lutte right of expatriation and prevent
all discrimination of whatever kind be-
tween American citizens, whether ma
tive born or alien, and regardless of
race, religion or previous political allie
glance. We renew the pledge to OBJ
serve this principle and to maintain the
right of asylum which is neither to be
surrendered nor restricted, and we
unite in the cherished hope that the
war which is now desolating the world
may speedily end, with complete and
lasting restoration of brotherhood
among the nations of the earth and the
assurance of full equal rights, civil and
religious. to all men in every land.
In order to maintain our peace and
make certain the security of our people
within our own borders the country
must have not only adequate but
thorough and complete national defense.
ready for any emergency. We must
haYe sufficient and effective regular
army, and provision for for ample
reserves, already drilled and disciplined
who can be called at once to the colors
when the hour of danger comes.
We must have navy so strong and
SO well proportional and equipped, so
thoroughly ready and prepared, that no
enemy can gain command of the sea
and effect landing in force on either
our western or eastern coast. To Sc
cure these results we must have a CO.
herentGand continuous policy CT national
defense, which even in these perilous
days the Democratic party has utterly
failed to develop, but which we pro-
mise to give to the country.
The Republican party stands now, as
always, in the fullest sense for the
policy Of tariff protection to American
Industries and American labor, and does
not regard an anti dumping provision
as an adequate substitute. Such pro-
lection should be reasonable in amount.
but sufficient to protect adequately
American industry and American labor
and to be so adjusted as to prevent mn
due exactions by monopolies or trusts.
1t should, moreover, give special atten-
ton to securing the industrial indepen-
dence of the United States as in the
case of dye stuffs.
Through wise tariff and industrial
Legislation our Industries can be so or
ganized that tbey.wlll become not only
a commercial bulwark, but a powerful
aid to national defense.
The Underwood tariff act is a com
plete failure IN every respect. Under
its administration imports have enor-
mously increased In spite Of the fact
that the intercourse with foreign coun-
tries has been largely cut off by reason
OF the war, while The revenues of which
we stand in such dire need have been
greatly reduced Under the normal
conditions, which prevailed prior to the
war, 1t was clearly demonstrated that
