that the present administration intends
to stick to the Mckinley tariff policy
and that, in order to secure the whole
American market, it will put pressure to
bear upon some OF the United States
neighbors and offer advantages to others,
Continuing, this paper says: "Al-
though this policy will involve au enor-
nous outlay, it yet may be approved by
a large SECTION Of American voters. This
artificial forcing of the carrying trade
cannot be done without Great cost TO

clude that the object Of the Republican
party is to exclude Great Britain from
the United States and from all Southern
