ALASKA BOUNDARY.

The American Commissioners desired to omit
the boundary dispute OF the two governments
and to proceed with the consideration OF all
other questions including reciprocity, but the
British Commissioners declined to proceed fur
ther while the boundary remained undeter-
mined. Subsequently the Boundary Commission
was created and the boundary line has been
settled, but no agreement has been reached for
further consideration of the remaining ques-
tions embraced in the protocol 1t is hoped
that the two governments may be able TO agree
in due course TO take up the subject OF reci-
procity with Canada according to the prnci-
pies laid down in the Republican national
platform.
The platform appropriately recognizes COM
binations Of capital and labor as the out
growth Of our economic development and as
entitled to the equal protection and subject to
the like restrictions of the law.
The administration has enforced the Sher-
man antitrust act which was OF Republican
origin, in cases where combinations have been
formed in violation Of It's provisions. The law
which was regarded as ineffective by Demo-
cratic administration, has been invoked By
the President against combinations In restraint
OF wholesome commerce. and it has been upheld
by the courts.
The Congress last year enacted a law to
expedite the hearing and determination of suits
arising under the antitrust and Interstate
commerce acts, that the ends of Justice
might not be defeated by delay. It created
the Department Of Commerce and Labor with
authority to obtain necessary Information with
resrect to the creation and operation of cor
pcratons engaged in interstate commerce. It
also amended the interstate commerce law so
efectually as 10 abolish the pernicious sys-
tenn Of rebates, under which large shippers
could crush their smaller competitors. These
are important, practical steps taken by q
Republican President and Republican Con-
gress for the protection of the people against
the encroachments Of combined capital
The Democratic party has done nothing to-
ward safeguarding legitimate interests and re-
straining combinations effected for extortion
other improper purposes. 1t proposes as
a principal remedy for unjust combinations
to remove the tariff from trust-made goods
thereby inviting the foreign producer to occupy
our home market in attempt to regulate
or;r own industries. 1t has assumed that the
50 called trusts either created or fos-
tered by the tariff. The assumption is fall
lacous. Trusts found in free trade coun-
