We. IeiteIate our faith in the historic
principle of protection; Under its in
our az e?Tny has in the
in production; 1t has enabled the laborer
| to successfully insist upon good wages
and has induced capital to engage in
production With reasonable hope of a
fair reward. Its vindicatiOn is found in
the history of its success and the rapid
ity with which our ational resources
| independence secured and we heartily re-
new our pledge to maintain it.
We believe that protection and recipro-
city are twin measures. of Republican
policy and success. or, in other words.
the correct application of reciprocity is
protection. We demand enlarged markets
tories. We demand admission Of the
necessaries of life which we do not pro-
duce from other countries under recipro-
cal agreements of mutual interests which
gain open markets for us with other ma
tons, always keeping in view the fact
that our home protection must not be i'm
paired. We favor such notifications. of
tariff schedules as from time to time
are required by changing conditions and
insist that such changes shall be made
in line with the fundamental principle of
, protection.
We believe. that the large corporations
commonly called trusts" should be regu-
lated by law and supervised both in their
tendencies may be checked and their
evil practices prevented, and insist that
they shall be so regulated and controlled
as TO prevent monopoly and promote COM
petition and in the fullest measure sub
serve and advance the public good.
