tbrbanc which. If It nad appeared In
tliv midst of democratic: rule, might

Willie In thf put. ,We congratulate
' Oi people upon the renowned evidence-
ot American supremacy, and
V1 tllk confident the manifest
gig of complete reitoratlon of
pualnfl prosperity In all lines of
trad,, fommerc and manufacturing.
WotaiiijAstandlng the Indefenelve
fpamsisrlnu: at the democratic minor
try lb rn house ef representative dur
ing the last aeaaloa of congress, many
-wholesome and progresslv law were
enacted. We especially commend the
, passage of the emergency currency
U1; the appointment of a national
monetary commission; the employers'
government liability lawk; the mens
wj tonkin, to greater efficiency of
American 4rmy and navy: widows'
pension bill; the child labor law for
the District of Columbia; the new
axtttatea providing for the safety of
railroad engineers and firemen, and
Wis many other acta conserving the
public welfare.
To Revise Tariff.
"The republican party drlarcs(
vnequlvocally for a revision of the
tariff by a special session of congress
IRratrtlately following the lnaugura-
tt&n at the next president and com
mends the step already taken to this
ad.
Protective 11 uw Only.
"W favor the establishment of
amxlmum and minimum rate to be
administered by the president under
imitation of a fixed law; the maxl
atom rates to be available to meet
wftjorlmtnatlon by foreign countries
gataat. American good entering their
aiarketa, and the minimum rate to
represent tha normal measure ot pro
action for home Industrie. The aim
and purpose ot the republican party
h to be not only to preserve without
amaatv duties that security against
furtgn competition to which Ameri
can manufacturers, farmers snd pro.
teem are entitled, but also to main
tain klgh standard of living for the
wage-earner hero end In the Philip
pkaea; to that end w believe In free
titerchanga of products with such
yjoattaUona as to sugar and tobacco,
a will afford adequate protection to
4omll Interests. Wt approve ot
' ' ' t
the emergency measures adopted by
congress during the recent financial
disturbance, and especially commend (
the passage of the law designed to
protect the country from a repetition
of a money stringency.
On Monetary Questions.
The republican party la committed
to the development of a permanent
currency system, responding to our
greater needs; tha appointment of a
national monetary commission by the
present congress after impartially In
vestigating all proposed method thst
will insure early realization of this
purpose. The present currency laws
fully justified their adoption, but the
expanding of commerce, the marvel
out growth in wealth, and in popula
tion, the multiplication of center of
distribution, the Increasing demand
for movement of crops In the west and
south, entailing periodical change In
monetary conditions, discloses a need
for a more elastic and adaptable sys
tem ot currency.
An Automatic? System.
"Such a system must be automatic
In Its operation, minimising the fluc
tuations In Interest and rates, and
above all, It must be In harmony with
republican doctrine, which Insists that
every dollar be bssed upon a value as
good as gold. We favor the establish
ment of postal savings banks and a
system for the convenience of people
and encouragement ot thrift. The
republican party passed the Sherman
anti-trust law over the democratic op
position, and enforced It after demo
cratic dereliction. It haa been a
wholesome Instrument for good In
the hands of a wise and fearless ad
ministration, but experience has
shown Its effectlvenesa can be strong
thened. It real objects better attained
by such amendmenta as will give the
federal government greater supervbv
Ion and control over, and aecure
greater publicity In the management
of that class of corporations engaged
In Interstate commerce, having power
and opportunity to effect monopolies.
We approve of tha enactment of a
railroad rate law and the vigorous en
forcemeat by the present admlnlstra
tlon of atatutes agilnst rebates and
discriminations. We believe thst' the
Interstate commerce law should be
further amended to give the railroads
the right to make and publish tariff
agreements, subject to the approval
of the Interstate commission, but to
maintain always a nature of com pet I
tlon between the naturally competing
lines, avoiding common control of
such line by any mean whatsoever
The Stand on Labor Question.
The republican party pledgee Itself
to continued devotion to every caus
that makes for the safety and better
ment of condition among those whosi
labor contribute much to the prog
res and welfare ot our country; ti
the tame wise policy which Induced
the party to maintain protection pf
American labor; to adopt and to ee
tablish an eight-hour day In the con
struction of public work; to adop'
the child labor atatute In the Dlitrlc
of Columbia; to direct Investlgatlor
Into th condition of working men
women and children, theee lajter be
tng -nmployea of telephone and tele
graphs companies engaged In Inter j
state buslne, and amend and streng
then law prohibiting th Importation
of contract labor, and to declare that
these policies be pursued In every le
gitimate direction within federal au
thority, to lighten th harden and
Increase the opportunity for hsppt
nesa and th advancement of the toll
er of the nation. The republlcar
party will uphold at all times the au
thority and Integrity of the courts
state and federal, and will ever Inslsi
on their power to. enforce their pro
cesses to protect life and liberty, ant
thst property shall be Inviolate.
The Injunction Plank.
"We believe, however, that rules ot
procedure In federal courts, with re
spect to the Issuance ot writs of In
junction, be more accurately defined
by statute In order that no Injunc
tion, or temporary restraining order
be Issued without notice, unices Irre
parable Injury result from delay. Ir
which case speedy heertng.-thereaflei
granted.
Sovereignty for Cnbn.
"Hop Is expressed that th Cuban
people will soon be ready to assumt
sovereignty over their own land; tha'
the Insurrection In the Philippine
will be suppr I. W favor the Im
mediate admission of New Mexico am'
Arlxona, as separate atate. W rc
ommend a centennial celebration
throughout th nation on . February
It, 1101, tha hundredth annlversarj
of the birth of Abraham Lincoln.
Equality for Negro,
Th fro rural mall delivery r.a
now reached million of cltlsens; w
favor Its extension until every com
munlty Is benefitted; we recognise thi
social and economic advantage n
good country roads. . Th party h'
been tor 10 year a consistent frleni
ot the American negroes, and w de
mand equal Justlc to all men wltt
out regard to their race or color. We
declare for the enforcement in letter
and spirit, of the 13th, 14th and lBth
amendments to the constitution of the
United States, designed for tho pro
jection and advancement of the ne
gro.- We condemn the devices aiming
at i his , disfranchisement for color
alone. We endorse the movement for
a conservation : of natural resources
and approve the measures preventing
a waste of water; we commend, the
work done for the reclamation of arid
lands and reaffirm the policy for dis
tribution of available areas ot the
public domain to landless settlers. It
Is our further duty to enter upon a
systematic Improvement upon a large
plan, of the waterways, harbors and
lakes. Under the party's- admlnlstra
tlon . the foreign commerce with' 'the
United States' has experienced remark
able growth. - ''.- '
WlctconMln'sV Demands Defeated.
Forced by the Wisconsin delega
tion demanding a more radical 'ac
tion, tha minority report embodying
the Wisconsin demand was made by
the., resolution ' committee.' The
plank refer to the election of United
State senators by direct tot ot the
people; ascertainment of a physical
raluatlon of railroads and th publl
z n9 vNtre all
taker! out for separata action. The
remainder of the minority platform
was put to a vote and lost by a vote
of 953 to 1. ' Then the plank for the
publication of campaign expanses was
defeated, 889 to Election regard
ing senators was defeated by a vote of
888 to .lit. Tha provision of physl
cal valuation of railroads was defeat
ed U7to S. f; .
i Labor Lenders Disappointed.
Labor leader are apparently dlsap
pointed with the antVlnjunctlon plank
as , adopted, and when asked for a
statement, President Gompers aald;
"1 'have nothing to say, and I don't
know that I will ever have anything
to say about It." . .
John Mitchell said: "I regard the
plank aa being equivalent to no anti-
Injunction plank. . It sounds aa though
'.t promised something later on, but
In It present shape It has no value."

Themselves.
. Messrs. Sampson and Weber, the
Grants Pass cannery men who have'
leclared their willingness to establish
i cannery here, will return to La
Grande a soon at they shall have had
vord from th Commercial club. The
'dub ha not yet acted officially upon
the proposition, but as Individuals, the
board ot manager have given very
lavorable opinion In regard to the
enterprise, and so far aa can be de
termined at th present time, or In
fact at any time up to th actual mo
neht of Incorporation of th com
pany, La Grand will have a cannery,
modern and up-to-date In all respects,
ind with a fully paid-up capital of
if leas $80,000. Th Grants Pas
men have (10,000 cash to put Into the
proposition. Ray W. Logan haa of-j
rerea tne Hall-Damon warehouse for
Ilk amount In stock, and It la de
sired, to have an additional stock sub
scription of 110,000, which would
hardly pay for th fruit that goes to
wast In the valley every year. From
the above fact It would seem practi
cally certain that adverse action of the
club director Is th only event that
will present thi new and much
needed Industry from being establish
ed during the year.
: The amount of subscriptions asked
in addition to the 820.000 already of
fered should not prove difficult, to ob
tain, for fruitgrowers would undoubt
edly be glad to pay at least a part of
'.heir subscription in the product ot
"heir orchards; aa arrangement, w
understand, that Is entirely satisfac
tory to the promoters.
