We are now upon a gold standard.
Values and prices have shaped and es-

policy to be pursued by old time DEM

ing under Republican guidance"

Expansion of Trade.

II these views make me an expan.
sionist, then / am one. And / am an
expansionist in the development OF the
wealth and power of the republic.
believe in the expansion OF our com
merce, the export of the products OF
our soil and workshops to every mar
ket of the world. / believe In adopting
and maintaining currency that is
used and recognized by the nations OF
the world. We are at the commence
ment Of new era. The Slav and An
glo-Saxon are entering upon contest
for supremacy. Their lines Of civil
zation have paralelled the continent OF
Asia, and now threaten our commercial
interests in the markets of China, Jap
an and the Islands of the Feast. We
cannot stand idly by and see these
markets closed to ourselves and the
world; and until these and similar
great International questions may be
met and determined by congress OF
nations. each nation must be prepared
to assert and defend its own rights, as
we'll as to protect and defend the rights
of others who are unable to protect
and defend themselves.
This nation will never recede from
the advanced position it has already
taken, end the aim OF every man who
loves his country should be, to aid and
assist in guiding its destiny so as to
give the largest amount OF individual
freedom and prosperity to its citizens
at home and relieve oppression abroad.
This is expansion along the lines OF
human progress. and not those of ag-
gression and conquest. A conservatism
that adopts policy less advanced will
not meet with approval from an en-
lightened and progressive people.
I am, very sincerely yours,
Bartlett Trip.
