efforts that are being made py the
ATTORNEY General of the United
States under the direction of the
President. to enforce the provisions
of the Sherman antitrust law enact
ed by Republican congress. The
record of our party, in its opposition
to combination of capital having for
their purpose the restraint of trade.
the crushing out of competition or
the arbitrary and unwarranted adj
yancement of prices, is clear and con-
sistent. And If it should become ap-
parent that existing laws are made
binations, the Republican party may
be relied upon to enact for their leg
islation as will fully protect the inter-
eSts of the people.
THE PROTECTIVE TARIFF.
The Republican principle of pro-
tectiye tariff was never more firmly
fixed in our national policy than it is
now. 1t has developed our industries,
preserved our domestic trade, extend
ed our foreign markets and contribute
ed more than any other one policy to
our present unparalleled prosperity.
Reciprocity has been well desert bed
as the handmade of protection, and
under wise Republican adminiStra-
tion, reciprocal arrangements can be
negotiated with other nations which
will result in opening new markets
for American products without in
any degree interfering with the pros
perity of our hone induStrie;. We
| therefore reaffirm our adherence to
these two cardinal tenets of the Re-
publican faith, believing that both
will be of the highest Importance in
helping the United States to win and
maintain the commercial supremacy
of the world.
CHINESE EXCLUSION.
We note with satisfaction and APP
prevail the enactment by the Congress
now in session of legislation which
will debar the Chinese from admission
to the United States to the detriment
of American labor, and we demand
that our immigration laws be SO
strengthened as to exclude all un-
worthy and undesirable immigrants
whose presence men aces our citizen
ship and Injuries our wagewOrkerS.
We are proud of the triumphs
achieved during the past five years by
American diplomacy, and we particu-
larry approve the abrogation of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty, which will en-
the construction of an iSthmian canal,
to be maintained under the authority
of the United States and under the
protection of our flag.
CONGRATULATIONS FOR HOME FOLKS.
We indorSe the course of our Sena-
tors and representatives in congress.
We earnestly commend the able,
honest and economical administration
of Governor Stanley and the state
officers and congratulate the people
of the state that under their admin
listrations its affairs have been so man
aged as to meet the appreciation of the
people of Kansas.
We recognize in the wage-earnerS of
Kansas an element comprising stall
wart and desirable citizenship, whose
rights and interests should be fully
protected and observed.
Earnestly believing that the -uHpar-
alelled prosperity which has come to
ali classes of our people during the
| the past five years has been due in a
large measure to the practical appli-
cation of Republican principles, and
that the continuation of existing con-
ditions depends largely upon the
nominees of this convention, and cor
daily commend them and the primer
plies they represent to all the people
of Kansas.
To the continued aScendancy OF
these principles we pledge our united
and enthusiastic support to the nom
inees of this convention. and cordially
commend them and the principles
they represent to all the people OF
Kansas
