CONFIDENCE.
Confidence is essential to success in
business or war. The Wilson tariff bill
was the culmination of a free trad>?
agitation begun by Orover Cleveland
in 1884. its failure to provide revenue
to support the government, the borrow
ing of enormous sums of money to meet
the ordinary expenses, destroyed the
confidence of the nation. The panic
which paralyzed industry and sent 2,-
000,OOn men into idleness and their fam
ilies to face starvation was the logical
result. Increased distress, low prices
for farm products, an ever diminish
ing stock of gold in the treasury, gave
the advocates of free coinage an op
portunity they never enjoyed before.
;md never will again. The election of
•McKinley may be regarded as little
short of providential.
The Diugley bill was speedily passed,
the treasury of the nation began to fill
up; the wheels of industry began to re
volve; the smoke of countless chimneys
of manufacturing plants curled to the
sky; gold began to flow into the coun
try, and the price of wheat and of all
farm products advanced. Somehow the
Republican triumph restored confidence
to the American people, and hand in
hand with confidence came prosperity.
This year has opened a new page in
the world's history and blazed a new
path for the tread of Anglo-Saxon free
dom. El Caney and Ran Juan demon
strated anew the invincible pluck, the
splendid courage of the American sol
dier. Manila and Santiago surpass Tra
falgar, and write the names of Ameri
can sailors, Sampson, Schley and Dew
ey and Hobson and Wainwright side
by side with that of Nelson on the head
roll of fame.
Shall we garner the fruits of the po
litical victories of 1596 and the martial
victories of 1898, and keep the flag
flying where its gorgeous folds have
been unfurled, or confess that Ameri
can ability and character are not equal
to the opportunity that the god of bat
tle has thrust in our way? Shall we
assist in the storm of detraction that
has assailed the administration and the
conduct of our war, and join in the
pessimistic views of a Cleveland and
Bryan, who doubt the capacity of the
American people to justly and success
fully meet the responsibilities that a
war waged for the sake of humanity
has cast upon them?
Let them be answered. The Republi
can party Is able to take care of its
own rascals, If there be any, We will
not burn down the house to get rid of
a troublesome brood of mice that nibble
the state cheese, if such there be. De
feat now could not be explained. We
will not adopt a remedy that would
be worse than the disease. Would a
house of hungry Democrats be an im
provement over the house of 1896?
Let all Republicans who glory in the
name and who believe in sound money,
protection, prosperity and patriotism,
rally to the colors. Let all sound
money Democrats see to it that their
labors and sacrifices shall not have
been in vain.
Let us send greeting to William Mc-
Kinley on the Bth of November, the
glad tidings that Pennsylvania stands
fast by her glorious record of Repub
lican victories, and that she approves
of his statesmanship, self sacrificing
labors and splendid courage. This
plain American citizen has borne upon
his heart 10, these many days, the vast
and unmeasured responsibility of a
sudden war. No labor has been too se
vere for him to undertake, no sacrifice
too great for him to undergo, that the
nation might pass in safety through
the dire ordeal of war. During the
many weeks and months this patient
man has grown in the hearts of this
people and in the estimation of all the
world. He has written his name with
that of Washington, the father, and
Lincoln, the savior of the country. With
them it will be enshrined forever. Shall
the state that gave him 300,000 majority
seem to reward him with the dishonor
of defeat for any reasons under the
shining canopy of Heaven?
"This year national issues are para
mount." This year the Republican
party of Pennsylvania owes to the na
tion and to the Republicans of all the
states a special duty to maintain its
organization and roll up a majority
that will discourage the enemies of
Bound currency and American Industry.
There Is today not a majority of Re
publicans in the United States senate
sound on financial questions. United
on finance, the Republicans would have
a bare working majority. Send a Dem
ocrat or Populist, or any antagonist to
th«> Republican party, and the president
will be further embarrassed in his ad
mittedly sound and wise poller' •***_! _
