Foreign Relations.

Our foreign policy should be at all times firm, vigorous and dignihed, and all our interests in the western hemi- sphere carefully watched and guarded. The Hawaiian islands should be con- trolled by the United States, and no for eign power should be permitted to interfere with them; the Nicaragua canal should be built owned and operated by the United States; and by the purchase of the Danish islands we should secure proper and much needed naval station in the West Indies.

SeeHAyv Money.

The Mexican dollar wabbles with sill
YER The United States dollar stands
solid by gold. Measured in gold and
maintained ut a parity with gold, Its
value rema ms. Within three years the
Mexican dollar has been as high as 20
cents. and it has been as low as 4S
cents. Its value rises and falls with
the demand for silver, and this varies
with the trade In silk and the trade in
tea, with the exchange on India and
the payment Of war indemnities by
China and Japan, and all the world Of
trade and speculation. Within the
year it has been as high as 60 cents,
and has dropped to Its present price.
This is the kind Of seesaw money
the United States is asked to adopt.
Up and down. Now high and now
low. Never good US a gold dollar, and
never maintaining any certain ratio
with it, Labor receives in this coun-
try in wages in year $4,000, ,OOO, 900.
II these wages had been paid in sil-
yer this year the loss in the price of
silver in the past six months would
have cut the value of these wages
down by $1O0,OO0,OO0, a tax on labor
one-fifth as large as that of the cost of
the federal government for a year.

What Free Silver Would DO.

"Free silver would not mean that
silver dollars were to be freely had
without cost or labor. 1t would mean
the free use of the mints of the United
States for the few who are owners Of
silver bullion, but would make silver
coin no freer to the many who are en-
gagged in other enterprises. 1t means
the debasement Of our currency to the
amount of the difference between the
commercial and coin value Of the sill
yer dollar, which is ever changing,
and the effect would be to reduce prop
erty values, entail untold financial loss,
destroy confidence, impair the obliga-
tions of existing contracts, further i'm
poverish the laborers and producers Of
the country, create panic of unparal-
leled severity, and infict upon trade
and commerce q deadly blow. No one
suffers so much from cheap money as,
the farmers and laborers. They are.
the first to feel it's bad effects and the
last to recover from them. This has
been the uniform experience Of ALL
countries. s."-McKinley's Letter Of Ac-
ceptance. .......t. /;
