I'VE congratulate the state that we
have made it manifest that there is
no permanent place in American pol
itics for Il political leader who ba SEES
his claim for popular support upon the
failures or disappointments OF the peo-
pie
I'VE congratulate the state thar this
political revolution has been worked
out without the people having beel
made TO suffer any of that multitude
of calamities so vehemently predicted
by our enemies.
I'VE congratulate ourselves that the
PEOPLE of the state are enjoying good
prices. good wages. good markets and
good government, and all the manifold
blessings of general prosperity that we
foretold would follow the election Of
our late superb and grand American
patriot. President William; and those
magnificent policy is now being carried
into full and complete executions in a
mastery way by the strong viii and
clear judgment OF President Theodore
Roosevelt.
In this hard-fought political con-
test, in which for eight years the re-
publicans Of Nebraska have been In the
front of the battle, we have educated
our people to an understanding OF those
higher political truths which are the
true basis of governmental science, and
have brought them to see that thru
the whole web of republican rule, There
may be traced the golden thread of
human progress toward a higher and
better state.
Tariff and Trusts.
1--WE adhere to the American pro-
tective policy of the republican party,
which has increased the revenues and
not impeded trade; which has opened
the doors OF mills and factories 10 mill
ions of American skilled mechanics and
which are the just recompense of their
tolls.
THE republican party recognizes
that legitimate business fairly capital
lied and honestly conducted has in
creased cur industries at home and eX
banded our trade abroad and enabled
us to successfully compete with for
eign markets in the markets of the
world, but the republican party is I'M
| alterably opposed to all combinations
of capital under whatever name, hav-
| ing for their purpose the sitting of
competition, and arbitrarily controlling
production or fixing prices.
For the nations defense, for the
strengthening of the navy, for the en-
| largement of our foreign commarce, for
the employment of the American work
| ;ngman in mines, forests, mills factor
! les and ship yards, and for the en-
| hancement of the value of farm pro-
duets, we favor such appropriate leg
| isation as shall make the seas give ev-
idence that American built ami Amer
| lean owned and American manned
ships are carrying American commerce
| to the four corners of the earth. 1t is
the wish OF the republicans of Nebraska
that every ship thai carries American
goods and American products into the
| harbors of foreign nations, shall sail
under the American flag.
Philippines Sacred Domain.
The Philippines are ours as the le-
| ultimate and crowning result of hon
orable warfare. and we hold them, not
for barter or sale. but as a part of the
national domain made sacred to us by
the American blood which has been
shed to plant and maintain The stars
and stripes uDon the far off isles OF the
| Pacific ocean. Under the adlninistra-
| lions of the republican president. Nc
kinley and RooseN sit, the people of
those islands have received the benefit
| of American laws: are being educated
| in schools conducted by American
| teachers; their burdens are being light
ened their hearts re.being gladdened;
their homes are being frightened ana
