THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The Republican platform does not
give on ray Of hope or promise. It
gives nothing to the people and every
thing to the interests. The great
problems Of government are smothered
beneath a jugglery Of involved plati-
tudes, Of the alleged beneficent acts o;
the Republican party.
We are boastfully told that when
the Republican party was born tins
wealth of the nation was sixteen bill
lions of dollars; now it is one hun
dred and ten billions. Just coinci-
dence that Hindoo or Hottentot
could use with the same propriety.
The platform studiously refrains
from telling US that when the party
was born the sixteen billions. was
evenly distributed among the people.
but that under Republican misman
agement the one hundred and ten
billions Is now concentrated in the
hands Of less than two per cent Of
the people.
The policies and achievements Of
President Roosevelt are referred to in
most flattering terms; but not word
is said about the refusal of do
nothing" Republican congress to en-
act the laws Roosevelt recommended
and the condition of the country de-
manded.
The tariff extortion is referred to
in language designed to captivate the
unwafy and not give offense to the
interests and beneficiaries Of the tariff
graft. Why declare for revision on
the eve of a presidential campaign.
when the tariff Is in no more need
OF revision now than it was two years
ago? Yet not a move was made by
the Republicans to revise it, Not only
that, but they opposed every effor:
towards revision made by the minor
ity in congress. But, every one knowA
that protection is a fraud and must
be maintained by false pretenses ii
maintained at all. Upon that theory
the tariff plank justifies itself.
For the past two years, attention
has again and again been called to
needed amendments to the Interstate
commerce law, but Republican
congress persistently refused to make
them. Now on the eve Of a campaign
the people are assured by the plat,
form, that the law should be amended
and the party asks for an opportunity
to do what it had before not only neg
lected but refused to do. It remains
to be seen whether the voters will
continue to confide in a party OF
Hypocrisy, plutocracy and specia
privileges.
How can we believe the promises Of
a party as to what it shall do in thu
future when it prevaricates in re.
gard to what it has done in the past
For instance; the platform says, tn,
Republican party has enforced tn,
laws against trusts. We all know
that there is not a case In which tn,
people have been relieved Of even on,

any alienation of the industria
