THE REPUBLICAN
PLATFORM

- AACpANooADACs AylCtlOu SuLSILdlQcO
by free and courageous workingmen
Of the United States that slave labor
had no place in the fabric of a free
and intelligent government Ever since
that time it has beer the steadfast
advocate of the dignity and the just
compensation of all those whose labor
has SO richly contributed to our ma
tional grandeur and strength. We chal
lenge our political opponents to point
o any Republican Measure which has
ct kept in view the best interests
If labor and capital alike. We recog
nize the fact that each is useless with
out the other, and that the ~happiest
results can only be attained by thei,
harmonious cooperation upon equita
ole principles. We ~zealously favor thu
highest compensation for labor and tae
most satisfactory environments COM
patible with the successful rose
cution of business enterpris a
and we will ever insist that all prop
erty and vested rights shall have the
complete and efficient protection Of the
law whenever. unjustly assailed.
RAILROAD ANTI-REBATE 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 ara are actively engaged
in interstate commerce, should be re-
ions from the general public. We sub
nit that more has been accomplished
in this direction by the Republican
party during the last two administra
tions than sver before occurred since
we became a Independent nation. We
pledge III candidate for congress to
support any legislation appearing reas
enable and necessary to prevent corpor-
ate aggression against popular rights.
TARIFF.
We continue to infexibly stand as
he earnest supporters Of the Ameri-
can protective tariff principle. Its
supremacy has been invariably accom-
pushed by industrial development, the
deviation OF labor, and the expansion OF
.rade and commerce. Every attack
.h.rson formulated into law has been
followed by languishing industries,
general distress and the humiliation
u American wOrkmen. We believ.
nat the toilers OF our great nation
saouid not be brought into unadvanta-
seous competition with the underpaid
labOres Of densely populated and ig.
uorant foreign countries. Direct com.
petition upon sven terms between the
products OF American labor and those
OF foreign labor 10 the equivalent oI
r~uinous competition between the labor.
ers 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 eulpable with him, the Demo
cratic members of the last Legislature
who by their votes sustained the veto.
