Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1884-08-30

The Democratic organs, in their dire
extremity, are flooding the country
with campaign lies setting forth that
the business men Of the United States,
il their fear Of possible war should
Blaine be elected. are foEsaking the
Republican party and flocking to the
Democratic standard. A brief glance
1t the facts will expose the utter-incon'
sistency of such an argument. Mr..
Blaine, in his letter of acceptance, says:
We are at peace with the world, At
peace upon sound basis, with no
unsettled questions of sufficient mag
uitudc TO embarrass or distract us, hap.
PLY removed by our geographical
position from participation in those
questions -4of dynasty or boundary
which so frequently disturb the peace
Of Europe. We are left to cultivate
friendly relations with all. Free from
possible ENHANCEMENT, the United
Bates has no desire to get into quarrels;
no cause and no desire to engage in
conflict with any power on earth, and
We may rest in confidence that no
power desires to attack the United
State. With the nations of the West
srn Hemisphere we should cultivate
closer relations, and for our common
prosperity and advancement we should
induce them all to join with us in an
agreement Tint in the future all inter.
national troubles in North or South
America should I've adjusted by impair.
tial Arbitration and not by arms.
The person who can see in the above
the smallest ground for basing belief
In the probability of war with any
foreign power must be possessed of
remarkably penetrating and partisan
vision. Every sentence of it breathes
peace, and the last one proposes an
alliance with our neighbors with the
avowrd object of maintaining peace.
The only portion Of the lette, OF
acceptancs that the most prejudiced
opponent Of Blaine can construe into
the. semblsnce Of menace is the.
following:
Our foreign policy should he an
American policy in the broadest sense,
snd in the most Comprehensive sense
. policy OF peace and friendship and
Of commercial enlargement. The
name of American, which belongs to

should never accept a lesser duty, it
can never assume u nobler one, than
