An American Policy

| States as its nominee fer President, with
| Charles Warren Fairbaks, of Indiana, its
nominee for vice president and with a
platform of the purest and sincerest
American brand the Republican party
will go before the people in Novembe
confident that the people will again vote
to continue the administration of their
business in the hands of tried and faith
ful men who have maintained the United
States in its foremost place among ma
tions, and who have made it respected in
the remotest parts of the earth. The ex-
pressions of the platform and the records
and character of the men chosen by Re-
publicans to be their standard bearers in
1904 are in complete harmony, and as al
ways, the Republican party faces the fu-
ture prepared 10 master its problems.
The backward glance at the party's
achievements is only to impress the truth
that its promises are as sound as gold, as
tions of the republic.
The work of the Republican party is
not completed. The books are not closed.
1t has large task, and an important mis-
sion. Its work for the future is to MAIN
tain and to extend; to preserve and to
build. Its near duty is a protective one
and the platform, therefore, is a protec-
ton platform in the largest and fullest
sense, The prospectus call for
Protection OF American industry aud
labor.
Protection OF Americans in efforts to
extend their markets.
Protection of the quality of the national
currency.
Protection of efforts to build up an
American merchant marine.
Protection, through possession of an
adequate navy, of the American conti-
nent against foreign aggression.
Protection of American commerce on
the seas.
Protection Of American labor against
the cheap labor OF Asia.
Protection of the civil service against
the spoils system.
Protection for the soldiers and sailors
of American wars and proper pensions.
Protection against future wars by pro-
motion of international arbitration.
Protection of Americans in foreign
lands.
Protection of American interests in the
far Orient, with special reference to con-
ditions in China.
Protection OF the rights CT franchises in
all states.
Protection against combinations of cap
ital or men for unlawful purposes.
The keynote of Republican policy is
protection to everything American-to
American manhood and womanhood and
the American home, to American freedom
and equality; with malice toward none,
with threats against none: with friend
ship for the whole world, and with char
ity for all, but charity that begins at home
and which abates no dot or dash of Amer
ican rights in any quarter Of the globe.
The Republican platform is bill of
rights to which every American can sub
scribe, and we do not doubt that it will
be approved by majority of the states
and by great majority of the people in
November, by the election of Theodore
Roosevelt to be President of the United
States and Charles Warren Fairbanks to
be Vice President. and by election of
congress " hich shall be composed of a
sufficient number of Republicans to in
sure cordial support to the executive
branch of the government in its task of
giving full effect to the American policy
enunciated by the National convention of
the Republican party.-Pitsburg Chron-
