There has never been time in the history Of
This country when the American flag has stood for
so much II stands for today for much prosperity
at home and much respect abroad and this
is due largely TO the administration of Benjamin lar
rson. Not the least of the factors Of this great
prosperity is the sound money system which series
Of Republican administrations have built mp and
for which party is fighting. The
money thas have today has paid the
greater part Of our National debt, is dischargins
our Obligations to soldiers, and has rendered or
business stable because dollar is always worth
the same amount. The Democrats bid you throw
this away and go back to the Old wildcat system
which prevailed before the ! hold in my hand
a bankncte Issued by bank in Nor,h Carolina at
that time and the names OF ,ndorsers appear upon
The back. Arc the workingmen of this country willing
TO be paid in such money as this worth Its face
value when they Nccivc it, perhaps but becoming
utterly worthless when they wish TO spend IT. There
is nothing which will anger Democrats so much As
10 talk Of tn-plac. an industry which is fast bcn;
built up and which is giving employment TO thousands
Of American worKAnen under protective tariff. II
the Democrats Should have the opportunity to carry
out their freetrade ideas they would throw out OF
employment 100000 American workmen who are
engaged in industries built up by system Of Pro-
lection"
