REPUBLICAN
PLATFORM
TATE:

courageous WOIAluKultI
OF the United States that slave labor
had no place in the fabric of Q free
and intelligent government. Ever sine.
that time 1t has been the steadfast
advocate Of the dignity and the just
compensation Of all those whose labor
has 80 richly contributed to our ma
tional grandeur and strength. We chal
lenge our political opponents to point
10 any Republican measure which has
not kept in view the best interest,
Of labor and capital alike. We recog
nize the fact that each is useless with
out the other, and that the happiess
results can only be attained by theii
harmonious cooperation upon equita
Die principles. We zealously favor tn
highest compensation for labor and ia,
most satisfactory environments conf
patible with tho successful .rose
cution of business enterpris -
and we viii ever insist that all prop
erty and vested rights shall nave the
complete and efficient protection of the
law whenever unjustly sssailed.
RAILROAD ANTI-REBATE LAW.
We heartily approve of tho 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 are are actively engaged
in interstate commerce, should be re-
ions from the general public. We sub
| init that more has been accomplished
in this direction BY the Republican
party during the last two administra-
tions than ave before occurred since
we became an independent nation. We
| pledge our candidate for congress to
support any Legislation appearing reas
,nable and necessary to prevent corpor
ate aggression against popular rights.
TARIFF.
We continue to infexibly stand as
The earnest supporters Of the Ameri-
can protective tariff principle. Its
supremacy has been invariably accom-
plished by industrial development, the
elevation Of labor, and the expansion OF
trade and commerce. Every attack
.hereon formulated into Law has been
followed BY languishing industries,
general distress and the humiliation
Of American wosknen. We believe
thst the toiiers Of our great nation
should not be brought into unsdvanta-
geous competition with the underpaid
iaborers Of densely populated and ig-
aorant foreign countries. Direct com.
petition upon even terms between the
products Of American labor and those
Of foreign labor 10 the equivalent u
r~uinous competition between the labor
ere themselves.
TAXATION OF NATIONAL BANKS.
We demand that the capital invested
in all national banks situated 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 SYSTEM.
Our public school system will con
tiruc in the future, as it has in the
past, to and m unfailing friend in the
Republican party. The vital import
ance Of liberal education as the sures,
adequate preparation for q s~elf-govern'
ing people cannot be overestimated by
those who are sincerely attached ia
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 promul
CATION of the late Nevada Democratic
platform there has been no politics
suggeste~ as ever having been exer
cised in its management and control.
!. GREETING.
j Az . greeting to our political breth'
zen living beyond our territorial limits
and a. = message to all of the well-dis'
posed citizens Of Nevada, . state now
marching with great strides toward
the goal Of abundant wealth, regal
strength and exalted civic virtues, we
confidently predict that At the next
ensuing election a large majority of
the voters of Nevada will again record
their earnest approval Of Republican
principlese and their cordial indorse.
