Nearly three thousand millions ot api-

dissenting Republican vote In congress.
but always against Democratic opposi-
ton. attesfs the contrast between the par
ties IN this respect and yet further hher-
atty was evidenced BY the pension legisla-
ton Of the last congress.
The Improvement in our relations with /
the Philippine Islands is attested by the \
reduction u our army to the lowal legal /
limit Education aud enlightenment un- /
der broad minded administrative policy I
are gradually ohvfating the Necessity for I
control through military power and we
rNmmend the rapid and steady progress I
made In the preparation OF the Philip |
pines for the fullest practicable degree Of |
self government
In this connection we voice the grateful
Acknowledgment Of the nation for the
splendid services in the Philippines Of
that distinguished son Of Ohio, Governor
General William II. Taft.
Under President Mckinley and Presi-
dent Roosevelt our foreign policy OF
equity to all has made the United States
the peacemaker Of the world guarding
weaker nations from aggression and Civ
ing the Monroe doctrine vital force
greater than ever before.
AS Americas part IN preserving the
peace Of the world we indorse the Repub-
iican policy OF developing the United
states navy to the highest efficiency, and
we favor every encouragement possible
to our merchant marine in the extension
Of American commerce IN American ships
upon every sea.
Protection Must Not BE Sacrificed.
The protective tarin policy OF the Re
4 publican party has made the United
| States the greatest Industrial nation, as
touished the world with the tremendous
! development OF our boundless resources.
/ has greatly increased the prosperity OF
| the farmer. and has advanced American
labor ID the best scale of living ever att
i tanned We oppose all attacks upon this
/ policy. whatever the pretext, as tending
\ to bring back the disastrous days OF
/ Democratic tariff revision and free trade.
4 Changing conditions and the POSSIBLE
j dement's OF reciprocity may call for time
1 ~ readjustment Of schedules but protec-
ton as a principle and as a policy must
| be administered by the friends Of Ameri'
can prosperity and must not be sacrificed.
Combinations for the monopoiS Of trade
and kindred unlawful purposes are d.
1 rectly amenable to penalties provided by
| Republican legislation and their vigorous
enforcement in the courts. NO worthy in
terest is imperiied, but whatever VIII
work public harm is restrained, and that
without resort to the Democratic plan Of
destroying all American Industries through
tariff revision or otherwise. If further
legislation should be found necessary, the
Republican party can be depended upon
TO enact and enforce it with equity and
safety IN every legitimate interest
The Republican party having restored
the national credit after 1t was nearly de-
stroyed by the Democratic party and
having maintained and advanced ii to the
! highest in the world, with every dollar OF
full value, and having given to the people
the only banking system that operates
uniformly everywhere without loss and az
lowest cost, should now endeavor within
safe lines to stimulate local bank circula-
tion. thus securing an elasticity Of cur
rency supply commensurate with business
demands. and we favor well guarded leg
islation to this end.
