Inc mlSinformatlon as to the terms Of
the act which has been so widely dessem-
mated at home and abroad will be cor
rected by experience, and the evil au-
guries as to the result confounded by the
market reports, the saving bank inter-
national trade balances and the general
prosperity of our people.
There is no disposition among any
of our people to promote pro-
hibitory or retaliatory legislation.
Our policy is adapted not to the
hurt Of others, but to secure for our
selves those advantages that fairly grow
out Of our favored position as nation.
Our form Of government with its Incl
dent Of universal suffrage makes it I'M
perative that We shall save our woi king
people from the agitatlons aud GistreSSes
which scant work and wages that have
no margin for comfort always beget, but
after all this is done, it will be found
tnat our markets are open to friendly
commercial exchanges OF enormous value
to the other great powers.
The Love of the Republican Party for
the Farmer.
From the time of our Induction into
| office the duty of using every power and
influence given by law to the Executive
Department for the development of
larger markets for our products, espec-
tally our farm products, has been kept
constantly in mind, and no effort has
been or will be spared to promote that
end. We are under no disadvantage in
any foreign market except that we pay
our workmen and workWomen better
wages than are paid elsewhere-b
abstractly, better relatively to the cost of
the necessaries of life. [ do not doubt
that very largely increased foreign
trade is accessible to rs without barter
ing for it either our home market for
such products of the farm and shop as
our own people can supply, or the wages
OF our working people
The Good OF Reciprocity.
In many Of the products Of wool and
g iron and ia meats and bread stuffs, we
nave advantages that only need better
facilities Of intercourse and transporta-
9 tion to secure for them large foreign
: markets. The reciprocity clause Of the
y tariff act wisely and effectively opens the
z way to secure a large reciprocal trade il
Il exchange for the free admission to ou1
u ports Of certain products. The state O

IS was SO obvious that to have gratituiosl,
er abandoned this opportunity to enlarge

ef able error.
W There were but two methods of main
Sc tanning control Of this question open t
ne Congress. To place all of these article
ut upon the dutiable lists, subject to sue
SIS treaty agreements as could be secured
ID or to place them all presently upon tn
