 The Republican parry faY9fs ths enactment Of legislation sapp.easshlt ary 10 the existing autitrHsT act which vill define as crimlnai offenses those specific acts that uniformly mark attempts 10 Tsstrain and to monopoIize trade. to the end that those who honestly intend 10 obey the law may have A guide for their ac- ton and that those who aim to yio late the law may the more surely be punts1@d
 Tn the enforcement and adminis traitor Of federal laws governing in. terstate commerce. and enterprises impressed with public use engaged therein. there is much that may be committed te & federal trade commis. sion. thus placing in the hands Of an administrative board many Of the functions now necessarily exercised by the courts
 We reafirm our belief in protec. five tarin The protective tariff is SO woven into the fabric Of our industrial and agricultural life that to substitute for it a tarin for revenue onlg would destroy many industries and throw millions Of our people out of employ meut The products Of the farms and Of the mine should receive tf 6 same measure of protection as other prod ucts Of American labor.
 We hold that the import duties should be high enough while yielding sufficient revenue 10 protect ade- auately American industries and { wages Some of the existing Import dutles are teo high and should be re- huced Readjus,ment should be made rom time 10 time 10 conform to chang ing conditions and to reduce excessive rates. but without injury to any Amer lean industry To accomplish this cor rect information Is indispensable This information can best be obtained by an expert commission. as the large volume of useful facts contained in he recent reports Of the tarir board aas demonstrated
 The pronounced feature of modern industrial life is It's enough diyersiti. cation To apply tarir rates justly to lhese changing conditions requires closer study and more scientific meth cds than ever before. The Republican party has shown by its creation Of a .arir board, it's recognition of this sit nation, and it's determination to be equal 10 it We condemn the Demo cratic party for it's failure either to provide funds for the continuance ot this board or 10 make some other pro vision for securing the information requisite for intelligent tariff legisls- tion We protest against the Demo cratic method Of legislating on these vitally important subjects without careful investigation
 We condemn the Democratic tarin bills passed by the house Of repre- seutatlyes of the siXty-gecond congress as sectional. as injurious to the public credit and as destructive Of business enterprise
 '"The Republican party will support s prompt scientific inquiry into .he causes which are operative both in the United States and elsewhere, 10 in crease the cost of living. When the exact facts are known. it will take the necessary steps to remove any
