In this record of achievement dur
ing the past eight years may be read
the pledges which the Republican par
ty has fulfilled. We propose to con-
tinue these policies and we declare our
constant adherence to the following
principles:
Protection which guards and devel-
ops our industries Is g cardinal policy
of the Republican party. The measure
of protection should always at least

ciples OF protection and the tariff rates
of duty should be readjusted only when
conditions have SO changed that the
public interest demands their alter

committed to any other hands than
those OF the Republican party To en-
trust il to the Democratic party is to
invite disaster. Whether, as IN 1892,
the Democratic party declared the pro-
tective tariff unconstitutional. or
whether It demands tariff reform OF
tariff revision. its real object is always
the destruction Of the protective sys-
tenn. However specious the name, the
purpose is always the same. Demo
cratic tariff has always been followed
