EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY.
Under Republicanism America Has
Become Worlds Richest Nation,

Under the guidance of Republican prin-
ciples the American people have become
the richest nation in the world Our
wealth to-day exceeds that of England
and all her colonies and that of France
and Germany combined. When the Re-
publican party was born the total
wealth of the country was SIC, OO0, 900 900.
1t has leaped to sl1O.000,000 600 in a gen
GRAFTON, while Great Britain has gathered
but $50, 009 900 i'm 800 years The United
States now owns one-fourth OF the worlds
wealth and makes one-third of all mod
ern manufactured products. In the great
necessities of civilization. such as coal
the motive power of all activity; iron, the
chief basis of all industry; cotton, the
staple foundation of all fabrics; wheat,
corn and all of the agricultural products
that feed mankind, Americas supremacy
is undisputed. And yet her great natural
wealth has been scarcely touched We
have vast domain of 100000 square
miles, literally bursting with latent
treasure, still waiting the magic of cap
ital and industry to be converted to the
practical uses of mankind; country
rich in soil and climate, in the unhar-
messed energy of it's rivers and in all the
varied products of the field, the forest
and the factory. With gratitude for Gods
bounty, with pride in the splendid pro-
ductiveness of the past and with con-
fidence in the plenty and prosperity of
the future, the Republican party de-
clares for the principle that in the de-
veopment and enjoyment of wealth so
great and blessings so benign there shall
be equal opportunity for all.
Revival of Business.
Nothing so clearly demonstrates the
sound basis upon which our commercial
Industrial and agricultural interests are
founded, and the necessity of promoting
the present continued welfare through
the operation of Republican policies, as
the recent safe passage of the American
people through a financial disturbance
which, If appearing in the midst of Demo
cratic rule or the menace of II, might
have equaled the familiar Democratic
panics of the past. We congratulate the
people upon this renewed evidence of
American supremacy and hail with con-
fdence the signs now manifest of a com
piete restoration of business prosperity
in all lines Of trade, commerce and man
ufacturing.

Differences Of Parties.


there are fundamental differences be-
tween the Republican party and it's
chief opponent which make the ono
worthy and the other unworthy OF pub
lie trust
In history the difference between
Democracy and Republicnnism is that
the one stood for debased currency
the other for honest currency; the one
for free silver the other for sound.
money; the one for free trade, the other
for protection; the one for tho contrac-
ton OF American influence, the other
for It's expansions: tho one has been
forced to abandon every position
taken on the great issues before tho
people, the other has held and vindi-
Gated all.
Adversely Against Prosperity.
In experience the difference between
Democracy and Republicanlsm is that
one means adversely, while the other
means prosperity: one means low
wages. the other high; one means
doubt and debt, the other means conf
dence and thrift
In principle the difference between
Democracy and Republlcanism Is that
one stands for vacillation and timid-
ity in government, the other for
strength and purpose; one stands for
obstruction, the other for construc-
one finds fault, the other finds work.
Tendency Toward Socialism.
The present tendencies of the two
parties are even more marked by In
herent differences. The trend OF
Democracy Is toward socialism, while
the Republican party stands for wise
and regulated individualism. Social
ism would destroy wealth. Republic
anism would prevent It's abuse. Social
ism would give to each an equal right
to take; Republicanism would give to
each an equal right to earn Socialism
would offer an equality OF possession
which would soon leave no one any
thing to possess; Republlcanism would
give equality of opportunity which
would assure to each his share OF a
constantly increasing sum of possess
sions. In line with this tendency. the
Democratic party of to-day believes
in government ownership. while tho
Republican party believes in govern
ment regulation. Ultimately, Democ-
racy would have the nation own the
people, while Republicanism would have
the people own the nation.
"Upon This We Appeal to Country"
Upon this platform of principles and
purposes, reaffirming our adherence
to every Republican doctrine pro-
claimed since the birth of the party.
we go before the country. asking the
support not only of those who have
acted with us heretofore, but of all
our fellow citizens. who, regardless OF
past political differences, unite in tho
desire to maintain the policies. perpet-
uate the blessings and make secure ,
the achievements of greater America.

DEMOCRATS CRITICISED.
Have Failed In Contrast with Achieve
ments of Republicans,

We call the attention of the Amer
lean people to the fact that mono OF the
great measures here advocated by tho
Republican party could be enacted and
none OF the steps forward here pro-
posed could be taken under "A Demo-
cratic administration or under one in
which party responsibility IL divided.
The continuance OF present policies,
therefore absolutely requires the con-
tinuanco In power OF that party which
believes In them and which possesses

ARMY AND NAVY.
Strong Sea and Land Forces Declared
Aid to Peace.

The Slxtieth congress passed many COM
mendable acts increasing the efficiency OF
the army and navy: making the militia OF
tho states an integral part OF the national
establishment; authorizing Joint maneu-
vers of army and militia; terrifying new
naval bases and completing the con-
struction OF coaling stations; instituting
a female nurse corps for naval hospitals
and ships and adding two new battle
ships, ten torpedo-boat destroycrs. three
steam GOLFERS and eight submarines to
the strength OF the navy. Although at
peace with all the world and secure In
the consciousness that the American peo-
pie do not desire and viii not provoke
a war with any other country. we never
theless declare our unalterabe devotion
to a policy that will keep this republic
ready at all times to defend her tradi-
tional doctrines and assure her appro-
pirate part In promoting permanent tran
quillity among the nations.
Protect Americans Abroad.
We commend the vigorous efforts made
by the administration to protect Amerl-
can citizens In foreign lands, and pledge
ourselves to insist upon the just and
equal protection of all our citizens
abroad. IL is the unquestioned duty OF
the government to procure for all our
citizens, without distinction. the rights
Of travel and sojourn In friendly coun-
tries, and we declare ourselves In favor
OF all proper efforts tending to that end.

LIABILITY OF EMPLOYERS.
Better Protection to Great Body Of
Workers Is Urued.

The enactment In constitutional form
at the present session of congress of the
employers liability law; the passage and
enforcement of the safety appliance stat
utes as well as the additional protec-
tion secured for engineers and Hremen.
the reduction I'm the hours of labor Of
trainmen and railroad telegraphers; the
successful exercise of the powers of me-
diation and arbitration between inter-
state railroads and their employees, and
the law making a beginning I'm the policy
of compensation for injured employees OF
the government are among the most COM
mendable accomplishments of the pres
ent administration. But there is further
work in this direction yet to be done, and
the Republican party pledges its con-
tinued devotion to every cause that
makes for safety and the betterment OF
conditions among those whose labor con-
tributes so much to the progress and well
fare of the country.
In Interest Of All Who Toll.
The same wise policy which has induced
the Republican party to maintain protec-
ton TO American labor; to establish an
eight-hour day on the construction OF all
public works: to increase the list OF en-
ployes who shall have preferred claims
for wages under the bankruptcy laws. to
adopt a child labor statute for the Dis
trict of Columbia: TO direct an inyestiga-
ton into the condition of working women
and children. and later of employees of
telephone and telegraph companies en-
gagged In interstate business: to appropri-
ate $4,000 at the recent session of con-
gress In order to secure a thorough in
quiry into the causes of catastrophes
and loss of life In the mines; and to
amend and strengthen the law prohibit
ing the importation OF contract labor, will
be pursued In every legitimate direc-
ton within federal authority to tighten
the burdens and increase the opportunity
for happiness and advancement of all
who toll. The Republican party recog-
nizes the special needs OF wage work.

Chicago June 1S.-The following Is
the platform adopted by the Republic.
an National Convention.
Once more the Republican party, In ma
tional convention assembled, submits its
cause to the people This great histor-
lie organization that DESTROYED slavery
preserved the union, restored credit ex-
banded the national domain, established
a sound financial system, developed the
Industries and resources OF the country,
and gave TO the nation her seat of hon
or in the councils OF the world now
meets the new problems of government
with the same courage and capacity with
which it solved the old.
In this the greatest era of American
| advancement the Republican party has
| reached its highest service under the
| leadership of Theodore Roosevelt. His
administration is an epoch in American
| history. In no other period since nation
| al sovereignty was won under Washing
| ton or preserved under Lincoln, has
| there been such mighty progress in those
| ideals or government which make for
| justice, equality and fair dealing among
men. The highest aspirations of the
American people have found voice.
Their most exalted servant represents
the best aims and worthiest purposes
of all his countrymen. American man
hood has been lifted to nobler sense
OF duty and obligation. Conscience and
courage in public station and higher
standards of right and wrong in private
life have become cardinal principles of
political faith; capital and labor have
been brought into closer relations OF con-
fidence and interdependence; and the
abuse of wealth, the tyranny of power
and all the evils of privilege and favorit-
ism have been put to ecorn by the sim
pie, manly virtues of justice and fair
play.
Law lmpartialIy Enforced.
The great accomplishments of President
Roosevelt have BEEN first and foremost
brave and impartial enforcement of
the law, the prosecution Of Illegal trusts
and monopolies, the exposure and pun
ishment of evil-doers in the public serv-
ice, the more effective regulation of the
rates and service of the great transporta-
ton lines, the complete overthrow of
preferences rebates and determinations,
the arbitration of labor disputes, the
amelioration of the condition of wage
workers everywhere, the conservation of
the natural resources of the country the
forward step in the Improvement of the
inland waterways and always the earn
est support and defense OF every whole
some safeguard which has made more
secure the guarantees of life, liberty and
property.
These are the achievements that will
make for Theodore Roosevelt his place
in history, but more than all else the
great things he has done will be an in
spiration to those who have yet great
er things to do. We declare our unfalter-
ing adherence to the policies thus inau-
gurated and pledge their continuance I'M
der a Republican administration of the
government.
