IN PERFECT HARMONY
AT STATE CONVENTION

VI NOllu-Mlut ptdI's
mo question now pressing for atten.
ton can be of greater importance than
that which concerns the interests of
capital and labor, and we pledge our.
selves to the protection OF these two
servants of civilization. Labor is the
superior of capital. and deserves mucl
more consideration. To secure for Ia.
DOR the consideration it deserves. to
uphold the dignity OF toh, to create a.
, healthy opinion on the subject of la
| Dor and the justice of its receiving a
| full share of the value it creates to
bring labor and capital together on
common ground in the adjustment OF
such questions as may concern these
two great factors in production, 1t is
necessary that labor should be intelli
gently organized. We believe in few.
ar hours and larger rewards for labor,
and favor such laws as will harmonic
the interests of labor and capital. and
tend to tighten the burden OF toll.

"Trusts.-We recognize that neCessi
ty of cooperation in order to meet new
Conditions in the Industrial world and
to compete successfully for the worlds
in0rkets; but all combinations that sti'
tie competition. control prices. limit
production. or unduly increase profits
or values. and especially when they
Irr,se the prices Of the necessities o.
lite. are opposed to public policy
should be reprcssed with strong
Ihpnd.
The Republican party is the only
enc that has dealt COurageously and
honestly with the trust question. It
crGcted, as early as 1880 a law framed
81 orman, to prohibit and punish com
l. nations in restraint Of trade, the con.
ltrOl OF wares or the advancement OI
IpiiCes. This act, framed by a Repuh
lean statesman, passed by Repubi
can Congress and signed by a Republi
can President, has proved beneficial,
preventing abuses where abuses were
IlCund to exist. and is now being vigOr
Uusly upheld by Republican Admins
ItratiOn in the prosecution OF unlawful
combinations. Subsequent to the en-.
lacjment OF this law the democratic
yarty obtained control of both
branches Of Congress and the Presi.
dcncy. It constantly asserted hostility
to trusts, but failed to place upon the
statute books a single line OF legisla.
ton which would aid in their control

ask no guerdOn save that which We
ihaye-the gratitude OF a free people.
Furthermore, we believe 1t is due alike
to Cuba and ourselves that in accord.
IPnCe with the Republican principle OF
reciprocity, proper and reasonable
trade concessions shall be made by
our Government to Cuba in return Tor
