of the ice end your patty has Indelibly

yet blighter fiituio, which I believe Is
tho logical hoiltage of the Ameilcan
roptibllc. If we depart not from the
tenets or our paily raltn
place of power she had repealed the
salutniy tariff measure enacted by Re
publican legislation, and replaced upon
nur statute books ennptmontR so nien
nrlng to public eiedlt and confidence-,
and so pernicious, that In addltlun to
tho hundicds ()f millions which a de
pleted treasury compelled them to bor
row In times of peace, distress, want,
discontent and business stagnation
were everywhere found, while C'oxey
armies plodded their vvuv along mnnv
a dusty road to the nntlmi.il cnpltnl.
praying for relief fiom the hardships of
a Domoointle iidmlnlstration.
tndei eo- ntlnns like these William
McKlnle y . d n Republican congress
boaided the ship of state. In an In
credibly shoit time a tailff law was
enacted, beneficial to Ameilca and
Americans, national eiedlt was speedi
ly restored, and millions of gold that
had lied oui bIioios through loss of con
fidence, returned and brought other
gold with It to add to the geneinl pros
peilty. Now wo dnd capital and labor
pvor)wiiero employed nnd our rail
loads nnd water lines, then almost
binkrupt, are taxed to their fullest
capacity, carrying tho products of the
faun, the mill and the mine, nnd trans,
porting our peo.ilo to and fiom tho
busy marts of trade.
An Important Incident In tho present
administration, nnd I believe In the
w oild's history, oven, was our war
with Spain. In behalf of a people op
pressed for HOO yeais, we took up tho
enuse of humanity, and In the Interest
