brought great honor sa6 prosperity &c
our common country. and which. If con.
tinued. will bring us like Blessings in the
future. The monetary and economic
policies which have been so forcibly re-
announced lie at the very foundation OF
our industrial life and are essential TO
the fullest development OF our national
strength. They give vitality TO our manu-
features and commerce. and n impaired
or overthrown there would inevitably

ests OF both labor and capital.
Value OF Gold Standard.
The Republican party. since il pre-
served the integrity OF the republican
and gave freedom TO the oppressed. never
rendered a more Important service to
the country than when IL established the
| gold Standard Under il we have in
creased our currency supply sufficiently
10 meet the normal requirements of BUSH
ness. IL is gratifying that the conven-
ton made frank and explicit declara-
ton of the infexible purpose of the party
TO maintain the gold standard. II is es-
sential not only that the standard should
that the people should have the assur-
ance that II will be SO maintained.
The enemies OF sound money were
powerful enough to suppress mention OF
the gold standard in the platform lately
adopted by the democratic national con-
venuon. The leader OF the democracy in
| TWO great national campaigns has de-
clared since the adjournment of the con-
vention that as soon as the election IL
over he will undertake 10 organize the
forces within the democratic party for
the next national contest. for the pur-
pose of advancing the radical policies for
which his element of the party stands.
He frankly says that the money question
is for the present in allowance In view
OF these palpable facts il is not the part
OF wisdom to abandon our vigilance in
safeguarding the integrity of our none
tary system. We must have not only a
president who is unalterably committed
TO the gold standard. but both houses of
congress in entire accord with him upon
the subject. In congress and not with
the president rests the supreme power TO
determine the standard of our money.
Though the chief executive should op-
pendent constitutional authority. could
| at any time overthrow or change the
monetary standard.
Protective Policy Wise
The wisdom of our protective policy
finds complete justification I'm the indus
trial development OF the country. This
policy has become a vital part OF our in
! dustrial system, and must be maintained
unimpaired. When altered conditions
make changes in schedules desirable their
modification can be safely intrusted TO
the republican party. II they are 20 be
changed by the enemies of the sv, 'em
along free trade lines. uncertainty would
take the place of certainty and a reaction
surely would follow. to the injury of the
wage-earners and all who are profitably
employed. Uncertainty undermines con-
hdence, and loss Of confidence breeds con-
fusion and distress In commercial affairs.
The convention was wise not only in
It's enumeration OF party policies. but in
us nomination OF a candidate for the
presidency. During the last three years
President Roosevelt has been confronted
with large and serious questions. These
/ he has met and solved with high wisdom
and courage. The charges made against
him in the democratic platform find an
irrefutable answer in his splendid adj
ministration, never surpassed in all the
history Of the republic and never equaled
