4 Protective Tariff.

We renew and emphasize our aliesi.
anee to the policy " protection AS the
buiwark Of American Industrial indie
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 OF revenue on for
cign goods. II secures the American
market for the American producer; Il
upholds the American standard OF
wages Tor the American workingmRn;
farm. and makes the American farmer
less dependent on foreign demand and
price: It dinuses general thrift and
POUNDS the strength Of all on the
strength OF each. In It's reasonable APP
pllcatlon II Is Just. fair, and impartial,
equally opposed 10 foreign control and
domestic monopoly. 20 sectional dis
elimination and individual favoritism.
We denounce the present Democratic
tariff as sectional. injurious TO the pub
lie credit and destructive to business
enterprise. We demand such equitable
tarin 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 10 the
wage level Of other lands. We are not
pledged to any particular schedules.
The question OF rates Il a practical
question. to be governed by the condl-
lions OF the time and production; the
ruling and uncompromlsing principle
ls the protection and development OF
American labor and industry. The
country demands a right settlement
and then II wants rest.

Reciprocity With Other Nations.

We believe the repeal of the recl-
proclty ARRANGEMENTS negotiated by the
last Republican administration was n
national calamity, and we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as viii cqualIze 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 r~e-establlshed. Protection for
what we produce, free admission for
the necessarics 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 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 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 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.

Monroe Doctrine.

We reassert the Monroe doctrine in
its full extent and reanlrm the right OF
the Unuited States to give the doctrine
effect by responding to the appeals OF
any American state for friendly inter
vcntlon In case Of European encroach-
ment. We have not interforcd, and
shall not Interfere. with the existing
possessions OF any European power in
this hemisphere, but those possessions
must not, On any pretcxt, 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.

RAILWAY MEN

Railway AGE,
Already 800 Railway Mems Sound
Money Clubs have been organized in
the United States-au the way from
California to observation-disclosures they
have for their members 10000 railway
employees
Mr., Bryan. the free silver candidate
for the presidency. attacks and ridi-
cules the clubs He says that YOU are
being driven" and "coerced" into or
ganizing.
Thereby he insults the intelligence
and the manhood Of every railway
man. Are they cowards-the railway
men Of the country-that any man
should talk Of driving them to the
polls? Are you children. to be led
away by such boy talk as this?
Here is no question Of influence or
what any president or manage may
think. II is a question for your own
reason and your own couscience-a
question Of your own wages,
The presidents and managers Of the
railways Of the country are almost
unanimously opposed 10 free silver Let
US be thankful for it and proud-thank-
full and proud that. when the crisis
arose and the country's honor was al
stake. the men in charge Of the rail
ways-the men who are over you and
with you-were found almost 10 a man
arrayed against reputation and in
defense Of the nations prosperity and
the nations honor.
II is good. most good, for every
worker on a railway to know that for
once at least all railway men. from
presidents 10 lRborers. are shoulder
to shoulder in a common cause. But
talk Of your being driven is only an
insult which dishonors him who offers
it. It can only intensity the resolu-
ton Of every railway man TO reject
the shameful doctrines which have to
be supported by such unworthy argu-
ments.
Every silver orator proclaims that
free coinage will make all prices high
er. This is the essence Of their creed.
With this glittering bait they hope TO
delude the farmer into voting for the
country's disgrace.
But what will higher prices profit
you? Do you wish everything you buy
to cost you more? How will you be
better of II every dollar OF your wages
will only purchase one-half OF what it
purchases today? Take the silver men
at their word. They promise you
cheap dollars and expensive goods"
Have you need OF either?
No. Some people may foollshly sup
pose that they can prosper II the coun-
try is ruined. But with you and every
wage-earner-your interests and the
nations are the same. A debased and
cheapened dollar means the country's
shame. 1t also means the robbery OF
the wage Garner and the payment Of
labor in half-priced wages.
Organize, therefore. Resent the slur
that is cast on your independence. Or
ganize for sound money. Join the
nearest club. Go out and convert your
n~eighbors. 1t is for your own protec-
ton you are fighting. Organize and
work.

Mr.. William A. Carney, first vice
president OF the Amalgamated AsSocia-
ton Of Iron and Steel Workers, was
the spokesman OF a delegation which
recently visited Major Mckinley. In
the course Of his address Mr.. Carney
said: II am a workingman and know
the hard workingmen OF this country
will not be carried away by the bal
Ioouists in this campaign. l know and
they know that no matter whether we
have fifty billion dollars in silver or
one dollar. to get money we nus earn
it by honest toll and when we get ii
We want it to be equal to the best
in the world" Here is n mar who has
evidently given this subject intelligent
consideration and has arrived at the
cnIy conclusion that such consideration
can lead to, which is that coming silver
free for the producers OF silver will
give nothing 10 the masses who labor
for a living. They must continue TO
toll for what they get. though silver
dollars were piled as high as OSsa,
They have no bullion to take TO the
mint. Their capital Is their labor. The
only commodity they have TO sell is
their ability to work and when they
offer this in the market they al to
receive for 1t the best money there is
and not debased currency Of uncertain
value from week to week. They want
dollars OF the greatest purchasing pow
er. dollars which If laid aside for the
rainy day viii not shrink and depre-
clate. dollars which VIII not rob them
and their families while they sleep, dol
lars that do not deceive and lie to
them, dollars that are good everywhere.
Mr.. Carney is right, and the work
ingman who will not heed his counsel
is blind to his own interests. Free
silver holds out no promise Of benefit
to labor. It win not start up the in
dustries OF the country or create a de-
mand for work for the hundreds Of
thousands who are idle. On the con-
trary the Inauguration Of that policy
would produce conditions more disas-
trous to labor than any yet experience
ed. The loss and privation which the
millions Of working people in this land
have suffered from the effects Of Dem
ocratic tariff policy would sink into in
significance in comparison with what
would follow the free and unlimited
COINAGE Of silver.

Mr.. BLAINE's RECORD SET RIGHT


The attempts Of Bryan and other
Popocratic orators as well as Of Popo-
cratic committees to falsify the record
Of James c. Blaine on the silver ques-
ton by the use Of CARRIED extracts
from the speech ne delivered in the
senate on February :, 1873, has created
an extraordinary demand among Re-
publicans in all parts Of the country
for copies Of the speech itself. In par
tial response to this demand the Re
publican congress committee issued
several hundred thousand copies some
time ago, but the number was found
to be utterly inadequate, and an order
has now been given for the printing Of
a round million copies-the largest or
der that was eyer given for a single
document by any political committee.
If his number is found insufficient
more will be printed. Mr.. Bryan and
before the end OF the campaign that
they made a grievOus and disastrous
mistake when they attempted 70 falslfy
the record and misrepresent the atti-
tude Of Mr.. Blaine on the silver ques-
ton. It seems strange that any man
who was not a political idiot should
have made such an attempt. In the
purse Of the speech referred to Mr..
Blaine said:

and get ii stamped as coin and force
his neighbor to take it for a full dollar.
This is an undue, an unfair advantage
which the government has no right to
give the owners Of silver bullion and
which defrauds the man who is forced
to take the dollar. Evidently the first
