These conditions certainly lay
the basis for y sound and healthy
revival Of business. There is In
the Intrinsic state Of affairs little
to suggest misgivings as to the
future; there Is, on the contrary,
much calculated to esta blish conf
dence In continuous steady, stable
and conservative course of trade.
The country has learned some ser
ious lessons and, therefore, IL dis
posed to I've sober, but is salso very
hungry for more trade and better
profits, and is therefore disposed to
turn to active account every
chance for Improving both. For
the last four years the perception
Of a coming change in our tariff
policy has had more repression
effect upon enterprise than Is gen.
orally supposed; and the fact that
that change has at last come with
little prospect of its being much
disturbed for some time to come,
prepares the way for many long
postponed undertakings. The fact
Of the common cheapness of ma
terials and of the quite general re-
duction of wages has very direct
tendency to invite revival in Ger.
tain important branches of trade,
especially those connected with
building, machine plant, public
improvements and railroads. How
far the reduced scale Of prices and
the exemption of raw materials
from duty may enable us TO in
crease our export trade remains to
be seen; in the meantime, however,
it Is u hopefully significant fact
that last years reducti on In values
was attended by an increase in
our exports of 8s,OOO,OOO as COM
pared with the year 1929.
The recovery that now seems tO
he setting in is something broader
than u revival from the effects Of
last years panic. That crisis,
Immediately incident to the great
silver fright, embraced also the
effects of the deeper arrangements
that in with the great Barings sus-
pension and of which that failure
was but symptom. Those de-

l. Loyalty to its main duty of
repeating McKinle yism, reversing
the tariff policy of the country, and
making public-not private-in-

2. Placing the currency of the
country upon a sound basis by the
repeal of dangerous Republican

8. Repeal of the Federal Elec-

4. Economy, retrenchment, and
reform in appropriations, expendi-
ture, and the administration of all
departments.
B. Honorable conduct of our
foreign relations, with justice to a

pcratic administration thus far has
been faithful and successful. In
its tariff legislation it may not
meet the extreme wishes of
many within its ranks; it may not
follow strictly It's own principles

considered In practical legislation,

WHEN the Democratic party
came into power in March, 1893,
business was prosperous and SO
continued for months. The Demo.
cratic tariff policy had heen known
for years. 1t had been declared in
platforms, formulated in bill, and
was the commanding issue in five
successive campaigns. Upon that
single issue'the party carried the
country four months before its ac-
cession to power; and two years
before that this policy had been
overwhelmingly indorsed by the
people. There has never been a
day since November, 1890, when
there was the least doubt as to the
general position and action of the
party upon the question, and bust.
ness interests could and did gov.
ern themselves accordingly. But
during this time there was a grow.
ing mistrust Of our financial legis-
lation, especially Of the Sherman
Act of 1890, and constantly in.
creasing conviction that 1t was
breeding evils out of which must
come Il crisis and distress. Our
hoard Of useless silver was increas.
ing, our gold-reserve diminishing,
expenditures were exceeding reve.
nue., all controlled by Republican
laws then in force. The admins
tration of President Harrison, in
closing days, saw the crisis COM
ing, and planned extraordinary
measures for temporary relief;
then tided things along, and pass
ed this trouble over with many
others unsettled as legacy to its
successor. Confidence was i'm
paired, credit shaken, and the cris.
is came. There were uppermost
then in the public mind both the
silver and tariffs questions; yet, by
Il general consensus of the conser.
vative sentiment of the country,
and the practically unanimous
opinion of business interests, silver
and the Sherman law were declar-
ed to be, of legislative measures
the sole cause of the trouble, and
urgent demand was made for the
repeal of that law. Here was an
evident duty resting upon the
Democratic party. For its discharge
fortunately, it had but to be true
to its own past action and profes.
sions. 1t had unanimously oppos.
ed the passage of the law; it had
bitterly denounced it in it's Ma
tional Convention; it had nominal
ed and elected rs its President one
known to be unalterably opposed
to that and all similar legislation
Under his steadfast leadership, ir
extraordinary session of Congress
conquering opposition within its
ranks, it grappled with the ques
tion, repealed the law, and placed
the country, so far rs in its power
lay, upon sound financial basis
1t applied the one remedy demand
ed and was true to itself and thu
country. 1t stopped the. financia
panic, but it's evil and distress wer'
beyond the reach Of legislation.
