Extracts from 1902 State Convention
Platforms.
MISSOURI.

MISSOURI.
We approve the policy Of President
Roosevelt respecting our trade relations
with Cuba.
OREGON.
We affirm our allegiance TO the prn-
cples of protection in necessary cases
Of industries still in their infancy or un-
able to compete with foreign products.
NEBRASKA
We heartily indorse the administration
of President Theodore Roosevelt We cs-
pecially commend the justice and wisdom
of his reciprocity policy with Cuba, as EN-.
bodied in his message to Congress.
IOWA.
We favor such changes in the tariff from,
time to time as become advisable throuEh
the progress of our industries and their
changing relations to the commerce Of ths
world. We indorse the policy of recipro-
city as the natural complement of pro-
lection, and urge its development as nee
essarv TO the realization OF our highest
commercial possibilities.
OHIO.
1t is due alike to Cuba and TO ourselves
that, in accordance with the republican
principle of reciprocity, proper and ra-
/
by our government to Cuba, in return for
her concessions upon American products.
So as TO benefit the trade of both countries.
and to fully and generously carry out
every obligation Of our national honor.
whether expressed or implied.
KANSAS.
We indorse the recommendation ot
President Roosevelt that the United
states should enter into just and liberal
reciprocal trade relations with the repuh-
! lie of Cuba and we look TO a republican
Congress to establish these relations on
such terms that the benefits arising there
from VIII go to the people ot cuba and
to the people OF the United states. thus
resulting in mutual advantages and good
will.
IDAHO.
! Many Of the Industries OF this country
have outgrown their infancy. and the AM
eriCan manufacturer has entered the mar
kets of the world and is successfully CONF
Ipetmg with the manufacturers OF all othrr
countries. We therefore favor a revision
of the tariff without unreasonable delay.
which will place upon the free list every
article and product controlled by any
monopoly, and such other articles ana
products as are beyond the need OF pro-
lection.
! VERMONT.
| We heartily approve reciprocity as rec-
ommended by President Roosevelt; We be-
| leve that the urgent demand OF the eN-
pansion OF our export trade, in view oc
Il our enormous and cNer-increasng produce
| tive and industrial capacity, imperauvely
requires enlarged reciprocal trade ar
raugements and that such result may oa
secured without serious impairment or
| our protective system. That most saSac-
tous statesman, James G. Blaine, early
foresaw this, and President Mckinley, in
his last public utterance at Buffalo, gave
emphatic utterauce in favor of this prin-
ciple. International commerce on any
large scale must be two-sded- BY the
conditions which we impose upon Cuban
independence we make her in no small
sense our ward, and are therefore bound
in honor to give her opportunity to de-
yelop her natural resources. by which
alone can she maintain her separate inde$
pendence.
MINNESOTA
| We favor such modification In our tariff
schedule as is now or may be from time
| to time required by changing conditions
to remove any burdens from our people.
and to hold and extend our trade among
the nations.
We heartily favor the wider extension OF
/ our markets for the sale of American
products. TO this end we indorse the pol
icy OF reciprocity as defined by President
\ Roosevelt IN his annual message tn tho
| FIFTY eighth Congress, and as defined by
our lamentod President Mckinley in his
last utterance 10 the American people az
buffalo.
