FOR PROTECTION, WITH TARIFF
REVISION IF NECESSARY

In this record of achieve ment during the
past eight years may be read the pledges
which the Republican party has fulfilled
We promise to continue these policies, and
we declare our constant Inference to the
following principles:
Protection which guards and develops onr
industries is cardinal policy of the Repub
lican party. The measur- of protection
should always at least equal the difference
In the cost of production at home and
abroad
We insist upon the maintenance of the
PRINCIPLES Of protection, and. therefore,
rates of duty should be readjus,ed only
when conditions have so changed that the
public interest demands their alteration,
but this work cannot safely be committed
to any other hards than those OF the Re-
publican Ta-ty.

HONEST ADMINISTRATIONS.

Our administration of the great depart

and efficient, and whatever wrongdoing has
been discovered. the Republican administra-
tion has not hestated to probe the evil and
bring the offenders to justice without regard
to party or political ties.
Laws enacted by the Republican party
which the Democratic party failed to enforce
and which were intended for the protection
of the public against the unjust discrimina-
ton or the illegal encroachment of vast ag-
gregations Of capital, have been fearlessiy
enforced by Republican President, and new
avs, insuripg reasonable publicity as to the
operations of great corporations and pro-
viding additional remedies for the proven
tion of discrimination in freight rates have
been passed by Republican Congress.
