OF the government
We hold that the efficient way of protecting
American labor is to prevent the importation
of foreign pauper labor to compete with it IN
the home maraet. and that the value of the
home market to our American farmers and
artisans is greatly reduced By a vicious none
tary system. which depreSseS tho prices of
their products below the cost OF production.
and thus deprives them of the means OF salts
tying their needs.
The absorption of wealth by the few, the
consolidation of our leading railway systems
and the formation of trusts and pools require
a stricter control By the federal government
OF those arteries OF commerce. We demand
the enlargement of the powers OF the inter-
state commerce commission and such restric-
tions and guarantees in the control Of rail-
roads as will protect the people from robbery
and oppression
We denounce the pro1igate waste Of the
money wrung from the people by oppressive
taxation. and the lavish appropriations of re-
cent republican congresses which have kept
taxes high. while the laborer that pays them
Is unemployed and products Of the people to 1t
are depressed in price till they no longer repay

the leather industry within

necessary to say that they
have more than accomplished
their object, as French Kid
