III GOLD STANDARD.
We renew our allegiance to the principles
OF. the gold standard and declare our con-
3fidenee In the wisdom of the legislation Of
the Mty-Sixth congress by which the
parity Of all our money and the stability
OF our currency on a gold basis has been;
secured. We recognize that interest rates
are a potent factor In production and bus
mess activity, and for the purpose of fur
ther equalizing and of further lowering
the rates .of interestMwei favor such none
tafy legislation as Will enable the varying
needs ct the season and of all sections to!
be promptly met in order thai trade may be
evenly sustained, labor steadily employed
and enlarged. The volume of
money In circulation was never so great
per capita as 1T is today.
We declare our %steadfast opposition to
the free and unlimited coinage of silver,

THE POLICY OF PROTECTION.
We renew our faith In the policy OF
protection TO American labor. In that
policy our industries have been established,
diversified and maintained. BY protecting
the home market the competition has been
stimulated and production ~cheapened. Ops
