FROM THE islanders point of view

FROM THE islanders point of view
it is not only the right but the duty OF
newspaper, which is i'm any sense a
party paper, to crltlcise or comment
upon any proceedings of a political ma
ture which it deems ill advised. The
discharge of such duty is not always
pleasant, for it sometimes happens that
such criticisms, however honest and
courteous, are regarded almost as per-
sonal affronts. THE ISLANDER will do
its utmost to promote the success of Re-
publican principles and advance the in
terests of this county in every respect.
If in its work in this line it incurs the
ill will of any man it will be because
its motives are deliberately miscon-
strued.

PROTECTION AND RECIPROCITY.

Last week THE ISLANDER con tanned
a brief summary of the Republican
platform adopted at st. Louis, together
with the financial plank in full. Fol
lowing are the vigorous and patriotic
declarations on the subjects of tariff,
protection and reciprocity. The two
propositions, sound money and pro-
lection, for protection and reciprocity
are virtually one, are the meat i'll the
cocoanut of the campaigns:
ave renew and emphasize our allie
glance to the policy of protection as the
bulwark of an American industrial i'll
dependence and the foundation of
American development and prosperity.
This true American policy taxes for
eign products and encourages home
industry, and it puts the burden Of
revenue on foreign goods; it secures
the American market for the Ameri
can producer; it upholds the American
standard of wages for the American
Workingmen; 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 application it is just, fair
and impartial, equally opposed to for
eign control and domestic monopoly,
to sectional discrimination and indi-
vidual favoritism. We denounce the
present Democrtic tariff as sectional,
injurious to the public credit and de-
structive to business enterprise. We
demand such an equitable tariff OH
foreign imports which come into conf
petition with American products as
will not only furnish adequate revenue
for the necessary expenses of the gov
eminent, but will protect American
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-
tons of the time and of production !;
the ruling and uncompromsing princi-
pie is the protection and development
of American labor and industry. The
country demands a right settlement,
and then it wants rest.
ave believe the repeal of the reel
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 Amerl-
can products in the marts of other
countries, and secure enlarged markets
for the products of our farms. forests
and factories. Protection and reci-
procity are twin measures of Republi-
can policy, and go hand in hand
Democratic rule has recklessly struck
down both and both must be re-estab-
lished. Protection for what we pro-
duce; free admission for the necessaries
of life which we do not produce; reel
procal agreements of mutual interests
which gam open markets in return for
our open markets to others. Protec-
ton builds up domestic Industry and
trade and secures our own market for
ourselves; reciprocity builds up foreign
trade and fluids an outlet for our sur
plus.n

is not the consent but the con-
currence of European nations that the
Republican party asks in its efforts 10

C image means silver nlonOnletaiiisili,
for il would result in such premium
upon gold that it would practically all
be cornered by the great capitalists OF
sent out of the country. IN a recent
article in the North American Review,
DR.. Ahrendt, Germany's greatest ao-
vocate of bimettalism, argues most
earnestly and convincingly that the
adoption by the United States of the
free coinage of silver at the ratio OF 10
to would be the most serious blow
that the cause of bimitta'lism could
possibly receive.
The islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1891-1899, 1896-07-02

IT is now fOregone conclusion that
the Democratic National convention
will declare unequivOcally for the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of Is 20 l,
not because the great leaders of the
party believe in such a policy of finance,
for the reverse is true, but because the
small fry politicians whose name is L.
gion and Tho have an Unsuitable appetite
for office, realize that the only possible
chance they have Of floating to success
lies III climbing upon a silver plank and
padding for all they are worth.
