American labor and industry. The country
demands a right settlement and then 1t

I'VE believe the repeal of the reciprocity
arrangements negotiated by the last re-
publican administration a national
disgrace, and we demand their renewal
and extension on such terms as will equal
ize our trade with other nations, remove
the restrictions which now obstruct the
sale OF American products in the ports Of
other countries, and secure enlarged mar
kets for the products of our farms, forests
and factories.
Protection and reciprocity are the twin
measures of republican policy, and go
hand in hand: Democratic rule has reck-
lessly struck down both, and both must be
re-establshed. Protection, for what we
produces; free admissions for the necessaries
OF life which we do not prodvce: recip-
which gain open markets in return for our
open markets to others. Protection builds
cures our, own market for ourselves; re-
ciprocty builds up foreign trade and finds
an outlet for our surplus.
