The Republican policy aims 70
place duty enough on foreign manu-
features to keep up the standard oi
wages here and to enable the Ameri-
can manufacturer to compete with
the foreigner in our own markets.
This is the patriotic Dolicy-tbc
policy of Washington. Jefferson. Mad-
isOn and Jackson.
1t seeks to build up the industries
of our own country and people, to
develop our resources and make US
truly independent. The free trader
would degrade the labor of this coun-
try to the foreign level or else close
W our factories.
The Republican policy would en-
ploy all OfO labor at good wages rs
IL Is doing to-day and would keep the
money spent for goods and wares in
cur own country instead of sending
it abroad TO make business lively
across the cheering pond"
In last falls campaign The Demo.
cratic campaigners hired tin peddlers
not to peddle tin to any great extent
but to peddle galvanized campaign
lies. They would ask % cents for

a poor granger believed that 1t was
abe ut the last chance to secure one a.

Demo cratic merchants circulated
hand bills and posters adm0nishing
their customers that unless they made
their purchases now the lrice on
everything would be doubled as som
AS the dreadful Mckinley bill went
into effect. and even now some of toe
Democratic papers are keeping III
the deception by furnishing as proof
the advertising tricks of merchants
who are always pretending for one
reason or another to have some al.
yantages to offer their customers.
But time, the great leveler. is MAX .
ing all things even.
The reciprocity arrangement is 60.
ing quietly into effect with the most
gratifying results. opening up to our
farms and factories, our forests and
our mines new and valuable markets
which had been closed to us and al
the same time reducing the cost o.
the things we have to buy.
The Mckinley bill has also gone
into effect and is building up new Ell
terprises and also great many ole
ones which had been broken dowI
by foreign competition and is giving
the lie in a most practical way to the
duleful predictions of the English
loving Democracy whoare ever ready
to sacrifice the prosperity of th'
American people if they can thereby
secure political ascendency.
These things will be remembered
and an explanation will be in Orde
when the people come to vote agail
at the next general election.
