United States, through their Chosen reprtflenttttlvea met in national convention, looking back OP®® an uusurpaased record of achievement, and looking forward into a great field of duty and opportunity, and appealing to the judgment of their countrymfeu, make these The expectation lb which the American* people, turning from the democratic party,, intrusted pow.er four years ago to a re publican chief magistrate and a congress, has been met and satisfied. When the people then assembled "at the polls, after a term of democratic legislation and administration, business was dead, Indus trv paralyzed and the national credit dls astrously impaired. The country's capital was hidden, and Its labor distressed and lUThe1democrats had no other plan with which ta Improve the ruinous conditions which they had themselves produced, than to coin silver at th» ratio of 16 to 1. The republican party, denouncing this plan as sure to produce conditions even worse than those from which relief was sought, prom ised to restore prosperity by means of two legislative measures—a protective tarin nnd a law making gold the standard or value. The people by great majorities Is sued to the republican party a commission to enact these laws. This commission has been executed, and the republican promise Is redeemed. Pros perity more general aud more abundant than we have ever known has followed these enactments. There 5s no longer controversy Js to the value of any govern ment obligation. Every American dollar is a gold dollar or Its assured equivalent, and American credit stands higher than that of any other nation. Capital is fully employed and everywhere labor Is pront ubly occupied. .** No slnele fact can more strikingly tell the story of what republican government means to the country than thls-that while during the whole period of 107 years from 1790 to 1897, there was an excess of exports over Imports of only $383,028,497, there has been In the short three years of the' present republican administration an excess of exports over Imports In the .enor mous sum of $1,483,537,094. TTTK WAR. And while the American people, sus tained by this republican legislation, have been achieving these splendid triumphs in their business and commerce, they have conducted and in victory concluded a war for liberty and human rights. No thought of national aggrandizement tarnished the high purpose with which American stand ards were" unfurled. It was a war un sought and patiently resisted, but when it came the American government was ready. Its fleets were cleared for action. Its armies were in the field, and the quick and signal triumph of its forces on land and sea bore equal tribute to the courage of American soldiers and sailors, and to the skill and foresight" of republican statesman ship. To ten millions of the human race there was given "a new birth of free dom"" and to the American people a new and noble responsibility. We Indorse the administration of Wil liam McKlnley. Its acts have been estab lished In wisdom and in patriotism, and at home and abroad it has distinctly elevated and extended the Influence of the Amer ican nation. Walking untried paths and facing unforseen responsibilities, President McKinley has been In every situation the true Anierican patriot and the' upright statesman clear In vision, strong In judg ment, firm In action, always Inspiring and deserving the confidence of his country men. DEMOCRATS AS A MENACE. In asking the American people to in dorse this republican record and to renew their commission to the republican party, we remind them of the fact that the men ace to their prosperity has always resided In democratic principles and no less in the general incapacity of the democratic party to conduct public affairs. The prime es sential of business prosperity Is public con fidence In the good sense of the govern ment and In its ability to deal intelligently wth each new problem of administration and legislation. That confidence the dem ocratic party has never earned. It Is hope- THE GOLD STANDARD. lessly Inadequate and the country's pros perity, when democratic success at the polls Is announced, halts and ceases In mere anticipation of democratic blunders and failures. We renew our allegiance, to the principles of the gold standard and declare our con fidence In the wisdom of the legislation of the fifty-sixth congress by which the parity of all our money and the stabtylty of our currency on, a gold' basis has been secured. We recognize that interest rates'* area potent factor in production and bus iness activity, and for the purpose of fur ther equalizing and of further lowering the rates of interest we favor such mone tary legislation as will enable the varying needs of the season and of all sections to be promptly met in order that trade may be evenly sustained, labor steadily employed and commerce enlarged. The volume of money In circulation was liever so great per capita as it is today. We declare our steadfast opposition to the free and unlimited coinage of silver. No measure to that end could be consid ered without the support of- the leading commercial countries of the world. How ever firmly republican legislation may seem to have secured the country against the peril of base and discredited currency, the election of. a democratic president .could not fall, to impair the country's credit and to bring once more Into question the Inten tion of the American people to maintain upon the gold standard the parity of their money's circulation. The democratic party must be convinced that the American people will never tolerate the Chicago plat form. THE TRUST QUESTION. We recognize the necessity and proprie ty of the honest Co-operation of capital to meet new business conditions and espe cially to extend our rapidly increasing -for eign trade, but we condemn all conspira cies and combinations Intended to restrict business, to create monopolies, to limit production or to control prices and favor such legislation as will effectually restrain and prevent all such abuses,, protect and promote competition and secure the rights of producers, laborers and all who. are en gaged In Industry and commerce. THE POLICY OF PROTECTION. We renew our faith In the policy of protection to American labor. In that policy our industries have been established, diversified and maintained. By protecting the home market the competition has been stimulated and production cheapened. Op portunity to the inventive genius of bur people has been secured and wages in ever department of labor maintained at higi rates, Higher now than ever before, always distinguishing our working people In their better conditions of life from those of any competing country.' Enjoying the blessings of American common schools, secure in the right of* self-government and protected in the occupancy of their own markets, their constantly Increasing knowledge and skill have enabled them finally to enter the mar kets of the world. We favor the associated policy of reciprocity, so directed as to open our markets on favorable terms for what we do not ourselves produce In return for free foreign markets. EN THE INTERESTS OF LABOR. I he I re A an workingmen, we favor a more effective re striction of the immigration of cheaper labor from foreign lands, the extension'of opportunities of education for working children, the falsing of the age limit for child labor, the protection of free labor, as against contract convict labor, and an effective system of labor Insurance. RESTORATION OF OUR SHIPPING IN DUSTRY. foreign foreign car- great lose to the Industry of this country. It is a serfpus danger to our trade for Its sudden withdrawal in the event of European war would seriously cripple our expanding foreign commerce. The national defenses and the naval effl- is recover our former piece the trade-carrying fleets of "5? at the THE PENSION PLANK* The nation owes a debt of profound grat itude to the soldiers and sailors who hove fought Its tattles, and It is the govern a*Bt's daty to provtde tor the swvlvors thfse tov* ftp® to the eou#t rfif win. The pension Jews, founded this Just sea- Bailors and to their widows AN EFFICIENT CIVIL SERVICE. We commend the policy of the republican party In maintaining the efficiency of the civil service. The administration has act ed wisely in Its effort to secure for public service In Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippine islands only those whose fit uess has been determined by training and experience. We believe that, employment in the public service in thesje territories should be confined as far as practicable to their inhabitants.. It was the plain, purpose of thfe fifteenth amendment to the'constitution to prevent discrimination on account of race or color in regulating the elective franchise. De vices of state governments,, whether stat utory or constitutional enactment, to avoid the purpose of this amendment, are revo lutionary and should be condemned. GOOD ROADS. Public movements looking to a perma nent Improvement of the roads and high ways of the country meet with our cordial approval and we recommend this subject to the earnest consideration of the people and the legislatures of the several states. We favor the extension of the rural free delivery service wherever its extension may be justified. ARID LANDS. In further pursuance of the constant pol icy of the republican party to provide free homes on the public domain, we recom mend adequate national legislation to re claim the arid lands of the United States, reserving control of the distribution of wa ter for irrigation to the respective states and territories^ We favor home rule for and the early admission to statehood of the territories of New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma. A REDUCTION OF WAR TAXES. The Dlngley act amended to provide suf ficient revenue for the conduct of the war has so well performed Its work that It has been possible to reduce the war debt In the sum of $40,000,000. So ample are the government's revenues, and so great Is the public confidence in the integrity of Its ob ligations that its newly funded- -2 per cent bonds sell, at a premium. The country is now justified In expecting and it will be the policy of the republican, party to bring about a reduction of the War taxes. TRADE EXPANSION. We favor the construction, ownership, control and protection ot an Isthmian canal by the government of the United States. New markets are necessary for the in creasing surplus of our farm products. Every effort should be made to open and obtain new markets, especially in the ori ent, and the administration is warmly to be commended for its Successful .effort to commit all trading and colonizing nations through the policy of the open door in China. In Interest of our expanding com merce, we recommend that congress create a department of commerce and industries in .the charge of -a secretry with a seat in the Cabinet. The consular system1 should be reorganized' under the supervision of this new department upon such a basis of appointment and tenure as will render It still more serviceable to the nation's in creasing trade. The American government must protect the person and property of every citizen wherever they are wrongfully violated or placed In peril. We congratulate the women of America upon their splendid record of public service In the volunteer aid association and the nurses in camp and hospital during the re cent campaign? of our armies in the east ern and western Indies, and we appreciate their faithful co-operation in all worlds of education and industry. President McKinley has conducted the foreign affairs of the United States with distinguished credit to the American peo ple. In releasing the United States from the grievous conditions of a European al liance for, the government of Samoa his course is especially to be commended. By his securing to our undivided control the most important island of the Samoan group and the best harbor In the southern Pacific, every American Interest has been safe guarded. We approve the annexation of the Ha waiian Islands to the United States. We commend the part'taken by our gov ernment in the peace conference at the Hague. We assert our steadfast adherence to the policy announced, in the Monroe doc trine. The provisions of the Hague convention were wisely regarded when President Mc Kinley tendered his friendly offices in the interest Of peace between Great Britain and the South African republic. While the American government must continue the policy prescribed by Washington, affirmed by every succeeding president and imposed upoil us by the Hague treaty of non-inter vention in European controversies, the American people earnestly hope that a way may soon be found, honorably alike to both contending parties, to terminate the strife between them. In accepting by the treaty of Paris the just responsibility of onr victories in the Spanish war, the president and the senate won the undoubted approval of the Ameri can pepple. No other course was possible than to destroy Spain's sovereignty throughout the western Indies end In the Philippine Islands. That course created our responsibility beforp the world, and with the unorganized population whom our intervention had freed from Spain, to provide for the main tenance of law and order, and for the es tablishment of good government and' for the performance of International obliga tions. Our authority could not be less than our responsibility and wherever sovereign rights were extended It became "the high duty of the government to maintain Its au thority, to put down armed insurrection and to confer the blessings of liberty and civilization upon all the. rescued peoples. The largest measure of self-government consistent with their welfare and our du ties, shall be secured to them by law. To Cuba Independence and self-governmeht were assured In the same voice by which war was declared, and to the letter this pledge shall be performed. The republican party, upon its history and upon this declaration of its principles and- poiicleis confidently invokes the con siderate and approving judgment of the American people.

The republicans of North''Dakota In convention assembled reaffirm the prin ciples of the* platform of the republican national convention held at Philadelphia in June, 1900. The present happy and prosperous con dition of the American people Is the result of the wise administration of the repub lican party and the enactment Into law of the more Important principles of the plat form of 1896. Four years of democratic rule had para lyzed the Industries of the country, ren dered farming unrenumerative, Impover ished labor, unsettled- all monetary values and practically bankrupted 'the United States treasury. In a time ot profound peace a democratic administration was forced to sell government bonds to pay the necessftry gnd: current expenses of tpe gov ernment. Under the wise, business-like and patriotic administration of President McKinley these conditions have all beep changed. All branches of Industry remain active and successful agricultural Interests more prosperous and labor more generally and continuously employed and better paid than- at any previous time. Monetary values have been fixed afld settled and In the treasury of the United States, instead of a deficit, one of the marked features of a democratic administration, we find a revenue adequate to meet all the demands of the government. We favor such legislation as will de stroy all unlawful combinations of capital formed for the puroose of limiting produc tion or increasing the price of manufactured products. All aggregations of capital formed for this purpose are detrimental to ''the best interests of trade And hostile to the laboring people. The Spanish-American war was de clared In obedience to the. universal de mands under a republican administration nnd the splendid achievements ef our sol diers and sailors in .that war formed some of the brightest pages in American history. Cuba has been made free from Spanish misrule and a stable government es tablished there. Porto Rico and the Philip pine Islands have become possessions of the United States as the Inevitable and unavoidable results of that war, and we compliment the North Dakota volunteers upon their splendid record In both the Cuban and Philippine wars. We congratulate the people bf the coun try upon the enactment into law of the currency, bill, which provides the gold standard as the monetary unit ot value: Financial discussions no longer disturb the business conditions of our people and all business transactions have been placed on a basis that insures protection to capital and encouragement to the employment of labor. We are heartily In accord with the policy of the national administration toward 'our newly acquired possessions. We favor the present prohibition law and a faithful enforcement of the same as well as all other laws Of the sate, especi ally those In the. penal and criminal codes and their strict and Impartial enforcement in all parts of the state at all times. 4| pr A copy of our huxfoomftiiaap, 48*^ I (%f laches, Misted to four colors and Mounted 09 a roiler, will be sent to !r^r »ny.«ldr«^ on rocwipt of IJ cent* in coin, postal or exprew money order.
