The Republicans of the United States,
assembled by their representatives IN

popular and historical justification of
their claims to the matchless achieve
ments of thirty years of Republican rule,
earnestly and confidently address them
selves to the awakened intelligence. .ex-

men in thes following declaration OF facts
and principles:
the American people have witnessed the
destricted Democratic control OF the
government. 1t has been record OF
unparalleled incapacity, dishonor and dis
aster. In administrative management It
has ruthlessly sacrificed indispensable
revenue, entailed an unceasing dehclt,

measures and results of successful Re-
publican rule. In the broad effect OF it's
policy it has precipitated panic. blighted
industry and trade with prolonged de.
preston, closed factories, reduced work
and wages, halted enterprise and crippled
American production, while stimulating
foreign production for the American
market. Every consideration of public
safety and individual interest demands
from the hands of those who have shown
themselves incapable to conduct 1t with
out disaster at home and dishonor abroad,
and shall be restored to the party which
for thirty years administered it with I'M
eoualed success and prosperity, and in.
this connection we heartily indorse the
wisdom, patriotism and success of the
administration of President Harrison.
Protection 10 Reafarmed.
We renew and emphasize our allegi-
ance to the policy of protection as the
bulwark of American industrial indie
pendence and the foundation of Ameri-
can development and prosperity. This
true American policy taxes foreign prod.
ucts and encourages home industry: 1t
puts the burden of revenue on foreign
goods; it secures the American market
for the American producer; it upholds
the American standard of wages for the
American workingman; it puts the fac
tory by the side of the farm, and makes
the American farmer less dependent on
foreign demand and price: it difuses

they are entitled to the enactment of
such laws MS are best calculated to secure
the fultillment of the pledges made to
them in the dark days of the country's
peril. We denounce the practice in the
Pension bureau, so recklessly and un-
justly carried on by the present admins
tration, of reducing pensions and arbi-
trarily dropping names from the rolls as
deserving the severest condemnation of
the American people.
Vigorous Foreign Policy.
Our foreign policy should be at all
times firm, vigorous and dignified and all
our interests in the Western hemisphere
carefully watched and guarded. The
Hawaiian islands should be controlled by
the United States, and no foreign power
should be permitted to interfere with tn
States, and by the purchase of the Dan
ish islands we should secure proper
and much-needed naval station in the
West Indies.
To Stop Armenian Massacrss.
The massacres in Armenia have
aroused the deep sympathy and just in.

we believe that the United States should
exercise all the influence it can properly

In Turkey American residents have been

Monroe Doctrine Reaaserted.
We reassert the Monroe doctrine in its
full extent and we reaffirm the right of
the United States to give the doctrine eff
feet by responding to the appeals of any
American state for friendly Intervention
in case of European encroachment. We
have not interfered and shall not inter-

From the hour of achieving their own
independence the people of the United
