Must Protect Our Homes.

The home is the strongest tie binding
together the institutions of civilization
The nations strength grows with the
homes strength; its happiness with
the homes happiness; its virtue and
prosperity with the homes virtue and
prosperity All government is insti-
tuted to Protect the weak from the OBJ
preston of the strong. and the more
Protection the government throws
around the citizens home, the more
therei is for which to live, the more for
which to fight, and the more for which
to die.
For protection to both the altar and
the tireside did the hands of the French
HuguenOt reach across the wide Chasm
of racial distinction and grasp the
hand of the English Puritan and pledge.
on Il new soil, a new union for obtain
ing religious and industrial independ-
ence from the dcep-rOOted creeds and
costums of Continental Europe. With
less worthy purpOse-that of trade
did the Spanlard come to the New
World, and the merit of the policy of
each is best measured by the fact that
the home-making colOnists have vital
lied the constitutions of our several
States with their principles, while on
the other hand the trading colonists
have left 50 little influence upon our
civilization that, except for few
Isolated geographical names, their
early presence would have been en-
tirely forgotten.
Socrates is said to have thanked his
God daily that he was born Greek and
not barbarian, Il man and not Il beast
Il male and not Il female; the American
citizen should thank his God that he is
tine citizen of Il country in which he
can maintain his own home by the re-
turns of his own toll, that the vine he
plants by his cottage door gives, bv its
foliage, shade for his hours of rest,
and points with its uplifting tendrils
toward the JOY of 4 Heaven of his
own choosing.
Andrew Carnegie in his excellent
work entitled triumphant Democracy
relates that Swedish working girl
upon arriving in this country and per
ceiving the happy state of the working
people, exclaimed: "Sir. have the
goodness to inform me where the
peasantry live in this country" Pro
tecuVe Tariffs are Impugned as selfish.
It's Gods instinct that turns the wing
of the dove 10 her own nest when the
cloud thiCkens in storm, and following
the same divine instinct man PROF. ected,
and will Protect, his nation as against
another State, his city as against another
city, and his home as against another
home.
We should work for the mutual sup
port of our own citizens and of each in
the enjoyment Of his own home.
Trade gives us reputation, but home in
dustries give us character When was
the time when there were not Ameri-
~ ,,ll / l..
there We're not Americans to wear all
we could manufacture? Industry en-
courages love Of home, and love OF
home encourages love Of country; idle
ness prevents the citizen securing those
comforts which make home life attract
tive, and brings, like the roll of an in
coming tide upon a rock-paved shore
the hoarse and haIf-suppressed muir
murs of anarchy.

Positive for Gold Standard Repub=
lican Money Plank.

The Republican party is unreservedIy
for sound money. 1t caused the enact
ment 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 opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our cur
rency or impair the credit of our coun-
try. We are therefore opposed to the
free coinage of silver, except by inter
national agreement with the leading
commercial nations of the world, which
we pledge ourselves to promote, and
until such agreement can be obtained
the existing gold standard must be
preserved.
All our silver and paper currency
must be maintained at parity with gold -,
and we favor all measures designed to
maintain inviolably the obligations of
the United States, and all our money,
whether coin or paper, at the present
standard, the standard of the most en-
Iightened nations of the earth.
