| foundation our NolNmt OF money w
creased ana our national credit placed
upon n higher plane than was ever
reached before. a. shown by the low
interest paid on our government bonds
the lowest paid by any nation ON
earth.
We are IN favor OF the construa.
/ ton and control OF the Nicaragua ca
nal by the government OF the United
states the necessity o. such canal be-
coming greater and more emphatic
since our acquisition Of new territory
In the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
o. We favor she conservation Of all
waste waters In this territory for the
reclamation ana Irrigation of our arid
lands. and we favor liberal appropria-
| tons by congress for that purpose. ana

10. We believe In reteining all terri
tory the tltle OF which was ceded to us
hy treaty stlpulatl1na with spain The
sovereignty OF this government over
the Philippine islands must not be re-
pud'atei. Wa believe that the Anleri-
! can people have the Responsible duty
dtvoiving upon them Of establishing
thu blessings 0f constitutional liberty
( and a stable government among the
peoples of those Islands and would

n. We condemn the Inconsistent at
tliude % the democratic party, that.
while ciamoring for an immediate inde-
pendent government for the Fillpinoa,
has disfranchisud hundreds OF thous-
aIda OF voters In our own country.
~. We believe the representation In
congress from every state In the Union
Should DO apportioned In accordance
with the number OF persons having the
right Of suffraI under the laws and
constitution OF Saeh state.
-. The republican party OF this ma
ton. has, by its splendid record. shown
itself to be a friend OF the oppressed
The foundation rocks upon which cur
party stands are. liberty and freedom.
without regard TO race. color or prev
ious condition OF cervltude. q IL the
only party since the formation OF our
government that has liberated the
slave BY the force OF arms and by ma
tlonal law. We therefore dsnounee the
cry OF imperialism as a bugabo0 got
ten W By the democratic party az an
other pretended issue. Ia the hope OF
frightening some weak-minded people
Into voting the democratic tioket.
"A. We favor tho continuance OF the
republican tariff on wool and other
