immigration of all foreign laborers, both
skilled and unsklled Into this country.
Twenty-fOur-The Republican party of Cali
fOrnia has always stood for the material devel-
opment OF the State. 1t believes that increased
facilities OF transportation. both by water and
by rail, Will conduce to that end and therefore
it demands from the General Government that
1t AID in the immediate construction OF the
Nicaragua canal, and that it manage and con-
troll the same after its completion We invite
capital to build into the State other and CON-
peting tranScontinenta lines Of railway, for we
are In favor OF competition in the transporta-
ton OF freight and passengers by land and sea,
and we earnestly recommend the early con-
structiOn of a competing transconIinental
railroad between San francisco ana Eastern
points and the construction of competing rail-
roads through the large, productive and popu-
lous portions of our own State, believing that
such competition will effeetually and satisfac-
tOriy regulate the question OF the cost OF
transportation OF freight or passengers.
Twenty-hve-We heartily indorse the propo-
siton that the farmer OF the nation by whose
iabors the staple agricultural products OF the
country are brought TO market, should receive
just measure of protection for himself his
labor and his products. Inasmuch as the price
of these prOGucts is regulated by the amount
paid for them in the worlds market ceniers,
less the cost Of transportation from the place of
production TO such centers, and as owing to the
great development of staple agricultural
products In many of the cheapest labor couu-
tries of The world the prices realized by our
farmers have Of late been unIemuneratiye 1t Is
our duty TO change this stale OF affairs. Hence
we approve OF tie plan that the Government of
the United States shonld reduce the cost of
transporting these staple agricultural products
from American seaports to foreign seaporIs, to
the end that the prices of these products should
be advanced; and for that purpose, lnaSmucb
as an expor; can be protected in no other man
ner, we pronounce ourselves in favor Of The
use of limited portion of the receipts of the
United States customs for such purposes, ana
pledge our most earnest efforts 10 have this
measure engrafted upon the laws of the land.
TO he end that the American protective sYs-
TEN shall benefit all classes of the people, aid
the farmer against tie oppressive competition
OF the eheap-labOr countries of the world, and
by so doing, assist in maintaining that steady
demand Tor labor In manufacturing centers so
essential TO the labor of our country.
Tweniy-siX-We are in favor OF amending
our naturalization laws so that no one can be
made citizen who is not Of good Tepute, and
who has not had regular and honorable call
Ing in his own land. We recognize that the
present naturalization laws are weak In their
provisions and defective in their admlnistra-
ton, and should be further changed by appro-
pirate legislation. so as 10 place additional and
better safeguards around American citizen
ship.
Twenty-seven-Wea are now. as ever, opposed
to the presence of the Chinese among US. They
are allen In every attribute that makes an
American citizen, and every year of their resi-.
dence In our country adds TO their undesira-
Dlllty as members of our population. We
demand the strict enforcement of the exclu-
sion act and all other legislation looking
toward their removal from our midst. and the
prevention OF any more coming TO our shores,
and denounce the action of the President In
suspending and thus practically multiplying this
wholesome legislation, and his attempt. by
the same.
Twenty eigbt-Mob violence and anarchistic
outrages, wherever they occur throughout the
land, are disgrace TO our civilization. and we
insist that the public peace must be maintained,
