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 10 the home. We
favor tho admission Of women TO wider
spheres OF usefulness. and welcome
their co-operntlon In reseuing tho eoun-
try from Democratic and Popullst mis-
management and mlsrulc 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
conslderate 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 tho full assurance
that the election win bring victory to
the Republican party and prosperity to
the people Of the United States.

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
lnatlon. We watch with deep and abId-
Ing interest the heroic battle OF the Gu
han patriots against cruelty and OPP
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 its 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.
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1896-07-08
Reciprocity With Other Nations.

We believe the repeal Of the recl-
procity arrangements negotiated by the
last Republican administration was a
national calamity and we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as will equallze 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 Financial Issue.

Tho Republican party is unrcscrv-
cdly Tor sound money, IL caused tho
enactment OF the law providing Tor the
resumption OF specie payments In 1879;
since then every dollar has been as
good as gold, We are unaltcrably op.
posed to every measure calculated to do.
base our currency or impair the credit
ot our country, We are. therefore. op.
passed to the free coinage ot silver cx.
cept by International agreement with
the leading commercial nations og the
world, which we pledge ourselves 10
promote, and until such agreement can
he obtained we believe the existing
sold standard must be preserved, All
our silver and paper currency now IN
circulation must be maintained at u
parity with gold, and We favor all
measures designed TO maintain lnviola-
hle the obligations OF the United
States, and all our money. whether coin
or paper, at the prcscn, standard, the
standard u the most enlightened ma.
tions or the earth"

The Astorian has several times en-
deavored to point out the impropriety
Of the present method Of making street
improvements. No modern city in the
country. IL IN the world, now operates
under a system OF municipal guaranty
for the costs of these improvements
The highest courts in nearly all the
states have repeatedly pronounced such
a system not only vicious perversion
Of the function Of government, but
actually Illegal and void, under the
limits prescribed by constitution for the
exercise Of the taxing power The pri-
mary ground Of these decisions is that
costs Of special street improvements
cannot be collected as taxes. but must
be treated as mere assessments levied
for the betterment Of private property
interests. Yet in Astoria it has fire.
quently happened that the most ex-
pensive street Improvements have been
totally paid out Of the city's treasury,
and there can be little doubt that in
every recent instance Of such improve
ments. general tax payers have in one
way or another been saddled with a
burden Of costs far in excess Of any
possible public benefit. II the prop
erty through which new streets or spe-
eially improved streets pass is not
worth enough TO constitute adequate
and acceptable security for these as
sessments, the city ought to be re-
strained from ordering such improve
ments. OF course this brings up the
threadbare and altogether odious sug-
gestion Of additional charter amend
ments, but as the Astorian urged be-
fore the last session Of the legislature,
the city can never hope to attain the
substantial growth so much desired for
II until the miserable patchwork Of sell
ishness and inconsistency now called
a charter is radically revised or thrown
overheard completely. The assess
ments for all special street improve
ments should be made a pro rata lien
on the property benefited. and the
work should be advertised and done
under an express condition that the
contractor shall accept and collect
these bills from the property owner
without the intervention Of the city in
any manner, aside from its supervision
and acceptance Of the work when com
pleted.

Let every Democrat favorable 70 sill
yer remember that the bimetanists Of
Europe, for the sake Of bimetallism

established here this year by political
Rction. all the gold OF this country

DIVIDING THE CARCASS ALREAp

Under the manipulation Of the silver
fanatics the poor old Democratic party
has become already the sport and the
prey or Populists, Socialist and Anar-
enist leaders, who. in conjunction with
free silver leaders, hope to control and
destroy it at Chicago If they can. The
Democratic lion is already treated as
though he was dead, and that, in every
sense of the word, original silver man,
Coin" Harvey, who if silver is to rule
Justly feels that he deserves to have his
say. publishes to the country in ad-
vance who will get the loaves and
ishes-or, rather, who will wear the
Hons skin whenever the lion is actually
slain. Here is Mr.. Coin" Harvey's
little plan. as developed by him in a
published despatch:
For president on the Democratic
ticket we favor Bland, Of Missouri. If
elected, give him the appointment Of
one cabinet officer only, secretary Of
state. Let the Democrats indorse the
Populist nominee for vice president
on the Populist ticket Senator Marion

Monroe Doctrine.

We reassert the Monroe doctrine in
Its full extent and reatilrm the right OF
the Unuited States to give the doctrine
effect by responding to the appeals OF
any American state for friendly inter-
ventlon 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.

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 It's inhabitants.

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-.
aetment OF such laws as bcs, eaieulat-
ed 10 secure the fulfllmcnt of the

the practice Of the pension bureau 30
rcckleasly and unjnstly carried on by
the present administration. OF reducing
pensions and arbitrarily dropping
names from the rolls, as deserving the
severcst condemnation OF the American
people.

WHEN THE BOWELS ARE DIsOR-
DERED,

No time should be lost in resOrting to
a suitable remedy. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is the most reliable and widely
esteemed medicine Of its class. It re-
moves the causes Of constipation. or Of
undue relaxation Of the intestines
which are usually indigestion OF a mis-
direction Of the bile. When it acts as
cathartic It does not gripe and vio-
lently eyacuate, but produces gradual
and natural effects. very unlike those
Of a drastic purgative; and its power
of assisting digestion nullifes those irri-
tatlng conditions Of the mucous mem
brane Of the stomach and intestinal
canal which produce first diarrhoea,
and eventually dysentery. The med
icine is, moreover, an agreeable one,
and eminently pure and wholesome.
Appetite and tranquil nightly slumber
are both promoted by it.
