Reciprocity With Other Nations.

We believe the repeal Of the reel.

last Republican administration was a
national calamity. and we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as viii cquallze 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.

Monroe Doctrine.

We reassert the Monroe doctrine in
Its fun extent and reatiirm the right OF
the UnuIted states to give the doctrine
effect by responding TO the appeals Of
any American state FOR friendly inter
vcntion in case OF European encronch-
ment. We have not interfercd. and
shall not Interfere, with the existing
possessions OF any European power In
this hemisphere. but those possessions
must not, on any prctext, 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 It's inhabitants.

PoFULIsTIc DISHONESTY.

The recent exposure OF the .ircula-
ton by Bryan managers OF i gar5led
copy Of one Of James G. iilaiae's
speeches on finance. wherein it is made
TO appear by the process Of cutting ont
and interpolating entire sentences ard
even paragraphs that Mr.. Blaine was
opposed TO the gold standard. ought to
convince every intelligent man Of the
inherent hypocrisy and utter deception
Of the present free silver propaganda.
There has also been going the rounds
for years a reputed prediction from
Abraham Lincoln that the government
for which he had seen so many bill
lions Of money spent and thousands of
human lives given to sustain. was des-
tined to prove failure through the
encroachment Of corporations and the
oppression Of the poor by the rich. Of
course all readers Of Lincoln's life and
every student Of Lincoln history in
stantly knows on seeing the pretended
statement that Lincoln could not have
made it. In fact it has been repeatedly
proved both by Lincoln biographers
and the testimony of members of his
official and domestic households that
the circumstances never happened un-
der which it is pretended the state
ment was made. Yet the miserable and
dishonest fake still continues TO regu-
larIy turn up in hackwoods papers and
the orations Of free FLYER aritat r.
Could anything be more despicable
than these attempts to play upon the
ignorance or credulity Of the great
mass of people who revere the memory
and respect the wisdom Of Blaine and
Lincoln? Can honest men be induced
by such transparent frauds and con-
temptible tricks to turn over the great
offices once occupied by Blaine and
Lincoln TO the unscrupulous politicians
VhB resort to such a means TO obtain
them?
These ISLANDERS Of the dead are only
a small piece Of the wholesale scheme
Of lying and misrepresentation by
which the Watsons, Altgelds and TILL
mans hope to revenge themselves upon
the patriotic statesmen who have stood
between them and the destruction Of
every principle Of government which
has contributed 10 make the country
great and powerful. 1t is by such
means as this that Bryan expects to
be elected, and 1t is by the promise Of
the exalted honors it would be in mis-
power to bestow that he commands the
aid of this pack of wolves in his cam
paign.

Independence of Cuba.

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.

Brazil has a paper currency issued
by the government, a system such as
the Populists want in the United
States. The Omaha Bee says accord

Gently returned from Brazil exchange
fiuctuates between 915 and 10 pence and
every man who buys or sells a dollars
worth of goods does it subject to the
risk of fiuctuation. Necessarily there
is little or no stability. As exchange
goes down prices go up. Commodities
are three times as high as they were
three years ago, before the system Of
government paper money was inaugu-
rated, but the wages Of labor have not
raised in any such proportion. Labor
does not realize more than half as
much in Brazilian currency as it did
five or six years ago, though the people
have to pay in the same currency

Judge Williams and other respects-
Bile people Of Portland are reaping
the natural and deserved reward Of
their political perhdy last spring in
turning the city over 20 the control
Of its present humbug mayor and his
odious crowd Of satellites. These men
knew Pennoyer OF old. and they had
fair warning that their course in bring
