The Platform.
The republicans Of the United States, as
sembled by their representatives in national
convention, appealing for the popular and his
toricai justification of their claims to the
matchless achievements Of 80 years Of repub-
lican rule, earnestly and confidently address
themselves to the awakened intelligence, exc
perience and conscience of their coUntrymen
in the following declaration Of facts and pFin-
Ciples: For the first time since the civil war
the American people have witnessed the ca
lamitous consequences OF full and unrestricted
democratic control Of the government ID has
been a record OF unparalleled incapacity, dis
honor and disaster In administrative man
agement it has sacrificed indispensable reVe-
nue., entailed an unceasing deficit, eked out
ordinary current expenses with borrowed
money, piled up the public debt by
s262000000 in time Of peace, forced
an adverse balance OF trade, kept q perpetual
menace hanging over the redemption fund,
pawned American credit 20 alien syndicates and
reversed all the measures and results Of sue
cessful republican rule. In the broad effect OF
its policy it has precipitated panic, blighted
Industry and trade with prolonged depression,
closed factories, reduced work and wages,
halted enterprise and crippled American pro-
ductien while stimulating foreign production
for the American market Every considers
tiOn Of public safety and public interest de-
manGs that the government shall be rescued
from the hands Of those who have shown them
selves incapable of conducting it without dis
aster at home and diSA0nOF abroad, and shall
be restored to the party which for 80 years ad-
ministered it with unequaled success and
prosperity. And in this connection We heartily
indorse the wisdom, the patriotism and the
success Of the administration Of President
Harrison.
We renew and emphasize our allegiance to
the policy Of protection as the bulWsrk OF
American industrial independence ana the
foundation OF American development and pros
perity. This true American policy taxes for
/ eign products and encourages home industry
it puts the burden Of revenue on foreign goods
] it secures the American market for the Amer
/ icaa producer; It uph0!ds the American stand
ard OF wages for the American Workingman; Il
+ puts the factory by the side Of the farm and
makes the American farmer less dependent on
foreign demand and price: it diauses general
I thrift and POUNDS the strength Of ali on the
/ strength of each. In its reasonable spplica-
tion it is just, fair and impartial, equally OPP
posed to foreign control and domestic monop-
/ oily, to sectional discriminate and individual
( iavoritism.
We denounoe the present democratic tarih
as sectional, injurious 10 the public credit and
! destructive to business enterprise. We de-
maRG such ca equitable tariff On foreign inn
ports which come isto competition wish Amer
I lean products as will MT only faFglsh adequsts
