Tile Democratic victory Of 1902 has not
been able to bring the better times pron is
ed. II has not been able TO maintain the
good times which were enjoyed everywhere
in this country on the day of the victory.
Business failures have increased, banks
have suspended, money is harder to borrow,
and borrowers are compelled to pay higher
interest for their loans than for many. many
years. Feverlsh uncertainty prevails in
every financial and business circle.
Notice has gone forth that not only Is the
tariff to be revised, but that the pension list
is to be revised. War Is to be waged upon

man will object to purging of this roll Of
all who are unworthy there. Every case
| must rest u OH its own facts. do not oh

which in some quarters Is being made that

| Of the Government is more worthiiy be-
slowed or more widely distributed than the
money that goes to the soldiers OF the coun.
try in the form of pensions. 1t should he
remembered that pensions are better than
standing armies.
This Is the time for all good citizens to
help inspire faith in the future and dispel
fear and apprehension now so prevalent in
business and financial circles"

that has found expr ssion in the statutes Is
the Mckinley act. We cordially declare our
adhesion to the doctrines of that great
measure. and favor such amendn ents there

may show TO be advisable.
I'VE adhere to the Republican policy OF
granting pensions to the wounded and dis.
abIed Union soldiers and sailors Of the late
war, and the widows and orphans OF such
as are deceased, and we condemn the un-
friendly and unjust policy already made
manifest by the present Democratic admin
istration.
I'VE favor honest money, composed Of
gold, silver and paper, maintained ut equal
