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

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 It's 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.

The sound money element Of the Re
publican party triumphed at ST. Louis
in compelling the adoption Of an un-
equivocal declaration in favor Of the
existing gold standard. Mr.. Mckinley
IN his short speech Of acceptance de-
elared that the platform had received
his careful attention and his unquali-
fied approval. Upon the subject Of
money he said: The money Of the
United states. and every kind or form
Of it, whether Of paper. silver or gold.
must be as good as the best in the
world. II must not only be counted at
its full face value at home, but it must
be counted at par in any and every
commercial center of the world" The
dollar paid to the farmer. the wage
Garner. and the pensioner must con-
tinue forever equal in purchasing and
debt paying power TO the dollar paid
TO any government creditor" II these
conditions are fulfilled the gold stand
ard must be maintained, and, having
pledged himself fully to their fulfill
ment, Mr.. Mckinley is pledged une-
quivocally TO the maintenance of the
existing or gold standard, and. being
an honest man, is not likely 10 cheat
the people if elected. With its candi-
date thus publicly committed to an
honest financial system the Republican
party is at last in position TO make an
honest battle for honest money and to
invite 10 the support of its candidate
every voter Of whatever party name
who believes that the American dollar
should possess the full purchasing pow
er of one hundred cents.

Reciprocity With Other Nations.

We believe the repeal OF the reel

last Republican administration was
national calamity. and we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as will equallze our trade with
other nations. remove the restrictions
which now obstruct the sale OF Amer

Protection and reciprocity are twin
measures Of Republican policy. and go
hand In hand. Democratic rule has
rccklessly struck down both. and both

what we produce, free admission for

produce. reciprocal agreements OF mu-
tual interest which gain open markets

others Protection builds up domestic
industry and trade and secures our

builds up foreign trade and finds an

was "demonetized" in 1873, which is not
the fact. silver demonetized itself
through increased production,
one OF the strong arguments used
against the indiscriminate use of the
white metal by a speaker ON the other
side recently was that "if free coinage

price Of silver to its old relation OF
sixteen to one with gold the producers
and owners OF silver would alone profit
by the operation II, on the other hand,
free coinage should not have this effect

FREE SILVER, SIXTEEN TO ONE.

The platform of the Democratic par
ty in the campaign Of 1886 is settled.
Its candidate, whoever he may be,
will be committed to the free coinage Of
silver at ratio of IS TO /, regardless Of
international action. We wonder If the
majority of voters who will be depend
ed on to vote for the success Of the Chi
cago ticket, and the adoption OF this
monstrous fallacy fully realize what it
means With all the talk so far heard
about the money standards it may be
fairly doubted if three-fourths Of the
people who howl for free silver have
ever tried TO understand what it means.
It means that any holder Of silver
bullion, silver plate or other articles
Of that metal, can take it to the mints
and have it coined into dollars free Of
cost, the pure silver in which shall be
sixteen times the amount OF pure gold
in the gold dollar. The government
would have to make these silver dollars
legal tenderS Tor all DEBTS, pubic and
private, for double the actual value Of
the metal that is in them. AS gold
coinage, worth 100 cents on the dollar,
is the established money standard Of
this government (as well as Of nearly
all other enlightened governments), 1t
must be evident that the masses Of the
people, not having silver bars or plate,
are bound to be cheated with a dollar
worth only 50 cents. The gold coin
when melted is worth as much as it
was worth before, while the silver dol
lar when melted and sold as bullion
would be worth only half as much as
in the legal-tender coinage. There are
free coinage advocates who state that
the reason silver is so low is because it
