The Foreign Policy.
The conduct og foreign snairs by the present
admiaisIr alton has been distinguished by ia in
efficiency aud It's cowardice. having Withdrawn
from the Senate all pending treaties effected by
Republican administration Tor the removal OF
foreign burdens aud restrictions upon cur com
lnerce ana for It's extension into better markets,
IL has neither Effected nor proposed any Others in
their stead. Protesting adherence 10 the Monroe
doctrine, IL has seen with idle complasency the
extension Of foreign influence IN Central America
and of foreign trade everywhere among our
neig ghbors IL has refused 70 charter sanction. or
encourage any American organization for con-
structing the Nicaragua canal, work Of vital
i'm mportance To the maintenance Of the Monroe
doctrine and OF our national inhuence in Central
and South America, and necessary for the de-
yelopment OF trade With oar Pacific territory,
with south America, and with the Islands ana
farther coasts Of tne Pacific ocean.
ON the Fisheries Question.
We arraign the present Democratic admins
tration for It's weak aud unpatriotic treatment OF
the fisheries question snd lis pusilianunous sur
render OF The essential privileges 10 which our
fishing vessels are entitled Ia Canadian ports
under the treaty oflSis, the reciprocal maritime
legislation of 1880, and the comfy ofnations and
which Canadian fshlng vessels receive IN the
ports of the United states. We condemn the
policy OF the present administration and the
Democratic majority IL Congress toward our
hsheries as unfliendiy and conspicuously un-
patriotic and as tending 10 destroy a valuable
national industry and an Indispensable resource
of defense against foreign enemy.
The name tof American applies alike - all
citizens OF the Republic and imposes upon all
alike the same obligation OF obedience 10 the
| laws At the same time that citizenship is and
must be the panopy and safeguard OF him who
wears il aud project him whether high or low,
rich or poor In ell his civil rights. IL should and
must afford him protection al home and follow
| and protect him abroad ia whatever land nc may
| be on lawful errand.
The men who abandoned the Republican part y
in 1854 and continued to adhere 70 the Democratic
plrty have deserted not only the cause OF honest
Government, of sound finance, of freedom and
purity of the ballot but especially have deserted
the cause of reform IN the civil service. We will
not fail 10 keep o1r pledges because they have
/ broken theirs NJ because their candidate has
| broken his We therefore repeat our declaration
of 1884 10 wit: '1ke reforf1 OF the civil service
| auspiciously begun under the Republican admlA-
istratiOn, should be completed by the further ex
BY law to all the grades OF the service 10 which
| is applicable. The spirit and purpose OF the re
| form should be obseFyedin all executive appoint
ments and all laws at varisnce with the object oi
/ existing reform legislation shoald be repealed,
| 10 the end that the danger of tree institutions
4 which lurk In the power OF of1clal patronage
| may be wisely aud effectively avoided"
The gratitude OF the nation to the defenders oi
the Union cannot be measured by laws The
