"In this connection 1t can be safely
promised that whatever revision OF
readjustment takes place under the
control of the Republican party, 1t will
give just and adequate protection to
American Industries and American
labor and defend the American market
against the unjust and unequal aggres
sions from whatever quarter they may
come"
Speaking of the late financial panic
Chairman Burrows said: The receni
panic called the attention of congress.
:, to the necessity of further legislation
and a measure has been passed pro
viding for an emergency currency OF
$500, 000, 900 to be issued under certain
conditions and limitations, an au
thorization, it is believed, which will
prevent the recurrence of any such
disaster as befell the country last fall
The secretary of the treasury has al

give effect to the legislation, ant
banking associations are already
forming to avail themselves Of the
" benefits of this act. 1t is doubtful IL
the provisions of this act will ever be
s invoked, as the ability to supply $500.
600, 900 additional currency whenever
; needed will of itself have a tendency
to make its issuance unnecessary"
The appointment of the monetary
i commission. which 1t was hoped would
formulate a system that will meet
every legitimate business, vas also
mentioned.
In conclusion, Senator Burrows said:
"The platform will voice the dominan,
thought Of the people. and the candi
dates nominated must stand upon II
firm and erect. They must have the
patriotism and sagacity of a Lincoln
the ~tenacity Of a Grant. the wisdom
and moderation of Mckinley and the
courage Of a Roosevelt. With huch
platform and such candidates the is
sue can not be in doubt. The Repub
lican party confidently submits its
record to the approving judgment Of
the American people and, upon its re
newed declaration of faith. invoke:
! continuance of public favor"
Following the <delivery of Senator
Burrows address the temporary or
: g~anlzation was taken up and the
numerous -contests were turned ovel
to the credentials committee.
