''These trusts were created under Re-
publcanism, are a modern OutgrOwth:
and to the Republican party you may
look with confidence for the ability and
determination to restrict whatever I'M

Let us consider labor: All the l-gis-
lation on the federal statute books in
favor of and for the benefit of labor
have been put there by the Republican

man and later created the Bureau Of
Labor, where capital and labor can meet
to find peace and can work together in
harmonious relation, as they should.
Many, many other great things have

near the middle of the past century

of homes for poor men with nothing but

whole New England States was taken up.
What party has done this ?

emancipator, from an humble shack to a
position in history beside the Father of
His Country shows to each citizen the
equal opportunities presented to every
individual in our United States. What
power but the Republican party has
, made this possible.
