Addresses by men prominent in

ing with latent treasure, still wait
ing the magic touch of capital and
industry to be converted to the
practical uses of mankind; a
country rich in soil and climate,
in the embarrassed energy of its
rivers, and in all the varied pro
duets. With gratitude for God $
bounty, with pride in the splen-
did productiveness of the past
and with confidence in the pros
perity of the future, the Republi-
can party declares for the princi-
Pile that in the development and
enjoyment of wealth so great and
blessings so benign, there shall be
equal opportunity for all. Moth
ing so clearly demonstrates the
sound basis upon which our com
mercial. industrial and agricultur-
al interests are founded and the
necessity of promoting their con
tinued welfare through the opera
ton of Republican policies as the
recent safe passage of the Ameri-
can people through a financial dis
turbance which, if appearing in
the midst of Democratic rule, the
menace of it might have equalled
the financial panics of the past.
We congratulate the people upon
this renewed evidence of Ameri-
can supremacy and hail with con-
tidence the 81 gns now manifest of
Il complete restoration of business
prosperity in all lines of trade,
commerce and manufacturing.
Many wholesome and progress
siVe laws were enacted and we es-
pecially commend the emergency
currency bill, the bill appointing
the national monetary commits
sion; the employers and govern
ment liability laws; the measures
for greater efficiency of the army
and navy; the widows pension
bill; the model child labor law
for the District of Columbia, de-
signed for emulation by the
states; the new statutes for the
safety of railroad engineers and
firemen; and many acts conserv-
ing the public welfare.
"The Republican party declares
unequivocally for revision of the
tariff by special session of con-
gress Immediately following the
Inauguration of the next presi-
dent, and commends the steps al
ready taken to this end in the

forcement of the law. the prosecu-

things mentioned that have been

"Under the guidance of Repub-
lican principles the American peo-
pie have become the richest ma
ton in the world. Our wealth to-
day exceeds that of England and
all her colonies, and that OF
France and Germany combined.

was born the total wealth of the
country was $16,OOO,O0O,OOO. 1t
has leaped to 10000, 100000 in a
