It bat been a record of un paralellcd dishonesty, dishonor and dis aster. In the administrative manairenwnt It hat ruthlcsly sacrttkvd Indispensable revenue, curtailed an unerasing lUtlolt, k4 out ordinary current eiponse with borrowed numcy, plied up th public Uol.t by f-XU.iX'O.uu) In time of peace, forced an adverse balance of trade, kept a perpetual lueuaoe hanir tng over tha redemption fund, pawuod American credit to alien yndloato and rtTormvl all tba measure ami rotult of noocasful Itopublloan ruin. In tba broad affect of Ita policy It haa precipitated panto, blighted Industry and trade with prolonged dcprewlon, olosed factories, re dunod work and wagat, baited enterprUa and orlpplcd American production, while tlmulatlng foreign production for tba American market. Kvery consideration of pttbllo aafety and private lnterel demands that tha government ahn.ll be rateued from tha bandt of tboM who have hown tbenutolvot Incapable of conduct ing It without dlsatr at home and dts bonor abroad, and tball be rettored to tha party which for 80 yeart admlnUtored It with nnaqualod success and prosperity. And In thlt we heartily endorse the wis dom, patriotism and the uooiss of the ad ministration of I'retldunt Harrlsou. ltevoted ta 1'roteetloa. We renew and cuipliiuUo our adhesion to tha policy of protection a tha bulwark of A morion n Independence and tha founda tion of American Industrial develop mtnt and prosicrlty, Thlt true Amor loan policy taie forulgu product and onoouraget hotna tuduntry and It putt tha burden of revenue on foreign good; It aoourea tha Amortcnu market for tha American produoori; It up hold! the American standard of wafn for the American worklngman; It puta the faotory by the aide of the farm aud make' the American farmer lost dependuut on foreign demand and price; It diffuses gen eral thrift and foundt tha atrength of all on the ttrength of eaoh. In Ita responsi ble application It It Just, fair aud Im partial, equally opposed to torelgu oou trol and domestic monoply to icolloiml discrimination and Individ ual favoritism. AVe denounce the present Dtmiooratlo tariff at sectional, Injurious to the Eubllo credit and dt motive to lulno.M cntorprlso. We demand tmh an equitable tariff on foreign Im port which come Into competi tion with AtuericAU product, at will not only furnish adequate revenue for the necessary expense of tho government but will protect American labor from degrv dation to the watre level of other land. We are not pledged to any particular aohedule. The question of rate it a prac tical question to be governed by the con dition of the time and of production. The ruling and uuooniproiiiUlug princi ple 1 th roteoi ion and development of Amcrlotui labor and induttry. The coun try demand a right toltleuient and then It wantt rest. W believe the repeal of tho rcolproolty arrangement negotiated by the last Re publican administration was a national oalnmlty, aud wo demand tholr renewal and extension on tueh term as will equalize our trade with other nation, remove the restriction that now obstruct tho sale of American product in the ports of Eu rope and secure now markets for tho pro ducts of our farm, forests and footoi'lc. Protection, and reciprocity are twin measures of Republican policy and go band in hnnd. Democrat to rule has reck lessly struck down both, and both must be re established. Protection for what we produce; free admission for tho necessaries of life which we do not produce; reciprocal agreements of mutual interests which gain open markets for us in return for our open market toothers, Protection builds up donn-stlo Industry aud trade and se cures our own market for ourselves; reci procity build up foreign trade and finds an outlet for our surplus. To all our produets.to those of the mine and the field, as well as tho-e of the shop and tho factory to hemp, to wool, the product of the great ludustry, hoep hus bandry, as well as to the finished woolen of the mill we promise the most ample protection. We favor restoring the early American policy of discriminating duties for the up building of our merchaut marina aud the protection of our shipping Interest in the foreign carrying trade, so American ships the product of A merican labor, employed In American shipyards tailing under the tar and stripes and manned, officered and owned by Americans may regain the carrying of our foreign commerce. Tha Financial lMank. The Republican party Is unreservedly for (ound money. It caused the enact ment of the law providing for the resump tion of specie payment in 1879, since then very dollar has been as good as gold. We are unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to debase our cur rency or impair the credit of our country. We are, therefore, opposed to the free coin age of silver, exocpt by international agree ment with t he leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and until uch agreement can be obtained, the existing gold standard mutt be preserved. All our silver and paper currency must be maintained at a parity With gold, and we favor all measures de signed to maintain Inviolably the obliga tion of the United State and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the pres ent standard, the itandard of the most enlightened nation of the earth. We oondemn the present administration for not keeping faith with sugar produc ers of tola oountry; the Republican party favor such protection at will lead to pro duction on American aoil of all the ugar which American people use, and for which they pay to other oountrle more than 1100,000,000 annually. The veteran of the Union army deserve land should reoeive fair treatment and gen rout recognition. Whenever practicable, they should be given the preference In the matter of employment, and they are en titled to the enactment of such law a are best calculated to secure the fulfillment of he pledge made to them In the dark day tM the country' peril. We denounce the practice In the pension bureau, o rook lesily and unjustly carried on br the pres ent administration of reducing pentdoae Slid arbitrarily dropping namee from the Mils, aa dew lug of tba teverrat condem nation of the American pw-pla. F lUtalloaa. Oor foreign policy should ! at all time Vigorous aud dignified, and all our Inter- ; est In the western lnnnUptifre carefully i watched and guarded. The Hawaiian lal- ! and should be controlled by the United i Hate, ami no foreign power sbould be j permitted to Interfere with them; the Nlo- i aragua canal should be built, owned and operated by the I'nlted Stat, and by the purchaM of the Danish Islands we tdiould secure the pmixtr and much nesded naval station In the West Indie. The massacres In Armenia bave aroused the deep sympathy and Just Indignation of tlit American people and we believe the 1 'ill ted Mates should exercise all the In fluence It can properly exert to bring thee atrocities to an end. In Turkey Ameri can residents bave been exposed to the greatest danger and American property destroyed. There and everywhere Ameri can oltlzen and American proierty must be alwolutely protected at all hazards and at any cost. Monroe poetrlna. We reassert the Monroe doctrine In Itl fullest extent, and we reaffirm the right of the United Mates to give the doctrine by responding to the appeal of any American state for friendly Intervention In case of European encroachment. W bave not Interfered and shall not In te fere with the existing possessions of a European power In this hemisphere, I those possession must not, on any p text, be extended. We hopefully look ward to the eventual withdrawal of European power from this bemU li and to the ultimate union of all Kng peaking part of the continent by free oonsent of It Inhabitant. From the hour of achieving their t Independence the people of the Un,'. Matet have regarded with avinpathy ib truggle of other American people to free themselves from European domina tion. We watch with deep and abiding Interest the berolo battle of the Cuban patriots against cruelty and oppression, and our bost hopes go out for the full suc cess of their determined contest for lib erty. The government of Spain, having lost control of Cuba, and being unable to protect the property or live of resident American citizen, or to comply with Its treaty obligation, w believe the govern ment of the United Statot should actively use Ita In fluenee and good offices to re store peace and give Indupeudonoe to the Island. The peace and security of the republlo and the maintenance of Its rightful In fluence among the nation of the earth demand a naval power oommemurate with Its position and responsibility. We, therefore, favor the continued enlarge ment of the navy and m complete ytom of harbor and sea const defense Forelgo Immigration, For the protect ion of tho equality of our American citizenship and of the wages of our worklngmen against the fatal com petition of low priced labor, we demand that the Immigration law be thoroughly eu forced and so extended as to exclude from entrance to the United Statos those who can neither road nor write. The otvll service law was placed on the statute book by the Republican party, which has always sustained It, and we re new our repeated declaration that it shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced and extended wherever practicable. Wo demand that every citizen of the United States shall be allowed to cast one free aud unrest rioted ballot, and that uch ballot shall be oounted and returned a oast. We proclaim our unqualified condemna tion of the uncivilised and barbaron practice, well knowu as lynching, or kill ing of human being suleeted or charged with crime, without process of law. IStlmial Arbitration. We favor the creation of a national board of arbitration to settle and adjust differences which may arise botwecn em ployers and employed engaged In Inter state commerce. We believe in an immediate return to the free homestead policy of tha Republi can party, and urgo the passage by con gress of the satisfactory freo homestead measure, which bo already passed the house, and is now pending in the senate. We favor the admission of the remain ing territories at the earliest practicable date, having due regard to the Interests of the people of the territories and of the United Mate. All tho federal officer ap pointed for the territories should lie elected from bona fide resident thereof, and the right of self government should be ao oorded as far a practicable. We believe j the citizen of Alaska should have repre sentation In the congress of the United States to the end that needful legislation should be enacted. We sympathize with all wise and le gitimate efforts to lessen and prevent the evils of intemperance and promote mor ality. Bights of Women. The Republican party Is mindful of the rights of women. Protection of Ameri can industries includes equal opportuni ties, equal pay for equal work, and pro tection to the home. We favor the ad mission of women to wider spheres of use fulness, and welcome their co-operation In rescuing the country from Democratio and Popullstio mismanagement and mis rule. Such are the principles and policies of the Republican party. By these pollole we will abide and these policies we will put into execution. We ask for them the considerate Judgment or the American people. Confident alike In the history of our great party and In the justice of our cause, we present our platform and our candidates In the full assurance that the election will bring victory to the Repub lican party and prosperity to the people of the United States. German Army Impresses Chang. Berlin, June 18. It it said that Li Hang Chang, after a review of the troops at Potsdam, exclaimed to Em peror William: "With these battalions I would have annihilated the Japanese at one stroke." In an interview Li Hung Chang denied that there was a secret treaty between China and Rus sia, but he admitted that a Russian rail way would be built through Manchuria, though it would not impair the Chinese sovereignty Fremont Han Bnrt In Kew York. Kbw Yokk, June 18. L. P. Hanson, member of the city council of Fremont, Neb., fell from the fourth story window of the Hotel Denmark today and sus tained a fracture of the base of the skull and several lacerated wounds in the face. His condition is regarded as very serious. DEMOCRATIC SATIOSAL FLAIT0BM The platform, a below, waa reported ty the committee, and is subject to change by the convention: We, the Diin-rnt of the lnitl State. In convention aMMiiitlcd, do reaffirm our allegiance to thoae great esaetiUitl prin ciples of Jtutli and iiU-riy Unn wlili-h our Institutions are foundi! and which the llenioi ratlc party has advnrated from Jefferson' time to our own, freedom of t'h, freedom of prma, frastom of rsmiu-lenee, the preservation of perwtnal rights, the ssiiality of all citizen before tliwUw and the faithful observance of coii-tttutiorml limitation. iJuring all these year tho Democratic party ha rtMistnl the tnudvucy of selfish intemiu to the centralization of govern mental power aud steadfastly nitu mined tha integrity of the dual sulteine of gov ernment a established by the founders of this republic of republics. I'lider It guidance and tewhlugs the great princi ple of local aclf government has found Its issit iprelon In the maintenance of the rights of tha states and Ita aaerttou of the nnocMlty of confining the general govern ment to the exerciae of the owers granted by tli constitution of the I'nlted Mates. Recognizing that the money system is Iiarnmoiint to all other at this time, wo nvlte attention to I lis fact that tho fed eral constitution names silver and gold together aa tho money metals of tha Vuited States and that the ilrst coinage law passed by congress under tho consti tution made the sliver dollar the mone tary unit and admitted gold to free coin age at a ratio based upon the silver unit. We declare that the ait of ItCU de monetizing silver without tho knowi fslgs or approval of the American people lias resulted in the appreciation of gold and a correMm!lng fall In the price of comiiKMlttles pnsluccd by the people, heavy increase in the burden of taxation aud of all debts, public and private, the enrichment of tho money lending class at home and abroad, prostration of industries and imimvorishiiient of the iicople. We are unalterably opposed to monomet allism, which has locked fast the pros perity of an industrious people in the paralysis of hard times. Hold inono inutaillsiu is a HritUh policy, and Its adopt lou ha brought other na tions Into financial servitude to Ijondon. It la not only unaniericau, but aiitiamur Icau, aud it can be fastened upon the United States only by the stilling of that spirit and love of lllierty, which riroolaimed our political Independence a ITiH and was won in the war of the revolution. We lemand the free and unlimited coin age of gold and sliver at tho present legal ratio of It) to 1, wit hout waiting for the aid or Donsent of any other nation. We demand that the standard stiver dollar shall tie full legal tender, equally with gold for all debts, public and private, and we favor inch legislation as will prevent for the future the demonetization of ny kind of legal tender money by private contract. We are op posed to the policy nnd praotloe of sur rendering to the holders of the obligations of the I'nlted States the option reserved by law to the government of redeeming such obligations in either silver coin or f old coin. We are opposed to the issuing of nte rest bearing bonds of tho United States In times of peace, and condemn the traf ficking with banking syndicates, which in exchanging for bonds and at an enormous profit to themselves, supply the federal treasury with gold to maintain the policy if the gold monometallism. Congress alone has t he power to coin and issue money and President Jackson declared that this power could not tie delegated to corpora tions or individuals. We therefore de mand that tho power to issue notes to circulate as money bo taken from the banks and that all paper money shall lie Issued directly by the treasury department, Im redi-einablo In coin and receivable for nil debts, public and private. We bold that tariff duties should bo levied for purposes of revenue, such duties to be readjusted as to operate equally throughout the oountry and not dis criminate between class or section nnd taxations should lie limited by tho needs of government honestly and economically administered. We denounce as disturbing to business the Republican threat to restore the Mclvtnloy law, whlcn has been twice condemned by the people in national elections, and which, enacted under the false plea of protection to home industry, proved a prolific breeder of trusts and monopolies, enriched the few at the expense of the many, restricted trade nnd deprived tho producers of tho great American staples of access to their natural markets. Until the money ques tion Is settled, we are opposed to any agi tation for further change in our tariff laws except such as are necessary to make UP tho deficit In revenue caused by the adverse decision of tho supreme court on the income tax. Put for this dec! sion of the supremo court there would bo no deficit in the revenue under the law passed by a Ileniocrntio congress in strlot rursuance of the uniform decisions of hat court for nearly 1(H) years, that court having under that discis sion sustained constitutional objections to Its enactment which has been overruled liv tho ablest judges who have ever sat on tfiat Is'iii-h. We declare that it Is the duty of congress to uso all tho constitu tional power which remains after that de cision, or which may come from its re versal by the court as it may hereafter bo constituted, so that the burdens of taxa tion may equally and impartially lead to the end that wealth may boar its duo pro portion of the expenses of thegovornmei We hold that the most efficient way I protecting American labor is to prevent t . i Importation of foreign pauper labor to coj i pete with it In the home market and tht t the value of tie homo market to our Ameri can farmers end artisans is greatly ) duced by a vMoua monetary system wh' r depresses the prices of their products I low the cost el production and thus privet them ef the means of purchasi the products ef our borne manufactory i.' The absorption of wealth by the few, the consolidation of our leading railway system and the formation of trust and pools require a trloter control by the fed eral government of those arteries of com merce. We demand the enlargement of the powers of the Interstate commerce commission and such restrictions and guarantees In the control of railroads a will protect the people from robbery and oppression. We denounce the profligate waste of the money wrung from the people by oppres sive taxation and the lavish appropria tions of recent Republican congresses, which have kept taxes high while tho la-' bor that pays them is unemployed and the products of the people' toil are depressed in price till thev no longer repay tho oost of production. Ve demand a return to that simplicity and economy which befit a Democratic government, and a reduction in the number of useles office, the sal- aria of which drain the substance of the people. We denounce arbitrary Interference by federal authorities In local affair as a violation of the oonttitution of the Unit ed States and a crime against free institu tions, and we especially object to govern' ment by Injunction as a new and hlghW dangerous form of oppression by which federal judges in oonterapt of the laws of the state and rights of citizens bocom at onoo legislators, judges and execution ara. and we SDDrove the bill passed at tht last cession of tho senate of the United States, and now cendinc In the house, re lating to oontemptw in federal courtt and providing for trials by juries in certain, oaset of contempt. Ko discrimination should be Indulged In bv the irovernmont of the Unitod Mates in favor of any of it debtors. We approve of the refusal of the Fifty-third congress to pas the Pacific railroad funding bill, and denounce ibe efjqrj of toe pretent oongrete to enact a (Miliar Xneakure. Kmignlzlng the jnst claim of deserv ing In ion aoiiUer, we heartily Indorse the rulo 4 the prevent com tuiwioner of )nsioii that no names khall be arbitrarily dropsl from the pension roll, and the fart of eult-t-luenl and service should he oWiuel con elutve evidence against dlar&so and dis ability brfora ODlUttm-ut. We favor ta admission of the terri tories of New Mexico and Arizona Into the I'nlon as iUte and we favor the eaily admtasiou of all the territorte having tha naoeasary population aud resource to en title tbera to statehood, and while they re ins! a territories w hold that the official appointed to administer tho government of any territory, together with the Dis trict of Columbia aud Alaska, should bo bona fid ruoldenU of the territory or dis trict lu which their duties are to be tier formed. The llemouratln party halieve In home rule and that public lands of the 1 uiled States should lie appropriated to the establishment of free homes for Amer ican citizens. We recommend that the territory ef Alaska be grauU-d a delegate In congress and that the general land aud timber laws of the United Status be ex tended to said territory. We oitend our sympathy to the people of Cuba in their heroic struggle for lib erty aud Independent. We are opened to life tenure in the pub lic service. We favor appointments based upon merits, fixed terms of office and such an administration of the civil service laws as will afford equal opportunities to ail citizens of ascertained fitness. We declare It to lie the unwritten law of Ihls republic, established by custom and Usage of lou year and sanctioned by I ho example of the greatest and wisest of !iose who '"unded and bave maintained iiur government, that no mail shall lie eligible for a third term of the presiden tial office. The federal government should care for and Improve the Mississippi river aud other gn at waterways of tho republlo so as to secure for the interior states easvand cheap transportation to title water. When any waterway of tho republic is of suffi cient lmMirtance to demand aid of ti. government, such aid should bo extended upon a definite plan of continuous work Until jiermanent Improvement is secured. Confident In the justice of our cause and the necessity of Its success at tho polls, we submit the foregoing declar ation of principles aud purposes to the considerate judgment of the American people. We invite the support of all citi zens who approve them and who desire to have tlism made elfectlvo through legis lation for the benefit of the people and the restoration ol tne country s prosperity. DRUGS FOR THE MILLION. Interesting Scenes In the Wholesale Dis trict of tiothum. There U one dingy spot in the great city where the products of the entire globe are brought together, says a New York letter In the Pittsburg Dispatch. It la the wholesale drug district and Gold street la its artery. Cold street Is narrow and busy and illpaved. It leads from Fulton street into a net work of dingy streets that are never crowded, save now and then with wag ons. The network of narrow, crooked and seeminly decayed streets is one of the busiest in town. It is here that the wholesale drug trade centers. Spa cious drug-shops uptown seem to con lain enough medicines to kill and rure the whole town, but there Is scarcely one of them that upon unusual demand for the commonest drug wouldnothave to drawuponthe wholesale district. You find in that downtown network of shabby streets almost everything in the materia medlca in crude form or prepared. The region Is redolent of spiccry and reeking with opium and assafoetida. It has samples in bales, pills by the barrel and the cheap drugs by the ton. There are casks of liquids so precious that they must be dealt out at retail by the drop to save waste. There Is the potable gold of the old chemists, and there are essential oils t fabulous prices per ounce. The wholesale drug region seems to bring together the ends of the earth. It does bring together the agents of houses the country over. Every con cern that distills helpful agents from plants or compresses long prescrip tions into tiny tablets or grinds quin ine or refines crudities or, prepares standard drugs by special processes must have an office in this maze. You smell the gardens of Asia at the door, see gums from Soudan at the next win dow, and buy dried plants from Aus tralia across the way. The man on the fourth floor will supply 100 barrels of epsom salts, and tils neighbor owns half a ton of cough drops. The fre quenters of this strange region a"re teamsters, messengers, from the drug stores uptown, clerks, drug manufac turers and wholesalers, and persons of kindred occupations. The stranger to the trade occasionally strays in, who finds dead and quiet streets much of the time. The older houses take pleas ure In signs that threaten to fall apart, any many boards bear Inscriptions that convey nothing to the lay mind. Noontime, finds a bit of unwonted com motion In the streets, when men are hurrying out to luncheon. There are moments, too, when a line of teams block the narrow streets, encroaches on the sidewalks, and explains the worn appearance of the curbstones. There is scarce a new tall building in all the region. Nightfall finds shut ters closed, lights out, and the streets silent and deserted. All who doubt the old saw about competition being the life of trade should take a peep at Gold street and its shabbier neigh bors. High rosttfe. In 1831 a public meeting waa held at South Shields at which it was e solved to ask parliament, for two rep resentatives, in view of the new re form bill. One of these was sent to the marquis of Cleveland, the lord lieu tenant, for presentation to the house of lords. This petition seems to have been above the statutory weight and in consequence a surcharge of 6 5s &d postage was demanded by the postal authorities. The marquis of Cleve land's letter relating to this is now be fore me and is as follows: "Newton House, Feb. 11. Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your let ter and petition, which I will attend to toward the end of this month. I musl remark that 6 5s 8d is charged post age, which I hope to recover or must apply (sic) to you for the same. I re main, sir, your very obedient servant "CLEVELAND."
