Our stocks are large and prices small- ' ; 4- The Republicans of Pennsylvania reaffirm their adherence to the doctrine of protection to American industries. Two years ago our mills were closed and our manufacturing, commeadal, agricultural and business interests were prostrated. To-day our mills are opened, labor is given full employment and a general revival of industrial activity promises renewed prosperity to our State. We reaffirm the declaration made in the last Republican national platform in favor of the construction of the Nicaragua Canal. We believe that the present war has demonstrated beyond question the imperative necessity of this canal for purposes of national defense and for the development of our foreign and domestic commerce, and we call on Congress to push this work as speedily as possible. We express our gratitude to our Senators and to the Congressmen of this State for their efforts in securing such appropriations from the national Government as will insure the final completion of the improvements upon the Ohio, the Allegheny and the Monongahela Rivers, so that free slack water navigation will be secured to the people of that great manufacturing and industrial region; and we demand that the national Government shall continue the appropriation for the improvement of the Delaware River until its channel shall be of sufficient depth and width to receive the largest battleships and the biggest vessels of our merchant marine into the port of Philadelphia. Recognizing that Western Pennsylvania is destined to Decome the manufacturing center of the world, we demand that Congress shall make adequate provision for the construction of a water way between the slack water navigation of the Ohio and its tributaries and the Great Lakes, and we express our cordial approval and pledge our earnest support of the proposed canal connecting the Great Lakes with the seaboard. We reaffirm the declaration in the platform of the Repnblican party in this State in 1897 in favor of the law restricting immigration of cheap foreign laborers, who are unwilling and unqualified to assume the duties of American citizenship, but who enter into competition with our own American people. We heartily and cordially indorse the administration of President McKinley. The people of Pennsylvania appreciate his patriotism and statesmanship and have implicit confidence in his ability to guide the nation at this time. His judicious and patriotic coarse in the present war has won for him the admiration and respect of statesman throughout the world. The purity of his patriotism and the wisdom of his statesmanship are such that in the conduct of the present war sectionalism has disappeared and he receives the earnest support of the American people.

Following is the platform of the Republican party adopted by the Republican cenvention held at Harrisburg June J, 1898: 1. The Republican party of Pennsylvania, in convention assembled, ratifies and reaffirms the doctrines enunciated in the Republican national platform adopted at St. I.ouis in 1896, and approved by the people at the last Presidential election. 2. We declare our emphatic approval of the wise and patriotic course ot the President and Congress in the present crisis. We appreciate the high statesmanship which led the President to resort to every honorable means to avoid the necessity of a war with Spain. The conditions prevailing in the island of Cuba under Spanish control had become seriously injurious to our important commercial interests, and the suffering, misery and death occasioned by Spanisn cruelty and barbariety had incurred a sentiment of resentment among the American people, who cannot help but feel a generous sympathy with people *0 near our own border. The destruction of the Maine by Spanish agencies in the opinion of our people demanded atonement; and our negotiations with Spain clearly developed the fact that one alternative was left to the United States, that Spain should relinquish her sovereignty over that island and that the freedom of Cuba should be rec- ognized. With these purposes in view we demand a vigorous prosecution of the war to a successful conclusion, and we pledge our earnest support to the President of the United States in whatever measures he may deem necessary. 3. We rejoice with the people of the nation upon the brilliant record which the American navy has made in the present war. The splendid victory of the American fleet under Commodore Dewey at Manila has not been rivaled in the history of naval warfare; and our people have such confidence in the bravery, skill and efficiency of the officers and men of our navy that they confidently look forward to equally brilliant victoriea in Cuban water*. We demand that the national Government ahall. as rapidly aa possible, increase and build np onr navv ao that we ahall be at all timea prepared to meet the neceaaitiea of onr national defense, to protect our merchant marine and otft growing foreign commerce, and with the same object in view we demand that the national Government ahall provide adequate coaat defense upon onr seaboard of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceana. confidence in nityoftheSt! We congratulate the State upon the promptness with which Pennsylvania filled the quota required by the national Government with trained and efficient volunteer soldiers.
