2EtUBLICAN. PLEDGES FOR THE
FUTURE.
Tariff-The Republican party de-
clares un~equivocally for a revision Of
the tariff by a special session of Con
gress Immediately following the inau-
guration of the next president. and
commends the steps taken to this end
in the work assigned to the appropri-
ate committees of Congress which are
now investigating the operation and
effect of existing schedules. In tarl'f
legislation the true principles of pro-
lection as best maintained by the I'M
position of such duties as will equal
the differences between the cost and
production at home and abroad, to-
gether with a reasonable profit for
American industries. We favor the
establishment of minimum and maxi
mum rates to be administered by the
President under limitations fixed in
the law, the maximum to be available
to meet determinations by foreign
countries against American goods en-
tering their markets, the minimum to
represent the normal production at
home, the aim and purpose of the Re
publican party being not only to pro
serve without excessive duties that Sc.
curity against foreign competition 10
which American farmers, manufac-
turers and producers are entitled, but
also to maintain the high standard Of
living of wage-earners of this country,
who are the most direct beneficiaries
of the productive system. Between the
United States and the Philippines we
believe in a free exchange Of products
with such limitations as to sugar and
tobacco will afford I'd .quata %prntet-.
tor to domestic interests.
THE CURRENCY.
We approve the emergency measure
adopted by the government during the
recent financial disturbance, AMI es
recIally commend the passage by the
last Congress of the law designed to

responding to our greater needs, and
the appointment of a national none

gress, which will impartially i~nvesti-
sate all proposed measures, insures the
realization of this purpose. The

CONTROL OVER TRUSTS
The Republican party passed the
antitrust law against Demo
ratio opposition and forced it after
Democratic dereliction. It has been
wholesome instrument for good in
