President of the United States. In
reference to this subject it says; " At
, time when we are exhorted to follow
the American example and dispense
with foreign affairs the dominant
party in the United States selects as its
candidate for the Presidency the one
Statesman who is pledged up to the
hilt to a forward policy. He may not
have been chosen because of his foreign
policy, yet it is significant that the
great caucus passed a resolution in IA

unplaCe our influence and our trade by
the influence and trade of the United
States, and he will regard it as his
chief object to promote il great Amer-
can ContederaCy under the Tgis of the
Government at Washington, which
would tend to increase the export trade
of the United States
There, we have it all in IA nut she'll fl
this is what is really meant by Mr..
Blalne's aggressive imperialism" it
strikes us very forcibly that this is just
what the American people want, and i'll
Mr.. Blaine intends to act upon that prin-
