The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1896-07-15

administer the affairs of the country. II
is the party that will give confidence to
the people, work to the laborer and a
sound and Stable currency to the country
No political party has ever had brighter
prospect OF success and none has inspired
the masses with such high hopes for the
future. The Democratic party already in
the hour of its great distress and dissolu'
ton are looking anxiously forward to this
great organization to deliver them from
the false and pernicious Vaccinations OF
their own mischieyous party
We are opposed to the free and unlim.
tied coinage of silver except after inter-
national agreement; and until such agree
men can be obtained we believe that the
existing gold standard should be firmly
maintained. The credit of the United
States must be unquestioned at home and
abroad; the reserves of the Treasury must
be scrupuously maintained; and every
coin obligation must be paid in gold or
whatever coin the creditor chooses to de-
mand.
We steadfasLly adhere to the American
doctrine of protection and record cur APP
proval Of that great and fundamental prin-
ciple as maintained in the tariff act known
as the Mckinley bill; under a Democratic
tariff our industries are languishing, la
Dor is without employment. capital is
without a field for investment. and our
home market has been to large extent
injured, and in the language of the last
National Republican platform we demand
such an equitable tariff on foreign i'm
ports which come into competition with
American products as will not only furnish
adequate revenue for the necessary ex-
penses Of the government, but will pro-
tect American labor from degradation to
the wage level of other lands.
We demand a return to the sound Re-
publican policy of protection and recl-
procity as advocated by Blaine and en-
forced by the Harrison administration.
We are in favor of the firm maintenance
of the principle established under the ad-
ministration Of Washington and others OF
discriminating duties in favor of American
ships which secured about ninety per
cent. of cur carrying trade to American
bottoms. We are in favor Of snch legisla-
ton as will fully protect and restore
American shipping We believe in the
policy of having foreign commerce of the
United States carried in American ships
and thus save almost $500, 900 annually
to Americans which We now pay to for
eignerS for carrying our American com
merce. We believe that the ship-hulldng
industry in which our state is so largely
interested shall be preserved for American
mechanics and capital; and that every ad
va
should be secured TO us in order that We
may BE- Independent Of other nations for
both ships and scameu in time Of war,
We are in favor of the construction of a
strong and efficient navy, in order that our
commerce may be properly locked after,
our national policy enforced and our ctti-
zens everywhere made to feel that the
National Flag is their sure protection.
We demand liberal and extensive appro
priations for internal improvements and
We heartily and particularly endorse every
effort which has been lie in Congress
from time to time to advance the rapid de-
yelopment Of all those waterways and
water communications which are necessary
to the development and improvement Of
the State of Delaware
We are in favor Of just and liberal PEN
siOns for the soldiers and sailors who
