The platform argues the Democratic era caused vast deficits, debt growth, and economic collapse. It condemns free trade, urges a protective tariff to shield American labor, revenue sufficiency, and renewal of reciprocity agreements pending extension and stabilization of national economic policy.
Republican Platform and Nominations Outline Speech
A detailed Republican platform emphasizes tariff reciprocity, gold standard, western intervention, navy expansion, immigration restrictions, civil service enforcement, and protections for veterans. It condemns the current administration, backs the Hawaiian Islands, Nicaragua canal, Cuban independence, and Monro Doctrine expansion, plus home stead policy and territorial representation. The convention agenda notes McKinley and Hobart nominations, with speeches from Lodge, Hastings, Platt, Henderson, Fort, and La Follette, leading to state-by-state roll call.

Georgia Fruit Crop Damaged by Long Dry Spell
The Georgia fruit crop is badly hurt by a prolonged May drought and insect ravages. Expectations shifted from a promising year to a short harvest with only about half to two thirds of normal yield. Prices for consumers will rise as supplies shrink, with apples peaches pears and plums most affected. Cherries mostly spared but overall regional shortfalls in north and central Georgia.
