I'VE reaffirm our allegiance TO the

of free government itself, which should
command at this time the most serious
attention of all patriotic citizens.
I'VE enter our protest against the doc

govern acquired territory outside and in
dependently of the constitution. The Dec
laration of Independence, the flag and the
constitution must everywhere stand to-
gether
TRUSTS and monopolies, if allowed to
go on, can result only in industrial serf-
dom for the mass of the people. We op-
pose such combinations and demand that
all existing laws against combinations in
restraint of trade be rigidly enforced.
We favor the removal of all duties from
imports monopolized by trusts
I'VE denounce the currency law passed
by the present congress, which transfers
to the banks the entire control of the pa
per currency. We demand that the gem
eral government shall not only coin the
metals. but shall issue and regulate the
volume of paper currency also in the in
