of all civilized nations.
,. We congratulate not alone the Republican
party, but the entire country, upon the oenet-
cent results of the system of protection to
American industry, as embodied in the law
universally known as the Mckinley bill, and
present Democratic Congress as assidious at
tempts to destroy the unprecedented industrial
and commercial prosperity attained under its
influence and operation, and to drag American
| labor down TO the level of the semi-slavery of
| European nations.
| Republican party to maintain a sound and uni
| form currency, and regard as extremely danger
GUS to the industrial and commercial prosperity
/ of the nation, the attempt to depreciate 1t by
| the enactment of legislation which Is calculated
