Stran 15 - The Republican party stands for agreement among the nations to preserve the peace of the world. We believe that such an international association must be based upon international justice, and must provide methods which shall maintain the rule of public right by the development of law 'and the decision of impartial courts, and which shall secure instant and general international conference whenever...
Stran 227 - Houses that will promote effective competition, protect against monopoly and at the same time produce a fair revenue to support the Government.

After having increased taxation and the cost of living by two billion dollars, under the FordneyMcCumber tariff, all that the Republican Party could suggest in the way of relief was a cut of $300,000,000 in direct taxes; and that was to be given principally...
