LOUIS Unton News Company, Union Depot, WASHINGTON, I. C.-Kiggs House and Ebbitt Il0tM. The bill to smash industries and protect trusts is now in the hands of a conference committee. After all. Debs was not a bigger man than the Fourth of July, as thousands of celebrations proved. Providence furnished a day so perfect yesterday that Debs could only dim it a little about the edges. The Sentinel is nearing that state of agitation in which it once said of the Supreme Court of Indiana, "D n their cowardly souls." Much personal hatred of Governor Matthews hath driven the editor of the Sentinel mad. lie no longer knows where he is at on any public question. Debs stopped thousands of people from coming to Indianapolis yesterday to see the attractions, particularly those who were Inteiested in the veteran picnic. Thousands of homes in Indianapolis were decorated with rational colors yesterday, pome profusely, and all in that spirit of patriotism which means first obedience to law. The total ptjbli" debt on July 1 was $S99,S13.3S1, against $S2S.969,t76 on July 1. 1S93, an Increase during the year of more than $60,OOO.ftM. Was this what the people voted for in 1SD2? It is but just to say that some of the few readers of the morning Anarchist, formerly known as the Sentinel, are respectable, lawabiding people, and are nowise in sympathy with the inflammatory utterances Of that sheet. Americans are a tolerant ar.d long-suffef-Ing people. In any other country the appearance of an incendiary article like that in the Sentinel yesterday would have been followed by the casting of the writer Into jail before night. Tammany levies blackmail on the business of New York and the Democratic tariff tinkers levy blackmail on the business of the country. One exempts its special favorites and the other exempts the trusts. "Where is the difference? There is no great loss without some small gain; if Debs and the lawlessness which that rers-on has inspired are the cause of much lo.s, they afforded texts for a good deal of talk which will last much longer than the average Fourth of July oration. An Ea-stern mugwump organ remarks that "a curious fact about the Illinois Democratic convention was that Governor Altgeld received a more emphatic indorsement than President Cleveland." That as necessary in order to insure the nomination of a mugwump for United States Senator. It is not often that a public man strikes a keynote more distinctly than Senator Davis, of Minnesota, did in his stirring and patriotic reply to a request that he would vote to encourage lawlessness. He will be remembered for that ringing telegram as General Dix was for his famous "If any man attempts to haul down the American flag, shoot him on th? spot." Thirty years ago the stars and stripes was the emblem which stood for the authority of the federal government and for the establishment of freedom and law throughout the land. It was displayed from more thousands of homes yesterday than ever before on Independence day to proclaim that more people believe in the social order of which it is the trade mark. The strike has been well handled in this city. It is true the situation has not been very serious or threatening, but it has been puthciently so to require thorough preparation and vigilant care on the part of the authorities, and these have not been lacking. On no previous occasion when violence h.is been threatened or apprehended has the situation been so capably handled. Debs and his followers would like to have the public lelieve that they believe there are not enough men to take their places and d their work in the railway service. Ferhips this is true, but if Debs and his A. E. 1. would step off the right of way and go fishing for a few days the truth or falsity of the statement would be made plain. If Dobs and his organization will do this, and men to do their work do not appear, the railway managers will be very glal to recall the fishermen. Dictator Debs is reported as saying that a settlement of the strike on a basis satisfactory to all concerned will be made by Saturday. If this means that the railroad managers are going to back down or yield anything to the demands of the strikers It will be a most unsatisfactory conclusion of the controversy. It will be a great misfortune for the country if the present strike is ended without a dciinlte settlement of the Question whether organized bodies cf men can tie up r;uii '

travel and traffic and Inflict irreparable damage on business with impunity. Those who have done this thing have perpetrated a great outrage on the public, and the railroad managers have no right to condone or compromise it. There will never be a better tim than the present to settle the question whether the entire people are greater than a class, and whether we have a government of law or a mobocracy. There should be no compromise with Debsism.

si ccessfh, fixaxciehixg. While in New Y'ork. last week. Controller Trusler placed the last bond3 of the city which will fall due for a year, thus closing one of the most successful negotiations of the city's securities to be found in its records. During his predecessor, due largely to the plotting of men in his own party, failed to complete the negotiation of a $021,000 loan at 4 per cent. The matter drifted along until April, 1S03, when bids were called for a 4 per cent. loan. to redeem $$21,000 7.20 bonds maturing July 1. When the bids were opened it was found that It would be much better to place the bonds at 42 per cent. Consequently, none of the bids were accepted, a proposal for a 4 per cent, bond was briefly advertised, and the bid of Stanton & Collin accepted. Upon the deposit of a certified check with Mr. Frenzel for $31,000, the contract was made and the bonds were prepared. The bidders found that they could not sell the securities, but they found a pretext which the court held sufficient for the return of the check to the bankers, so that what was an asset in ihe last report of ex-Controller Woollen became a bill of costs In the United States court. When the Sullivan regime went out $C00,000 of the bonds of the city had 'been in default nearly four months, and over $100,000 more were due early in the year. After some negotiation, a New Y'ork financial house consented to induce the holders of the city's overdue and defaulted 7.30 bonds to carry them along a year at some cost to the city. Financial papers In Xew Y'ork had heralded the default of the city of Indianapolis to the world of investors, and those timid lenders who purchase municipal securities had written against this city the ominous words "in default," which to them is little better than "repudiated." When Mayor Denny and Controller Trusler came in, the prospect for placing $600,000 of defaulted bonds and $K9,000 soon due was dubious. In the money markets the Controller was met with the report of smirched credit. So opposed to having the city get rid of paying 7.3 per cent, interest were some persons tn the city that they wrote anonymous articles to New York financial papers of a very pessimistic tone. The Controller was urged to advertise a 43 per cent. bond, on the ground that such a bond, having once failed, it would be Impossible to sell one at a lower rate of interest. Not accepting this advice. Controller Trusler advertised for bids for refunding $109,500 7.30s falling due, at 4 per cent. These were taken by an Indianapolis house at par. He then asked for proposals for the $600,000 of overdue bonds, and a home house negotiated them, paying $10,187.50 premium. There then remained the $.W),000 which fell due July 1. These were sold in New Y'ork at a premium of $9,930. Thus Controller Trusler has sold $l,ft:o,3 of 4 per cent, bonds for $1,023,617.50, or $20,117.50 more than their face. If he had adopted the advice of many friends, he would have put a 'z per cent, bond on the market; the annual interest on $1,003,500 would be $5,047.5) more than on the bonds sold, which, for thirty years, without counting interest, would amount to $151,425. Ir this saving of $5,017.50 a year were made a sinking fund and invested, it would go quite a ways toward redeeming the 4 per cents, when they shall fall due. By the transaction the annual interest account of the city has been reduced from $73,693.50 to 110,380 or $33,331.50. The negotiation now completed so successfully in the face of so many serious obstacles is one upon which the Controller may be sincerely congratulated by the taxpayers and those interested in the financial standing of Indianapolis. Di'.iis as a legislator. Dictator Debs was a member of the Indiana Legislature of 1SS5, elected as a Democrat and workingmen's candidate from Terre Haute, lie wanted to be chairman of the committee on railroads, but failed to get that position. He was, however, made a member of the committee and chairman of the committee on corporations. He is remembered as a fussy member, remarkable more for his activity in trying to stir things up than for any achievement. As the Democratic member from Vigo county he was assigned by the Democratic caucus to the duty of placing Senator Voorhees in nomination for reelection. Ills speech on this occasion was highly eulogistic of Mr. Voorhees, who seemed to be Debs's beau Ideal of a statesman. Following is an extract: It cannot be expected that the people, however intelligent and sincere, will always secure for places of great responslbilltv men distinguished for talent, , energy, courage and virtue, tvit such great and Rood fortune Is often bestowed, and when obtained the people, if qualified to appreciate the blessing, will unite in a patriotic, determination to perpetuate It. In the month of November. 1S77. James D. Williams, then Governor of Indiana, appointed Daniel W. Voorhees as the successor of Oliver P. Morton, deceased, to represent Indiana in th United States Senate. The name and fame of Morton had filled the land. His great abilities had made him the leader of his party in the Senate. It was thought to bo no ordlnarv responsibilitv to occupy the place made vacant by the death of Morton. It was doeme.l a herculean task to maintain the advanced position of the State, which the admirers of Mr. Morton claimed was due to his masterlv powers, but. sir. I do but roeat the truth of history when I siv that, as soon as opportunity offered. Mr. Voorhees came to the front in a speech wh'ch ejeotrinctl the Nation by the profundity of its statesmanship, the majesty of Its grasp and the overwhelming power of its arguments and eloquence. There was a good deal more of this fulsome eulogy, and Mr. Voorhees was represented as the embodiment of all public and political virtues. The speech was not as flowery as the celebrated effort of Hon. J. II. Wlllard in nominating Voorhees on a later occasion, but the orator soared as hih as his wings would carry him. He reached terra flrma safely and remained there during the rest of the session, posing as a workingman and voting with the Democrats. A biographical sketch of him which has been going the rounds says "While in the Indiana Legislature he secured the cassase of several laws in the

Interest of labor." This Is not true. The only acts passed by the legislature of 1SS5 affecting labor were one amending the mechanics' lien law and one requiring corporations to pay their employes monthly, and the record does not show that 'Debs had anything to do with either of these acts except to vote for them. m Debs was a workingman once, but he had been in- politics for some years before bis election to the Legislature, serving as city clerk of Terre Haute, and since that time he has been employed as editor of a monthly publication in the dissemination of labor literature and in working up new organizations. In short, he has not been a workingman In the common acceptation of the term for nearly fifteen years rast, having been for that length of time a politician, officeholder and agitator.

A Hl.MILIATIil) STATKSMAX. The attitude in which Senator Allen has been placed before the country by the Democratic Senators who secured his vote for the sugar schedule and the whisky tax makes him an object of general ridicule. For weeks the champions of the Whisky and Sugar trusts dickered with him for his support. The tariff debate was delayed because Allen "wanted the earth," but the earth Allen would have, so they permitted him to' Introduce amendments putting planed as well as sawed lumber and barbed wire upon the free list when the bill was in committee of the whole. This done, the Populist Senator was as solid for the trusts as Gorman, Brice or Voorhees. Tw) cents a pound added to the price of sugar, or more than a dollar a head for each of "my people," meaning the inhabitants of Nebraska, was of no account compared with the honor and power he would derive from advertising himself as the Senator who wrested free planed lumber and free barbed wire from the hundreds of thousands of American citizens engaged in these industries, whereby a few farmers might pay a little less for Canadfan lumber and British fence wire. When the bill got to the Senate Mr. Allen, when his name was called, first led the Democratic column as it imposed the burden of the Sugar Trust uton the people and transferred the tax on whisky into the pockets of the "millionaire monopolists" who control the production of spirits. These safe, a separate vote was called upon Mr. Allen's free fence wire, which had been adopted , in committee of the whole. When the roll was called Mr. Allen led off, but, to his amazement, the Democratic host did not follow in solid phalanx, but a third of them or more voted with the Republicans, and the Allen amendment was defeated and the vision of the Allen glory vanished. The duty proposed by the finance committee on barbed wire stood. To say that statesman Allen was angry Is an inadequate description of the Senator's condition. He was furious, beside himself with rage as he beat the air with his long arms and tore It . th his thunderous anathemas upon the Democrats who had tricked him before the country. He demanded explanation, and was blandjy ,told that his barbed-wire amendment! diad' hot been sanctioned by the Democrats of the finance committee, and for that reason Democrats were under no obligation , to ote for it. "But did you not vote for it in committee?" he shouted. They had, but at that stage of the game they had not dove-tailed the sugar schedule and the whisky tax into the bill, and wanted the Allen and Kyle votes. The services of the Populist Senators no longer needed. Senator Allen was shown how egregiously, he had been tricked. While he shouted in rage the Senators who had tricked him' smiled i and the Republicans jeered. And now the people have the Sugar Trust burden to carry because two men who have been anathematizing monopolists as a business voted for It. Kven to the last, when it was possible to kill the whole bill, Allen and Kyle sustained the measure. It will be a long time before the green-goods game which Brice, Gorman and Voorhees played uion Allen will be forgotten. AX A.VAItCIHSTIC YAYVI The Sentinel's chronic hostility to the enforcement of law and hatred of the judiciary has broken out again. It is never dormant for a great length of time. A few years ago. when the Supreme Court rendered a decision in a quasi-political case contrary to its wishes, it attacked the court in an editorial of which "Damn their cowardly souls" was the first sentence and keynote. When a movement was started for the pavdon of the Chicago Anarchists it said editorially: The men who were hanged and the men now in the Illinois penitentiary for the Haymarket crime were the victims of the most flagrant judicial outrage in the annals of this "RepubMc. It was the mob spirit that convicted them. It was a jury of cowards ami lickspittles that brought in the verdict. It had not a word of approval for Gov. Matthews in calling out the militia to suppress violence during the recent coal-miners' strike,. but it declared that "the people of Indiana have no occasion for self-glorification in the suppression of these troubles by armed force." The latest outbreak of this apologist for lawdessness and defender of anarchy is directed against the judiciary. "In the present disturbed condition of affairs," It says, "federal judges seem to be running a race to see which of them can best serve the interest of corporations whose employes are engaged in a strike fcr what they seem to believe honestly is their due." The specifications under this charge are that Judge Woods recently went from this city to Chicago to add the weight of his decision to that of the district judge in a question of vital Importance growing out of the strike, and that Judge Baker has expressed himself off the bench In regard to the possibility of a certain construction of the law. For these acts the judges are virtually charged with corruption in favoring corporations at the expense of individuals and the rich at the expense of the poor. "It is such conduct on the part of the judiciary," says the Sentinel, "such fawning and cringing before the great corporate interests of the country that is weakening its' Influence with the masses, lime was when the courts were the rejuge of the poor and oppressed. Time now is when, in a conflict between the oppressor and the oppressed. Judgment for the f-tmer is rendered In ad

vance." Nothing more Incendiary tnan this has appeared In any American newspaper unless It may be In some Anarchist organ that does not come under the Journal's notice. It breathes the very spirit that shouted "Damn their cowardly souls" at the Supreme Court, and whlcn denounced the Jurors that convicted the Chicago Anarchists as "cowards and lickspittles." Intelligent men will not be deceived by this attack upon the judiciary. The pretense that It is in the interest of a pure administration of law is false. It is in the Interest of lawlessness. Judge Woods went to Chicago because his presence there was demanded by a grave public crisis, and his going was no indication of how he would decide the pending motion. Judge Baker's remark's were In the interest of law and order and in the line of judicial precedents. Their action and that of the federal Judiciary generally should be commended rather than condemned, and no doubt it is by all except sympathizers with lawlessness and anarchy. If the Sentinel really must work off its venom on somebody it should attack the administration at Washington. Every phase of the present strike has been made the subject of Cabinet discussion. Whatever may be said of Attorney-general Olney nobody denies that he is a good lawyer. Secretary Gresham is an ex-judge and the President himself Is a lawyer oy profession. He and his Cabinet are a unit In regard to the legal aspects of the case. The Attorney-general has been in close communication with district attorneys and marshals, and while it is not to be supposed that there has been any attempt to dictate the action of courts. It is evident there is a perfect understanding between them and the executive branch of the government. Not a step has been taken by any of the federal authorities that has not been practically dictated by Mr. Cleveland and his Cabinet, When the Sentinel attacks the judiciary it attacks the administration, which, for the time being, is the government.

In the recent swallowing of the Memphis Appeal-Avalanche by the Memphis Commercial there was necessarily a considerable shifting about of the attaches of the two papers, but it will gratify the many Indianapolis friends of Mr. G. C. Matthews, managing editor of the Appeal-Avalanche, to learn that he will hold the same position on the new paper. Mr. Matthews's long experience has made mm so accomplished and valuable a newspaper man and has given him so secure a standing that the consolidated paper cannot well afford to do without his services. The new journalistic combination will be known as the Commercial-Appeal, whlcu. In the way of double-headed monstrosities, is even a trl2e worse than the Globe-Democrat. Mr. Robert Groff writes the Journal that he never pledged himself in any of his numerous canvass speeches to stand by the nomination, and that he will undertake to prove those guilty of perjury who will so affirm. The Journal can do what it has said in that matter, but if Mr. Groff desires to have it understood that he was most assiduous In going to Republican club meetings and asking support while making a mental reservation not to support a nomination which was as fairly made as that of Mr. Shilling the Journal cannot object. The Journal was correct in saying that the law does not prescribe any dimensions for the American flag. The army regulation on the subject is official so far as that goes, and binding on the army as long as it is In force, but it is not in the laws, and can be changed without an act of Congress. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: In speaking to one In this country would It be proper to say "I will bring this parcel to England" or "I will take this parcel to England?" Would not either be correct, and why? SUBSCRIBER. "I will take this parcel to England" is correct. The reason why "bring" is not permissible is set forth clearly in the following excerpt from Richard Grant White's "Words and Their Uses": "Bring expresses motion toward, not away. A boy is properly told to take his books to school, and to bring them home. But at school he may correctly say, T did not bring my books." Fetch expresses a double motion first from and then toward the speaker. Thus a gardener may say to his helper, 'Go and bring me yonder rake;' but he might better say Fetch me yonder rake. I. e., go and bring it. And so we find in our English Bible (Acts xxviii, 13), 'And from thence we fetched a compass;' 1. e., we went out, around and back, making a circuit. The distinction between bring and fetch is very sharply drawn In the following passage (I Kings xvii, 11): "And as she was going to fetch it he called to her and said, bring me. I pray thee, a morsel of bread.' From the usage of these words there is no justifiable variation." I1LI111LUS IX TIIK AIIU The Sneer of a Plutocrat. "Have. any luck fishing?" "Yes, indeed.

The strikers are afraid to take their cases to the courts, but the courts may get hold of them all the same. New York Advertiser. People in general deserve inconvenience as long as Xh?.y lazily abstain from all care of public interests until a strike occurs. Northwestern Christian Advocate. The tie-up of the Western railroads means decreased earnings for the railroads in every direction ar.d less work for railroad men. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. If Sara Jones and his family are in a row, why, on this account, should every other family in the city get one another by the ears? Iet the Jones crowd fight it out, a'ld let th? rest of us mind our own business. Western Christian Advocate. There are many things that should be reformed in this land. But the first thing that has to be done, in order to gain that reform, is to mike it plain that no man or set of men can seize the power to oppress this country by paralyzing ltd Industries or nullifying its laws. Pittsburg Dispatch. The present strike must fall, because it is at war with the laws of both State and "Union; because It assails the unquestioned right of citizens to be employed

when they shall choose to accept labor, and because it unsettles the whole travel and commerce of the continent. Philadelphia Times. If law and order and common sense are to triumph, as assuredly they must, the .American -Railway Union may continue to exist, as no one objects to Its existence on rational and conservative lines, but the machinery which it has set up for the intimidation of capital, the terrorization of the country and even defiance of the authority of the government will have to be abandoned. Washington Post. The highest function of goverinment is to protect the Innocent from the guilty; and every man who attempts to Interrupt public traffic and locomotion as a means of redressing his private grievances is a public enemy and an Anarchist, and should be treated accordingly. This Is a simple and fundamental principle, without which personal libertv and free government could not exist. Philadelphia Record. The law should not be too nice or particular in drawing an indictment against such a wholesale scoundrel as this fellow Debs. It should find a ready, certain way to bring him to book, and to make an example of him such as would deter all of his sort from defying the public, setting the law aside and bringing disgrace upon organized labor. Such knaves should be whipped at the cart's tail. Philadelphia Telegraph. The men of the American Railway Union and their sympathizers are assailing their dearest rights, and they, too, will know it, although with them it may be when it is too late. By their disorderly appeal to force, however meritorious their cause, tae strike at the liberty which is their enly safeguard against injustice. However important it may be to them to crush Pullman. It is not worth the sacrifice they are making. Detroit Tribune. TIIK IXDIAXA PllESS.

The cause that requires the breaking of the laws. Is not a good one. Warsaw Times. The consensus of public opinion is that the strike of the railroad men now on is 111 advised, irrational and senseless. CrawfordsvUle Journal. The first duty of the hour is to re-establish the reign of the law and the authority of the government formed by the whole people. Kushville Republican. Of all the silly strikes on record, the sympathetic strike is the worst. The late miners strike and the present Pullman strike are two of a kind. Grcencastle Banner-Times. By striking at this time the men will use up what savings they have, and when business improves and the Pullman company lestores wages these men will not "be in it." Evansville Standard. This country can never be free as long as any class is powerful enough to violate its laws, and a government that is not strong enough to control the people is no government. Marion Chronicle. Some people claim that the strike now on hands Is a strike between capital and labor. The only arswer to such a declaration is that it is not true. It is a strike between law and anarchy, and laiA." must prevail. Muncie Times. The remark of Debs that failure of the strike he has inaugurated would mean the destruction of labor organizations Is nothing but the mouthing of a demagogue. He is himself doing more to disrupt organized labor than all other causes combined. New Albany Tribune. 'How any body of American workingmen can voluntarily surrender their self-control and the control of their business affairs to a single individual, even if he be a man of sound judgment, which Debs Is not, is the most inexplicable problem of the times. Richmond Palladium. Organized labor should be encouraged so long as It obeys the law and respects the rights of others; but anarchy is as much the enemy of civilization when it comes from organization and deliberation, as from the spontaneous bitterness of a depraved and disorganized mob. Richmond Item. Strikes cost each side more than it is possible for either to gain, and hence in a purely business view they should cease. Let courts of arbitration be established which shall hear evidence and decide between the employer and the "employe, and let such decision be made final. Richmond Independent. The position of the Pullman strikers is that the right exists to force action of that kind for the benefit of employes, and that the consideration of profit or loss to the employer has nothing to do A-ith the case. A strike based upon the contention that an employer is bound to do business whether he wants to or not Is certainly a novelty, to say the least. Shelby Republican. A. G. Fosdyke, representing Attorneygeneral Green Smith, has collected all the funds due the State from township and school trustees in Wabash county under the recent Supreme Court decision. The officials reluctantly paid it over, but there was no alternative. It is stated that the amount of Smith's haul in Wabash county was less than $4,0, of which f.s his fee he retains $1,000. Wabash Plain Dealer. If in the present instance the strikers had been reasonable they would have had the support of press and public in bringing Pullman to terms, but the folly of extending the crusade so that it involved all interests and crippled the business of the country destroyed every possibility . of a, winning contest for the men and will eventually result in leaving them in a far worse condition than i.vhen the trouble was first begun.

Letter from Senator Hill Monument Dedication Exercises at Woodstock Mr. Stevenson to Southerners. WASHINGTON, July 4.-Th Coxey com. monwealers went through the spectacular performance of burying the "Goddess of Liberty" in front of the Capitol to-day. It was the sequel of the demonstration of May 1, when, according to Coxey and Browne, liberty was mortally wounded and lingered until she expired on the Fourth of July. Captain Austin and a force of ten mounted and twenty-six unmounted policemen were on hand with two patrol wagons. A small crowd was attracted by the novel performance. The commonwealers marched four abreast, 216 strong, with many banners and devices. At their head rode Carl Browne, in a remarkable disguise. His beard had been removed and his face powdered. A wig of yellow hair fell to his waist. His arms were bare and powdered. A liberty cap was on his head and his body was wound with the emblematic garments of liberty. It was not intended that Browne should be known in the disguise and the name of the Goddess was announced as "Sarah Elkhart, an Egyptian." After parading through Pennsylvania avenue the army formed company front around Peace monument, where Goddess Browne delivered an apostrophe to the bronze goddess on the top of the Capitol. As he closed his address he flopped in a badly simulated swoon from his horse, and his comrades catching him, placed the pale-faced marshal In an impromptu hearse and laid him at full length with flags and crape over him. The hearse was inscribed "Liberty is Dead." The procession then moved away to Mulligan Hill, where the Goddess stepped from the hearse and the commonwealers closed (he day with dancing and speeches. The Fourth was celebrated very quietly here to-day. There were a half dozen celebrations by patriotic bodies of which the most Interesting was conducted by the Sons of the American Revolution, which, under an escort by the Marine band and a detachment of the National Guard, marched to the foot of the Washington monument anJ held exercises there.

Mayor Gilroy, the grand sachem, presided. Richard Croker, Just arrived from his transatlantic voyage, entered the hall soon after the speaking began and 'was accorded a reception befitting a big chief of the tribe ot Tammany. Letters of regret were real from President Cleveland, Vice President Stevenson, Senator Hill. Governor Flower. Secretary Herbert p.nd a host of others. In Senator Hill's letter occurs the following paragraph: "The country demands the exhibition of true statesmanship at this hour on the part of those administering the government; it demands their adhesion to wellestablished constitutional principles; it demands their maintenance of an honest and vigorous but patriotic partisanship, not in efforts to build up personal political factions by the distribution of official patronage, of punishing adversaries ami rewarding sveophants. but by the broad and liberal policy of strengthening party organizations everywhere and encouraging devotion to correct principles of government; it demands the adoption of a definite fiscal policy to prevent the government from longer drifting towards the rocks of financial chaos, and finally demands a foreign policy which extends American sympathies to free republics rather than to monarchies."
