4 Protective Tarld.

We renew and emphasize our allrgl-
ancu to the policy ot protection as the
bulwark of American Industrial indc-
pendence and the foundation of Amer
lean development and prosperity. This
true American policy taxes foreign pro-
ducts aud encourages home industry;
II puts the burden ~ revenue on for
eign goods. II secures the American
market for the American producer; Il
uphulds the American standard Of
wages for the American workingman;
1t puts the factory by the side OF The
farm. aud makes the American farmer
less dependent on foreign demand and
price: II dlfIuses general thrift and
POUNDS the strength OF all on the
strength OF each. In It's reasonable APP
plication Il Is just, fair. and impartial
equally opposed TO foreign control and
domestic monopoly. 10 sectional dis
elimination and individual fayoritism.
We denounce the present Democratic
thllAA Aa SN'Auihis lilJuiN" w Wv lNH-
lie credit and destructive to business
enterprise. We demand such equitable
tarin on foreign imports which come
into competition with American pro-
ducts as win not only furnish adequate
revenue for the necessary expenses OF
the government. but will protect Amer
lean labor from degradation To the
wage level Of other lands. We are not
pledged to any particular schedules.
The question OF rates Is n practical
question. to be governed by the condl-
tions or the time and production; the
ruling and uncompromlsing principle
Is the protection and development Of
American labor and industry. The
country demands n right settlement
and then 1t wants rest.

Reciprocity With Other Nations.

We believe the repeal Of the reel
procity arrangements negotiated by the
last Republican administration was Il
national calamity, and we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as viii equallze our trade with
other nations, remove the restrictions
which now obstruct the sale Of Amer
lean products in the ports OF other
countries and secure the enlarged mar
kets Of our farms, forests and factories
Protection and reciprocity are twin
measures Of Republican policy, and go
hand in hand. Democratic rule has
recklessly struck down both, and both
must be re-establIshed. Protection for
what we produce, free admission for
the necessaries Of life which we don't
produce, reciprocal agreements Of mu-
tual interest which gain open markets
for US in return for our open market TO
others. Protection builds up domestic
industry and trade and secures our
own market for ourselves. Reciprocity
builds up foreign trade and finds an
outlet for our surplus.

A WARNING To ASTORIA.

Upon the eve of a phenomenal
growth in its commerce and general
business Astoria's merchants and rep
resentative business men should look
well to the future and lay their plans
to avoid the shoals and quicksands
which have so nearly wrecked other
well-planned projects and brought tenn
porary ruin to towns whose positions
seemed impregnable. That in some Of
these instances there was no real foun-
dation for the substantial growth Of
towns as promised on paper, does not
detract from the general proposition
been good foundation to build on,
the superstructure has fallen lamenta-
bly, short of expectations and promises,
and prosperity has been retarded by
following immature plans, forcing a
mushroom growth beyond the capacity
and necessities of the place, and then
the community has been compelled to
take side track and wait for the
times to catch up with the town. An
apt illustration, near at home is given
in the history Of Tacoma.
Built on a magnificent harbor dur
ing the boom times of the construc-
ton of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
Nurtured by a powerful corporation
Tacoma sprang up from a forest at
the lower end Of Puget Sound into a
busy city, and soon became the CEN
ter of a large commerce. Promoters,
real estate men. and business men
generally, overreaching their capacity,
and discounting the possibilities Of the
future. built a city with the facilities
for doing twice the amount Of business
secured or in sight What was the re-
suit?
AS stated by a visitor in this city
yesterday, Tacoma for number Of
years past, has been houndering about
in the dress and possessing the facili-
ties of a full-hedged city, but lacking
the business and capacity Of even a
grown beyond his years, but wearing
the trousers and coat Of a man, still
possessing the foolishness Of childhood
Only today is Tacoma beginning TO re-
cover from this Overproduction or alb
normal growth. No one doubts that
she has had and still has the making
Of a city Of Importance, but her mis-
takes have been many and the one ex-
ample cited of her eager haste to se-
cure water works far in excess Of her
demands, and at tremendous cost, fully
illustrates the point in question.
II is well for us to carefully consider
the lesson so bitterly learned by our
neighbors, and take good care that we
do not make similar mistakes. Too
mu III cannot be said to urge forward
the growth and prosperity Of Astoria,
but with it all must be exercised the
same business judgment which has
brought success in private affairs to
every man of note in the country
When laying our plans for a great
city, and pushing to completion va
rious manufacturing and commercial
enterprises, let Astoria make sure that
the foundations are well and carefully
laid. 1t is an incontroYertible fact
that the natural advantages Of this
