haps, singular that party Of protection,
monopoly and oppressive exactness,
should provide a bureau for all classes,
save the labOring masses, who bear the
bmd as and hardships OF peace and
war. We should either provide for an
interest which lies at the foundation OF
the glory and prosperity Of the nation
by an appropriate bureau of labor, or we
should leave all 70 an equal chance in
the struggle Of life. Those enterprises
which have 20 be created and preserved
by legislation exist for themselves rather
than for the public good. We should,
therefore, cautiously upTo0t the whole
doctrine Of protection from our system,
whether il exist IN the form OF tariffs,
subsidies or bOunties. We shOnld not
extend TO corporations powers not al
lowed TO individuals. thereby creating
mOnopOlies, too powerful for the re-
straints OF government. When such
corporations are absolutely necessary 10
attain some great and beneficial end
not otherwise sttainable, they may
form an exception; but, even then, the
State should reserve a supervising power
sufficient 10 protect Its citizens from
their bapeful influence.
INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS

and ought never TO be undertaken, ex-
cspt in cases OF paramount necessity,

cent OF iulpracticRb!e. From tins rule,

river and its important tributaries, such
as the Tennessee, Cumberland, Ohio,
aud others. Ia the language Of one of
our greatest statesmen, it is rather an
inland sea than common river. The
great drawback to
AGRICULTURE
being the high rate Of transportation, ii
is the duty Of the government 10 use
every possible constitutional power to
afford water transportation, whereby
the farmer may obtain a market for his
produce al such rates as will relieve him
fIom dependence upon the caprices and
combinations Of speculatOrs. While
THE PUBLIC LANDS
should, as a general rule, be sacrediy
held for actual settlers, the government

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

we're intended to bind together cOequal

lie complete the task OF restoring the
