merce without lowering the high stand
ard Of living of the wage earners and
producers Of the United States. We
favor a revision of tariff schedules to
meet the changed and changing condi-
lions. and insist that such revision
shall be made by the friends of our
excellent fiscal system.
We revert with just enthusiasm e
the success of the Republican policy in
dealing with foreign nations. The dip
lomatic history of the administrations
Of Mckinley and Roosevelt has no par
allel. Through the achievements of
these patriotic Republican executives,
from the liberation of Cuba and the
pacification Of the Philippines to the
| open door in the Orient, the great
American nation has won victories in
war and in peace which have brought
| lasting benefits to humanity and opened
the worlds markets to our commerce.
