USE DYNAMITE AND NETS.
THE METHOD REPORTED FOR THE
CAPTURE OF TROUT.
a Club TO be Organized for the Purpose of
Prosecuting the Law Breakers.

Prosecuting the Law Breakers.
During the past few DAYS number
Of our law=abiding citizens have been
discussing some method for protect
ing the trout streams in this inn
mediate vicinity. 1t is well known
fact, that in spite of the continual
planting Of trout each year, that the
fish are becoming scarce and that it is
almost impossible to make good
catch with hook and line II has now
been learned that unlawful methods
have been used in our trout streams.
the use of nets and dynamite being
employed. 1t has been rumored that
explosives have been used extensively
in the Borah branch and along Grant
river for the past six or eight weeks,
and large quantities of fish of the
trout variety taken therefrom. While
the offenders Of the law gather in the
largest of the fish, they leave hundreds
of small ones. which have been killed
also, to float away. 1t is also rumored
that many of the other streams have
been subject to the same unlawful
measure
A number of these parties are
known, and a careful watch will be
given from now on. A club of worthy
fellows will soon be organized in Lam
caster for the purpose of catching and
prosecuting any person or persons
caught in the act of catching fish by
unlawful methods. and the full and
rigid enforcement of the law will be
executed to punish the perpetrators.
As there is ND active game warden in
this territory some persons have be-
come overbold in their unlawful
actions.
The season for fishing trout opens
on the 18th day of April and closes
the goth day of August in each year
Every law-abiding citizen should do
all in his power to see that the laws
of the state are rigidly enforced. A
person need net necessarily be found
with trout in his possession, for being
found along any trout stream with a
rod and line during the close season
is prinad tdcie evidence. for which
such person can be prosecuted. The
use of net or any explosive is I'M
lawful at all times, and any person
caught in the act should be i'm
mediately arrested. If the people
expect to have any fish in this vicinity
they must protect them.

The Financial Issue.

THE Republican party Is unreserv-
ediy for sound money. II caused the
enactment Of the law providing for the
resumption Of specie payments In 1879;
since then every dollar has been as
good as gold. We are unalterably op-
posed 20 every measure calculated to de-
base our currency or impair the credit
OF our country. We are, therefore, op-
posed 10 the free coinage Of silver, ex-
cept by international agreement with
the leading commercial nations Of the
world. which we pledge ourselves to
promote. and until such agreement can
be obtained we believe the existing
gold standard must be preserved. All
our silver and paper currency now in
circulation must be maintained at q
parity with gold. and we favor all
measures designed TO maintain lnviola-
bic the obligations Of the United
States. and all our money. whether coin
or paper, at the present standard. the
standard Of the most enlightened ma
Iions Of the earth"

and dishonor abroad, and shall he re-

success and prosperity.

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 abid-
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 obligationes. 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 Protective Tariff.

We renew and emphasize our allesi-
ance to the policy Of protection as the
bulwark OF American industrial inde-
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
eign goods. It secures the American
market for the American producer; It
upholds the American standard Of
wages for the American worhngman;
It puts the factory by the side Of the
farm. and makes the American farmer
less dependent on foreign demand and
price; It diffuses general thrift and
POUNDS the strength Of all on the
strength Of each. In its reasonable ap-
pllcation II is just, fair. and impartial.

domestic monopoly. TO sectional dis
elimination and individual favoritism.

lie credit and destructive to business
enterprise. We demand such equitable
tariff 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 to the
wage level OF other lands. We are not
pledged to any particular schedules.
The question OF rates is a practical
question. to be governed by the condi-
tions of the time and production; the
ruling and uncompromising principle
is the protection and development Of
American labor and industry. The
country demands a right settlement
and then 1t wants rest.
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1896-10-28
Monroe Doctrine.

We reassert the Monroe doctrine in
its full extent and reaffirm the right of
the Unuited States to give the doctrine
effect by responding to the appeals of
any American state for friendly inter-
vention in case Of European encroach-
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
ultimate union of all the English
speaking part Of the continent by the
free consent OF it's inhabitants.
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1896-10-28
Reciprocity With Other Nations.

We believe the repeal Of the reci-
procity arrangements negotiated by the
last Republican administration was a
national calamity. and we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as will 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-established. 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.

Rights Of Women.

The Republican party is mindful Of
the rights and interests OF women. Pro-
lection of American industries includes
equal opportunities. equal pay for equal
work and protection to the home. We
favor the admission OF women TO wider
spheres of usefulness, and welcome
their cooperation in rescuing the coun-
try from Democratic and Populist mis-
and misrule. Such are the
principles and policies of the Republi-
can party By these principles we win
abide and these principles we will put
into execution. We ask for them the
considerate judgment of the American
people.
Confident alike in the history of our
great party and in the justice Of our
cause. we present our platform and our
considerations, in the full assurance
that the election will bring victory to
the Republican party and prosperity to
the people of the United States.

Foreign Relations.

Our foreign policy should be at all

all our interests in the western hemis-

The Hawaiian Islands should be con-

eign power should be permitted to in

Canal should be built. owned and op-
Grated by the United States. and by
the purchase Of the Danish Islands we
should secure a proper and much-need-

Armenian MaSSacreS.

The massacres in Armenia have
aroused the deep sympathy and Just
Indignation of the American people.
and We believe that the United States
should exercise all the influence it can
properly exert to bring these atrocities
to an end. In Turkey, American resi-
dents have been exposed to the gravest
dangers and American property de-
stroyed. There and everywhere Amer
ican citizens and American property
must be absolutely protected at all
hazards and at any cost.
