highest compensation for labor and the
most satisfactory environments COM
patible with the successful prosecution
of business enterprises, and we will
ever insist that all property and vested
rights shall have the complete and eff
ficient protection of the law whenever
unjustly assailed.
Railroad Anti * ebate Law.
We heartily approve of the late rail-
road rate law passed by Republican
congress and initiated and signed by
President Roosevelt We believe that
all large aggregations of capital, and
especially such as are actively engaged
in interstate commerce, should be re-
strained from all unreasonable exact
ions from the general public. We sub
nit that more has been accomplished in
this direction by the Republican party
during the last two administrations
than ever before occurred since we be-
came an independent nation. Wepledge
our candidate for congress to support
any legislation appearing reasonable
and necessary to prevent corporate ag-
gression against popular rights.
Tariff.
We continue to inhexibly stand as
the earnest supporter of the American
protective tariff principle. It's suprem-
acy has been invariably accompanied
by industrial development, the eleva-
ton of labor, and the expansion of
trade and commerce. Every attack
thereon formulated into law has been
followed by languishing industries,
general distress and humiliation of Am
erican workmen. We believe that the
toilers Of our great nation should not
be brought into unadvantageo COM
petition with the underpaid laborers Of
densely populated and ignorant foreign
countries. Direct competition upon
even terms between the products of
American labor and those of foreign
labor is the equivalent of ruinous com
petition between the laborers themscl-
yes.
Taxation OF National Banks.
We demand that the capital invested
in all national banks situate in Nevada
shall bear its just proportion of taxa
ton, and we censure the action of
Governor Sparks in vetoing the bill
passed by the last Legislature provid-
ing for such taxation, and we declare
equally culpable with him the Demo-
cratic members of the last legislature
who by their votes sustained the veto.
Public School Sys tenn
Our public school system will con-
tinue in the future, as it has in he
past, to find an unfailing friend in the
Republican party. The vital impor lance
of liberal education as the sugest ade-
quate preparation for self-governing
people cannot be overestimated by
those who are sincerely attached to
our form of government. AS an i'm
portant part of our educational system
the Nevada State University should
appeal to the pride of all citizens, and
we firmly declare that until the promnl-
alton of the late Nevada Democratic
platform there has been no politics
suggested as ever having been exer-
cised in its management and control.
Greeting.
AS a greeting to our political brethren
living beyond our territorial limits and
as a message to all of the well-dis-
posed citizens of Nevada, State now
marching with giant strides toward
the goal of abundant wealth, regal
strength, and exalted civic virtues. we
confidently predict that at the next en-
suing election large majority of the
voters of Nevada will again record
their earnest approval of Republican
principles and their cordial indorse-
ment of our matchless leader and chief
executive, President Theodore Roose-
welt.
