movement calls attention to theTS
capacity of the Democratic party for
administration of government
Following are the principal planks
Once more the Republican party Jn
national convention assembled sub
mits Its cause to the people This
great historic organization that de
stroyed slavery preserved the union
restored credit expanded the national
domain established a sound financial
system developed the industries and
resources of the country and gave to
the nation its post of honor In the
councils of the world now meets the
new problems of government with the
same courage and capacity with which
It solved the old
The great accomplishments or
President Roosevelt have been first
and foremost a brave and impartial
enforcement of the law the prosecu
tion of illegal trusts and monopolies
the exposure and punishment of evil
doers in the public service the more I
errecuve regulation or the rates and
service of the great transportation
lines the complete overthrow of pref
erence rebates and discriminations
the arbitration of labor disputes the
amelioration of the condition of wage
workers everywhere the conservation
of the natural resources of the coun
try the forward step in the improve
ment of the inland waterways and
always the earnest support and de
fense of every wholesome safeguard
which has made more secure the guar
antees of life liberty and prosperity
These are the achievements that
will make for Theodore Roosevelt his
place in history
But more than all else the great
things he has done will be an inspira
tion to those who have yet greater
things to do We declare our unfalter
ing adherence to the policies thus in
augurated and pledge their continu
ance under a Republican administra
tion of the government
Party Makes Most of Resources
The United States now owns one
fourth of the worlds wealth and
makes one third of all manufactured
products In the great necessities of
civilization such as coal the motive
power of all activity iron the chief
basis of all industries cotton the sta
ple foundation of all fabrics wheat
corn and all the agricultural products
that feed mankind American suprem
acy is undisputed and yet her great
natural wealth has been scarcely
touched we have vast domains of 30
000000 square miles literally burst
ing with latent treasure still Availing
the magic of capital and industry to
be converted into the practical uses of
mankind a country rich in soil and
climate in the unharnessed energy of
its rivers and in all the varied prod-
nets
With gratitude for all Gods bounty
with pride in the splendid productive
ness of the past and with confidence
in the prosperity of the future the Re
publican party declares for the prin
ciple that in the development and en
joyment of wealth so great and bless
ings so benign there shall be equal
opportunity for all Nothing so clear
ly demonstrates the sound basis upon
which our commercial industrial and
agricultural interests are founded and
the necessity of promoting their con
tinued welfare through the operation
of Republican policies as the recent
safe passage of the American people
through a financial disturbance which
if appearing in the midst of Demo
cratic rule or the menace of it might
have equalled tbe familiar Democratic
panics of the past
We congratulate the people upon
this evidence of American supremacy
and hail with confidence the signs now
manifest of a complete restoration of
business prosperity in all lines of
trade commerce and manufacturing
Since the election of William Mc
Kinley in 189 6 the people of this
country have felt anew the wisdom
of trusting to the Republican party the
control and direction of national legis
lation The many wise and progres
sive measures adopted by recent ses
sions of congress have demonstrated
the patriotic resolve of Republican
leadership in the legislative depart
ment to keep step in the forward
march toward better government
Only the obstruction and-filibustering
of a Democratic minority in the
last house of congress prevented the
enactment of a number of measures of
great public benefit the consideration
of which can only be intrusted to an
other Republican majority But many
wholesome and progressive laws were
enacted and we especially commend
the passage of the emergency curren
cy bill the appointment of the nation
al monetary commission the employ
ers and government liability laws the
measures for the greater efficiency of
the army and navy the widows pen
sion billvthe model child labor law for
the District of Columbia designed for
emulation by the states the new stat
utes for the safety of railroad engi
neers and firemen and many acts con
serving the public welfare
For Tariff Revision
The Republican party declares un
equivocally for a revision of the tariff
by a special session of congress im
mediately following the inauguration
of -the next president and commends
the steps already taken to this end in
the work assigned to the appropriate
committees of the congress which
are now investigating the operation
and effect of existing schedules In
all tariff legislation the true princi
ple of protection is best maintained
by the imposition of sucb duties as
will equal the difference between the
ican industries and the benefits that
cost of production at home and
abroad together with a reasonable
profit to American industries
We favor the establishment of
maximum and minimum rates to
be administered by the president -under
limitations fixed under the law
the maximum to be available to met
rj3g
titled but also to maintain the high
standard of living of the wage earners
of this country who are the most di
rect beneficiaries of the protective
system Between the United States
and the Philippines we believe in a
free interchange of products with
such limitations as to sugar and to
bacco as will accord adequate protec
tion to domestic interests
Financial Policy Approved
We approve the emergency meas
ures adopted by the government dur
ing the recent financial disturbances
and especially commend the passage
by congress at the last session of the
law designed to protect the country
from a repetition of such stringency
The Republican party is committed to
the development of a permanent cur
rency system responding to our great
er needs and the appointment of the
national monetary commission by
the present congress which will im
partially investigate all proposed meth
ods insures the early realization of
this purpose
The present currency laws have
fully justified their adoption but an
expanding commerce a marvelous
growth in wealth and population multi
plying the centers of distribution in
creasing the demand for the move
ment of crops in the west and south
and entailing periodic changes in
monetary conditions disclose the need
of a more elastic and adaptable sys
tem Such a system must meet the
requirements of agriculturists manu
facturers merchants and business men
generally automatic in operation
minimizing the fluctuations in inter
est rates and above all it must be
in harmony with the Republican doc
trine which insists that every dollar
shall be based upon redeemable 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 fa
vor the establishment of postal sav
ings banks on principles embodied in
the measure now pending in congress
and set for vote on Dec 14 next
Anti Trust Plank
The Republican party passed the
Sherman anti trust law over Demo
cratic opposition and enforced it over
Democratic dereliction It has been a
wholesome instrument for good in the
hands of a wise and fearless adminis
tration But experience has shown
that its effectiveness can be strength
ened and its real objects better at
tained by such amendments as will
give to the federal government great
er supervision over and secure pub
licity in the management of that class
of corporations engaged in interstate
commerce having power and oppor
tunity to effect monopolies
We approve the enactment of the
railroad rate law and a vigorous en
forcement by the present administra
tion of the statutes against rebates
and discrimination as a result of
which the advantages formerly pos
sessed by the large shipper over the
small shipper have substantially disap
peared and in this connection we
commend the appropriation made
by the present congress to ena
ble the interstate commerce
r
JAMES S SHERMAN OF NEW YORK

Pblicity to the accounts of interstate
against American goods entering their
markets and the minimum to repre
sent the normal measure of protection
at home the aim and pur
pose of the policy of the Re
publican party being not only
to preserve without excessive duties
that security against foreign compe
tition to which American manufact
urers farmers and producers are en
ruaus we ueueve nuwevei luul iuu
interstate commerce law should be
further amended so as to give rail
roaas the right to make and publish
traffic agreements subject to the ap
proval of the commission but main
taining always the principle of com
petition between naturally competing
lines and avoiding the common control
of such lines by any means whatso
ever We favor such national
legislation and supervision as will pre
vent the future overissue of stocks
and bonds by interstate carriers
Anti Injunction Plank
The Republican party will uphold
at all times the authority and integ
rity of the courts state and federal
and will ever insist that their powers
to enforce their process and to protect
life liberty and property shall be pre
served inviolate We believe however
that the rule of procedure in the fed
eral courts with respect to the issu
ance of the writ of injunction should
be more accurately defined by statute
and that no injunction or temporary
restraining order should be issued
without notice except when irrepara
ble injury would result from delay in
which case a speedy hearing there
after should be granted
