The platform rea1firms the declaration
of principles made by the Republican

I'VE cordially endorse the wise and pa
triotic administration of President Nc
Kinley, whose signal achievements in war
and peace, in craftsmanship and diplo-
macy, mark an epoch in the history of the
nation, and whose brilliant success JUS
titles and demands, in the highest inter-
ests OF the country, the uninterrupted
continuance through another term of his
great but uncompleted work. Confronting
unprecedented requirements at home ana
unexampled responsibilities abroad he
has met them with courage, fidelity and
strength, which have given him an en-
during place in the confidence and affec-
ton OF his countrymen.
Every pledge of his administration has
been faithfully redeemed. 1t has dispel-
led long business depression, restored the
protection of American labor and indus
try, reaWakened universal confidence, re-
established a prosperity unparalleled, as
sured to labor the steadiest employment
and the highest pay, opened new fields
of enterprise and new markets for trade.
1t has brought to agriculture a better
gold standard upon firm foundations of
law, and made our national currency
larger in volume and sure in value, and
lifted our national credit to the highest
plane any nation has ever reached
In the broader field of world duty and
influence 1t has met an unavoidable war
Tor humanity with uneQualled VigOr and
success, has crowned the matchless tri-
umph of our arms on land and sea with
the courageous acceptance of its high and
solemn obligations; has faithfully studied
ana sought equally the true honor of the
nation and the GREATEST good of the peo-
pie who have come under our flag, and
has through the wise use of expanded OPP
portunity led our country on pathways
of greatness and renown.
we reaftirm the principle in which the
Republican party had it's birth, and of
which Abraham Lincoln was elected Pres
ident, that the representatives of the peo-
pie have full power over territory be-
longing to the United States, in harmony
with and subject to the fundamental safe
guards of our free institutions for liberty
justice and personal rights. We sustain
the President and Congress in exercising
and welfare of the Union, and with the
most just, generous, humane and frater-
nal consideration for those over whom the
authority of the nation is exercised We
advocate for them free schools, full Sc
curity for life, liberty and prosperity, the
most liberal measures for the develop
ment of their agriculture and industry
and the largest degree of local self-rule
for which they are fitted. We have faith
in American patriotism, character ano
capacity, and know that American gov.
sings of freedom, law and civilization tC
the peoples who are brought under oui
! protection"

committed to legislative and executiv,
opposition to threatening combinations o

ana stiie independent investments tina
are material to the industrial develop

Gus combinations shall be forbidden an,
so-called trusts shall be so regulated from
| time to time and be so restricted to guar

and assure fair treatment and prOtectio,
