Independence of Cnha.

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
inatlon. We watch with deep and abld-
ing interest the heroic battle Of the Gu
ban patriots against cruelty and op-
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 obllgationes, 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.

Reciprocity With Other Nations.

We believe the repeal Of the reel
procity arrangements negotiated by the
last Republican administration was
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-establshed 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.

DEMOCRATIC TAXATION EXPERT
MENT.


In 1899 the Democrats wanted to try
some experiments in taxation. and
they were placed in power for the
purpose Of doing this. II was claimed
that a new form Of raising money for
the expenses OF the government would
help the country greatly, and especial
ly the working man.
In order that every opportunity
should be afforded for the trial Of
these much-lauded experiments, all
branches of the national government
were placed in the hands Of the exper-
fmenters, so that they had free field
The country was unusually prosper
Gus at the time ii was decided to allow
these experiments 10 be made. Manu-
factories were running on full time
people generally were employed, and
savings banks were receiving the sur
plus income Of wage-earners.
Before the Democratic congress met,
manufacturers began to prepare for
the experiments by restricting their
output, cutting down wages and grad
ually discharging cE7ployes until in
ally. large Eur.be. Ct tam closed
entirely, and thousands of men and
women were unable to find employ
ment, and many were supported by
charity.
Meantime congress was trying 10
settle upon the form Of the experiment.
Weeks heightened into months, and
yet the dreary talk went on, while
mills closed down. banks suspended,
and business houses failed; in fact,
panic was precipitated. Finally after
leaving the business community in
doubt for weeks as TO what manner Of
experiment was to be made, the VIII
son bill became law, and with it the
famous and odious income tax.
What has been the result Of this
Democratic experiment in taxation?
The income tax enactment has been
declared unconstitutional by the su-
preme court, and the tariff has so far
failed to supply the government with
income that the fiscal year just closed, !
shows a deficit Of twenty-five millions
Of dollars, an increase Of bonded in
debtedness of s131, 100000 But this is
not the worst feature Of this dismal |
failure. Individual losses incurred, |
while these tax experiments have been
under way, have been enormous. but
will never be accurately known.
Another national campaign is on.
Again there are men who want to ex-
pertinent with something, declared to
be a sovereign remedy for all financial
ills. This cure-all is silver. Accord
ing to these experimenters, farmers,
mechanics, aborers-everybody, in
fact, except capitalists-are to be
made happy and comfortable by the
free coinage of silver at ratio Of 16
TO 1. After four years Of supreme sus-
pense and disaster the country wants
no more experiments.

A Protective Tarlh.

We renew and emphasize our allegi.
ance 10 the policy OF protection as the
bulwark OF American industrial lnde-
pendence and the foundation of Amer
lean development and prosperity. This
true American policy taxes foreign pro-
ducts and encourages home industry;
Il puts the burden ot revenue on for
eign goods. Il secures the American
market for the American producer; Il
upholds the American standard OF
wages for the American worklngman: I:
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
POUNDS the strength ot all on the
strength OF each. In It's reasonable ap-
pllcatlon II Is just. fair. and impartial
equally opposed 10 foreign control and
domestic monopoly, 10 sectional dis
elimination and individual ravorltism.
We denounce the present Democratic
taFlU as secuunal, injurious 70 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 ms will not only furnish adequate
revenue for the necessary expenses OF
the government, hut will protect Amer
lean labor from degradation 10 the
wage level OF other lands We are not
pledged to any particular schedules.
