REPUBLICAN CLUBS
CONDEMN TRUSTS
National League Ends Jubilee
by the Adoption Of
Resolutions.

Philadelphia, June 2O.-Reaffrming
allegiance to the principles of the re-
publican party and condemning comb
nations in restraint Of trade, the Ma
tional League Of Republican clubs end
ed it's convention last evening.
The resolutions adopted by the can
vontion are In part as follows:
We pay tribute to our great leaders
from our first standard-bearer, John G.
Fremont, and Abraham Lincoln. the
first republican president, to Theodore
Roosevelt, our present leader, the
world 8 first citizen, who, thru his rug
ton, his unfagging courage and his
demand for a square deal'' for
every person and every interest, has
gained not only the respect and love
of his fellow countrYmen, but the es-
TEEN and admiration of all mankind.
:. We indorse the sentiment of Will
} liam Mckinley that the principle Of
protective tariff is sacred, but that
schedules should be changed when con
ditions of industry, commerce and
finance demand, and not till then.
Indorse Dingley Tariff.
We emphasize the results of the
operation Of the Dingley tariff, which
is giving us surplus Of revenue, un-
paralleled activity in our factories, for
t tsts p and mnes prices for
clearings. and relatively less failures
than ever before; continually larger
volume Of employment at higher wages,
resulting in unprecedented consump-
ton of not only the necessaries but
comforts, conveniences and luxuries Of
life, augmented withal by larger saw
1ngs and Investments than have previ-
ously been recorded in our history.
We apnrova oP tho oot,or -
emit congress in carrying out the recon-
mendations Of President Roosevelt by
| more advanced legislation than has
been given us in a single session since
the days Of the civil war. =. :
Pride in Party's Record.
We have just pride in our party g
question thru the adoption of the gold
! standard; in the establishment and de-
velopment Of the rural free-delivery
| system, now extended to more than
| 10000 routes and 100000 homes; in
the progress made in opening our arid
lands to cultivation thru Irrigation;
in the well-begun work of connecting
ocean; and ocean with an isthmian ca
welfare of labor and in the COMPLETED
or pending legislation providing for
equitable railroad regulation in inter
! state commerce; for better inspection of
! all food products; for free alcohol: for
a new state; for an American merchant
marine, and the many other important
measures which have been or are to be
considered. ,.-:. ...-- 800
Oppose Restricted Suffrage.
We are opposed to all illegal combi-
nations in restraint of trade, whereby
the interests Of either producers or
consumers are injured, or whereby, thru
monopoly rates and prices Of products
are controlled at the expense Of the
masses. We wage no war on canital
or corporations as such, but we do ask
for equity and justice to all, by all and
for all. - .f5*"rs.; / Y - - -
permits oneptWeifth - Of the Tcters OF
the country to WELD one quarter of the
national legislative power. The suppress
sion and denial Of suffrage demands the
reduction of the power SO usurped. and
the denial Of suffrage should never be
rewarded with political premiums. The
democracy Of at least eleven states
should be deprived Of it's unfair prepon-
derance OF power, and the full meas.
ure Of political rights secured to every
qualified citizen, white or black, who
is capable and willing to assert, his ,i
political manhood. The political party
that profits by the suppression of the
ballot is not to be trusted with the
making or administration of the ma
TONS laws. ~
We ask for immediate Legislation
looking to the establishment Of a mar.
cells post and postal currency or notes
to facilitate trade thru orders by
mail. ~ Id '..~ -
