The Financial Issue.

THE Republican party is unreserv-
edly for sound money. II caused the
enactment 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 op-
posed TO every measure calculated to de-
base our currency or impair the credit
OF our country. We are. therefore. op-
posed to the free coinage Of silver, ex-
cept by international agreement with
the leading commercial nations OF the
world. which we pledge ourselves TO
promote. and until such agreement can
be obtained we believe the existing
gold standard must be preserved All
our silver and paper currency now in
circulation must be maintained at a
parity with gold. and we favor all
measures designed TO maintain inyiola-
bic the obligations OF the United
States, and all our money. whether coin
or paper. at the present standard. the
standard Of the most enlightened ma
tions Of the earth"

Declaration of Principles
REPUBLICAN PARTY.

The Republicans Of the United States.
assembled by their representatives IN

popular and historical justification Of
their claims 10 the matchless achieve
ments Of thirty years OF Republican
rule. earnestly and confidently address
themselves 10 the awakened intelll-
gence, experience and conscience Of.
their countrymen In the following dec
laration Of facts and principles:
For the first time since the Civil
War the American people have wit
messed the calamitous consequences Of
full and unrestrained Democratic con-
troll Of the Government. II has been

pawned American credit to alien syn

and results OF successful Republican
rule. In the broad effect Of fits policy
II has precipitated panic. blighted In

preston. closed factories, reduced work
and wages. halted enterprise and Grip
pied American production while stimu-

demands that the government shall be

have shown themselves incapable Of

years administered It with unequaled
success and prosperity.

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 Republi-
can party. By these principles we win
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.
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1896-10-21
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 eQuallze 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-establlshed. Protection for
what we produce, free admission for
the necessaries of life which we. don't
produce, reciprocal agreementsAR 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.

Monroe Doctrine.

We reassert the Monroe doctrine in
its full extent and reafirm the right of
the Unuited States to give the doctrine
effect by responding to the appeals Of
any American state for friendly inter-
vention in case 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.

The French warship Duguay Trouin
win not remain In port after today. She
was to have gone 20 Mare Island for u
thorough overhauling. but the Venezue-
Ian question seems 10 be no nearer a
settlement then ever, and warships are
In demand In South america. The ship
was TO have remained here a month,
and after docking at the Mare Island
yard thorough overhauling was to
have given her. Now, however. all this
has been changed. and the vessel will
sail for Guayaquil this afternoon. None
OF the men have been given shore liber-
~, and the sailors are angry in conse-
quence. Every man aboard is on wait
ing orders, and the chances are that
the gunboat may trip her anchor and
sail at a moments notice.
The Duguay Trouin made a very
pretty picture as she entered port few
days ago. The engines were under a
slow bell. and Captain Bayle was max
ing all the use possible OF his sails. The
departure OF the Trouin without allow

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
nation. We watch with deep and abid-
ing interest the heroic battle of the Gu
ban patriots against cruelty and op-
preston. and our best hopes go out for
the full success Of their determined con-
test for liberty.
The government Of Spain, having lost
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.

A Protect We Tariff.

We renew and emphasize our allegi-
ance to the policy Of protection as the
bulwark OF American Industrial inde-
pendence and the foundation Of Amer
lean development and prosperity. This
true American policy taxes foreign pro-
ducts and encourages home industry;
II puts the burden Of revenue on for
eign goods. II secures the American
market for the American producer; II
upholds the American standard Of
wages for the American wordngman;
It puts the factory by the side OF the
farm, and makes the American farmer
less dependent on foreign demand and
price; II diffuses general thrift and
founds the strength OF all on the
strength OF each. In its reasonable ap-
plication It 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 on 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 win 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 he governed by the condi-
tions Of the time and production; the
ruling and uncompromising principle
is the protection and development Of
American labor and industry. The
country demands right settlement
and then It wants rest.

Pensions for Veterans.

The veterans OF the Union armies de-
serve and should receive fair treatment
and generous recognition. Whenever
practicable they should be given the
preference IN the matter OF employ
ment, and they are entitled to the en-
actment Of such laws as best calculat-
ed TO secure the fulhllment Of the
pledges made to them in the dark days
OF the country's peril. We denounce
the practice Of the pension bureau 80
recklessly and unjustly carried on by
the present administration. OF reducing
pensions and arbitrarily dropping
names from the rolls. as deserving the
severest condemnation Of the American
people.

Admission Of Territories.

We favor the admission Of the re-

ticable date. having due regard to the

federal officers appointed for the terri
tories shall be selected from bona fida
residents thereof. and the right Of self
government shall be accorded as far a.
practicable.

Foreign Relations.

Our foreign policy should be at all
times firm. vigorous and dignihed. and
all our interests In the western hemis-
phere carefully watched and guarded.
The Hawaiian Islands should be con-
trolled by the United States and no for
eign power should be permitted to In
terfere with them. The Nicaragua
Canal should be built. owned and op-
Grated by the United States. and by
the purchase Of the Danish Islands we
should secure a proper and much-need-
ed naval station in the West Indies.

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 an 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
