EYES
Eyes of back-what is't you back?
Have You not the magician's knack,
That lovers never shall be slack,
Oh, eyes of black?
Eyes of gray-what is't you say,
In your still, stern and modest way?
You are too clear to e'er betray,
Oh, eyes of gray.
Eyes of blue-wel, how are you?
Sometimes you're false, sometimes you re
true,
How oft you win when you do WOO,
Oh, eyes of blue?
Eyes of brown-why look you down?
When did | ever see you frown?
Are you not still my true loves crown
Oh, eyes of brown?

The financial PLANK

The Republican party is unreservedly
for sound money. IL caused tho enactment
Of the law providing for the resumption
OF specie payment in 1879. Since then ev-
cry dollar has been as good ns gold.
I'VE are unaltatahy opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our currency
or impair the credit Of our country. We
are, therefore. opposed 70 tho free coinage
Of silver. except by international agrce-
ment with the leading commercial rations
OF tho world, which we pledge ourselves
to promote and until such an agreement
can bo obtained the existing gold stand
ard must be preserved. An our silver and
paper currency must be maintained at
parity with gold, and we favor all meas
ures designed TO maintain inyiolably the
obli cations OF tho United states, and ali
money, in coin or paper, at the present
standard. the standard of the most enliCLt-
oned nations of the Garth.
The Cuban plank is conservative ex.
preston Of sympathy with the Cubans IN
their struggle for independence.
Other planks of the plnt'orm indorse
the Monroe doctrine favor he extension
of civil service. oppose the use OF public
money for sectarian purposes. condemn

equalize our trade with other nations, re-
move the restrictions that now obstruot

Protection and reciprocity are twin
measures of Republican policy and 20

our open markets TO others. Protection
builds up domestic industry and trade
and secures our OWE market for ourselves
/ Reciprocity builds up foreign trade and

I'VE condemn the present ndministra-
tion for not keeping faith with the sugar
producers OF the country. The Republican
party favors such protection as will lead
to the production on American soil OF all
sugar which the American people use.
