THE HAGUE TREATIES.
Course Of Peace Greatly Advanced BY

The conspicuous contributions of Amer

United States il Hague conventions were
ratified, establishing the rights of neu-
trails, laws OF war on land. restriction of
contractuai debts, governing the open
ing OF hoStilities. extending the applica-
ton of Geneva principles and. in many
ways lessening the evils of war and pro-
noting the peaceful settlement of inter
national controversies. At the same ses-
sion II arbitration conventions with great
nations were confirmed. and extradition,
boundary and naturalization treaties of
supreme Importance were ratified. We
indorse such achievements as the high
est duty a people can perform and pro-
claim the obligation of further strength

FOR TARIFF REVISION.

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 hest main
tained by the imposition of such duties
as VIII equal the difference between the
cost of production at home and abroad
together with reasonable profit to
American industries. We favor the estab-

der limitations fixed in the law the max
lmum TO be available to meet discrimina-
tons by foreign countries against Amer

the minimum to represent the normal
measure of protection at home; the aim
and purpose of the Republican policy be-

cessiVe duties, that security against for

manufacturers, farmers and producers
are entitled. but also to maintain the
high standard of living of the wage earn

Among those whose welfare is as vital

farmer. The prosperity of the country
rests peculiarly upon the prosperity of
agriculture The Republican party dur
ing the last u years has Accomplished
extraordinary work in bringing the re-
sources of the national government to
the aid OF the farmer. not only in ad-
Varcing agriculture itself, but in increas-

RIGHTS OF THE NEGROES.
Equal Justice for All Men, Without
Regard to Race or Color.

The Republican party has been for more

his civil and political rights. and 1t be-

NEW CURRENCY LAWS.
Recent Measure Approved and More
Elasticity Recommended.

We approve the emergency measures
adopted by the government during the

at the last session of the law designed
to protect the country from repetition
of such stringency. The Republican party
is committed to the development of A
permanent currency system responding
to our greater needs. and the appointment
OF the national monetary commission by
the present congress which will Impair
tally investigate all proposed methods
insures the early realization of this pur-
pose. The present currency laws have
fully justified their adoption but an ex-

be automatic in operation, minimizing
the fluctuations in interest rates and
above all. must be in harmony with that
Republican doctrine which insists that
every dollar shall be based upon and a.

Since the election of William Mckinley

the forward march to better government
Notwithstanding the indefensihle hlibus-
