Reciprocity With Other Nations.

We believe the repeal Of the reci-
procity arrangements negotiated by the
last Republican administration was a
national calamity, and we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as will equalize 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.

Independence Of Cnba.

From the hour of achieving their own
independence the people of the United
States have regarded with sympathy
the struggles of other American peoples
to free themselves from European DOM
nation. We watch with deep and abid-
ing interest the heroic battle Of the Gu
ban patriots against cruelty and OPP
preston. and our best hopes go out for
the full success of their determined con-
test for liberty.
The government Of Spain. having lost
control of Cuba and being unable to
protect the property or lives Of resi-
dent American citizens or to comply
with its treaty obligationes. we believe
that the government of the United
States should actively use its influence
and good offices to restore peace and
give independence to the island.

Monroe Doctrine.

We reassert the Monroe doctrine in
its full extent and reaffirm the right Of
the Unuited States to give the doctrine
effect by responding to the appeals Of
any American state for friendly inter
vention in case OF European encroach-
ment. We have not interfered, and
shall not interfere, with the existing
possessions Of any European power in
this hemisphere, but those possessions
must not, on any pretext. be extended.
We hopefully look forward to the
eventual withdrawal Of the European
powers from this hemisphere. and the
ultimate union of all the English
speaking part Of the continent by the
free consent Of its inhabitants.

A Protective Tariff.

We renew and emphasize our allegi-
ance to the policy Of protection as the
bulwark OF American Industrial inde-
pendence and the foundation Of Amer
lean development and prosperity. This
true American policy taxes foreign pro-
ducts and encourages home industry;
1t puts the burden OF revenue on for
eign goods. It secures the American
market for the American producer; It
upholds the American standard Of
wages for the American workingman;
II puts the factory by the side Of the
farm. and makes the American farmer
less dependent on foreign demand and
price: IL diffuses general thrift and
founds the strength OF all on the
strength OF each. In its reasonable ap-
plication II is just. fair. and impartial.
equally opposed to foreign control and
domestic monopoly. TO sectional dis
elimination and individual fsvoritism.
We denounce the present Democratic
tariff as sectional. injurious to the pub
lie credit and destructive to business
enterprise. We demand such equitable
tariff on foreign imports which come
into competition with American pro-
ducts as will 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 a practical
question. to be governed by the condi-
tions OF the time and production; the
ruling and uncompromising principle
is the protection and development OF
American labor and industry. The
country demands a right settlement
and then II wants rest.

Pensions for Veterans.

The veterans Of the Union armies de-
serve and should receive fair treatment
and generous recognition. Whenever
practicable they should be given the
preference IN the matter Of employ
ment. and they are entitled to the en-
ac.ment Of such laws as best calculat-
ed to secure the fulfllment Of the
pledges made TO them in the dark days
Of the country's peril. We denounce
the practice OF the pension bureau so
recklessly and unjustly carried on by
the present administration. Of reducing
pensions and arbitrarily dropping
names from the rolls, as deserving the
severest condemnation Of the American
people.
