MR. REID SPOKE
at some length ON the isiues OF the
campaign. Ho said;
"lhere In one vital question. Are
people no dissatisfied with the present
prosperous course that they are ready
10 invite dangerous shock by sudden
~ reversing the engines we have been
running thirty years In the direction
OF high protective tariff. How seri.
Gus tho disturbance, gyen II u mOdIfl.
cation Of that course be made,
You all remember this long suspense
aud arrest OF operations attending the
debates on thn Mckinley bill? The
opponents Of that bill, which IL work.
Ing well now, declare Il uncOnatitu.
tiOual aud reciprocity AZ "a sham aud
demand i,s roversal. They also de.
mana the ahandOnment OF our magnif-
icent system OF national banking cur.
runcy. Such Is the sudden shock our
opponents invite you 10 bring upon
yourselves, and II Is the proposition to
be considered by practical business
people In a practical business.like way.
Presidential years have always been
considered bad business years, because
the future IL no uncertain. Now, for
the frat time, the Presidential cam.
paiRn IL iar from producing stagnation.
IL IL attended by general prosperity
and brisk buslness. Not even tile un-
usual radical threats and unexpected
Hpecter OF cholera combined have this
year been able to cast a chill over tho
general confidence or slAnken the ac.
tivitiee OF the buoyant business. Why?
Ia II not because the business world
has made up its mind there IL to be no
change with an abiding faith in the
common sense aud sober second
thought OF the average American cltl.
zenb2 Does not every business man,
whatever his party conviction or
his political preludices, absolutely
know as u cold business proposition
ihnt complete reversal OF the existing
order OF things demanded by the
Democratic party IN its present plat.
form az to tariff, reciprocity aud the
National banking system would neces.
fBrily uuseitle business for the next
eighteen months or two yearp. In
view Of our having adapted ourselves
To the Mckinley bill and our prac.
tically unbroken conduct OF business
since 1869 under the high protective
thrill system, most men, whether free
traders or pIOtectioniSts, know that
anything like broad and thorough
execution Of the scheme laid down In
the Democratic platform would be the
precipitation OF business chaos. Ia IL
wise, In prosperous times, to let well
enough alone, or u upset everything
aud go hunting for theoretical rain-
bOwn? Present activity OF business. in
