Morris tribune., 1898-07-06

empl1lIed IN The administration or VIII
lam Mckinley. The work Of undoing the
mischief wrought upon American Indus
try by the last Democratic administration
Is being prosecuted with u vigor thaS
commends our admiration. The wisdom
OF our Republican congress cannot be too
highly commended for It's efforts in pro-
viding such remedial legislation as IL
necessary TO reform abuses growing out
of Democratic misrule,. to supply the
wants Of an exhausted treasury and repair
| the damage produced by the gross mlg-
management of our national finances by
enacting tariff which afforded neither
protection nor revenue, and was destruc-
| tive Of the interests Of the wageearner
Foreign Policy Endorsed,
In the broader field Of our relations
with foreign powers, the administration,
by it's patriotic action in applying Amer.
lean doctrines and principles to all qle5-
tions relating thereto, Is doing much TO
rescue the national honor and prestige
from the humiliation brought upon il
through the weakness and incapacity of
Democratic policy.
We are in favor Of the immediate an
nexatiOn Of the Hawaiian islands, not
only as an absolute military necessity, but
as the fruition Of one Of the noblest as
pirations of long line of our greatest
statesmen, and because such annexation
would be of unquestioned advantage to
the American people.
We believe the national honor and the
material interests of the American people
require the maintenance of the present
gold standard. We declare our unalter-
able opposition to the free coinage of
silver, and all schemes looking TO the de-
basement of the currency and the repudi-
alton of debts. We condemn the CON
tinual agitation of free silver as tending to
debauch the public morals and jeopardize
the prosperity of the country, the highest
interests of which demand at all times a
sound and stable financial system.
The War With Spain.
We desire to especially commend the
wisdom and patriotism of the present ad-
ministration in the management Of the
existing war between this country and
Spain, a war which appeals to the patriot
ism of every citizen in that it is being
prosecuted in the interest of humanity
and for no selfish ends whatever To the
lied and the war brought to an early ter
mination, we pledge all moral and mate
rial support in our power.
To our representatives in congress from
this state we return our sincere thanks
for their thorough devotion to duty and
their efficient support of the government
in this important crisis.
Believing in the great value Of the pro-
posed Nicaragua canala as an international
highway and it's need for commercial ex.
tension and national defense, and that it
ought to be controlled and operated by
the government, we earnestly commend
the project to the consideration of our
representatives in congress.
To Governor Clough and to all members
of the present state administration, for
their fidelity to duty and efficiency in the
public service, we express our obligations.
We return thanks to Senator Nelson for
his interchangeable interest in behalf of the
national bankrupt law, great public
need, and congratulate him on the success
which has crowned his efforts in this and
all other matters of national concern.
Senator Davis a Favorite.
