THE PARTY OF EXPANSION.
The Republican party was found
ed upon the principle that tins
government was established to pro-
tect for all times the rights and
opportunities of every Individual
from infringement. That principle
it has successfully maintained.
Through the civil war 1t conse-
Grated reunited country to tree
and equal American citizenship. 1t
has kept the channels OF interstate
commerce open for all and, through
the national banking system, the
refunding of the national debt, re-
sumption of specie payments the
gold standard and the emergency
currency law, has sustained the lie
current of national integrity.
As trustee of the national wealth
it has investigated mineral regions,
surveyed soils, developed water
ways, including the Panama canal,
irrigated deserts, conserved water
sheds, and husbanded the public
lands. Protecting American labor
by regulation and by taking at the
custom house to pay American
taxes, foreign capitals advantage
from low wages, it has preserved to
American industries the home
market of eighty millions of the
worlds greatest consumers, and so
laid the surest basis for American
competition in foreign markets
Uniting capital and labor, thus, in
common prosperity and common
source of increased reward, it has
created opportunities, improved
conditions of employment, brought
about a higher standard of living,
and more widespread distribution
of wealth and well-being, and made
expansion moral as we'll as ma
terial.
Entrusted with insular posses
sions, it has brought them peace
and progress, and provided for the
extension and protection of Ameri-
can trade, for the national defense,
and for the honorable discharge OF
the responsibilities of world great
ness. Maintaining peace at home
with foreign nations and among
them, it has given American rights
and American opportunities new
meaning throughout the nation
and throughout the world.

ton, to be followed by reaction and
retrogression; it has stood firm fol
evolution by constant, steady and
enduring progress. Finding trusts
giant born, furnishing under sup.
posed conflict of state and nationa1
law, the double prohibition of ex.
istence serving to foster their de.
velopment, it has never, in an at.
tempt to destroy trusts, withdrawn
in state or nation, the protection o.
law from property, but has, through
executive investigation and resort
to the courts, resolved the conflict
which had silenced law and given
trusts existence.
1t has never proposed to advance
American workingmen and Ameri.
can institutions by banishine
American industries and building
up those of other lands, and scorned
to insult labor with an illusory
promise of immunity from law
Yet it passed the pure food law and
the employers liability law secured
equal accommodations on railroads
aided agriculture, created the civil
service, established free rural mail
