Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1884-07-18

Int uuty Oh IIllS government 10 project WIKI equal
fidelity and vigilance the rights Of its citizens
native and naturalized, at home and abroad, and
TO the end that this protection may be assured
United States papers os naturalization issued by
courts of competent jurisdiction must be reached
by the executive and legislative departments OF
our government, and by all foreign powers. 1t is
an imperative duty of this government tG
efficiently protect all the rights OF
persons and property of every American citizen
in foreign lands and to demand and enforce
prompt reparation for invasion thereof. An Amer
lean sItizen is only responsible to his own gov
ernment for any act done in his own country oi
under her flag and can only be tried therefor or
power exists IN this government to expatriate
an American citizess TO be tried in any foreign
land for any such act.
This corntry has had q welldefned and e1ecut
ed foreign policy Under democratic administers
ton the policy has ever been in regard to
foreign natsns so long as they do no act detri
mental to the interest of the country or hurtfu
to our citizens to let them alone. That as the re
suit OF this policy. We recall the aquisiton OF
Louisiana, Florida, California and of the ad
Jacent Mexican territory by purchases alone and
csntrast these grand acquisition of demo cratic
craftsmanship with the purchase OF Alaska, the
sole fruit Of republican administration of nearly
a quarter of a century.
The federal government should care for and i'm
prove the Mississippi river and other great water
ways of the republic so as to secure for the in
terror states easy and cheap transportation TO tide
water.
Under a long period OF democratic rule and
policy, our merchant marine was fast oSertaking
and on the point of outstripping that of Great
Britain. Under twenty years Of republican rule
and policy, our commerce has been left TO British
bottoms, and almost has the American flag beer
swept off the high seas
Instead of the republican party's British policy,
we demand for the people of the United States
an American policy. Uuder democratic rule and
policy merchants and sailors flying the
stars and stripes in every port successfully
searched out market for the varied products OF
American industry. Under a quarter of a century
of republican rule and policy, despite our mani.
fest advantage over all other nations in high paid
labor favorable climate and teeming soils, de-
spite freedom of trade among all states, despite
their population by the foremost races
Of men and the annual immigration
of the young, thrifty and adventurous
Of all nations. despite our freedom
here from the inherited burdens of life and indus
try in the old world monarchies, their costly
navies their vast tax-consuming, non-pro-
duciug standing armies, despite twenty-five years
OF peace, that republican rule and policy have
managed to surrender to Great Britain along with
Our commerce, the control of the markets of the
world Instead Of the republican pBrtY's British
policy demand on behalf of the Amer
lean democracy an American policy Instead
of the republican party IS discredited scheme and
false preteGseS of friendship for American labor
expressed by imposing taxes we demand in be
half of the democracy, freedom for American
labor by reduced taxes to the end that those of
the United States may compete with unhindered
powers for the primacy among nations in all
The arts and fruits of liberty
With profound regret we have been appriSed by
the venerable StateSmaa through whose person
stlnck that blow at the vital principle of re
publics (acquiesence in the will of the MAJORITY
that he cannot permit us again to place in his
Aan'iS the leadership of the democratic hosts for
the reason that the achievement of reform in the
administration ct the federal government IS an
Undertaking too heavy for his age and fail
Ing strength. Rejoicing that his life has been
prolonged until the general Judgment of our fel-
tow countrymen is united in the wish that those
wrongs were righted i'll his person for the dem
ncIacy of the United States offer to him in
his withdrawal from public cares, not only our re
-pectful .ympathy and esteem, but also that best
tonnage OF freemen the pledge of our devotion to
the principles and the cau>e now inScparable in
the history of the republic, from the labors and
the name of Samuel J. Tiiden.
With this statement of the hopes. principles and
purposes of the democratic party the great issue
