestrained Democratic con-
troll OF the Government. II has been
a record OF unparalleled incapacity. dis
honor and disaster. In administrative
management II has ruthlCssly sacriflc-
ed indispensable revenue. entailed an
unceasing deficit. eked out ordinary
current expenses with borrowed money.

ance OF trade. 10 a perpetual menace
hanging over the redemption fund.
pawned American credit TO allen syn
dlcates and reversed all the measures
and results Of successful Republican
rule. In the broad effect Of its policy
II has precipitated panic. blighted in
dustry and trade with prolonged de-
preston. closed factories. reduced work
and wages. halted enterprise and Grip
pied American production while stimu-
lating foreign production for the Amer
lean market. Every consideration OF
public safety and individual interest
demands that the government shah be
rescued from the hands OF those who
have shown themselves incapable Of
conducting II without disaster at home
and dishonor abroad. and shall he re-
stored TO the party which for thirty
years administered 1t with unequaled
success and prosperity.

The Financial Issue.

1.-THE Republican party Is unreserv-
edly for sound money. II caused the
enactment Of the law providing for the
resumption OF specie payments in 1879;
since then every dollar has been as
good as gold. We are unalterabiy op-
posed TO every measure calculated to de-
base our currency or impair 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
promote. and until such agreement can
be obtained we believe the existing
gold standard must be preserved. All
our silver and paper currency now in
circulation must be maintained at a
parity with gold, and we favor all
measures designed to maintain inviola-
bic the obligations OF the United
States. and all our money. whether coin
or paper. at the present standard. the
standard Of the most enlightened ma
tlons Of the earth"

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
ination. We watch with deep and abid-
ing interest the heroic battle Of the Gu
ban patriots against cruelty and op-
preston. and our best hopes go 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 it's treaty obllgationes, 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.

Pensions for Veterans.

The veterans Of the Union armies de-
serve and should receive fair treatment
and generous recognition. Whenever
practicable they should be given the
preference in the matter Of employ
ment and they are entitled to the en-
actment Of such laws as best ealculat-
ed to secure the fuIhllment Of the
pledges made to them in the dark days
of the country's peril. We denounce
the practice OF the pension bureau SO
recklessly and unjustly carried on by
the present administration. Of reducing
pensions and arbitrarily dropping
names from the rolls, as deserving the
severest condemnation Of the American
people.

Monroe Doctrine.

We reassert the Monroe doctrine in
its full extent and reaffirm the right of
the Unuited States to give the doctrine
effect by responding to the appeals of
any American state for friendly inter
vention in case Of European encroach-
ment. We have not interfered, and
shall not interfere, with the existing
possessions Of any European power in
this hemisphere. but those possessions
must not on any pretext, be extended.
We hopefully look forward to the
eventual withdrawal Of the European
powers from this hemisphere, and the
ultimate union of all the English
speaking part of the continent by the
free consent Of its inhabitants.
