A Protective Tariff.

We renew and emphasize our allegi-
ance to the policy Of protection as the
bulwark OF American Industrial indie
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 venue on for
eign goods. II the American
market for the American producer; It
upholds the American standard of
wages for the American workingman;
II puts the factory by the side OF the
farm. and makes the American farmer
less dependent on foreign demand and
price: II diftuses general thrift and
POUNDS the strength Of all on the
strength OF each. In its reasonable ap-
plication 1t 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
~ 70 SNN1OhAs injurious " 1hO pun
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
to any particular schedules.
The question of rates is a practical
question. to be governed by the condi-
tons Of the time and production: the
and uncompromising principle
is the protection and development Of
American labor and industry. The
country demands a right settlement
and then II wants rest.

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 calculat-
ed to secure the fulhllment 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.
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1896-10-13
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 viii 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 C 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 ne~cessaries 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 our
own market for ourselves. Reciprocity
builds UP foreign trade and finds an
outlet for III surplus.

The Financial Issue.

THE Republican party Is unreserv-
eddy 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 unalterably OPP
posed TO every 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 q
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
lions Of the earth"

rule. earnestly and confidently address
themselves 10 the awakened intelll-
Bence. experience and conscience OF
their countrymen in the following dec

For the first time since the Civil

and wages. halted enterprise and Grip
pied American production while stimu-
lating foreign production for the Amer

public safety and individual interest

years administered 1t with unequaled
success and prosperity.

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 Republi-
a party. BY these principles we will
abide and these principles we will put
into execution. We ask for them the
considerable 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.

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 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 obligationes. 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.

Armenian MaSSacreS.

properly exert to bring these atrocities
to an end. In Turkey. American resi-
dents have been exposed to the gravest
dangers and American property de-
stroyed. There and everywhere Amer
lean citizens and American property
must be absolutely protected at all
hazards and at any cost.

Monroe Doctrine.

We reassert the Monroe doctrine in
it's 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 cast 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.
