We have been suffering for some
years from very great depression.
The world has felt it. Hear! hear!] There is
no question about the fact when you have

when they are made to feel poverty then the
whole world must feel it. tApplause-l You
! have had here great prosperity because Of our
| great extravaganza and misfortuncs. We had
! war which drew into it almost every man who
| could bear arms. When that great conflict was
going on re we're spending thousand
millions 4 year more than we were pro-
ducing, aud Europe got every dollar
oft. 1t made for you false prosperity. You
we're getting our bonds and promises to pay,
cashdng them yourselves. That made great
prosperity and made producers beyond the
real necessis;es Of the world at peace. But
TIC finally got through that great conflict,
and With an inflated currency which
was far below the specie you use here. It
made our pcople still more cxtravag2nt. We
paid it back to you for your labor and manu-
factures, and 1t made you apparently aud
really prosperous. We, on the other hand,
were getting really poor, but, being hon
est, VIC came to the day Of solid
payment. We come down TO- the necessity Of
selling more than We bought. Now we have
turned the corner, We lave had our days OF
depression; yours are just coming on. Our
prosperity is commencing, and as We become
prosperous you will, TOO. [Applause.] Becausewe
become increased consumers Of your products
as we'll as our Owl. Two distinguished men
have alluded to this subject. One was the Presi-
dent OF the United States, and be said the pros
peri:y of the United States would be felt to the
bounds Of the civilized world. [Applause.]
