OUR MONETARY system.
The Republican party Is the indisput.

system which /! is safs to say has never
been equsled by tina! OF any other nation.
Under the operation OF eur system oil

through an extended and expensive wRr,
with a national credit which has risen
higher and higher with each succeeding

States Is surpassed by that Of no other

Of cur interstate and foreign commerce
and 10 the matter OF ou, foreign relations
are fraus ht with the greates: importance to
our people.
In respect to inter state commerce, there
is much to bs desired in the way OF equi,a.
ble rates and facilities OF transportation,
that commerce may a,w freely between the
States Themselves, diversity OF industries
and employments be promoted in all sec.
tons OF our country, and that the great
gransries and manufacturing establish.

in matters in which it may emphstically be
said, time is money" aud also OF unjust
charges nponsarticlesd destined to meet close
competition from the products Of other
parts Of the world.

surprising production OF cereals and other
necessities OF life, impera,ively require
that immediate and effective means be
