The foreign policy of Ben; amin Harrison and
James g. Blaine deserves TO receive the COM

serving the rights and dignity of the United
States and in extending the scope of Its infiu-

enforcement OF the Monroe doctrine. not only
as II applies to North and South AmeTics. but
also to those islands in the Atlantic and Pacific
which are or may become necessary to the pro-
lection of our coast line and our trade. When the
American flag covers American interests and
American honor it mus. never be lowered.

power in both executive aud legislative depart
ments OF the government, we now direct atten-
ton to the fact that il should either give fair
t-ial to the policies advocated in its national
platform or admit that it gained supremacy by
gross misrepresentation and hypocrisy.
