At the same time he la the only hope of the sound money cause. If free silver is to be defeated at the polls It must be by the election of the Republican ticket.

If they should be numerous they might be Indirectly the moan of hrlnglng about the success Of silver at the polls. Will the sound-money IVmocrata meet the situation as tho free-silver Republicans are doing?. Mr. Toller Is a protectionist, while Mr. Uryan U a low tariff man.

This true Am.-rlcan policy 'axes foreign pro ducts and encourasies h one Industry; It puts the burden of revenue on for- -Ign goods. It s-cures the American market for the American producer; II upholds the American standard of wages for the American worklngmen; lt puts the factory by the side of the fnrm, and makes the American farmer less de-ndent on foreign demand and price; it diffuses general thrift and founds the streng'h of all on the strength of each. In Its reasonable ap plication It Is Just. fair, and Impartial, etjunlly opposed to foreign control and domestic monopoly, to seetionsl dis crimination and Individual favoritism. We denounce the present I emo ratlc tarirf as reetional. Injurious to the pub lic credit and destructive lo business enterprise. We demand such equitable tari.T on foreign impoits which come Into competition with American pro ducts as will not only furnish adequate rev-tnie for the n.-eeniotry expenses of th- government, but will protect Amer ican labor from degredatlnn to the w age l.-v, 1 of other lands We are imt pledged to any particular schedules. The tiuestlnn of rates Is a practleul question, to be governed by the condi tions of th- time and production; the ruling and uncompromising principle ! the protection utid development of American labor and Industry. The country demands a right settlement and then it wants r-st. Iti'ciiriiciiy Willi oilier Na:inn We belb ve the repeal of the reci procity arr.ingeine nta negotiated by the lust Republican administration was a national calamity, and we tbmantl th-lr r-newnl and extension on such terms as will equalize our trade with tiller nations, remove the restrictions which now obstruct the sale of Amer ican products In th.. ports of other countries and secure the enlarged mnr kets of our farms, forests and factories Protection nnd n-dprnclty are twin measures of Republican policy, and go hand In hand. T'emocrntlc rule hail recklessly struck down both, and both must be re-established. Protection for what we produce, free admission for the necessaries of life which we don't produce, reciprocal agreements of mu tual Interest which gain open markets for us In return for our open market to others. Protection builds up domestic industry and trade and secures our ow n market for ourselves. Reciprocity builds up foreign trade and Ilnds an outlet for our surplus. Protection to SuHr Producers. We condemn the present administra tion for not keeping faith with the sugar producers of this country. The Republican party favors such protec tion as will lead to the production on American soli of all the sugar th American people use, and for which they pay other countries more than I1W,000,000 annually. Wool and Woolens. To all our products to those of the mine and the field, as well as to those of the shop and the factory to hemp to wool, the product of the great Indus try of sheep husbandry, as well as to the finished woolens of the mill we promise the most ample protection.

We denounce the pracilcsf of the pension bureau so recklessly and unjustly carried on by tiie preaent administration, of reducing pensions nd arbitrarily dropping names from the mils, as deserving the severest Condemnation of Ihe American people. Foreign Helatlnns. Our foreign policy should I at all time firm, vigorous and dignified, and all uur Interests In Ihe western hemis phere carefully watched and guarded. The Hawaiian Islands should be con trolled by the l'nlte.1 Htates and no for eign power should be permltetd In In terfere with them. The Nicaragua Canal should be built, owned and op erated by Ihe I'nltrd Wales, and by the purchase of the (Mulsh Islands we should cure, a proper and much-need-ed naval station In the West Indies Armenian Maawx. The massacres In Armenia have aroused the tleep sympathy and Just Indignation of the American people, and we believe that the Culled Htates should exercise all the Influence It can properly exert to bring these nlroellles to an end. In Turkey, American resi dents have been exposed to the gravest dangers and American property de stroyed. There and everywhere Amer ican cltliens and American properly must be absolutely protected at all , hazards and at any cost. Monroe Idu'trine. We reassert the Monroe doctrine In lis full extent and reafllrm the right of the t'liultetl Htates to give tho doctrine effect by responding to the appeals of any American state for friendly Inter vention In man of Kuropean encroach ment. We have not Interfered, and shall not Interfere, with the existing possessions of any Muropeiin power in tills hemisphere, but those possessions must not. on any pretext, be extended. We hopefully look forward to the eventual withdrawal of the Kuropean powers from this hemisphere, und the ultimate union of all the Kngllah speaking part of Ihe continent by the free consent of Its Inhabitants. Inileienience of CiiIih. From the hour of achieving their own Independence the pooplo of Ihe United StatcB have regarded with sympathy the struggles of other American peoples to free themselves from European dom ination. We watch with deep nnd abid ing Interest the heroic battle of the Cu bnn patriots against cruelty nnd op pression, and our best hopes go out for the full success of their determined con test for liberty. The government nf Spain, having lost control of Cuba and being unable to protect the property or Uvea of resi dent American citizens or to comply with lis treaty ohllgatlones, we believe that the government of the United States should actively use Its Influence and good offices to restore peace and give independence to the Island. Enlargement of Ihe Navy.
