Reciprocity With Other Nations.

We believe the repeal Of the reel.
procity arrangements negotiated by the
last Republican administration was a
national calamity and we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as viii 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-establlshed. 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 trdde and finds an
outlet for our surplus.

From the hour OF achieving their own

In reply to a correspondent who ask
ed why ''an the millionatres, Wall
street gamblers and railroad wreck.
ers are the most determned upholders
" the sold standard ' the Philadelphia
Times says:
The assumption that mllionaires
Wall street gamblers, and railroad
wreclers are the chief supporters Of
the gold standard in this country is a
demagogie utterancc made by kuaves
ana fools in every section ot the land.
All the miluouaires, Wall street gam
hlers and railroad vreckers In the en-
tire country do not agSregate one per
cent ot the population ~ the United
States and "a -y are less 0otent ga ssap-
ing the political destiny og the country
than any like number of American
citizens Of average intelligence, No
class would profit more by free silver
than the millionaires. The major por-
ton of their property would be nomin-
ally doubled in value. and they would
reap a rich harvest with their ready
millions from the bankruptcy that
would inevitably fall upon an over
whelming number Of those less favored
by fortune. Wall street gamblers would
have everything 10 gain by the unset
Ting OF values that would attend the
adoption of free silver, Anything that
disturbs the tranquility Of commerce
and trade is grist to the mill ot the
stock gambler. Railroad wreckers
would only have their business multi
piled by the acceptance Of the free
convulsion. AS a rule they would have
everything to gain by the degradation
to the silver standard. as they are
shrewd enough to have all their obHga-
tiOns Issued in the reorganization Of
railways payable in gold. while. under
free silver. they would pay their own
debts in money worth 50 cents on the
dollar. II we were TO call upon our
correspondent TO explain 20 the people
Of the country why every red-handed
anarchist OF the land is n blatant free
siiverite; why every agrarian who de-
spises the sanctity Of honestly acquired

Monroe Doctrine.

We reassert the Monroe doctrine In
Its full extent and reatlIrm the right OF
the UnuIted States to give the doctrine
effect by responding to the appeals OF
any American state for friendly inter-
ventlon in case OF European encroaoh-
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
union OF all the English
speaking part Of the continent by the
free consent OF It's inhabitants.
