A DEMOCRATIC "CoRNER."
For the past 20 years the Republican
party has controlled the administration
Of National affairs, and we find to-day
great prosperity in the land. Our
great industrial establishments are in
full operation, employment is general,
wages are increasing, the balance of
trade is In our favor, business is good
and steadily growing better. Now
the Democratic party is fond of ascrib'
ing the present happy condition Of af-
fairs to Divine Providence. 1t is truly
gratifying fellow citizsns. to discover
that the Democratic politicians have
created for themselves "corner" in
piety. Laughter and applause,D
II you will look back for 20 years and
examine the records of the great Re-
publican party you will see the reason
why we enjoy this great prosperity.
You will see that our present satisfac-
tory condition OF affairs ia the result of
wise legislation, prudent measures and
economical management. You VIE fail
to. ind a single measure advocated by
the Republican party which has not
been for the good Of the nation, or
single act which has operated against
the nations prosperity You will find
that it has always been in favor of
American industries and pro
teot:ng trade. You will observe thatit
has always met tho maturing obliga-
ticus of the Government and been
foe to repudiation Of State obligations
At all times. Further 1t has reduced
The interest bearing debt $3.50, 900, 900.
and the annual interest from $3.50 600,
poo to SIS, 100000 saving s7l, ,00O, 600
zach year.

What has been the result OF this
