FOR TARIFF REVISION.
The Republican party declares un-
eauivocally for a revision OF the tarin
by a special session of congress i'm
mediately following the inauguration
of the next president. and commends
The steps already taken to this end
in the work assigned TO the appropri-
ate committees of the two houses
which are now investigating the OPP
Grafton and effect OF existing sched-
sles
In all tariff legislation the true
principles of protection is best MAIN
tanned BY the imposition of such du-
ties as will equal the difference be-
tween the cost OF production at home
and abroad. together with reasona-

aim and purpose of the Republican
policy being not only 10 preserve
without excessive duties that secur-
ity against competition 10 which
American manufacturers, farmers

RELATIONS WITH PHILIPPINESl
Between the United States and the
Philippines We believe in a free inter-
change of products with such limita-
tions as 10 sugar and tobacco as will |
avoid injury to domestic interests
We approve the emergency meas |
ures adopted by the government and |
especially commend the passage at
the last session of congress OF the |
Temporary enactment designed 10 /
protect the country from repetition
of such stringency only until there |
can be established a permanent cur
rency system that will avoid all
emergencies.
The Republican party is committed |
TO the development of such perma-
nent system responding to our great
er needs. and is in line in all respects
with the most progressive nations of
the world in the appointment of
monetary commission by the present
congress which will impartially in
vestigate all proposed methods and
insure the early realization of this
purpose.
NEW CURRENCY LAWS.
The present currency laws have
fully justified their adoption by an
expanding commerce. marvellous |
growth in wealth and population, |
multiplying the centers of distribu-
ton, increasing the demand for the |
movement of crops in the west and |
south and entailing periodic changes
in monetary conditions. disclose the |
need of more elastic and adaptable |
system Such a system must meet |
the requirements of agriculturists, |
manufacturers, merchants and busi- |
ness men generally. automatic in OPP |
Grafton, minimizing the fluctuations |
in interest rates, and. aDove all, II |
must be in harmony with the Repub- |
lican doctrine which insists that ev-
cry dollar shall be based upon, re- |
deemable in, and as good as gold.
In line with the purpose here de- !
clared TO secure by every wise means !
greater safety and stability in the |
banking and currency system. we ia
vor the establishment of postal saw
ings banks for the purpose. upon |
principles embodied In the measure |
now pending in congress and set for |
vote on December II next.
CREDIT FOR ANTITRUST LAW.
The Republican party passed the |
Sherman antitrust law over Demo- |
cratic ejection. 1t has been whole !
some instrument for good in the |
hands of a wise and fearless admin |
istration. But experience has shown |
that its effectiveness can be strength |
ened and its real object better OBJ |
tanned by such amendments as will
give to the federal government
greater supervision and control over
and secure the publicity in the man
agement of. that class of interstate
corporations having power and OPP
portunity TO effect monopolies and
at the same time will not interfere
with the operation of such associa
tions among business men, farmers
and wage earners as result in posi-
tive benefit to the public.
We approve the enactment of the
railroad rate law and of the vigorous
enforcement by the present admins
tration of the statutes against rebates
and determinations as the result of
which the advantages formerly pos
sessed by the large shippers over the
small shippers have substantially dis
appeared In this connection we
commend the appropriation of $3.50
600 by the present congress IN order
10 enable the interstate commerce
commission thoroughly to investigate
and to give publicity to the accounts
of interstate commerce. The law
should be further amended so as TO
give railroads the right to make and
publish traffic agreements subject to
the approval of the commission but
maintaining always the principle OF
competition between naturally COM
peting lines and avoiding the COM
mon control of such lines by any
