Republican Policy to the American
Mercantile Marine
The National Platform as Adopted at ~.
Observation-Disclosures Mckinley's In
dorsement OF Discriminating Duties
Senator ElISins' Blu.

Extract from republican national plat
form, adopted June Is. 1881
We favor restoring the early Ameri-
can policy of discriminating duties for
the upbuilding of our merchant marine
and the protection OF our shipping In
the foreign carrying trade, SO that
American ships-the product of Ameri-
can labor employed in American ship
yards, sailing under the stars and
stripes, and manned. Differed and
owned by Americans-may regain the
carrying of our foreign commerce.
[Extract from william McKinlcy's letter
ofiicially accepting republican nomina-
ton for the presidency, August n, 1851
The declaration OF the republican
platform in favor of the upbuilding OF
our merchant marine has my hearty
approval. The policy of discriminating
duties In favor of our shipping, which
prevailed in the early years OF our his
tory, should be again promptly adopted
by congress and vigorously supported
until our prestige and supremacy on the
seas is fully attained.
We should no longer contribute di-
rcctly or indirectly to the maintenance
Of the colossal marine of foreign coun-
tries, but provide an efficient and COM
plete marine Of our own. Now that the
American navy is assuming position
commensurate with our Importance as
a nation, a policy / am glad to observe
the republican platform strongly in
dorses, we must supplement IL with n
merchant marine that will give us the
advantage in both our coastwise and
foreign trade that we ought naturally
and properly to enjoy. IL should be at
once matter OF public policy and ma
tional pride to repossess this immense
and prosperous trade.

Tie President-Eiect Unchanged on the
Civil-servicc Question.

&htA-ctHFttt AHto~Att-
Maj. McKinley's record on civil serv-
Ice reform has been one of the principal
sources of his strength as a candidate
for tho sufrrages of the people. Hisde-
Tense of the application of the merit
system TO the public service has been
candid, consistent and without equivo-
cation. In his public utterances, both
in congress and in private life, he has
taken advantage OF every favorable and
proper opportunity TO commit himself
to wise and judicious extension OF the
civil service law TO ell branches of the
government where proficiency and in
tegrity are the only essentials for a
proper discharge OF public trust.
Maj. Mckinley has not changed his
attitude on this question. There Is
every reason 20 believe that under his
administration there win be no re-
linquishment of the views that have
given him such popular acceptance with
the people who favor the gradual ex-
tinction of the spells system. Those
who entertain any doubts as to the
probable policy of the next president
on this question should read his letter
of acceptance, which contains the fol-
lowing explicit declarations;
THE pledge OF the republican national
convention that our civil service laws
shall be sustained and thoroughly and
honestly enforced and extended wherever
practicable IA In keeping with the posi-
ton OF the party for tho past n years and
viii be faithfully observed. Our opponents
decry these reforms. They appear willing
TO abandon all the advantages gained after
60 many years agitation ana effort. They
encourage the return 90 methods OF party
favoritism which both parties have often
denounced, that experience has condemned
and that the people have repeatedly disap-
proved. The republican party earnestlyop-
poses this reactionary and entirely untusti-
fable policy. IL Will take no backward
step upon this question. IL will seek TO
improve but never degrade the public
service"
There is little encouragement in these
straightforward utterances for tho
place-hunters who have hoped for
partial suspension OF the civil service
regulations that have been enlarged
and enforced under President Cleve-
land. 1t is true that these extensions
of the classified service have subjected
President Cleveland TO adverse criti-
cism from the politicians because the
extensions were largely made during
the latter part OF his term, but such
criticism Is inevitable, no matter when
made and no matter under what adj
ministration. So long rs public senti-
ment is strongly massed behind the
civil service law the new administration
will be fully warranted in not only
maintaining regulations now in force,
but in extending the application of tho
law to fourth-class postmasters and to
other departments of the public service
which are not yet entirely relieved or
the domination OF spoils jobbers.-

Results.
The adoption OF the republican ship
protection policy would mean:
/. The retention In the United States
OF more than 5000, 100000 now annually
paid TO foreign shipowners for carry
ing American imports and exports, pas
sengers and mails.
2. The immediate spending OF mil
lions OF dollars in American shipyards
to build the ships necessary TO carry
our foreign commerce.
3. The constant employment OF thou
sands OF skilled American workmen in
American shipyards and OF thousands
OF others on board American ships.
4. The cessation OF foreign demand
for such OF our gold as is now paid TO
other countries carrying our own com
merce.
8. II would in n few years make the
United States the greatest maritime
power In the world, would help 10 Gre
ate new and larger markets abroad for
American products and 20 increase our
foreign commerce. tending TO make this
4 creditor instead OF n debtor nation.
G. II would cripple our maritime and
commercial rivals 20 the extent which
our ships and our commerce supplanted
foreign ships and foreign commerce,
and II would strengthen this nation by
giving employment 20 its own citizens,
instead Of strengthening foreign ma
tions by giving employment 20 their
citizens at our expense.
