l. The Republicans of the Fourth
Confessional District in delegate con-
vention assembled renew our declara-
ton of allegiance to the organized
Republican party and our devotion to
it's principles and policies as enun-
ciated by its National Conventions
and carried into effect by its ad-
ministrations and Congresses.
2. We heartily endorse the wise,
conservative,firm and progressive ad-
ministration of President Taft and
the wholesome, just and useful laws
passed by the Sixty-first Congress.
8. We crdially endorse the able,
energetic and effective work of Sem
ator VIM. o. Bradley. He has ac-
complished in the Sixty-first Congress
more real, substantial good for the
people of Kentucky and the South
than had been done for a generation
before.
4. We earnestlyy endorse the ad-
ministration of Governor Wilson and
those associated with him in admin
istration work.
5. We condemn the Democratic
party in Kentucky for its failure to
pass efficient laws for the control of
corporations and the suppression Of
harmful trusts and for its utter fail
ure to execute with vigor the feeble
laws upon these subjects which 1t
has placed upon the Statutes.
6. We stand by the American doc
trine of Protection by which the
American markets have been preserv-
ed to the American producer and the
goods of foreign countries, made by
under-paid labor, have been forced to
pay for their entrance into compe-
tition which the products Of the Ameri
can workingman. The principles OF
protection and the question OF wages
are inseparably bound together in this
country and are fundamental the ques-
ton of schedules is varying one.
We favor such changes In the indi-
vidual schedules of the present tariff
as may be ascertained to be right by
the scientific investigation to be made
by the Tariff Commission authoriz-
ed by Congress. Such changes to be
made as the facts relating to the va
rious schedules are ascertained, to
the end that tariff may be construc-
ted upon scientific principles founded
upon ascertained facts.
Z. We call the attention of labor
ing men to the fact that since the
resumption of 81 scie payments In 1879
the wages of bricklayers have advance
ed in different sections 100 to $50
per cent; that those of carpenters
have advanced PIP to 23S per cent.
that wages OF painters have advanced
So to 157 percent; that those of
plasterers have advanced 175 to 300
per cent; that wages of ordinary la
borers have advanced s. to 140 per
cent, and other laborers in like pro-
prtion.
8. We call the attention Of labor
ing men and others to the article In
the Courier Journal of August 21st.
1910. showing that farm-hands In
India receive bat three cents day
