DEMOCRATS AS A MENACE.
IN asking the American people to In
dorse this Republican record and to renew
their commission to the republican party,
we remind them Of the fact that the meh,

general incapacity Of the de ms liz Us %,

THE GOLD STANDARD.
lessly inadequate and the country,s Pros he
perity, when democratic success az tne
bolts is announced, halts and ceases u
mere anticipation OF democratic pi luIliA
and failures.
We renew our allegiance to the principles
Of the gold standard and declare our con.
fidence In the wisdom of the iegisiatlon OF
the fifty-sixth congress py Whi ela L,,;t-
parity Of all our. money and the$ stapiily
Of our currency on a gold basis mas been
secured, We recognize that interest rates
are a potent factor in production and BUS

the ther rs eauai ~ !ate aaa % VI f hrrere such ioM none
tary legislation as will enable the varying
needs Of the season and OF all sections 70
be promptly met in order that trade may De
evenly sustained, labor steadily employed
and commerce enlarged. The volume OF
money In circulation was never so great
per capita as 1t Is today. -
We declare our steadfast OPPOSITION 70
the free and unlimited coinage OF silver.
No measure to that end could be consid-
cred without the support OF the Leading
commercial countries OF the world. How
ever firmly republican legislation may seem
to have secured the country against the
peril Of base and discredited currency, the
election of a democratic president could
not fall to impair the country,s credit ana
tiona of the American people to maintain
upon the gold standard the parity of their
moneys circulation. The democratic
people viii never tolerate the Chicago plat
form. }#s
THE TRUST QUESTION.
We recognize the necessity and proprie-
ty OF the honest cooperation Of capital to
meet new business conditions and espe-
ciaHy to extend our rapidly Increasing for
eign trade. but we condemn all conspira-
cies and combinations intended to restrict
business, to create m~onopolies, to limit
production or to control prices and favor
such Legislation as will effectualy restrain
and prevent all such abuses, protect and
promote competitions and secure the rights
OF producers, laborers and all who are en-
gagged in industry and commerce. al
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
