PROMISES CONTRtSTED WITH PRACTICES
The people should keep IN mind the promises OF the
Wing leaders in iei3, and contrast them with their
performances in !>Al-'42. They then told the people
that the Democratic administration had brought the
"hard tines on the country, and they promised IT
Gen Harrison should be elected, that great change
would take place. thai property would increase in
value t!Ia, prices would rise, money become plenty,
and general prosperity spread over ihc land. III"
people placed confidence in these promises, and elect
cd General Harrison and pu, Tie Wings in power
The question IS, have they verified their promises
All know that they have not. Money IS scarcer
prices lower, distress general, tunes harder nov
than when the Wings cane INTO power. The people
then have been disappointed and deceived and The de-
ccirers can make satisfactory excuse soT IT, One OF

believe that snch bill is unconstitutional, and
that as snch, he could not sign it without being
guilty ofpujary They knew before the election that
Mr.. Tyler believed T. S Bank 10 be unconstiiu,icn
