harmony with those policies Of our
party which have brought great honor
and prosperity to our common country,
and which, II continued, will bring us
like blessings in the future.
MONETARY POLICY.
"The monetary and economic policies
which have been 50 forcibly rean-
nounced lie at the very foundation Of
our manufactures and commerce, and
our Industrial life, and are essential
to the fullest development Of our ma
tonal strength. They give vitality to
II impaired or overthrown, there would
inevitably ensue period Of Industrial
depression, to the serious injury OF the
vast interests OF both labor and capital.
THE GOLD STANDARD,
1.-THE Republican party since It pre-
served the integrity Of the republic and
gave freedom TO the oppressed, never
rendered more important service to
the country than when II established
the gold standard. Under II we have
increased our Currency supply SUM-
GENTLY to meet the normal require
ments of business. II is gratifying that
the convention made frank and explicit
declaration OF the lnheXlble purpose Of
the party 20 maintain the gold stand
ard. IL Is essential not only that the
standard should be as good as the best
i'm the world, but that the people should
have the assurance that 1t VIII be so
maintained.
ENEMIES OF SOUND MONEY.
1.-THE enemies OF sound money were
powerful enough to suppress mention
of the gold standard In the platform
lately adopted by the Democratic ma
tlonal convention. The leader OF DEM
ocraoy In two great national
campaigns has declared since the
adjournment of the convention that as
soon as the election is over he win un-
dertake TO organize the forces within
the Democratic party for the next ma
tlonal contest for the purpose of adj
vancing the radical policies for which
his element OF the party stands. He
frankly says that the money question
Is for the present In allegiance, In view
OF these palpable facts, it is not the
part OF wisdom 10 abandon our Wig
lance In safeguarding the integrity OF
our money system, We must have not
only n president who is unalterably
committed to the gold standard. but
both houses OF Congress in entire ac-
cord with him upon the subject.
POWER TO DETERMINE STAND
ARD.
"In Congress, and not with the pres
ident, rests the supreme power to de-
termlne the standard of our money.
Though the chief executive should OPP
pose the Congress acting within its IN
dependent constitutional authority,
could at any time overthrow or change
the monetary standard
WISDOM OF PROTECTION.
"The wisdom OF our protective policy
finds complete justification In the IN
dustrlnl development of the country.
This policy has become most Vltal
part OF our Industrial system and must
be maintained unimpaired. When al
tered conditions make changes In
schedules desirable, their modification
can be safely entrusted to the Repub-
lican party. II they are to be changed
by the enemies OF the system along
free trade lines, uncertainty would
take the place OF certainty, and a re-
action would surely follow to the in
Jury Of the wage earners and all who
are now probably employed. Uncer-
tainty undermines confidence and loss
of confidence breeds confusion and dis
tress In commercial analrs'
CONVENTION WAS WISE.
1.-THE convention was wise not only
IN its enunclatlon of party policies, but
~ its nominatlon Of candidate Tor inc
presidency During the last three
years, President Roosevelt has been
CONFRONTED with large and SERIOUS ques.-
lions. These he has met and solved
with high wisdom and courage. The
charges made against him IN the Dem
ocratic platform find an lrrefutable an
swer In his splendid administration,
never surpassed In all the history OF
the republic and never equalled by the
party who seeks to discredlt It.
1.-THE election OF the president Is Inn
pcratIyely demanded by those whose
success depends upon the continuance
OF safe, conservative and efficient
administration Of public affairs
