The trust-bustwho U always busting the trusts by word, but never by uctioii, would lead the ieople to believe that all the production of the country la under the direction of unlawful combinations. Behold, ' bow a tule shall plain put that down! The statistics carefully and honestly gathered by the government show that coniietitIon is, after all, the great force thut regulates production and the price. If you take all the alleged trust iroierties engaged In the production in the yeHrl900, they produced 14 per cent while the Independent factories produced 86 per cent of the factory product of the country. It is impossible to permanently corner capital, and the muscle and the raw material which nature has produced In such abundance. But why multiply words? The history of the country from 189$ to 1997, for the four yeers under Cleveland and Democracy, as cum pared with what we have today, tells the whole story. That of Cleveland waa marked with dissension and disaster, not only to his party, but to the people, and that of McKinley and Roosevelt with harmony and prosperity unparalleled. The last work of a Republican national convention, held at Philadelphia In the year 1900, was overwhelmingly Indorsed by the American people, and the remarkable successful administration of President McKinley was continued; but In an hour of universal peace, when partisan criticism was stilled by the spread of prosperity, the blight of anarchy, Improted from another shore, struck down our chief magistrate and brought the whole world to hla bier as mourners. Universal sorrow stopped the pulse of Industry, not In fear, but in profound respect tor the memory of the man and the president who died breathing, 'Thy will, not mine, be done;' tor In that hour a vigorous, energetic and enthusiastic young man stood beside that death bed, pledging his life to the W had policies of his predecessor. confidence In that pledge; and nobly has It been kepi. The new president, took up the burdet of office with caution, but without fear, for he had the Republican party behind him, and the success of its policies everywhere In evidence. The last three years of the administration have been marked by the same success as those that preceded, and today, as In Philadelphia four years ago, there is no division in the Republican councils as to the standard bearer of the Republican party. " The of administration Roosevelt has brought to an end the cry of Imperialism, with growing civil government In the Philippines and a free and Independent government In Cuba; the purchase and authorization of the Panama canal, the arbitration of the coal strike, and the decision that trusts are amenable to the authority of the law. These are some of the acts of the Republican party under the administration of President Roosevelt, and there is not a responsible American cltlsen who dares deny thata they have, one and all been for the general good of the whole people, and that they are, one and all. Indorsed by the people. "Let us make our nominations In order and appeal to the people of the country for a renewal of power to the Republican party, standing by our policies, ready to legislate where legislation would be productive of more the economic good than evil from ple er standpoint, but refusing to legislate and lose the substance of success In a vain effort to secure the shadow that abldeth not, and satlfyeth not either (Continued on Page 6.) |
