WELL DEFINED Policy This cOun-
try has never had a well defined ana eX-
ccuted foreign policy save under Demo
cratic administration. That policy has
ever been in regard 10 foreign nations, so
long rs they do not act detrimental to the
interests of the country or hurtful 10 our
citizens, TO let them alone that as re-
suit of this policy we recall the acquisi-
ton Of Louisiana, Florida, California
and of the adjacent Mexican territory by
purchase alone, and contrast these grand
acquisitions of Democratic statesman

Clay was The chief advocate, and in great
part the originator. 1t had for its espec-

imports averaging not over 30 per cent.
The present tariff rates average ~ per

Henry Clay, were he living and adhered
to his American system" would regard
with horror the present tariff, and with
