age.
The regulation of commerce with foreign
nations and between the States is one OF the
most important prerogativeS or the General
Government, and the Republican party dls-
tinctly announces its purpose to support such
legislation as will fully and efficiently carry
out the constitutional power OF Congress over
Interstate commerce.. The principle of the
lions is a wise and saIutary one for
the protection of all classes of the
people. and we favor legislation that shall
charges for transportation and that shall Sc
cure to the people and the railways alike the
fair and equal protection of tho avs
We favor the establishment of q National
Bereau of Labor, tn. enforcement OF the eight
hour law and a judiciOus system OF general
education by adequate appropriations from
tho national revenue whenever the same -
needed.
PROTECTION TO CITIZENS.
We believe that everywhere the protection
to q citizen of American birth must be secured
to citizens of American adoption, and we favor
the settlement of national differences, by in.
ternational arbitration.
PAUPERLABOR.
The Republican party. having its birth in a
hatred of slave labor and a desire that all men
may be truly free and equal. is opposed to
placing our working men in competition with
any form of servile labor whether at home or
abroad. In this spirit, We denounce the i'm
portatiOn of contract labor. whether from
Europe or Asia, as an Offense against the
shirt of American institutions and we pledpe
Ourselves To sustain the present law restrict
inc Chinese immirration and To provide such
further lepisiation a, ia necessary TO carry out
its purnOses
