is declared authoritetiyely that millions of
money lie idle in bank vaults. Is it in
quired why, in country OF boundless I'M
developed resources. money hides away I'M
der lock and key? The answer is that radi-
calism has exiled confidence, and only few
owners of money dare invest it in any of the
industries that, previous to the reign ofradi-
calism, made this ocean grit republic hive
of industry from center 10 circumference.
We are told that on the highways and by
ways of the country large numbers of men
known as tramps are found-the enemies of
society, and more dangerous to the
peace of communities than the bril-
gands of Italy or the sayages on the
frontier. Why does this anomalous condi-
ton of society exist? There is but one an
swer: Tramps were unknown to the country
prior to the panic of '73, brought about by
the curse of contraction which shook down
ness of the country, and drove men from the
paths of virtue into the highways of crime.
The tramp curse is one of the litter of
scourges that radicalism, in the wealth of its
inlquity, has bequeathed to the country. We
are told there is third party, made up of all
the ''vicious elements of society, commun-
lists, socialists and strikers" That ''this
party threatens the foundations of
society" that ''its hand is raised
against law and order and property"
that it is ''marshaling its forces
to inaugurate anarchy and a reign of blood"
Thurlow Weed, man of great experience,
whose words carry conviction, says that
this 'new party movement was made
inevitable by the infamous legislation of
the radical party during the last fifteen
years in which capital has been sedulously
guarded and labor disregarded. The statis-
tics show that crime is deplorably on the
increase. Jails, reformatories and peniten-
tiaries overflow with criminals of every
grade. Why is this terrible phase of the
situation added to all the rest of the intol.
cradle curses which bow the people with
unutterable anxiety and humiliation? 1t
grows out of the fact that
radicalism, which, as Thurlow Weed says,
has shown no sympathy with labor" on the
contrary, "when legislating at all, 1t has uni
'formly legislated in favor of capital" As a
consequence thousands and tens of thou

bonds rather than in enterprises that EN-
ploy labor. Point a man with money to a
factory where the machinery has been hush
ed by the curse of radicalism, and ask him
to set it in motion, and he tells you
1t is business coffin in which more
that one man has been stretched out dead in
his rags, and points to the business cemete-
ries of the country, where more than 90 900
registered dead men repose, struck down by
the radical financial policy. All yes; there
is money, but 1t Is inert. 1t dare not move.
There are willing workers idle. It is the
policy of the democratic party to vitalize
money, and thus set men and women to
work. 1t is the purpose of the rcople to
exile the radical party from power and en-
throne the democratic party. 1t is hs pur-
pose of the people to remedy, as far IA pos
sible, the curse of radcalism, and usher
in an era of honesty and prosperity.
Every reasonable demand of the national
party is fully and squarely met by the dem
ocratic party, which is moving on to victory.

who do not admit it would look at the sun
