n we have hard timesin this country
we are not alone. Reports coming from
England aud Scotland bring the news OF
great depression in business in those
Countries. with heavy failures. strikes,
suffering among the poor. and all other
evils which attend hard times. There as
here speculation, extravaganza over
trading, over-production in many direc-
tons, unsound methods ct doing husl-
ness, have been agents in producing the
hard times but one of the chief causes
of our business dIfliculties-an unsound
and 6uc,uating currency-is not among
the causes of their troubles.
II has been well known among those
who read the news from other countries
that the troubles in business which have
been experienced in the United States
have been felt in greater or less degree
all over the world. And yet it would be
supposed by those who read only green
back and democratic newspapers, that all
the world except this country is and has
been prosperous for the last five years,
and that the hard times here have been
entirety due TO the republican party,
chiefly to the alleged contraction of the
amount Of currency, although there is
currency in every bank lying idle because
there is no demand for it in business even
at very low rates of interest.
While we have been struggling to main
tain the credit of the government and es-
tablish our currency upon a specie basis,
we have had the universal depression oil
business also to contend with. We have
been affected by the worldwide stagna-
ton OF commerce and business as Eng
land and Scotland have been. Under the
circumstances we have made remark
ably successful struggle. We have paid
the interest upon our national debt and
reduced the principal steadily year by
year. We have increased the value of
greenbacks from 80 cts. on the dollar to
80 10. We have raised the credit of the
government SO that our bonds sell rapid
~ at four per cent. interest; and
have turned the current of our trade
with foreign countries so that we have had
for the last year a large balance in our ia
vor. All this time labor has been better
paid here than in other countries. The
poverty stricken people of Europe still
flock to our shores to improve their condi-
ton, immigration the last six months hav-
ing increased rather than decreased
In comparison with other nations the
United States is yet the best land on the
face of the globe for the laboring man,
and though the times are stringent we
have record for financial honesty as
nation unsurpassed by any other.
