,orm aaonted by the Republican National Convention:
4 We promise to continue these policies and we declare our constant
adherence o the following principles:
STAND PAT WITH AN IL.
Protection which guards and develops ar industries Is a cardinal policy
oEthe Republican party. The measure OF protection should always at least
equal the difference in the O Of production al home and abroad. We insist
upon the maintenance oi tho principles OF protection. and therefore raes of
duty should be readIusted only when conditions have SO changed tina. the
public interest demands their alteration, but this work cannot safely be
committed to n other hands Than those of the Republican party. To
fintrust it TO the Democratic party is TO invite disaster. Whether, as in 1892
the Democratic party declared the protective tariff unconstitutional, or
whether it demands tariff reform or tariff revision. its real object Is always
purpose is evr the same.
A Democratic tariff has always been followed by business adversely;
Republican tariff by business prosperity.
y To a Republican Congress and a Republican President uhs great ques-
Zion ca be safely intrusted. When tn only free-rade country among the
great nations agitates a return to protection the chief protective country
sshould not fater in maintaining it.
FOREIGN t'
! We have extended widely on foreign markets and we believe in the
adoption Of all practicable methods for their further extension, including
Commercial reciprocity wherever reciprocal arrangements can be effected
consistent with the principles of protection and without injury to American
agriculture, American labor or any American industry.
We believe 1t to be the duty of tho Republican party to uphold the gold
standard and the integrity and value of cur national currency. The main
tenance Of the gold standard, established by the Republican party cannot
safely be committed to the Democratic party, which resisted its adoption
and has never given n proof since that time of belief in IT or fidelity to It,
While every other industry has prospered under the fostering aid of
zRspubican legislation. American shipping engaged in foreign trade in com.
petition with the low cost of construction, low wages and heavy subsidies Of
foreign governments has not fol many years received from the Government
of the United States adequate encouragement of any kind. We therefore
favor legislation which viii encourage and build up the American merchant
marine, and we cordially approve the legislation of the lastC Congress-. which
scfeated the Merchant Marine Commission to Investigate a report upon
this subject
SROR POWERFUL NAVY.
; MA navy powerful enough to defend the United states against n at
tack, tt uphold the Monroe doctrine and watch owe our commerce is es-
Bential to the safety and hi welfare of the American people. To maintain
such a navy is the fixed policy OF the Republican party.
s. We cordially approve the attitude of President Roosevelt and Congress
in regard to the exclusion of Chinese labor and promise al continuance OF
the Republican policy in that direction.
The Civil Service law was placed o n the statute books by the Republ-
can party, which has always sustained it, and we renew our former decha-
ratons that 1t shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced.
sr We arc always mindful of the counrys debt to the soldiers and sailors
of the United States, and we believe in making ample provision for them
and in the liberal administration Of the Pension laws
We favor the peaceful settlement of international dinerences bv .rhi
tration.
We commend the vigorous efforts made by the Administration to protect
American citizens in foreign lands. and pledge ourselves to insist upo tho
Just and equal protection of all our citizens abroad.
Our great interests and our growing commerce in the Orient render the
condition Of China of high Importance to the United States We cordially
commend the policy pursued in that direction by the Administrations ~
President Mckinley and President Roosevelt
