ttee on resolutions contains about 5, 600
words. Regarding trusts the platform
says:
"The Republican party passed the
Sherman anti trust law over democra-
tic opposition and enforced it after de-
mocratic dereliction. 1t has been a
wholesome instrument for good in the
hands Of a wise and fearless administra-
ton.
"But experience has shown that its
effectiveness can be strengthened and
its real object better attained by such
amendments as will give to the federal
government greater supervision and
control over and secure greater publici-
ty in the management of that class OF
corporations engaged in interstate COM
merce, having power and opportunity
to effect monopoly.
1.-THE railroad rate law and yigor-
GUS enforcement by the present admin
istration of statutes against rebates,
and discrimination, as result OF which
advantages formerly possessed by large
shippers over small shippers have SUBJ
stantially disappeared is approved. The
enactment in constitutional form at the
present session of congress of an en-
ployers' liability law and passage and
enforcement of safety appliance statu.
tes and law reducing the hours OF rail-
way trainmen and railway telegraphers
are advocated.
In regard to wage-earnersg generally
the platform points tosmany laws pass
ed by the party for their protection and
betterment and says the same policy
toward betterment will be pursued.
Regarding acourt procedure the
plank as adopted by the committee on
resolutions is as follows;
"The republican party will uphold
at all times the authority and integrity
of the courts, both state and federal, and
will ever insist that their powers to en-
force their processes and to protectlife,
liberty and property shall be preserved
inviolate.
'We believe, however, that the
rule of procedure in the federal courts
with respect to the issuance of writs OF
Injunction should he more accurately
defined by statute and that no injunction
or temporary restraining order should
be issued without notice, except where
irreparable injury would result from de-
lay, in which case a speedy hearing
thereafter should be granted" :"
One plank is devoted to the farmer.
The prosperity of the country rests Pc
culiarly upon the prosperity OF agricul-
ture, it says, and the republican party
during the past twelve years has accom-
plished extraordinary work in bringing
the resources of the national govern
ment to the aid of the farmer and in in
creasing the conveniences of country
life. The work of agriculture depart
ment is praised.
/. The platform recites what the party
has done for the negro and and demands
enforcement in letter aswell as in spirit
of the thirteenth, fourteenth and flf-
teenth amendments. 1t condemns all
devices whose aim is for his disfranchl-
sement for the reason of color alone.

ber and the work Of the reclamation
