was victim of that worst form of dis
ease-contagious blood poison. He
realized that his life was about to be
blasted, for this terrible disease has
baf1ed the skill of the physicians for
ages, and they have never yet been
able to effect a cure. HIS mental
despair can better be imagined than
described.

Reciprocity With Other Nations.

We believe the repeal Of the reel
procity arrangements negotiated by the
last Republican administration was
national calamity. and we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as win cqualIze 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 20
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 necessarles 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.

control of Cuba and being unable to

and good offices to restore peace and

How will the free coinage Of silver

money is all in his stock Of goods, or
