who are cndcayoring To secure like blessings

ing all treaty obligations. is especially active
and earnest when excited by the struggling OF
neghboring peoples who. like TIE CubanS, are
near enough to observe the workings Of II gov

the consent Of the governed.
THE CIVIL SERVICE
That the American people are not In favor OF

THE TERRITORIES.
The territorial form Of government Is tenn
porary in its nature and should give way as

-HE TARIFF
1t is not necessary to discuss the tariff qucS-
ton al this time Whatever may be the indi-
yidual views Of citizens as to the relative
merits of protection and tariff reform, all must
recognize that until the money question is fully
and finally settled the American people will
not consent TO the consideration of any other
important question Taxation presents prob

ard pcstponcment Of definite action uron ii
involves no sacrifice Of personal opinion or po-
litical principles: but the crisis presented by
financial conditions cannot be postponed.
Tremendous results will follow the action
taken by the United States on the money ques-
tion and delay is impossible. The people Of
this nation, sitting as high court. must rem
