The Republican Platform.
?be following is the text of the
platform of the National Republican
party as completed by the commit
tee on rebutions :
We^fea??rm the American doctrine
X? ?ro*ectiori*. We call attention to
?ts growth abroad. We maintain that
the prosperous condition of our
teo'Untiy is largely due to the wise
-reveuue legislation of the Republican
tJongress. We beliere that all
articles which cannot be produced in
the Uuited States, except luxuries,
should be admitted free of duty, and
that on all imports coming into
competition with products of Ameri
; can labor there should be levied duties
equal to the difference between wages
abroad and at home. We assert that
the prices of manufactured articles of
general consumption have been
reduced under the operations of the
Tariff Act of 1890. We denounce
tbe efforte of the Democratic majority
^of the House of Representatives to
destroy our tariff laws as manifested
,*by ??teir attack upon wool, lead and
Jtea4 ores, tbe chief product of a num
*%erof States, and we ask the people
for their judgment thereon. We
$>oint to tbe success of the Republican
.policy of reciprocity, under which our
export trade has vastly increased and
-new and enlarged markets have been
Opened for the products of our farms
and workshops We remind the peo
pie of the bitter opposition of the
Democratic party to this practical
^ business measure, and claim that ex
^ecutedljy a Republican Adraiuistra
HiOo our present law3 will eventually
give us control of the tiade of the
world.
The American people from tradition
--and interest favor bimetallism, and
*the Republican party demands the
use of both gold and silver *s standard
money, with such restrictions and
under such provisions to be deter
earned by legislation as will secure
the maintenance of the parity of
values of the two metale, so that the
purchasing and debt-paying power of
-the dollar, whether of siKver, gold or
paper, shall be at all frimes equal.
The interests of the predaoers of the
country, its farmers and 'its working
men, demand that every fiottar, paper
or coin, issued by the 'Government
shall be as good as any other. We
commend the wise and .patriotic steps
already taken by our ^rovoimment to
secure an international conference to
.-adopt such measures as will i usure
f parity of value between gold and
* silver for use as money throughout
?tbe world.
We demand that every citizen of
*lhe United States shall be allowed to
cast one free and unrestricted ballot
in all public elections, and that such
ballot shall be counted and returned;
as cast ; that such laws shall be en-:
acted and enforced as will secure to
every citizen, be he rich or poor,
native or foreign born, white or black,
this sovereign right guaranteed by
the Constitution. A free and honest
i-popular ballot, just and real repre
??entation of all people, as well as
their just and equal protection under
the laws, are the foundation of our
Republican institutions, and the party
will never relent its efforts until the
integrity of the ballot and the purity
??electione shall be fully guaranteed
and protected in every State.
We denounce the continued
inhuman outrages perpetrated upon
American citizens for political reasons
in certain Southern States of the
Union.
?We ,favor the extension of our
f foreign commerce, the restoration of
. onr mercantile marine by home built
ships aud the.creation of a navy for
. the protection of our national inter
. este and tbe honor of our flag, the
.maintenance of tbe most friendly
^relations with all foreign Powers,
.entangling alliance with none, aud
T&e protection of the rights of fisher
men. We reaffirm our approval of
the Monroe doctrine and believe 5
the achievement of ?be n^?ifest
destiny of the Republic in ^s broadest
sense.
We. favor ?,e enactment of more
stringent. jaws and regulations for the
restriction of criminal, pauper and ?
contract immigration.
We favor efficient legislation by
Congress to protect the ii?? and limbs
of employees of transportation com
panies engaged in carrying on Inter
State commerce, and recommend
legislation by the respective Slates
that will piotect employees engaged
in State commerce, in mining and
manufacturing.
The Republican party has always
been a champion of the oppressed
and recognizes the dignity of man
hood, irrespective of faith, color or
nationality ; it sympathizes with the
cause of home rule in Ireland and
protests against the persecution of
the Jews in Russia. The ultimate
reliance of free popular government
is the intelligence of the people and
the maintenance of freedom among
its men. We, therefore, declare
anew our devotion to liberty of
thought and conscience, of speech
and press, and approve all agencies
and instrumentalities which contrib
ute to the edocatiou of the children
of the land, but, while insisting upon
the fullestmeasure of religious liberty,
we are opposed to any union of
Church and State.
We reaffirm our opposition,
declared in the Republican platform
of 1 ?88, to all combinations of capital,
organized in trusts or otherwise, to
control arbitrarily the condition ?>f
trade among our Citizens. We
heartily endorse the action already
taken upon th e subject, and ask for
suob further legislation as m*y be
required to remedy any defects in the
existing laws and to render their
enforcement more complete and
effective.
We approve the policy of extend
ing to towns, vi 1 iges and ruta!
communities tho advantages of the
free delivery service, now enjoyed
by the larger cities of the country,
and reafti'tn the declaration contained
in the Rtpublican platform of I*v8,
pledging the reduction of le 1er
postage to one cent at the earliest
possible mom e t consistent with the
maintenance of the postoffice depart
ment and the highest class of postal
service.
We commend the spirit and evi
dence of reform in tiie civil service
i??*- wise au ! consistent catorce
ment by the Republican party of the
laws regulating the same.
The construction of the Nicaragua
Canal is of the highest importance to
the American people as a measure of i
national defence, and to build up and |
maintain American commerce, and it |
Should be- controlled by the United
States Government.
We favor the admission of the
remaining Territories at the earliest
practicable day, having due regard to
the interests of the people of the
United States. All Federal officers
appointed for the Territories should
be selected from bona fide residents
thereof, and the 'ight of self govern
ment should be accorded as far as
practicable.
We favor the cession, subject to
homestead laws, of the and public
lands to the States and Territories in
which they lie, uuder such Congress
ional restrictions as to disposition, re
clamation and occupancy by settlers
as will secure the maximum benefits
to the people.
The World's.Columbian Exposition
?s a great national undertaking, and
I Congress should promptly enact such
reasonable legislation in aid thereof
as will insure the discharging of the
expense and obligations incident
thereto and the attainment of results
commensurate with the* dignity and
progress of the nation
We sympathize with all wise and
legitimate efforts to lessen and pre
vent the evils of intemperance anc
promote morality.
Ever mindful of the services and
sacrifices of the men who saved the
life of the nation, we pledge anew to
the veteran soldier of the Republic a
watchful care and tecognition of their
I just claims upon a grateful people.
We commend the able, patriotic
and thoroughly American Administra
tion of President Harrison. Under it
the country has enjoyed remarkable
prosperity and dignity, and the honor
of the nation, at home and abroad,
have beeu faitfully maintained, and
we offer a record of pledges kept as
a guarantee of faitful performance in
the future.
State Banks of Issue.
Commenting on the platform of the
Florida democrats, which demands the
repeal of ait laws imposing a tax on
state banks. The Richmond Dispatch
remarks that "when that law is repealed
we may have banks at every crossing of
the roads, and a circulation not good a
hundred miles from home " And it
adds : "These banks"?meaning the
cross-roads banks?"would be a sorry
substitute for the excellent backs we
now have." Undoubtedly, but the
jump from "we may have banks at
every crossing of the roads" to cross
roads banks in actual operation is a feat
of the imagination that we did not ex
pect to see performed is the colamos of
our staid aod sober coutemporary, The
Richmond Dispatch.
It is co doubt a very conveniect way
of disposing of the substance of a
dream or a freak cf the imagination,
and now that The Dispatch has its cross
roads backs in as active operation as
they are likely to be in this rough-and
tumble, we advise it to turn its atten
tion to the real proposition which lies
behind the suggestion of the Florida
platform.
Oar contemporary will find, on reflec
tion, that it is a very interesting ques
tion indeed, this proposition to abolish j
the tax on the circulation of stare
banks and to establish in place of tbe
cotes of national banks a currency more
local and elastic and better fitted to the
needs of the people and to the demands
of business. It must be borne in mind
that this proposition does cot involve
any serious criticism on the national
banks. The most intelligent and con
servative bankers and the most thor
oughly equipped financiers are perfectly
willing to concede that tbe carioca!
back system does cot fill the larger
demands of peace and prosperity?the
demaods and necessities that grow out
of the extraordinary material develop
ment that has marked the commercial
and industria] hi?."ory of the country j
siacp the ;? .
We are very far from belittling the
ifnVtencyof the national backlog sys
tem. For the purpose for which it was
devised?the floating of Uoited States
bonds in time of war?it was a perfect
system, aod it has been a fairly good
system since the war. But it has cot
kept pace with the growth of the busi
ness of tbe country or with the necessi
ties of the people. The restrictions
with which its operations were hedged
about suited very well the doubt, inse
curity, and temptations to speculation
that mark a war period, but they do not
fit the communal coofideoce (if we may
improimse a term) which exists io time
of peace and comparative prosperity.
More than this the natioual banks
are not keeping up their circulation.
In order to do so they have to buy gov
eromeot bonds to tho amount of 90 per
cent of the notes they propose to issue.
Instead of buying bonds as a basis for
circulation they Sod that they can em
ploy the money itself nuire profitably io
.short loans and in speculation. This
is only another way of saying that the
national banks are rapidly ceasing to be
i banks of issue.
John Sherman in his recent speech j
in the secate describes the process by
which the state banks that existed dur
ing the war were changed into national
! tanks. "We told the state banks,"
said Sherman, "thar, if they did cot
resolve themselves info national banks
we would tax them 10 per cent on their
circulation. If they did it, we would
j give them the right to issue tin ir own
! currency to the estent of 90 per cent
? on the security of the United States
I bonds tbey might deposit/' Here we
' have not only the process, but the
; motive itself, ?y compelling the state
; banks to become oatioual banks, the
I federal government created a market
for its bonds, and thero is no doubt
that ti e scherno succeeded in tiding it
over a very critical period duriug the
war.
Y>ut the crisis passed iong ago. The
policy of the people is to pay off the
war debt and redeem the bonds of the
government as rapidly as possible. In
his speech Jchn Sherman practically
bids farewell to the 'national binking
system, and it i.; not at all likely that
there trill be any serious attorni t to
keep it g oing What more natural,
indeed, than that the national banks,
when the ten per cent tax i> abolished,
shou'd reassume th-.'ir functions as .-ta*o
banks, managed by the experienced and
eonservatirc men who manage theoi
now ?
Th< se who have a doubt about state
banks shou d bear in rutad the fact that
some of tho most ? sprricuced li.uu-i r.s
in tbe country are iu favor of the sys
tem. The New York Financial Chron
icle, the mouthpiece of the most con
servative business element, in the north,
is in favor of the repeal of the 10 per
cent tax on the circulation of state
banks, and it is engagod in giving
sound reasons why a sjstem of state
banks of issue would settie many finan
cial problems and dissipate various here
sies which now disturb political discus
sion.
A good deal has been written on this
subject, but we have never yet seeu a
sensible reason advanced why a prop
erly guarded system of Etate banks of
is?ec would not be even more satisfac
tory now than it was before the war in
Georgia and South Carolina, where its
operations were all that could be de
sired. We should be glad to see Tbe
Richmond Dispatch discuss this ques
tion oo its merits and possibilities.?
Atlanta Constitution.
State Bank Currency.
A local currency, then, for local pur
poses which the farmer can secure upon
the pledge of his property by reason of
the fact that the Rank managers are
his neighbors who koow fcim, is what
the Southern people want and the
odium which the old State Bank notes
brought on themselves is no proper
argument iu reply to their demand,
because conditions have (hanged and
there is now an abundance of national
currency for national purposes so that
the local currency would never be
called on to perform national functurr"
?Bichmond Times.
We believe as firmly as we believe
that the coutinect upon which we live
lies between two oceans that the resto
ration of the State Banks is the true
and only solution of the financial prob
lem which the effort is now being made
to solve in so many different ways,
some of which are impossible or imprac
ticable, other* of which would solve it
only partially. The State bank covers
the ground and it is the only system
that does ?Wilmington Sfar.
Tbe national bauk system, one of
the best ever devised while the condi
tions existed which it was intended to
meet, is worn o it. In its nature it was
a temporary expedient. The fact that
its day has passed and that a substitute
for it must be found is now being ac
knowledged by the people who are its
natural defenders, ai;d with whom its
"benefits lingered longest. Within a
very short time we expect to see the
inadequacy o? the system., under pres
ent circumstances, generally acknowl
edged, aud the work of prc-vMiog a
substitute for it actively begun.
The contest will be between the old
greenback scheme and the proposition
to repeal the Federal tax on the issuer
of State banks, thereby permitting the
people to provide their own money,
under State laws. This contest will
not be affected greatly by ?be silver
question, aud we believe will be decided
iu favor of State banks.?Macon Tele

An Un preeden ted Amount
of Work in the House.
Washington, June 6.?An almost
if not entirely, unprecedented amount
of work was dune by the house to
day.
The anti-option bill was passed.
The river and harbor bill was taken
from the calendar and sent to con
ference, which insures ils passage.
The bill taking the 10 per cent tax
off of banks ether than national was
voted upon and defeated.
. Bills admitting Arizona and New
Mexico as states were passed.
So was the bill appropriating $50,
000 for a pedestal for a etatue of
General Sherman in this city.
The legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill, one of the
biggest of the whole lot of appropria
tion bills, was passed.
If Reed, Burrows and Borrto?e, the
republican leaders who are out at
Minneapolis, had been liere, the
chances are that much of this could not
have been accomplished.
The work of the day insures an
early adjournment of congress. That
event can now be expected jiot later
than the 1st of August. It loay be as
early as the middle of July. All of
the business today was transacted
under suspension of the rnles.
A Promised Extradition Con
troversy.
CoLUMii?A, S. C, June 13.?Gover
nor Tillman and Governor Northen are
tabled to have another extradition con
troversy. The issue this time is an ex
ceedingly novel one and is without a
parallel, perhaps, in the history of re
quisitions The facts of the ca3e are
that Andy Cardlar, white, rowing io a
canoe in the Savannah river opposite
Hart county, Georgia, and Anderson
county. South Carolina, was fired at
by J R. Simpson. Cardlar had the
case brought up at the recent term of
the court of general sessions and a true
bill was brought in against Simpson on
the charge of assault with attempt to
murder. Simpson, anticipating the
requistion. wrote Governor Tillman that
if he had to be tried for any crime it
would have to be in the South Carolioa
courts as the canoe was nearest the
South Carolina shore and he was on the
South Carolina side when the shot was
fired. Simpson is willing to stand his
trial in the South Carolina courts.
Governor Tillman is undecided whether
he will honor the reuuistion and if he is
satisSed that the case should be tried in
this State will so write Governor North
en. preliminary hearing of the case
wili be had during the week.

The Color Line in Crime.
Governor Tiilnian's declaration that
he would, as Chief Executive of the
State, willingly lead a mob in lynching
a negro who had committed an assault
upon a white woman may win the ap
proval of public sentiment in South
Carolina, but it will shock the moral
sense of more orderly communities
It is a contemptous defiance to law
and order, and a reckless appeal to the
mob spirit for campaign effect. Gover
nor Tillman is seeking a re-election
and his methods, as indicated by this
utterance arc thoso of the demagogue.
The Governor makes a dangerous
innovation in drawing the color line on
crime. The idea that an offence com
mitted by a negro should be punished
more swiftly or more severely than the
same deed committed by a white man
is a dangerous sentiment It is a false
notion, and will lead its followers into
grave dangers. It prevails in many
communities, no doubt but Governor
Tillman is the first man to give it a dis
tinct official recognition. He has dis
graced himself by doirjg so and if
South Carolina aspires to the same bad
eminence she can gain it by endorsing
his position through a re-election.?
New York Press.
Senator Irby, as will be seen from a
letter addressed to Mr. A. G. Wise, of
Prosperity, which is published else
where, takes the ground that enroll
ment on a club list is not necessary to
entitle any one to vote in the Demo
cratic primaries. Tbe Senator is, in
oar opinion, decidedly "off"' in this
matter. If the provision of the consti
tution making the club list boooks "the
registry lists" in the primaries, meaos
anything at all, it certaioly means that
enrollment is a prerequisite to voting.
