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 will 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 secure 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 produces free admission for
the n~ecessaries 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 secures our
own market for ourselves. Reciprocity
builds up foreign trade and finds an
outlet for our surplus.

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 abld-
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.

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.

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 Republl-
can party. By these principles we will
abide and these principles we will put
into execution. We ask for them the
considerate 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.

vention in ase 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.

Armenian MaSSacreS.

The massacres in Armenia have
aroused the deep sympathy and just
Indignation Of the American people,
and we believe that the United States
should exercise all the influence it can
properly exert to bring these atrocities
to a n 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.

A Protective Tariff.

We renew and emphasize u 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;
IL puts the burden Of revenue on for
eign goods. Il secures the American
market for the American producer; II
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: It dinuses general thrift and
POUNDS the strength OF all on the
strength Of each. In its reasonable APP
plication II 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
tariff as sectional. injurious to the pub
lie credit and destructive to business
enterprise. We demand such equitable
tariff IN 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
pledged to any particular schedules.
The question OF rates is a practical
question. to be governed by the condi-
lions Of the time and production; the
ruling and uncompromising principle
is the protection and development of
American labor and industry. The
country demands a right settlement
and her 1t wants rest.

they pay other countries more than
