ciency. But the existing concentration of vast wealth under a corporate system un- guarded and uncontrolled by the nation has placed in the hands of a few men enormous secret, irresponsible power over the daily life of the citizen-a power insufferable in a free government and certain of abuse
 This power has been abused in monopoly of national resources in stock watering, in unfair competition and unfair privileges and finally in sinister influences on the public agencies of state and nation We do not fear commercial power, but We insist that it shall be exercised openly. under publicity, supervision. and regu- lation of the most efficient sort, which will pre- serve it's good while eradcating and preventing its evils.
 To that end we urge the establishment of a strong federal administrative commission of high standing, which shall maintain permanent active supervision over industrial corporations engaged in interstate commerce, or such of them are of public importance, doing for them what the government now does for the national banks and what is done for the railroads by the interstate commerce commission. Such a commission must enforce the complete publicity of those corporate transactions which are of public interest," must attack unfair competition false capitalization. and special privilege and by continuous trained watchfuness guard and keep open equally to all the highways of Ameri- can commerce.
 Thus the business man will have certain knowledge of the law and will be able to conduct his business easily in conformity herewith. the investor will find security for his capital, divi- dends will be rendered more certain, and the savings of the people will be drawn naturally and safely into the channels of trade.
 Under such a system of constructive regu- lation legitimate business, freed from confusion, uncertainty and fruitless litigation, will develop normally in response to the energy and enter prise of the American business

 TARIFF
 We believe in a protective tariff which shall equaze conditions competition between the United States and foreign countries both and the manufacturer, and which shall maintain for labor adequate standard of living. Primarily the benefit tariff should be disclosed in the envelope of laborer We declare that industry deserves pro- ecton which is unfair to labor which is operating in violation of federal law We believe that the pre- sumption is always in favor of the consuming public We demand tariff revision because the present tariff is unjust the people of the United States Fair dealing toward the people requires an immediate down. ward revision of schedules wherein duties shown be unjust excessive.

CURR ENCY

We believe there exists imperative need for prompt legislation for the improvement of our national currency system. We believe the present method of issuing notes through private agencies is harmful and unscientific. The issue of currency is fundamentally a government function and the system should have basic principles soundness and elasticity. The control should be lodged with the government and should be protected from domination manip ulation by Wall street or any special interests.
 We are opposed to the so-called Adrich currency bill because it's provisions should place our currency and credit system in private banks not subject to effective public control.
 COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT
 The time has come when the federal gov ernnlent should cooperate with manufacturers and producers in extending our foreign com- merce To this end we demand adequate ap- propriation by congress and the appointment of diplomatic and consular officers solely with view to their special fitness and worth and not in consideration of political expediency.
 It is imperative to the welfare of our peo- pIe that we enlarge and extend our foreign commerce. We are emnently fitted to do this because a people we have developed high skill in the art of manufacturing. Our business men are strong executives strong or ganizers In every way possible our federal government should cooperate in this important matter.
 Anyone who has had the opportunity to study and observe first hand Germany's course in this respect must realize that the policy of co-operation between government and business has in a comparatively few years made them the leading competitors for the com- merce of the world.
 It should be remembered that they are doing this on a national scale an6 with large units of business, while the Democrats would have us believe that we

ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE
