We denounce the insidious efforts of those who pretend, after fifteen months of silence, to find in treaty arrangements and in international conventions for peaceful arbitration, | grounds for direct interference with | the affairs of Kuropean nations by this country. For the violation of the rights of our citizens as incidents of the war, one of the two alternatives is presented for their redress and prevention in the future—war Or ne- gotiations and we believe our people will uphold the policy of negotiation, even if somewhat prolonged, rather than resort to the arbitrament of arms. In dealing with foreign affairs the Administration is not Democratic or Republican, but represents all the people, and should be upheld by all the people. We, as citizens, and not partisans, commend the Adminis- tration for i course in seeking re: dress of grievances by peaceful means rather than by war, and thereby pre- serving the vouth and manhood of our country from the mutilation and death that is now destroying the man- hood of Europe Upholds Course in Mexico, Mexico: Our relations with the re- publics of Central and South America are upon a different basis.

He has asserted the rights of our citizens and preserved the honor and dignity of our country, and we believe that the hest interests of all the people demand his continuance in | his high office. The two principal pledges of the Democratic Party were for reform of our banking and currency system and | for a reduction of the tariff. For years the enlightened judgment of the coun- try had recognized the need of reform in our national banking and currency system in order to meet the growth of the country and to secure the stability | of the financial world. Year after year the Republican Party had pledged it- | self to bring about these remedial re- forms and vear after year, obedient to | the selfish interests which controlled | for their own benefit the currency of the country, it had repudiated the promises thus solemnly made. It remained for a Democratic Ad- ministration to give to the country true currency reform. Through the passage of the Federal Reserve Cur- rency act 1t has stabilized the financial bhusines of the country, has stayved financial panics, and has facilitated | the great industrial activity of the | | country. | While our present prosperity has in a measure been stimulated by ex- ternal causes the reat change: tendir to make the United first f ncial world power catly impe without the the currency part by any Buropean was | | or. now ites the would | o he od oh- cted forded by and i a law intages _af- N \\\\\\\X{\\\ Approves Tariff Commission *\\\\\\\ 3 Ifor more than a quarter of a cen- | tury the people of the country had | | demanded a revision of the system | of tariff taxes 1stment of the rates manner that while suffcient reve- | nue for the support of Government ! might be obtained, industrial progress should no longer be checked by the payment of heavy tribute to favorite | interests, i For mnearly that entire period the Republican Party had at their Na- | tional Conventions and in their party | platforms regularly promised a re- duction of the tariff, and as regularly broken such promises. The Democratic Party has the tariff system, has reduced the rates of duty for the benefit of the | veople, and has effectually destroyed that system of class interests, favorit- | ism and greed which flourished under | the Republican Administration.
