protection and reciprocity are twin
measures OF republican policy, and go
mana IN hand. Democratic rule has
recKiessly struck down both, and both
must De re-establlshed. Protection for
what we produce; free admission for
the necessaries OF life which we do not
produce; reciprocity agreements Of
mutual interest which gain open mar
Kets IN return FOR our open markets to
others. protection builds up domestic
industry and trade, and secures our
own market Tor ourselves; reciprocity
pulias up foreign trade and finds an
outlet tor our surplus.
