The Platform.
Following is a synopsis Of the plat
form:
The platform declares it to be the duty OF
the party to uphold the goid stanoafo anu
the integrity and value of our national cur
rency: favors legislation which will en-
courage and build up the American mer-
chant marine; says a navy powerful enough
to defend the United States against any at
tack. to uphold the Monroe doctrine, ana
to watch over our commerce is esentlal 10
the welfare and safety Of the American peo-
pie: promises a continuance of the repuh.
lican policy with reference to the exclusion
of Chinese labor; declares that the civil
service law shall be thoroughly and hon
estly enforced; favors ample pensions for
soldiers and sailors, and liberal admlnlstra-
| ton of pension laws; favors international
| arbitration; pledges the party to insist upon
| just and equal protection to American cltl-
zens in foreign lands; commends the open
| door, policy in the orient; euloglzes the late
|
| row at his death: commands in strong terms
| the administration of President Roosevelt.
| On the question of race discrimination the
| platform says:
eve favor such congressional action as
| shall determine whether by special dlscrln-
| ination the elective franchise IN any
| state has been unconstitutionally limited
| and if such is the case, we demand that
| representation in congress and in the cleo
| toral colleges shall be proportlonately re
| duced as directed by the constitution OF the
United States.
The platform says: Combinations Of
capital and labor are the results of ths
economic movement of the age, but neither
II must be permitted to infringe upon the
rights and interests of the people. Sucl
combinations when lawfully formed fo1
lawful purposes are alike entitled to tn
protection of the laws, but both are sub
ject to the laws and neither can be permit
ted to break them.
The tariff plank is as follows: 'tProtec
ton which guards and develops our indus
tries is cardinal policy of the republican
party. The measure of protection shoul
always at least equal the difference in tn
cost of production at home and abroad. w
insist upon the maintenance of the princi
/ pies of protection, and therefore rates o
duty should be readjusted only when con
\ ditions have so changed that the public in
/ terest demands their alteration but thi
work cannot safely be committed to an
other hands than those of the repubhca
party !. We have extended widely ou
foreign markets, and we believe in the adoI
tion of all practicable methods for thei
| further extension, including comnercis
/ reciprocity wherever reciprocal arrange
l ments can be effected consistent with tn
/ principles OF protection and without il

Dor or any American industry"
