cOngratulatiOn and satisfaction to the fact

I
privileges to none" and that in the main the

cardinal principles.

confidence in and admiration for those funda-
we IaVOr Ghe laDOrlng man S interests by

! everywhere. the rigid enforcement of our
prOhDltOry law, the suppression OF sO-cal!ed
| trusts and other combination Of capital which
/ seek to mOnOpOliZe or control the productions
/ OF the people to their injury. We refer with
/ pride to the fact that the laws of Kansas pro-
/ tecting the rights and interests of wage work
! ers and IabOrers are far in advance of those
/ of any other state in the union. We pledge
/ continuance OF that policy against all en-
/ crOachments. The condition of American la
/ bOrCrs, superior as they are to those of Eu-
! rope. must be not only protected but prOmOt-
/ ed and elevated We favor American mark
] cts for American products and American
/ wages for the American WOrkingmen, and we
| favor such additional legislation as viii secure
/ weekly payments OF wages to employees of
| municipal and private corporations, and also
! a practical apprenticeship law SO our handi-
! against foreign labor. In the language of our
/ state platform we favor legislation reducing
| the legal rate OF interest on money to six per
cent feduclng Ihe Ha 71ll44num contracC rate
/ to ten per cent, the prohibition Of usury and
/ providing penalties for violations thereof.
/ We rejoice IN the entrance OF women upon
| more extended fields of usefulness, and we
/ believe that the honest demands Of any class
/ OF clIlzens Tor audltlOndI rights ought TO re
! ceive respectful consideration The republi-
can party viii ever retain a sense OF gratitude
! TO those through whose ValOr Kansas and the
nation became free and the union of our
| states reserved. Therefore be il
! RESOLVED, That we favor the enactment
/ of a law that will do fun Justice to the union
| sOldiers-bY paying them the difference that
! existed between gold and deprecated paper
! currency at the time they received their COM
! pensatiOn from the government for services
| rendered. as it is our solemn conviction that
| there should be no discrimination against the
! soldier in favor of the bOndhOlder, and we

| most liberal pension laws.
