that plank in the ST. Louis platform
which declares that all men under

protection of the institutions whose
emblem the flag is, even if they are
, inherently unfit to be members Of
! the American body polite Wherever
there may exist a people incapable Of

PANAMA CANAL TREATY.
We favor the building of the Par
ANA Canal but most strongly condemn
the methods adopted by President

and supporting rebellion in Colombia,
a sister Republic, for the purpose +
unlawful1y ACQUIRING possession Of a
portion of its territory.

trusts and combinations formed for
the purpose Of restraining trade, fix
ing prices and monopolizing business
We demand the strict enforcement CT
the laws relative thereto and we fur
Their demand that such trusts ard
combinations shall de deprived of al
tariff protection so far as it may b
necessary to effectually curb them
and prevent them from charging III
reasonable prices to the American cor;
sumner.
TRUSTS AND MONOPOLIES.
Trusts and all other unlawful com
binations of capital owe their bir-:
to Republican laws, and their growth
to the encouragement and protection
Of the Republican administration. w;
condemn President Roosevelt FL
maintaining in the Office of Attorney
General Philander Knox a man WIZ
was made and owned by the trusts
and who did everything in his pow9l
! to further and protect these crimina
combinations.
