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 win equallze 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-estabIshed 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 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
ination. 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 20 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 obllgatlones, 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.

A PLAIN DUTY.

The paramount question Of the hour
relates to the future action Of the
sound money Democrats who have re-
jeeted the work Of the Chicago con.
rention- They are men Of purpose and
conviction. and they hope TO see Mr.
Bryan defeated at the polls. They are
now discussing the best means Of con-
tributing to that end Shall they sup
port the ticket which may be nominat-
ei BY sound money convention. and
poll as many votes as possible for it?
Or shall they go over promptly and
openly to the support of AIr. McKln-
ley and help swell the straightout sup
port Of the Republican ticket?
