Chicago June 18.—The following 1b
the platform adopted by the Republic-
an National Convention.
One® more the Republican party. In na-
tional convention assembled, submits Its
cause to the people. This great histor-
ic organisation that destroyed slavery,
preserved the union, restored credit, ex-
panded the national domain, established
* 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
Readership 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 ef government which make for
justice, equality and fair dealing among
wen. The highest aspirations of the
American people have found a voice.
Their most exalted servant represents
the best alms and worthiest purposes
of ail his countrymen. American man-
ihood has been lifted to a nobler sense
of duty and obligation. Conscience and
courage In public station and higher
atandards of right and wrong in private
■life have become cardinal principles of
political faith; capital and labor have
keen brought into closer relations of con-
■ftdence and Interdependence; and the
abuse of wealth, the tyranny of power
and all the evils of privilege and favorit-
ism have been put to scorn by the sim-
ple, manly virtues of justice and fair
play.
Law Impartially Enforced.
The great accomplishments of President
Roosevelt have been, first and foremost,
a 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 snd service of the great transporta-
tion lines, the complete overthrow of
preferences, rebates and discriminations,
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 guaranties 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 un-
der a Republican administration of the
government.
EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY.
Under Republicanism America Has
Become World's 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 116,000,000,000.
It has leaped to ft 10,000,000,000 In a gen-
eration, while Great Britain has gathered
but $10,000,000,000 In BOO years. The United
States now owns one-fourth of the world's
wealth and makes one-third of all mod-
ern manufactured products. In the groat
necessities of civilisation, such aa coal,
ths motive power of all activity; Iron, the
clhtef basis of all Industry; cotton, the
staple foundation of all fabrics; wheat,
corn and all of ths agricultural products
that feed mankind, America's supremacy
Is undisputed. And yet her great natural
wealth has bsen scarcely touched. We
have a vaet domain of I.OOO.MO square
imllee, literally bursting with latent
treasure, still waiting the magic of cap-
ital and Industry to bs converted to the
practical uses of mankind; a country
rich In soli and climate. In ths unhar-
nessed energy of Its rivers and In all the
varied products of the field, the forsst
and the factory. With gratitude for God's
bounty. with pride in the splendid pro-
ductiveness of the past and with con-
fidence In the plenty and prosperity of
*fce future, the Republican party de-
•■gclareo far the principle that In the de-
velopment 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 througn
ths 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 It, 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-
fidence the signs now manifest of a com-
plete restoration of business prosperity
In all lines of trade, commerce and man-
ufacturing.
SHOWS WISE LEGISLATION.
8ince 1896 the Party Haa Made the
Laws of the Nation.
Since the election of William McKinley
In 1896 the people of this country have
felt anew the wisdom 'of intrusting to
the Republican party through decisive
majorities ths control and direction of
national legislation.
The many wise and progressive meas-
ures adopted at recent sessions of con-
gress have demonstrated the patriotic
resolve of Republican leadership In the
legislative department to keep step In
the forward march to better government.
Notwithstanding the Indefensible filibus-
tering of the Democratic minority In ths
house of representatives during the last
session many wholesome and progressive
laws were enacted, and we especially
commend the passage of the emergency
currency bill, the appointment of the na-
tional monetary commission, the employ-
ers' and government liability laws, the
measures for the greater efficiency of
the army and navy, the widows' pension
bill, the child labor law fqr the District
of Columbia, the new statutes for the
safety of railroad engineers and firemen,
and many other acts conserving the pub-
lic welfare.
FOR TARIFF REVISION.
Action by 8peciai Session of Congress
After Inauguration.
The Republlcsn party declares un-
equivocally for a revision of the tariff
by a special session of congress imme-
diately following the Inauguration of the
next president, and commends the steps
already taken to this end In the work
assigned to the appropriate committees
of congress which are now investigating
ths operation and effect of existing
schedules. In all tariff legislation the
true principle of protection is best main-
tained by the Imposition of such duties
as will equal the difference between the
cost of production at home and abroad,
together with a reasonable profit to
American Industries. We favor the estab-
lishment of maximum and minimum rates
to be administered by the president un-
der limitations fixed In the law, the max-
imum to be available to meet discrimina-
tions by foreign countries against Amer-
ican goods entering their markets, and
the minimum to represent the normal
measure of protection at home; ths aim
and purpose of the Republican policy be-
ing not only to preserve, without ex-
cessive duties, that security against for-
eign competition to which American
manufacturers, farmers and producers
are entitled, but also to maintain the
high standard of living of the wage earn-
ers of this country, who are the most
direct beneficiaries of the protective sys-
tem. Between the United States and the
Philippines we believe In a free Inter-
change of products with such limitations
as to sugar and tobacco as will afford
adequate protection-to domestic Interests.
NEW CURRENCY LAWS.
Recent Meaaure Approved and More
Elasticity Recommended.
We approve the emergency measures
adopted by the government during the
recent financial disturbance, and espe-
cially commend the passage by congress
at the last session of the law designed
to protect the country from a repetition
of such stringency. The Republican party
is committed to the development of a
permanent currency system, responding
to our greater needs, and the appointment
of the national monetary commission by
the present congress which will lmpar-
tally investigate all proposed methods
insures the early realisation of this pur-
pose. The present currency laws have
fully justified their adoption, but an ex-
panding commerce, a marvelous growth
in wealth and population, multiplying the
centers of distribution, increasing the de-
mand for movement of crops In the west
and south, and detailing periodic changes
in monetary conditions, disclose the need
of a more elastic and adaptable system.
Such a system must meet the require-
ments of agriculturists, manufacturers,
merchants and business generally, must
be automatic In operation, minimising
the fluctuations In Interest rates, and
above all, must be In harmony with that
Republican doctrine which insists that
every dollar shall be based upon and as
good as gold.
For Postal Savings Banks.
We favor the establishment of a pos-
tal savings bank system for the con-
venience of the people and the encourage-
ment of thrift.
STRENGTHEN TRUST ACT.
Federal Law, Where Found Effective,
8hould Be Amended.
The Republican party passed ths Sher-
man anti-trust law over Democratic op-
position, and enforced it after Democrat-
ic dereliction. It has been a wholesome
Instrument for good in the hands of a
wise and fsarlsss administration. But ex-
perience has shown that Its effectiveness
can be strengthsned and Its real ob-
jects better attained by such amendments
aa will give to ths fedsral government
greater supervision and control ovsr, and
secure greater publicity In, ths manage-
msnt of that class of corporations en-
gaged in Interstate commerce having
power and opportunity to effect monopo-
lies.
RAILROAD RATE LAW.
Measure to Make Tariff Agreements
Poaaible la Favored.
We appreve the enactment of the rail-
road rate law and the vigorous enforce-
ment by ths prsssnt administration of
ths statutes against rebates and discrim-
inations, as a result of which ths advan-
tages formerly posseeeed by the large
shipper ever the email shipper have sub-,
stanllslir dleenaeared. and in thia coa-
nection ws commend the appropriation
by the present congress to enable the In-
terstate commerce commission to thor-
oughly Investigate and give publicity to
the accounts of lnter-state railroads. We
believe, however, that the interstate com-
merce commlasion law should be further
amended so as to give railroads the right
to make and publish traffic agreements
subject to the approval of the commis-
sion, but maintaining always the princi-
ple of competition between naturally
competing lines and avoiding the common
control of such lines by any means what-
soever. We favor such national legisla-
tion and supervision as will prevent the
future overissue of stocks and bonds by
interstate carriers.
LIABILITY OF EMPLOYERS.
Better Protection to Great Body of
Workers la Urged.
The enactment In constitutional form
at the present session of congress of ths
employers' liability law; ths passsgs and
enforcement of the eafety sppllsncs stat-
utes; as wsll as ths additional protec-
tion secured for engineers and firemen;
the reduction In 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 employes, and
the law making a beginning In the policy
of compensation for injured employes 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 thoss whose labor con-
tributes so much to the progress and wel-
fare of the country.
In Interest of All Who Toil.
The same wise policy which has Induced
the Republican party to maintain protec-
tion to American labor; to establish an
eight-hour day on the construction of all
public works; to Increase the list of em-
ployes who shall havs preferred claims
for wages under the bankruptcy laws; to
adopt a child labor statute for the Dis-
trict of Columbia; to direct an Investiga-
tion Into the condition of working women
and children, and later of employes of
telephone and telegraph companies en-
gaged in Interstate business; to appropri-
ate ti50,000 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-
tion within federal authority to lighten
the burdens and increase the opportunity
for happiness and advancement of all
who toll. The Republican party recog-
nises the special needs of wage work-
ers generally, for their well-being means
the well-being of all. But more Important
than all other considerations is that of
good cltisenshlp and we especially stand
for the needs of every American, what-
ever his occupation, In his capacity as a
self-respecting citlsen.
A8 TO INJUNCTIONS.
Upholds Integrity of Courta, But
Would Modify Rulea.
The Republican party will uphold at all
times the authority and Integrity of the
courts, state and federal, aad wilt ever
Insist that their powers to enforce their
process and to protect life, liberty and
property shall be preserved inviolate.
We believe, however, that the rules of
procedure in the federal courts with re-
spect to the issuance of the writ of In-
junction should be more accurately de-
fined by statute and that no Injunction
or temporary restraining order should be
Issued without notice, except where irrep-
arable Injury would result from delay.
In which case a speedy hearing thereafter
should be granted.
IN FARMERS INTEREST8.
Reforms Urged to Increaae Comforts
of Tillers of the 8oil.
Among those whose welfare Is as vital
to the welfare of the whole country as Is
that of the wage earner. 1s the American
farmer. The prosperity of the country
rests peculiarly upon the prosperity of
agriculture. The Republican party dur-
ing the last 12 years has acompllshed
extraordinary work In bringing the re-
sources of the national government to
the aid of the farmer, not only In ad-
vancing agriculture Itself, but in Increas-
ing the conveniences of rural life. Free
rural mall delivery has been established;
it now reaches millions of our citizens,
and we favor Its extension until every
community In the land receives the full
benefits of the postal service. We recog-
nize the social and economic advantages
of good country roads, maintained more
and more largely at public expense, and
less and less at the expense of the abut-
ting owner. In this work we commend
the growing practice of state aid. and
we approve the efforts of the national
agricultural department by experiments
and otherwise to make clear to the pub-
lic the best methods of road construction.
RIIGHT8 OF THE NEGROES.
Equal Justice for All Men, Without
Regard to Race or Color.
The Republican party has been for more
than 50 years the consistent friend of the
American negro. It gave him freedom
and citizenship. It wrote Into the or-
ganic law the declarations that proclaim
his civil and political rights, and It be-
lieves to-day that his noteworthy prog-
ress In intelligence, Industry and good
citizenship has earned the respect and en-
couragement of the nation. We demand
equal justice for all men, without regard
to race or color; we declare once more,
and without reservation, for the enforce-
ment In letter and spirit of the thir-
teenth. fourteenth and fifteenth amend-
ment! to the constitution, which were
designed for the protection and advance-
ment Of the negro, and we condemn all
devlees that havs for their real aim his
disfranchisement for reasons of color
alone, as unfair, un-American and repug-
nant to the supreme law of the land.
THE NATURAL RESOURCES.
Their Conservation Indorsed—For Im-
provement of Waterwaya.
We Indorse the movement Inauguarted
by the admlnlstrstlon for the conSsrva-
tlon of natural resources; we approve all
msasurss to prevent the waste or timber;
we commend the work now going on for
the reclamation of arid lands, and re-
affirm the Republican policy of the frse
distribution of the available areas of ths
publlo domain to the landless settler. No
obligation of the future Is more Insistent
and none will reeult In greater blessings
la posterity. In tlae with tlUa epleadid
undertaking Is the further duty, equally
Imperative, to enter upon a systematic
improvement upon a large and compre-
hensive plan, just to all portions of the
country, of the waterways, harbors and
great lakes, whose natural adaptability
to the Increasing traffic of the land is
one of the greatest gifts of a benign
Providence.
ARMY AND NAVY.
Strong Sea and Land Forcaa Declared
Aid to Peace.
The Sixtieth congress passed many com-
mendable acts increasing the efficiency of
the army and navy: making the militia of
the states an Integral part of the national
establishment; authorising joint maneu-
vers of army and mttitta; fortifying new
naval bases and completing the con-
struction of coaling stations; Instituting
- '? c0,rP/
and ships and adding two new battle
a female nurse corps for naval hoapi
a
ships, tsn torpedo-boat destroysrs. three
steam colllere and eight eubmarlnes to
the etrsngth of the navy. Although at
peace with all the world and secure In
the consciousness that the American peo-
ple do no* desire and will not provoke
a war with any other country, we never-
theless declare our unalterable devotion
to a policy that will keep this republic
ready at all times to defend her tradi-
tional doctrines and assure her appro-
priate part In promoting permanent tran-
quillity among the nations.
Protect Americana Abroad.
We commend the vigorous efforts made
by the administration to protect Ameri-
can cltisens in foreign lands, and pledge
ourselves to Insist upon the Just and
equal protection of all our clttsens
abroad. It 1s the unqueattoned duty of
the government to procure for all our
cltisens, without distinction, the rights
of travel and sojourn In friendly coun-
tries. and we declare ourselves In favor
of all proper efforts tsndlng to that end.
FOREIGN COMMERCE.
Growth of Natlon'a Trade Under Rule
of Republicana.
Under the administration of the Repub-
lican party the foreign commerce of the
United States haa experienced a remark-
able growth until It haa a present annual
valuation of approximately fJ.OOO,000,000
and gives employment to a vast amount
of labor and capital which would other-
wise be Idle. It has Inaugurated, through
the recent visit of the secretary of state
to South America and Mexico, a new
era of pan-American commerce end com-
ity which Is bringing us In closer touch
with our twenty sister American republics,
having a common historical heritage, a
Republican form of government and of-
fering us a limitless field of legitimate
commercial expansion.
THE HAGUE TREATIES.
Course of Peace Greatly Advanced by
Their Ratification.
The conspicuous contributions of Amer-
ican statesmanship to the great cause of
international peace, so signally advanced
in The Hague conferences, are an occa-
sion for Just pride and gratification. At
the last session of the senate of the
United States 11 Hague conventions were
ratified, establishing the right; of neu-
trals. laws of war on land, restriction of
contractual debts, governing the open-
ing of hostilities, extending the applica-
tion of Geneva principles and. In many
ways, lessening the evils of war and pro-
moting the peaceful settlement of Inter-
national controversies. At the same ses-
sion 12 arbitration conventions with great
nations were confirmed, and extradition,
boundary and neutralisation treaties of
supreme Importance were ratified. We
indorse such achievements as the high-
est duty a people can perform and pro-
claim the obligation of further strength-
ening the bonds of friendship and good
will with all the nations of the world.
MERCHANT MARINE.
Legialation to Encourage American
Shipping la Urged.
We adhere to the Republican doctrine
of encouragement to American shipping
and urge such legislation as will revive
the merchant marine prestige of the
country, so essential to national defense,
the enlargement of foreign trade and the
Industrial prosperity of our own people.
PENSIONS FOR VETERANS.
Generous Provisions for Nation'a De
fenders and Their Dependenta.
Another Republican policy which must
be ever maintained Is that of generous
provision for those who have fought the
country's battles and for the widows and
orphans of those who have fallen. We
commend the increase In the widows'
pensions made by the present congress
and declare for a liberal administration
of all pension laws, to the end that the
people's gratitude may grow deeper as
the memories of heroic sacrifice grow
more sacred with tlie passing years.
Civil Service Indorsed.
We reaffirm our former declarations
that the clvll-servlce laws enacted, ex-
tended and enforced by the Republican
party tihall continue to bo maintained
and obeyed.
To Promote Public Health.
We commend the efforts designed to se-
cure greater efficiency In national public
health agencies and favor such legisla-
tion as will effect this purpose.
In the Interest of the great mineral In-
dustries of our country we earnestly
favor the establishment of a bureau of
mines and mining.
OUR PO88E88IONS ABROAD.
Nation Has Done Much for lalanda;
the lathmian Channel.
The American government. In Republic-
an hands, has freed Cuba, given peaco
nnd protection to Porto Rico and the
Philippines under our flsg and begun the
construction of the Panama canal. The
present conditions In Cuba vjndlcate the
wisdom of maintaining between that re-
public and this Imperishable bonds of
mutual interest and the hope Is now ex-
pressed that the Cuban people will soon
again bs ready to assume complete sov-
erslgnty over thslr land.
In Porto Rico the government of ths
United States is meeting loyal and patri-
otic support; order and prosperity pre-
vail and the well-being of the people Is
in every respsct promoted and conserved.
We believe that the native inhabitants
of Porto Rice should be at ones collsc-
tlvely made cltlseas of ths United States
and that all othere properly qualified un-
der existing laws realdlng in said island
should havs the privilege of becoming
naturalised.
In the Phllipptnee Ineurreetlen haa been

Ing the capacity of the people for govern-
ment, and the policies of MoKlnley and
Roosevelt are leading the inhabltanta
step by step to an ever increasing meaa-
ure of home rule.
Panama Route Approved.
Time has justlAed the selection of the
Panama route for the great iethmlan
canal and events have shown ths wis-
dom of securing authority over the aone
through which It la to be built. The work
Is now progressing with a rapidity far
beyond expectation, and already the re-
alisation of the hopes of centuriee haa
coma within the vlaion of the near fu-
ture.
New Mexico and Arlsona.
We favor the Immediate admleelon of
the territories of New Mexico and Art-
sons as sepsrate statee In the union.
Centenary of Birth of Lincoln.
February IS. 1*00. will be the one
hundredth anniversary of ths birth of
Abraham Lincoln, an immortal spirit
whose fame has brlghtsnsd with the
receding years and whose name atanda
among the first of thoss given to the
world by the great republlo. We recom-
mend that this csntsnnlal annlvereary
be celebrated throughout the oonflnea
of the nation, by all the people there-
of; and, especially by ths public schools,
as an exsreiss to stir the patrlotlem of
the youth of the land.
DEMOCRATS CRITICISED.
Havo Failed in Contraat with Aohlsve*
menta of Republicana.
We call the attention of the Amer-
ican people to the faot that none of the
great meaaures here advocated by the
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 Is divided.
The continuance of prsssnt policies,
therefore, absolutely rsqulres ths con-
tinuance In power of that party which
believes in them and which possesses
ths capacity to put them Into opera-
tion.
Differencea of Parties.
Beyond all platform deblaratlona
there are fundamental differencea be-
tween the Republican party and Ita
chief opponent which make the one
worthy and the other unworthy of pub-
lic truet.
In history ths dlfferencs between
Democraoy and Republicanism Is that
the one stood for debased currency,
the other for honest currency; ths one
for free silver, the other for sound
money; the one for free trade, the other
for protection; the one for the contrac-
tion of American Influence, the other
for Its expansion; the one haa been
forced to abandon svsry position
taken on the great lasuee before the
people, the other has held and vindi-
cated all.
Adversity Against Prosperity.
In experience the difference between
Democracy and Republicanism fs that
one mesne adversity, while the other
means prosperity; one mesne loir
wages, the other high; one means
doubt and debt, the other meana confi-
dence and thrift.
In prlnolpie the difference betweea
Democracy and Republicanism Is that
ono stands for vacillation and timid-
ity In government, the other for
strength and purpose; one stands for
obstruction, ths othsr for eonetruc-
tlon; one promises, ths othsr performs;
one finds fault, the other flnde work.
Tendency Toward Soolaliam.
The present tendenoles of ths two
parties are even more marked by In-
herent differences. Ths trend of
Democracy Is toward socialism, while
the Republican party stands for a wtss
and regulated Individualism. Socle!-
Ism would dsstroy wealth. Republic-^
anlsm would prevent Its abuse. Social-
ism would give to each an equal right
to take; Republicanism would glvs to
each an equal right to earn. Socialism
would offer sn equality of possssaloa
which would soon leave no one any-
thing to possess; Republicanlem would
give equality of opportunity whloh
would assure to each his shars of a
constantly Increasing sum of poeaes-
slons. In line with this tendency, the
Democratic party of to-day believes
In government ownership, while the
Republican party believes in govern-
ment regulation. Ultimately, Democ-
racy would have the nation owa the
people, while Republicanlem would have
the people own the nation.
"Upon Thia 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 tfie
support not only of those who have
acted with us heretofore, but of all
our fellow cltisens, who, regardlsss of
past political differences, unite In the
desire to maintain the policies, perpet-
uate the blesings and make secure
the achlevemente of a greater America.
Mr. Abram Schaeger, who reeidea
near Elizabethtown, Pa., made a vow
In 1856 that if James Buchanan ahould
be elected president he would never
part with hlB mustache. Mr. Schaefter
was at that time in Baltimore. As
Buchanan was elected, the West Don-
egal man haa not had a bare upper
lip in the last 52 years.
