The genera. character of The GAZETTE is eS-
tabIished by AZ life, and, therefore, needs DO
promises for she lature. II maintains Repuo-
Iicau principles such it believes best for the
general welfare. and 1t holds party orsaniza-

effect in the administrators OF government.
The GAZETTE asks no fayoSs from those IN

takes ard is as free to condemn sSakes INSIDE

This fearless course has earned for it the feoS-
ni.ed position OF the leading Republican 9osr-!
mai OF the central part OF the nation.
On the question of currency, the GAZETTE
maintains the line of policy set forth in ITS
annual circulars. While IL holds that the
even;pa. divorce ofthe government from the
banking business, ,,and the restoration OF 'he
currency TO convert biIity with coin. are TO b"
kept steadily in view, 1t also holds u,at the
situation growing out OF The proStration ei the
