The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1896-06-29

The American people hold the financial
honor OF our government as sacred as our
flag. and can be relied upon TO guard 1t
with the Game sleepless vigilance. They
hold Its preservation above party fealty,
and have often demonstrated that party
ties avail nothing when the spotless
credit OF our country is threatened. The
money OF the United States and every
kind of form of 1t. whether of paper.
silver or gold, must be as good as the
best in the world. It must not only be
current at its full face-value at home, but
IL must be counted ct par In any.and
every commercial center OF the globe.
The sagacious and far-seeing policy OF the
great men who founded our government,
the teachings and acts OF the wisest
hnanciers at every stage in our history,
the steadfsst faith and splendid achieve
ments OF the great party to which we be-
long, and the genius and integrity of
our people have always demanded this
aud will ever maintain IL. The dollar
paid TO the farmer, the wage-earner and
the pensioner must continue forever equal
in purchasing and debt-payiDg power to
the dollar paid to any government cred
itor. The contest this year, will not
be waged upon lines of theory and specu-
lation, but in the light of severe practical
experience and new and dearly acquired
knowledge. The great body OF our
citizens know what they want and that
thew intend to have. They know for
what the Republican party stands, and
what its return TO power means TO them.
They realize that the Republican party
believes that our work should be done at
home and not abroad, and everywhere
proclaim their devotion TO the principles
of n protective tariff, which, while sup
plying adequate revenues for the govern
ment, will restore American production
and serve the best interests OF American
labor and development. Our appeal.
therefore, is not to false philosophy or
vain theories but TO tho masses OF the
American people, the plain practical peo-
pie whom Lincoln loved and trusted and
whom the Republican party has always
faithfully striven TO serve.
The platform adopted by the Republi-
can National Convention has received my
careful consideration and has my un-
qualified approval. 1t Ia matter OF
qualification 10 me as ev sure it must be
TO you and Republicans everywhere and
TO all our people that the expression of
It's declaration OF principles arc SO di-
rect, clear and emphatic. They are too
plain and positive to leave any chance for
doubt or question as TO their purport or
meaning. But you will not expect me TO
discuss its provisions at length or in any
detail at this time. 1T will, however, be
my duty ana pleasure al some fnture
day 10 make to you and through you TO
the great party, you represent, moro
formal acceptance of the nomination
rendered me. No one could be more pro-
founGedly grateful than for manifesto
tions of public confidence OF which you
have 80 eloqc emily spoken.
1t shall by my aim TO ottest this apprc-
citation be nh unspsring devotion to
what esteem the hest interests OF the peo-
m 4
and support Of YOU gentlemen and of
every other friend OF the country. The
generous expression with which you, sir,
convey the official notics OF my nomina-
tion arc highly appreciated and as fully
reciprocated. and thank you and your
associates of tho notification committee
and tho great party and convention at
whose instance YOU come. for the high
and exceptional distinction bestowed on
