Is the Republican party not fairly
entitled to the support of laboring
men?
In our own state ON Montana,
while the Republican party was in the
minority in the legislature of 1901,
and on that account was unblble to
enact into law the declarations of it's
state platform in favor of the eight
hour labor day. yet every Republican
member of both senate and house
was in favor of the bill, and cast his
ballot for its passage.
The language of the Republican
platform adopted by the state conven.
tion on the 9th day of September.
1900, was as follows: in pursuance
of the traditional and unfailing policy
of the Republican party to seek by
practical and lawful means the ad.
vancement of the interest and wei
fare of the working classes, we
recommend that the hours of labor
be limited to eight hours per day."
The Democratic party did not make
this declaration in favor of the eight
hour law until two weeks later, on
September 10, 1900.
Had the Republican party been
in control of the legislative Assem-.
bly,. ii would have enacted an eight
hour law, in conformity with its
platform declaration.

REPUBLICANS AND LABOR.
A Few Things the Party Has Done fol
the Laboring Class.

When the Republican party first
came into power by the election OF
Abraham Lincoln. labor in the North.
ern states was poorly paid and lily
clad and fed. while in the Southern
states its only wages were the chains
and lashes of slavery.
The Republican party raised labor
in America from dependence and
slavery to prosperity and independ
ence, and increased the wages of the
laboring classes by protecting the
product Of their toll from competition
with the pauper made articles OF
foreign countries.
Nearly forty years ago. the Repub-
lican party brought emancipation to
labor, both North and South. II
struck the manacles from the limbs
of labor In the Southern states, and
rolled the stone from the sepulcher
where the hopes OF the Northern la
borer had long lain buried.
And all through its history, the Re
publican party has been legislating in
the interest Of the laboring classes OF
America. Since the time when II
abolished slavery. against the bitter
opposition of the Democratic party
down to the present hour, the Repub
lican party has been the loyal friend
of the cause Of labor. Among the
measures of national legislation
which 1t has enacted are the Chinese
exclusion law; the law abolishing the
system Of peonage; the act providing
