Sierra County advocate. [volume] (Kingston, N.M.) 1884-1960, 1888-08-04

the passage by congress of free ship
bill as calculated to work injustice to ls.-
ber by lessening the wages OF those engag-
Cd in preparing materials, as well rs those
directly employed ia our ship yards.
We demand m appropriation for the
early rebuilding Of olr navy, for the con-
struction OF tort fortiiicatisns aad modern
ordnance and other approved modern
means of defense, Tor the pieteetion Of
our defenseless harbors and cities, 80. the
payment OF inst pensions TO our soldiers.
Tor necessary works OF national imppr-
t2nce, an Improvement oil the harhors
and channels OF our internal, coastwisc
and foreign commerce. for the encour-
agement of the shipping interests OF the
Atlantic. Gull and Pacific asntes, as Wei
as for the payment Of maturing public
debts. This policy viii give employment
to our labor activity to our various IN
dustries, increase the security Of our
country, promote tride, open new and
direct markets for our produce and chea-
pen the cost OF transportation. We Rdirm
this to Inc far better for our country than
the democratic policy OF loLning the gov
enment's lponey without interest to
pet banks.
The cnaouet of foreign affairs by the
present administration has been injuring
us by its ineiiiciency and cowardice
Having withdrawn from tue fenatc all
pending treaties effected by a republican
administration for the removal OF foreign
burdens and restrictions upon our com
nlefce, and ior its extension into better
markets, it has neither effected or propo-
sed any other in their stead. Processing
adherence to the Monroe dotrne, It has
seen with idie comRlacenGy The extension
Of foreign influence in Central America
and of foreign trade everywhere among
oar neighbors. 1t mas refused TO charter,
sanction on encourage any American or
.atiization for constructing the Nicara-
guam canal a work OF vital Importance to
the maintenance Of thc Monroe doctrine
and 81 our national influence ia South
America and with the islands, and fur
ther, OF the Pacificsocean.
We arraixn the present democratic
administration fer its weak and unpatri-
otic treatment of the fisheries question,
AMI its pus.lanmous surrender of the
essential privileges to which our fishing
vesael9 are entitled in Cauadian ports
under the treaty OF 1918, the reciprocal
maritime Legislation OF 1859, and the co
NIFTY Of nations, and which Canadien fish.
| ing vessels receive il the ports OF the
| United States. We condemn tine policy
Of the present administration and thg
democratic majority ia congress towards
our fisheries, Is ni.riendly and conspicu
ou.iy unpatrjotic, and as tending to de-
s.roy valuable national industry and
indis,emslpls, resource Of defense against
the lofetgii eheli'f. .,;. In, !.
