Text Of the Declaration on Which the
Republicans Will Stand in the Comins
Campaisn. > > , :

democratic party declares the protective
tariff. unconstitutional. or whether 1t de-
mands tariff reform or tariff revision, its
real object Is Away destructive of the pro-
tect.ve system. However specious the
name, the purpose Is ever the same. A
democratic tariff has always been fol-
lowed by business adversely. a republican
;ar!f by business prosperity. To a repub-
lican congress and a republican president
this great question can be safely ,entrust-
ed. When the only free trade country
among the great nations agitates a re-
turn 10 protection the chief protective
country should not falter in maintain
ing 1t.
We have extended widely our foreign
markets and we believe in the adoption Of
all practical methods for their further ex-
tension, including commercial reciprocity,
wherever reciprocal arrangements can be
effected consistent with the principles OF
protection. and without injury to Ameri-
can agriculture. American labor or any
American industry.
The platform pledges the maintenance
OF the gold standard, favors the encour-
eme and unbuilding Of an American
merchant marine, maintenance of q navy
powerful enough to defend against any
attack, approves the attitude OF Roosevelt
and ongress regarding exclusion of Chi
mere labor. renews the former declaration
that the civil service law shall be thor
oughly and honestly enforced. believes in
ample provision for soldiers and sailors
and liberal administration Of the pension
laws. favors settlement OF Internal Diff
ferences by arbitration. commends the Wig
orous efforts OF the administration to pro-
tect American citizens In foreign lands,
commends the policy pursued by McKin-
ley and Roosevelt in regard to our inter-
ests and growing commerce in the orient,
favors such congressional action as shall
determine whether. by discrimination, the
elective franchise in h United States
has been unconstitutionally limited, and
II so demands hat representation in con-
gress and the electoral college be proper
tionately reduced.

MUST STAND SAME TESTS.
Government-Built Warships Must
Equal Those From Private Yards.

With a view to affording a fair basis of
comparison between warships built at gov
ernment navy yards and those constructed
by private ship builders. Acting Secretary
Darling has decided to require all the gov
ernment-built vessels to undergo the same
tests imposed upon the private-built war
ships before they are finally accepted by
the government This will apply to the
big battle ship Connecticut. now building
at the New York navy yard, in competition
with the Louisiana, under construction at
the Newport News shipbuilding works; to
the cruiser Chattanooga at New York, and
her sister ship, the Galveston, being fin
ished at the Norfolk navy yard, both of
the latter having been taken over half fin
ished from the contractors, who had failed
to carry out their engagements. These
ships will all have speed trials, their screws
will be standardized and their machinery,
boilers and equipment win all be tested ac-
cording to the severe terms imposed upon
the private builders. OF course, 1t is not
expected that the government will reject Its
own ships if they fall short of the stand
ards, but it Is believed that the new rule
will make for a better class of work and
will be just to the private shipbuilders
