Maintain the American Policy.

The real interest of the nation is not
to change its policy but to continue it
continue the policy that has made
it great. If it is recognized as keep
ing the front place among the greatest
nations from now on it will not be
due to the army or its navy; it will
be due to the industrial policy under
which the nation has been developed
and its military and naval success
made possible. 1t is continuance,
then, of this policy which will make
the republic great. 1t will be greater
still if it can turn from this military
DEPRESSION and resume its previous
industrial policy. It's previous indus
trial policy has given us our wealth
and prosperity; it has given the
IabOrerS OF this country something to
fight for something to esteem: as
Carl Schurz said in his recent article
in German paper correcting the mis-
conceptions of the Germans regarding
America, all Germans who have made
their home in this country will FIGHT
as readily for their new fatherland as
they ever would for their old father
land. Nothing has made this possible.
l say. but the industrial policy under
which the material prosperity Of the
people has undergone a progress not
witnessed in any other cOuntry.-s

All reports coming from the seat OF
war confirm and establish that which
was believed to be true respecting the
barbariSm and ferOcity of the Spanish
inhabitants of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines The wisdom OF the
republican party is again made plain
when they were called upon to deal
with the question Of the independence
.Of Cuba. They foresaw the helpless
ness of these insurgents even though
the Spanish army should be with
drawn, and consequently the repub-
lican party stood for more than d mere
recognition Of independence. The
democrats fought and cOntended stub
bOrnly for resolution simply reCOg-
nizing the independence of the island
OF Cuba, which would then leave
these helpless insurgents to the cruel
tieS'and inhumanities practiced for q
hundred years Or more in the island:
but the republican party said, Let US
help'theSe people who are struggling
for Independence to throw off the
yoke Of bondage Spain has SO long i'm
posed upon them; then let Us protect
them in the establishment Of a stable
governments" - for the republican
party believes that good government
should precede Independence. The
times have already yindicated the
wisdom of the legislation which was
enacted by the persistent effort of the
republicans in power and approved by
a republican president.

One feature of the new tariff act
which caused especial complaint
among those who opposed to the pro-
tectiye theory was the assertion that
the duty which was placed on hides
would increase the price of shoes. In
answer to this it is only necessary to
call attention to the price table re-
Gently established in Dun's Review
quoting the prices of boots and shoes
from June l. 1897, to July 6, 1898, which
show that in almost every class the
price of shoes is lower than in the
months before the adoption of the
Dingley law which placed a duty on
imported hides. 1t proves that while
the farmer has been protected in the
matter of hides, the purchaser of shoes
has not been compelled to suffer.

The business statistics for the past

such strong argument in favor Of d

doctrine for long time to come.
Whether the Dingley ill is to be

favorable showing the figures make,
it is certain that the country has just
closed the biggest year for business in
its history.-Leadyillc (COl.) Herald.

which this country has enjoyed during
