THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
13. We stand unequivocally for the American public school and opposed to any appro- priations of public moneys for sectarian schools. We declare that only by united support of such common schools, taught in the English language, can we hope to become and re- main a homogeneous and harmonious people. .
ARRAIGNMENT OF THE OLD PARTIES.
14. We arraign the Republican and Democratic parties as false to the standards reared by their founders; as faithless to the principles of the illustrious leaders of the past to whom they do homage with the lips; as recreant to the "higher law," which is as inflexible in political affairs as in personal life; and as no longer embodying the aspirations of the American people or inviting the confidence of enlightened, progressive patriotism. Their protest against the admission of "moral issues" into politics is a confession of their own moral degeneracy. The declaration of an eminent authority that municipal misrule is "the one conspicuous failure of American politics" follows as a natural consequence of such degeneracy, and is true alike of cities under Republican and Democratic control. Each accuses the other of extravagance in congressional appropriations, and both are alike guilty. Each protests when out of power against the infraction of the civil-service laws, and each in power violates those laws in letter and spirit. Each professes fealty to the interests of the toiling masses, but both covertly truckle to the money power in their administration of public affairs. Even the tariff issue as represented in the Democratic Mills and the Republican Mckinley bill is no longer treated by them as an issue upon great and divergent principles of government, but is a mere catering to different sectional and class interests. The attempt in many states to wrest the Australian ballot system from its true purpose and to so deform it as to render it extremely difficult for new parties to exer- cise the rights of suffrage is an outrage upon popular government. The competition of both the parties for the vote of the slums and their assiduous courting of the liquor power and subserviency to the money power has resulted in placing those powers in the position of practical arbiters of the destinies of the nation. We renew our protest against these perilous tendencies and invite all citizens to join us in the upbuilding of a party that has shown in five national campaigns that it prefers temporary defeat to an abandonment of the claims of justice, sobriety, personal rights and the protection of American homes.
15. Recognizing and declaring that prohibition of the liquor traffic has become the domir ant issue in national politics, we invite to full party fellowship all those who, on this one dominant issue, are with us agreed, in the full belief that this party can and will remove sectional differences, promote national unity, and insure the best welfare of our entire land.

PROHIBITION STATE PLATFORM.
Adopted June 1, 1892.
Realizing that the great danger in American politics to-day is the corrupt influence of the saloon system and the overreaching of the masses by the few in their desire for wealth, and that this is made possible, largely, through a prostitution of the functions of government,
The Prohibition party of Wisconsin, assembled in state convention this 1st day of June, 1892, acknowledging our reliance upon Divine Providence and the sovereignty of American citizenship, do demand:
1. That the traffic in intoxicating liquors as a beverage, be prohibited an 1 suppressed and that all laws making either the federal, state or municipal governments partners in its profits, be repealed.
2 That all money necessary for the steadily growing trade of the nation be issued di- rectly by the federal government, in such forms and upon such bases as shall give an ample circulating medium, that shall be a legal tender for all debts.
3. That the great lines of transportation and communication, including the telegraph and telephone, be controlled by the government, and we favor also an extension of the free mail delivery system.
4. That residence within the nation for such time, and education to such extent, as will insure intelligent citizenship and the ability to exercise suffrage for the good of the voter and of the state, precede the right of franchise; and that no other restriction should be placed upon the ballot.
5. That our present laws relating to highways be amended to the end that the people may by a new system of supervision, be given thoroughly constructed and permanent pub- lic roads.
6. That our tariff laws be so changed that no special privileges be granted to one class of citizens at the expense of any other class. And that the poor be relieved from any un- just taxes that they are compelled to pay.
7. We favor a liberal public education in the English language, enforced and supervised. by the state.
8. Believing that the time has come when good men ought to unite, and make a great national party that shall be dominated by the intelligence, morality and patriotism of the nation, we invite and urge all voters of the state to join with us in the present campaign.

POLITICAL PLATFORMS.
NATIONAL PLATFORM, REPUBLICAN.
Adopted at Minneapolis, Minn., August 24, 1892.
The representatives of the Republicans of the United States, assembled in general con- vention on the shores of the Mississippi river, the everlasting bond of an indestructible re- public, whose most glorious chapter of history is the record of the republican party, con- gratulate their countrymen on the majestic march of the nation under the banners inscribed with the principles of our platform of 1888, vindicated by victory at the polls and prosperity in our fields, workshops and mines, and make the following declaration of prin- ciples:
We reaffirm the American doctrine of protection. We call attention to its growth abroad, We maintain that the prosperous condition of our country is largely due to the wise rev- enue legislation of the republican congress.
We believe that all articles which cannot be produced in the United States, except luxu- ries, should be admitted free of duty, and that on'all imports coming in competition with the products of American 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 re- duced under the operations of the tariff act of 1890.
We denounce the efforts of the Democratic majority of the houseof representatives to destroy our tariff laws by piece-meal. as manifested by their attacks upon wool, lead, and lead ores, the chief products of a number of states, and we ask the people for their judg- ment thereon.
We¿point to the 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 pro- ducts of our farms and workshops.
We remind the people of the bitter opposition of the democratic party to this practical business measure, and claim that, executed by a Republican administration, our present laws will eventually give us control of the trade of the world.
The American people, from tradition and interest, favor bi-metallism, and the Republican party demands the use of both gold and silver as standard money, with such restrictions and under such provisions, to be determined by legislation, as will secure the maintenance of the parity of values of the two metals, so that the purchasing and debt-paying power of the dollar, whether silver, gold or paper, shall be at all times equal. The interests of the producers of the country, its farmers, and its workmen, demand that every dollar, 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 government to secure an international conference, to adopt such measures as will insure a parity of value be- tween gold and silver for use as money throughout the world.
We demand that every citizen of the United States shall be allowed to cast one free and unrestricted ballot in all public elections, and that such ballot shall be counted and re- turned as cast; that such laws shall be enacted 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. The free and honest popular ballot, the just and equal representat.on of all the people, as well as their just and equal protection under the laws, are the founda- tion of our republican institutions, and the party will never relent its efforts until the in- tegrity of the bollot and the purity of the elections 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 foreign commerce, the restoration of our mercantile marine by home-built ships, and the creation of a navy for the protection of our national interests and the honor of our fl: g; the maintenance of the most friendly relations with all foreign powers; entangling alliances with none, and the protection of the rights of our fishermen .
We re-affirm our approval of the Monroe doctrine and believe in the achievement of the manifest destiny of the republic in its broadest sense.
We favor the enactment of more stringent laws and relations for the restriction of . rim inal, pauper and contract immigration.
We favor efficient legislation by congress to protect life and limb of employes of trans- portation companies engaged in carrying on inter-state commerce, and recommend legis-
428
WISCONSIN BLUE BOOK.
lation by the respective states that will protect employes engaged in state commerce, in mining and manufacturing.
The republican party has always been the champion of the oppressed, and recognizes the dignity of manhood, 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 men. We therefore declare anew our devotion to lib- erty of thought and conscience, of speech and press, and approve all agencies and instru- mentalities which contribute to the education of the children of the land; but while insisting upon the fullest measure of religious liberty, we are opposed to any union of church and state.
We reaffirm our opposition, declared in the Republican platform of 1888, to all combina- tions of capital organized in trusts or otherwise, to control arbitrarily the condition of trade among our citizens.
We heartily indorse the action already taken upon this subject and ask for such further legislation as may be required to remedy any defects in existing laws and to render their enforcement more complete and effective.
We approve the policy of extending to towns, villages and rural communities the advan- tages of the free delivery service, now enjoyed by the larger cities of the country, and re- affirm the declaration contained in the Republican platform of 1888, pledging the reduc- tion of letter postage to one cent at the earliest possible moment consistent with the maintenance of the post-office department and the highest class of postal service.
We commen I the spirit and evidence of reform in the civil service, and the wise and con- sistent enforcement by the Republican party of the laws regulating the same.
The construction of the Nicaraguan Canal is of the highest importance to the American people, both as a measure of national defense 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 date, hav- ing due regard for the interests of the people of the territories and of the United States. All the federal officers appointed for the territories should be selected from bona fide resi- dents thereof, and the right of self-government should be accorded as far as practicable.
We favor the cession, subject to the homestead laws, of the arid public lands to the states and territories in which they lie, under such congressional restrictions as to dispo- sition, reclamation and occupancy by settlers as will secure the maximum benefits to the people.
The World's Columbian Exposition is a great national undertaking, and congress should promptly enact such reasonable legislation in aid thereof as will insure a discharging of the expenses 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 prevent the evils of in- temperance and 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 soldiers of the republic a watchful care and recognition of their just claims upon a grateful people.
We commend the able, patriotic and thoroughly American administration of President Harrison. Under it the country has enjoyed remarkable prosperity and the dignity and honor of the nation, at home and abroad, have been faithfully maintained, and we offer the record of pledges kept as a guarantee of faithful performance in the future.

POLITICAL PLATFORMS.
REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM.
Adopted at Milwaukee, August 17.
The Republican party of Wisconsin, in convention assembled, affirms: Its approval and support of the platform promulgated by the national Republican convention at Minne- apolis; its unqualified approval of the splendid administration of President Harrison; its unqualified opposition to the proposition announced in the Democratic national platforin to repeal the tax levied by the federal law on the circulation of state banks, a policy which. if effected, would again flood the country with wildcat money and again subject people to the annoyance and losses consequent upon a fluctuating, uncertain and depreciated currency ; it denounces as without foundation and intended only to mislead the voters of Wisconsin the statement so often made by the Democratic press that Republican success in this state involves a surrender or compromise of whatever rights the courts may hold to exist in favor of the state upon the bonds of ex-state treasurers, and pledges itself if it shall be in- trusted with executive and legislative power in the state to enforce fully the rights of the people in the premises. It favors such amendment of the law authorizing and regulating the deposit at interest in the banks in the state of surplus moneys belonging to the people as shall, without impairing in any wise the security to be given by such banks on such de- posits, invite competition among them, to the end that the highest rate of interest attain- able may be secured for the people upon the people's money; that the localities on which such deposits are to be made shall not be left solely to the favoritism of state officers, and that the people may more fully know of the disposition of such surplus moneys.
It reaffirms and unqualifiedly indorses the declaration of the Republican convention held in this city in May last upon the educational question, so called, as correctly and fully de- fining the position of the Republican party of this state. It denounces the outrageous par- tisanship of the Democratic majority at the late extra session of the legislature in forcing the enactment without legislative consideration, deliberation or fair opportunity for debate or amendment of the present so-called apportionment law, in defiance of the plain provis- ions of the constitution as expounded by the supreme court and in disregard of the rights of the people. It denounces the parsimony of the Democratic party of this state in its re- fusal to make adequate appropriation of money for a fit representation by the state at the World's Columbian Exposition, and calls attention with shame to the action of the Democra- tic majority in congress in refusing to grant liberal appropriation to aid in carrying on to a successful end that great national exhibition of the wealth, progress and civilization of the world, and more especially of the United States. It declares now as heretofore its devotion to all the industries of the state, and its purpose in the future as in the past to foster and protect by all proper and necessary legislation, and denounces all attacks upon them made or attempted by the democratic administration of this state.
It believes that laws should be enacted and enforced guaranteeing to every citizen equal civil and political rights without discrimination as to creed. We denounce and condemn the cruel and barbarous treatment of American citizens of the southern states as tending to corrupt good government and contrary to the spirit of the constitution of the United States.
