First, then / regard the platform o
the late Democratic convention as rev
dictionary, anarchistic, and un-Ameri
can
ut is full of financial and political er
rors and, worst of all is disloyad to tht
government under which we live, and 1:
| evidently bent upon destroying oul
grand system OF national banks, and
in effect, a general war upon capita
and credit, and points Enthusiastically
to the violation of national honor and
credit, as well as by laxity in the strio
maintenance by our people of CONNER
cial and financial integrity.
Surely no Republican and no such
grand and loyal Democrats as sustain
ed the nation during the late war can
vote for candidate who is willing to
stand upon and accept such a wretched
platform
However parties may differ in re-
gard to high and low tariff, and the sub
ject of bimetallisn, and the way in which
bimetallism shall be restored, and even
the desiraibleness Of it, yet there can be
but one thought in the minds of all true
| Republicans and true Democrats, viz:
| How can / best aid in destroying and
beating back the anarchistic and Popu-
listic waves now threatening the ma
| ton?
This triumph accompiished-in the
election by an overwhelming majority
OF that true and noble American, Nc
| Kiniey-I am sure we shall speedily
enjoy peace and a return to the people
the prosperity, east and west, north and
south, that has been so sadly Interrupt
ted by the abandonment for the time
Of that Republican policy that has al
ways secured US heSe endearing bene-
| fits.
81 am willing totrust Mckinley and
the Republican party in all matters Of
tariff and finance, and when the great
questions relating to these subjects, In
GLIDING national banks, bimetailism,
etc, are ready for discussion under a
Republican administration. 1 am sure
there will prevail a just wisdom which
will enact measures which all loyal cit
liens will approve of and which Will not
only restore the nation to a high pros
perity, but which will maintain the high
standard of credit required by such a
nation and such a people of ours.
1--WE must and will sacredly keep
every promise, and at any cost fulfill
the same.
There is one portion Of our common
country, more than any other, that L
cannot avoid feeling a deep interest In,
and that is the great northwest.
'tSome six millions of people now in
habit the region which opened to set
Element by the enterprise of the North
erl Pacific railroad, and also the st.
Paul and Duluth and many other rail-
roads in Iowa and Minnesota
81 am sure that this vast population
composed as it is of the best of settlers,
will turn a deaf ear to the pleas of Popu-
lists and anarchists, and they will join
the Republicans in securing an over
whelming victory against the Chicago
platform and nominees.
IF my friends in the northwest win
put confidence in my advice and follow
it, and vote for Mckinley, can assure
them that return to prosperity through
his election is certain, whereas by the
election of his opponent the direst evils
are sure to follow.
81 believe that the Republican plat
form is sound one and that 1t promises
an honest and faithful effort to bring
eibout international bimetallism at the
earliest possible moment 1 have al
ests of the whole world, and still favor
it, but the promise of the Republican
platform satisfies me for the present,
and, in my opinion, il is the only safe
road before us, and / believe that an
honorable and creditable settlement of
this vexed question will be made under
Republican auspices.
I'm word, then, am a Republican,
and shall vote for Mckinley. / aEohor
the Chicago platform and ali it propos-
es. / am in favor of the continued ex-
istence of the supreme court as it stands
now, as established by the constitution
I favor the continuance and enlarge
ment of the national banking system
l am opposed to any income tax, be
iieving such a tax as inquisitorial and |
one, and also that there
is not the beast excuse or necessity for |
such objectionable prying into the pri-
waite concerns of American citizens. I |
am in favor of the reenectment of a |
protective tariff. 1 am in favor of !
the parity between gold, |
silver and paper as at present maintain |
ed and until an International settle |
ment of the silver question is satisfac- |
torily arrived at by the speedy and hon. |
est efforts of the Republican party,and |
ann not afraid OF the issue Of any |
of bonds TO maintain our credit |
until, by the operations of the combined |
influences of the tariff for protection /
and the accomplishment of bimetalnsm
by International agreement, we Shall as
a nation again have a surplus revenue
large enough to cut down our debt aS
fast as IL is deemed advisable to do 50.
and have surplus besides to appropri-
ate to the works of internal improve
ment- so much needed. and also to en-
courage the restoration of our CON-
merce; at least TO the extent of provid-
ng for our own carrying trade
The above are my convictions. and
now. as l am shout to disappear for
eng season into mountain and lake and
ocean hau1ts, / trust that the above
Nisl be satisfactory to the many cor
who apply for my views on
he subject. JAY COOKE"
