IN FARMERS INTERESTS.
Reforms Urged to Increase Comforts
of TiIIers of the Soil.

Among those whose welfare is as vital
to the welfare of the whole country is
that of the wage Garner. is the American
farmer. The prosperity of the country
rests peculiarly upon the prosperity OF
agriculture The Republican party dur
ing the last II years has accomplished
extraordinary work in bringing the
sources of the national government to
the aid of the farmer, not only in adj
vaEcing agriculture itself, but in increas-
ing the conveniences of rural life. Free
rural mail delivery has been established;
ii now reaches millions of our citizens.
and We favor its extension until every
community in the land receives the full
benefits Of the postal service. We recog-
niZe the social and economic advantages
of good country roads, maintained more
and more largely at public expense and
less and less at the expense of the abut-
ting owner In this work we commend
the growing practice of state aid. and
we approve the efforts of the national
agricultural department by experiments
and otherwise to make clear to the pub
lie the best methods of road construction.

FOR TARIFF REVISION.
Action by Special Session of Congress
After Lnauauration.

The Republican party declares I'M
equivocally for a revision of the tariff
by special session OF congress imme-
diately following the inauguration of the
next president. and commends the steps
already taken to this end in the work
assigned to the appropriate committees
the operation and effect of existing
schedules. In all tariff legislation the
true principle of protection is best main
tanned by the imposition of such duties
as Will equal the difference between the
cost of production at home and abroad
together with a reasonable profit to
American industries. We favor the estab-
lishment of ma ximum and minimum rates
to be administered by the president un-
der limitations fixed in the law. the max
imum to be available to meet discrimina-
tons by foreign countries against Amer
lean goods entering their markets, and
the minimum to represent the normal
measure of protection at home; the aim
and purpose of the Republican policy be-
ing not only to preserve, without ex-
cessive duties. that security against for
eign competition to which American
manufacturers, farmers and producers
are entitled, but also to maintain the
high standard OF living of the wage earn
ers of this country. who are the most
tenn. Between the United States and the
Philippines we believe in free inter
change of products with such limitations
as to sugar and tobacco as will afford
adequate protection to domestic interests.

RAILROAD RATE Law.
Measure to Make Tariff Agreements
Possible is Favored.

We approve the enactment of the rail-
road rate law and the vigorous enforce
ment by the present administration of
the statutes against rebates and discrim-
nations. as result OF which the advan-
tages formerly possessed by the large
shipper over the small shipper have sub
stantially disappeared. and in this con.
nection we commend the appropriation
by the present congress to enable ths. in
terstate commerce commission to thor
oughly investigate and give publicity to
the accounts Of inter state railroads We
believe, however. that the interstate com.
merce commission law should be further
amended so as to give railroads the right
to make ana publish traffic agreements
subject to the approval OF the commits
sion. but maintaining always the princi
pie of competition between naturally
competing lines and avoiding the common
control of such lines by any means what
soever. We favor such national legisla-
ton and supervision as will prevent the
future overissue of stocks and bonds by
Interstate carriers

RIGHTS OF THE NEGROES.
Equal Justice for All Men. Without

The Republican party has been for more
than 30 years the consistent friend of the
American negro. 1t gave him freedom
and citizenship. 1t wrote into the or
ganic law the declarations that proclaim
his civil and political rights, and 1T be
lieves to-day that his noteworthy prog
ress in intelligence industry and good
citizenship has earned the respect and en-
couragement of the nation. We demand
equal justice for all men, without regard
to race or color; we declare once more.

SHOWS WISE LEGISLATION.
Since 1886 the Party Has Made the
Laws of the Nation.

since the election of William Mckinley
in ls.S the people of this country have
felt anew the wisdom Of intrusting to
the Republican party through decisive
najer!ties the control and direction of
national legislation
The many wise and progressive meas
ures adopted at recent sssions of con-
sres5 nave demonstrated the patriotic
resolve of Republican leadership in the
legislative department to keep step in
the forward march to better government
notwithstanding the indefensible tilibus-
terinS of the Democratic minority in the
house of representatives during the last
session many wholesome and progressive
laws were enacted, and we especially
commend the passage of the emergency
currency bill. the appointment of the ma
tional monetary commission. the employ
ers' and government liability laws, the
measures for the greater efficiency of
the army and navy, the widows pension
bill. the child labor law for the District
OF Columbia. the statutes for the
safety of railroad engineers and firemen,
and many other acts conserving the pub
lie welfare.

ARMY AND NAVY.
Strong Sea and Land Forces Declared
Aid to Peace.

The Sixtieth congress passed many COM
mendable acts increasing the efficiency OF
the army and navy: making the militia of
the states an integral part of the national
establishment; authorizing joint maneu-
vers of army and militia: fortifying new
naval bases and completing the con
struction of coaing stations: instituting
female nurse corps for naval hospitals
and ships and adding two new battle
ships. ten torpedo-boat destroyers, three
steam golfers and eight submarines to
the strength of the navy. Although at
peace with all the world and secure in
the consciousness that the American peo-
pie do not desire and will not provoke
a war with any other country, we never
theless declare our unalterable devotion
to policy that will keep this republic
tional doctrines and assure her appro-
pirate part in promoting permanent tran

We commend the vigorous efforts made
by the administration to protect Ameri-

the government TO procure for all our
citizens. without distinction. the rights
of travel and sojourn In friendly roun-

EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY.
Under Republicanism America Has
Become Worlds Richest Nation.

Under the guidance of Republican pr;n-
ciples the American people have become
the richest nation in the world Our
wealth to-day exceeds that of England
and all her colonies and that of France
and Germany combined. When the Re
publican party was born the total
wealth of the country was 5000 600 900
1t has leaped to 100000. 900 coo in gem

necessities of civilization. such as coal
the motive power OF all activity: iron, the
chief basis of all industry: cotton, the
staple foundation of all fabrics; wheat

is undisputed. And yet her great natural

great and blessings so benign there shall
be equal opportunity for all.
Revival Of Business.
Nothing so clearly demonstrates the
sound basis upon which our commercial.
Industrial and agricultural interests are
founded. and the necessity of promoting
the present continued welfare through
the operation of Republican policies. as
the recent safe passage of the American
people through a financial disturbance

have equaled the familiar Democratic

AS TO lNJuNcrloNs.
Upholds Integrity Of Courts, But
Would Modify Rules.

The Republican party will uphold at all
times the authority and integrity of the
courts. state and federal, and will ever
insist that their powers to enforce their
process and to protect life. liberty and
property shall be preserved inviolate
We believe, however. that the rules of
procedure in the federal courts with re-
spect to the issuance of the writ of in
junction should be more accurately de-
fined by statute and that no injunction
or temporary restraining order should be
issued without notice, except where irrep-
arabic injury would result from delay,
in which case speedy hearing thereafter
should be granted.
