Abuses Fast Disappearing,
THE effort of the national govern
ment to invoke that provision of tho
Federal constitution which empowers
Congress to regulate with
foreign nations ard among the states
presented problems of the greatest per-
plexity. the solution of which has been
attended with no little difficulty.
Without rehearsing the legislation
enacted to correct the evils and the
work of enforcing these statutes. it is
gratifying to know that the abuses
complained of are fast disappearing and
ourraow and .ha.r.au n -.
ing i'm the enforcement of the law, and
what at one Time threatened to be a
protracted and acrimonious struggle is
fast assuming a peaceful solution.
Party's Protective Principles.
THE Republican party stands for a
revision and readjustment of our GUS
toms laws as changed industrial condi-
tons at Tome and abroad may have
made necessary, keeping steadily In
view the cardinal principles of protec-
ton to American industries and Amer
lean labor.
SIN this connection ID can be safely
promised that whatever revision or re-
adjustment takes place under the con-
troll of the Republican party, it will
give just and adequate protection to
American industries and American labor
and defend the American market
against the unjust and unequal agrees
sion from whatever quarter they may
come.
Our recent financial disturbance
challenged the soundness of our none
tary condition and brought to the fore
the question of Jul banking and cur
Eency system, the consideration of
which became n continues to be a
subject of pressing and commanding
Importance.
Consideration prevailed. confidence
shaken, and nothing but the prompt and
heroic action of the Secretary of the
Treasury averted a widespread and
serious catastrophe.

ment of that class of interstate cor
porations having power and opportunity
to effect monopolies, and at the same
time will not interfere with the opera
ton of such associations among BUSH
ness men. farmers and wage-earners as
result in a positive benefit to the public.
For Railroad Rate Law.
We approve the enactment of the
railroad rate law and the vigorous en-
fOrcement by the present administra-
tiOn of the statutes against rebates and
determinations, as the result of which
the advantages formerly possessed by
the large shippers over the small ship
pers have substantially disappeared. In
this connection we commend the APP
preparation of $780, 600 by the present
Congress in order to enable the Inter
state Commerce Commission thorough
1y to investigate and to give publicity
to the accounts of Interstate railroads.
We believe, however, that the inter
state law should be further
amended so as to give railroads the
right to make and publish traffic agree
ments, subject to the approval of the
commission, but maintaining always
the principle of competition between
naturally competing lines and avoid
ing the common control of such lines
by any means whatsoever, and
| especially favor the enactment of such
legislation as Will prevent, by federal
restriction, the future over-issue of
stocks and bonds by interstate carriers.
The enactment, in constitutional form
by the present session of Congress OF
the employers liability law; the pas
sage and enforcement of the safety APP
pliance statutes, as well as the addi-
| tionaI protection secured for engineers
and fremen; the reduction in the hour
of %laborers. trainmen and railroad
| telegraphers; the successful exercise
of the powers of mediation and arbi-
tration between Interstate railroads
and their employees, and the law max
ing a beginning in-the policy of com
pensation for injured employees OF the
government, are among h most com
mendable accomplishments OF the pres
| ent administration. But there Is fur
Their work in this direction yet to be
done, and the Republican party pledges
its devotion to every cnuse that makes
for the safety and betterment of condi-
lions among those whose labor con-
tributes SO much to the progress and
welfare of the country.
PIanks for Labor.

SPEECH OF SENATOR BURROWS
AT THE CHICAGO CONVENTION

CHICAGO, June 16.-In his speech
Upon assuming the temporary chair
manship of the convention today, SEN
ator Burrows, of Michigan, made the
usual laudatory references to the
achievements of the party in the past.
noting incidentally thai since the con-
vention of four years ago our popula-
ton has increased from 81. 10000 to
81, 500, 900, while 4,000,O 600 of immigrants
have entered.
Senator Burrows then summarized
the industrial growth Of the nation, and

cial disturbances are rapidly resumine

statutes for the safety of railroad en-
gineers and firemen and many acts
conserving the public welfare.
Declares for Tariff Revision.
The Republican party declares un-
equivocalIy for a revision of the tariff
by n special session of Congress, linz
mediatery following the Inauguration of
the next President, and the
steps already taken to this end In the
work assigned TO the appropriate COM
mittees of the two houses, which are
now investigating the operation and eff
feet of existing schedules.
In all tariff legislation the true prin-
ciple of protection is best maintained
by the imposition of such duties as will
equal the difference between the cost
of production at home and abroad, to-
gether with a reasonable profit to
American industries; and the benefits
that follow are best secured by the
establishment of maximum and mini
mum rates to be administered by the
President under limitations fixed in the
law, the maximum to be available to
meet determinations by foreign coun-
tries against American goods entering
their markets, and the minimum to rep
resent the normal measure of protec-
ton at home; the aim and purpose of
the Republican policy being not only
to preserve, without excessive duties,
that security against foreign compe-
tition to which American manufac-
turers, farmers and producers are en-
titled, but also to maintain the high
standard of living of the wage-earner
Of this country, who are the most
direct beneficiaries of the protective
system.
Between the United States and the
Philippines we believe in a free inter-
change of products, with such limita-
tons as to sugar nd tobacco as will
avoid injury to domestic interests.
We approve the emergency measures
adopted by the government during the
recent financial disturbance, n espe-
cially commend the passage by the last
session of Congress of the temporary
enactment designed to protect the
country from a repetition of such
stringency only until there can be es-
tabllshed a permanent currency sys-
tenn that will avoid all emergencies,
The Republican party Is committed tc
the development of such a permanent
system.
