As to Railroads. The exact text of the ptank of the by Republican platform prepared Wade H. Ellis and approved by President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft relating to railroads Is as follows: We approve the enactment of a railroad rate law and the vigorous enforcement. by the present administration of the statutes against rehatea and discrimination, aa a result of which the advantages formerly possessed hy tbe large shipper over the small shipper has substantially disappeared. In this connection we recommend the appropriation of 1350,000 by the present congress In order to the Interstate commerce commission to thoroughly investigate and give publicity to the account! of en-ah- railroads. We believe, however, that the Interstate commerce law should be further amended so aa to give railroads the right to make and publish traffic agreements subject to the approval of the commission, but maintaining always the principle of competition between naturally competing lines and avoiding. the common control of such lines hy any means whatsoever, and we especially favor the enactment of such legislation as will provide for federal restriction against the over Issue of stocks and bonds by Inter- state carrlera. The Tariff. The Republican party declares unequivocally for a revision of the tar iff by a special session of congress Immediately after the inauguration of the next president, and commends the steps already taken to this end aa to work assigned to the appropriate committees of the two houses which are now Investigating the operation and In all effect of existing schedules. tariff legislation the true principle of protection la best maintained by the Imposition of such duties as will equal the difference between the cost of production at home and abroad, together with a reasonable nroflt to American Industries, and the benefits that follow are beBt secured by the establishment of maximum and minimum rates which shall be applied automatically to the trade of other countries in accordance with their treatThe minimum ment of our trade. should represent the normal measure of protection required for the benefit nf our own Industries. The aim and purpose of the Republican policy Is not only to preserve, without excessive duties, that security against for eign competition to which American manufacturers, farmers and producers are entitled, hut also to maintain the high standard of living of the of this country, who are the most direct beneficiaries of the protective system.
