the levy lev levand 4 r and collection of ot import duties dutes And In this connection we heartily hearly 4 Invite the attention of the people of ot Utah Uth of ot all al parties partes to the fact tc 4 that In all al the history of or our republic no other policy has ever eer been tried tied 4 w that did not close dose our our mines and mills create Idleness and distress blight 4 private and public credit credi and ad destroy destro that confidence which is the basis bais baisor 4 of or all aU enterprise and thrift Under the present tariff laws recommended 4 by President William WIlam McKinley enacted by a Republican congress 4 K against the bitter biter opposition of all aU the Democratic leaders and 4 by a Republican administration we were able to reduce the late 4 Spanish war taxes t es by the magnificent sum of or while amply 4 maintaining a reserve in the treasury and providing abundant means for 4 meeting all nI the enormous manifold expenses expense of the government and to t 4 such sueh an extent has the DIngley tariff trl enabled our mechanics to extend 4 y their markets market to other lands that In the year ea 1901 the balance blance of at trade 4 in our favor amounted to the grand total of ot At home there 4 is no smokeless chimney for tor want of ot a market no Idle laborer for lack 4 of ot a demand for his services and no longer an imperative demand for 4 foreign capital with wih which to operate our American industries 4 i 3 We Ve recognize this as an age of concentration and the tendency 4 toward a union of ot effort efort union of capital union of or Interests is not con confined 4 fined to any anyone one country but is found in all al It I exists eist In the free trade 4 countries of or Europe as well wel as a In protective America And In this concentration con 4 of at forces of ot civilization we recognize the right and duty of or 4 labor to organize itself for the promotion of or its Is it own On highest and best 4 interests Interest as a defense against the encroachments encroachment of greed gred and indifference 4 such of government will bring 4 ence enee and we are In favor of provisions as wi all aU differences which labor and capital cannot cannot adjust arjust between themselves 4 before an impartial board or court of arbitration for tor a fair and equitable 4 settlement to the end that strikes which wh h always ys bring misery miser whether 4 successful or otherwise In their results reBul may be b avoided and rendered 4 unnecessary and that those whose skill ski and toil ton produce the wealth of or orf 4 f the country countr may have adequate and equable compensation for tor their ser services 4 ices and for Cor the risks and responsibilities of ot their vocations 4 i 4 The Republicans of Utah Uth are conservative We recognize that 4 the twentieth century organizations organisations of commerce and industry are a at 4 t natural development of ot our progressive social Rocla and commercial conditions condi condl 4 They nave have been a powerful factor In the universal employment of ot 4 labor during the last five years and they have hae been one of or the chief 4 agents by which the United States has been able In that time to capture 4 foreign markets market The Th Republicans of Utah therefore set fet their faces 4 t steadfastly against the demagogic demands of or the Democratic party part to 4 annihilate organization of oC labor and capital and we demand Instead of or orthe 4 the Democratic policy of or destruction that the evils els of ot trusts shall 4 be remedied We Ve are opposed to all aU aggregations or combinations of oC 4 capital having for tor their object the arbitrary and unjust control of ot prices rices 4 or the oppression of labor We therefore declare for legislation which 4 shall give the national government authority over the modern organizations 4 of commerce which do business throughout the whole union a we wet 4 t favor such wise and conservative laws as will wi prevent the unjust raising rising 4 of ot prices and lowering of wages We applaud the stern enforcement 4 by President Roosevelt of ot all al existing laws which seek to regulate trusts 4 and we call cal the attention of or the people to the fact that that every ever such 4 t statute is a Republican act Should an amendment to the te constitution 4 be found necessary to give
