Under 1t more business failures occurred
than ever before In the history Of the
country In the same period Of time. While
It was in operation, there were more pe6.
ple out Of employment, more labor
1trikes, more bread riots, less employment
for labor and lower wages paid than was
ever before known. Under Its operation

wheat and wool, brought the lowest prices
reached since the war. While 1t was in
force, there were harder times, more
psnics, more business houses bankrupted,
more forced sales, and more distress and
dsstitutiQn than was ever known in this
country In the same length Of time. The

we're caused by tho change Of administra-
tion is 80 unsupported by facts that de.
nial seems unnecessary; for it must not be
overlooked that until within the last &c
days evory commodity bought or sold, in
cludine every bushei of grain and every
pound of wool In the market, was bought
and sold under the Mckinley tariff, which
was In full operation, doing its perfect
work; and that since it's repeal, business
has revived and the market improved

leaislature Of Ohio as the most extraya
cant. yenal and corrupt known to the his
fory Of this state. It adjourned at a time
when some Of its members charged thei,
fellow members with bribery and wher
the peopie were ciamorous for investipa
tion. II would not suffer Investigation
for that meant conviction Not to investt

latter alternative. It's appropriation oi

ers yet remain In office though publicl,
charged with grave and immoral conduc
