EATING AND SLEEPING.

Food supplies the substance for repair
ing the wastes of the body, and gives
strength. Sleep affords the opportunity
for these repairs to be made. Both are
necessary to health. If you can't eat and
sleep, take Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t
creates a good appetite and tones the
digestive organs, and it gives the sweet,
restful sleep of childhood. Be sure to
get Hoods.

MONROE DOCTRINE.

The doctrine enunciated by Monroe, and
approved by succeeding presidents, is
essential to the welfare of the United
States. The continents of North and
South America are dedicated to the de-
velopment of free government. One re-
public after another has been established,
until today the monarchial idea has barely
a foCthold in the new world.
While it is not the policy of this coun-
try to interfere where amicable relations
exist between European countries and
their dependencies in America, our peo-
pie would look with disfavor upon any at
tempt on the part of European govern
ments to maintain an unwilling or forci-
bic sovereignty over the people living on
this side of the Atlantic.
The position taken by the Republican
leaders, and more recently set forth by
the Republican candidate for the Presi-
dency, viz: That we cannot protect a
nation from outside interference without
exercising sovereignty over it's people, is
an assault upon the Monroe doctrine, for
while this argument is at this time di-
rected against the proposition to give
to the Fiipinos' both independence and
protection, tits equally applicable to the
Republics of Central and South America.
If this government cannot lend It's
strength to another republic without
making subjects of its people, then we
must either withdraw our protection

FOREIGN ALLIANCES.

The reasons given by Washington, JEFF
ferson, and the other statesmen of the
early days ia support of the doctrine that
we should maintain friendly relations
with all nations, but enter into entang-
ling alliances with, none are even stron-
ger today than they were a hundred
years ago. Our commerce is rapidly
increasing, and we are brought into con-
slant communication with all parts of
the world. Even if we desired to do
so, we could not afford to ALLEVIATE many
nations +, by cultivating unnecessary in
timacy with few. Our strength and
standing are such that it is less neces-
sary than ever before to lean for aid
upon the friendliness of a foreign pow
er.
We cannot connect ourselves with
European nations, and share in their jeal-
ousies and ambitions without losing the
peculiar advantage, which our location,
our character and our institutions give
us in the worlds affai rs.

from the republics to the south of us or
absorb them. Under the same plea, that
the guardian nation must exert ain au-
thority equal to it's responsibility, Euro
pean nations have for centuries exploited
their wards, and it is a significant fact
that the Republican party should accept
the European idea of protectorate, at
tae same time that it adopts a European
colonial policy. There is no excuse for
this abandonment of the American idea.
We have maintained the Monroe doctrine
for quarters of a century. The ex-
pense to us has been practically nothing,
but the protection has been beyond value
to our sister republics. If a Filipino Re-
public is erected upon the ruins of Span
ish tyranny, its protection by us will be
neither difficult nor expensive. No Euro
pean nation would be willing for any
other European nation to have the is
lands, neither would any European ma
tion be willing to provoke a war with us
in order to obtain possession of the
islands. If we assert sovereignty over
the Filipinos we will have to defend that
sovereignty by force, and the Filipinos
will be our enemies; if we protect them
from outside interference, they will de-
fend themselves and will be our friends.
If they show as much determination in
opposing the sovereignty of other nations
as they have shown in opposing our
sovereignty, they will not require much
assistance from us.

FXTRAVAGANCE,


The Republican party, drawing as it
does enormous campaign funds from those
who enjoy special privileges at the hands
of the government, is powerless to pro-
tect the tax payers from the attack Of
those who profit by large appropriations.
A surplus in the treasury offers constant
temptations to extravaganza, and eXtray-
agance, in turn compels a resort to new
means Of taxation, which, being kept
in the background until the campaign
is over, is fair illustration of the i'm
position which will be attempted when
there is a considerable amount of money
idle in the treasury. The rehabilitation
of the merchant marine, laudable in 1t
self, is made the pretext for expenditure
of public money for the benefit of large
ship owners, and in the interests of a
transportation monopoly The govern
ment being only the agent of the people,
has no right to collect from the people
taxes beyond the legitimate needs of a
government honestly and effectively ad-
ministered, and public servants should
exercise the same degree of care in the
use of the peoples money that private
individuals do in the use of their own
money With q restoration of a foreign
policy consistent with American ideas
there can be an immediate and large re-
duction in the burdens now borne by
the people.

RECLAMATION OF ARID LANDS.

The time is ripe for a systematic and
extended effort to reclaim the arid

The last agricultural report estimates
that homes can thus be provided for
many millions of people. The impound-
ing and use of the waters which are
wasted in the spring would people the
Western States with thrifty, intelligent,
and industrious citizens, and these would
furnish a valuable market for all the pro-
ducts of the factories A small percent

PENSIONS.

The party expresses its pride in the
soldiers and sailors of all our wars. and
declares its purpose to deal generously
with them and their dependents. A lib
eral policy is natural and necessary in a
government which depends upon a citizeA
soldiery, instead of large standing
army. Self-interest as well as gratitude,
compels the Government to make bounti-
full provision for those who. in the hour
of danger, and at great sacrifice of bust
ness, health and life. tender their SER
vices to their country.
The pension laws should be construed
according to the generous spirit which
prompted their passage. The platform
very properly reiterates the position taken
in 1896, that the fact Of enlistment shall
be deemed conclusive evidence that the
soldier was sound when the Government
accepted him. certificate given now

BY inadvertence the Income Tax plank
agreed upcx aNthe Resolutions commit
tee, was omitted from the platform as
read and adopted. The subject, however,
is covered by the reafirmation of the
Chicago platform. and / take this coca
sion to reassert my belief in the princi
pie which underlies the income tax. Con-
gress should have authority to levy and
collect an income tax whenever neces-
sary. and an amendment to the Federal
Constitution specifically comforting such
adthcrity ought to be supported by even
these VITO may think the tax unneces-
sary, at this time. In the hour of danger
the government can draft the citizen; it
ought to be able to draft the pocket
book as we'll. Unless money is more
precious than blood, we cannot afford to
give greater protection to the incomes
of the rich than to the lives of the poor.
IMPERIALISM.
The subjects, however, treated in this
letter, important as each may seem IN it
self, do not press so imperatively- for
solution as the question which the plat
form declares to be the paramount issue
in this campaign. Whether we shall adj
here to, or abandon those ideas of gov
eminent which have distinguished this
nation from other nations and given to
its history it's peculiar charm and value,
is q question the settlement of which
cannot be delayed. No other question
can approach it in importance; no other
question demands such immediate con-
sideration. 1t is easier to lose a reputa-
ton than to establish one, and this liz
tion would find it a long and laborious
task to regain it's proud position among
the nations, if, under the stress of temp
tation, it should repudiate the self-evi
dent truths proclaimed by our hereof
ancestors and sacredly treasured during
career unparalleled in the annals q
time. When the doctrine that the people
are the only source of power is made Sc
cure from further attack we can safely
proceed to the settlement of the numer-
Gus questions which involve the domestic
and economic welfare of our citizens.

THE BLACKLIST.

The blacklist as now employed in some
places enables the employer to place
the employee under practical duress, for
the skilled laborer loses his independence
when the employers can not only dis
charge him, but prevent his securing
any similar employment. The blacklist
enables employers to secure, by mutual
agreement, that control over the wage
earners which a private monopoly eXer-
cises without contract.

The recognition contained in both the

removes the general principle involved
from the domain of partisan politics. 1t
is proper, however, to consider whether
the accomplishment of this purpose can
be safely entrusted to the Republican
party after it has yielded to the allure
ments of the Colonial idea, and abandon

diameter, and made of four thicknesses
of buffalo rawhide sewed together with
leather strips. There are twelve cir
Giles of these leather strips. The outer
hide is ewed only through half of the
hide, making the stitches Invisible.
There are two iron staples In the
shield for arm pieces. These are we'll
