REPUBLICAN NATIONAL PLATFORM

4 The republicans OIL the Unlted SGates,
through their chosen representatives met
in national convention, looking back upon
an unsurpassed record of achievement, and
looking forward into a great field OF duty
and opportunity, and appealing TO the
Judgment Of their countrslnen. make these
declarations:
The expectation IN which The American
people, turning from the democratic party,
publican chief magistrate and d republican
congress, has been met n satisfied. When
the people then assembled at the polls,
after a term OF democratic legislation and
administration, business was dead, Indus
try parsaiyzed and the national credit dis
astrously Impaired. The countrN's capital
was hidden and It's labor distressed and
unemployed,
The democrats had no other plan with
which to Improve the ruinous conditions
which they had themselves produced, than
to coin silver ut the ratio of 16 to 1. The
republican party, ~denouncing this plan as
sure to produce conditions even worse than
those from which relief was sought, prom
ised to restore prosperity by means of two
legislative measures protective tarlff
value; The people by great majorities is
sued to the republican party a commission
to enact these laws.
This commission has been executed, and
the republican, promise is redeemed. Pros
perity more general and more abundant
than we have ever known has followed
these enactnients. There is no longer

We indorse the administration of Will
lished in wisdom and in patriotism, and at
home and abroad it has distinctly elevated
and extended the influence of the Amer
lean nation. Walking untried paths and
facing unforeseen responsibilities, President
Mckinley has been In every situation the
true American patriot and the upright
statesman, clear in vision, strong in judg-
ment, firm iii action, always inspiring and
deserving the confidence Of his country
men.
