at us and our party a. the author of
this widespread misery. ltis high
time We repudists this foul Islander
and stamp the ifs out Of this crawl
ing serpent Of Republican deception.
We live, it 10 true, under Democratic
administration, both State and Ma
tional, but both tho State and Nation
are cursed by Republican laws. Let
US not forget nor permit tho people
to forget, that We stil have the
blessed Mckinley BILL that latest
but most developed cff-shoot ot the
poisonous plant, protection. Let us
not forget, nor permit Congress to
forget, tho unanswerable thesis of
sound political economy that our in
dustries can never get on q healthy
natural basis until this noxious weed
is destroyed, root and branch. Panics
are the necessary outRrowth and
never failing accomplishments of this
artificial system, which stimu .ates
growth abnormslly in certain direc-
tions. while it prevents expansion in
others, and finally compels it's pam
pered favorites to shake their own
slime in ever-recurring spssm Of
over-production.
Let us not forget, especially, that
that cowardly mskeshift denounced
by the National platform last year,
the Sherman bill, discredited now by
it's own author, still stands upon the
statute BOOKS. John Sherman sold

saving Harrison the unpleasant ne

all Bs the great and sufficient cause
Of our present financial distress. Our
purity is held responsible for the con-
dition Of the treasury of thu United
States, yet fonr years ago it went out
Of power leaving q surplus revenue
TO the amount, roundly stated, of u
hundred million dollars in the Golfers
of the National Treasury. When
Secretary Carlisle, barely five months
ago, cast his eagle eye into the strong
box at Washington, he found Therein
only the marks where Calico Charlie
had been scrsping at the bottom Of
the bin. Both tho Mckinley and
Sherman bills have got to go, and
the people will sustain us in the good
work.
"In the campaign before US, the
State issue only can be- settled. But
in the State, as in the Mutton, we find
that the will Of tho people is repeat

our laws which is still unrealized; and
while the world adniringly beheld
the triumphant election nnd re.elec-
