said in his speech here:
There seem TO be indications this year that
the people have made up their minds that the
public administration OF the affairs Of this ma
tion has something to do with the business pros
perity Of the people. l think our Democratic
friends admitted this in the last campaign. They
WERE perhaps, then inclined to exagEerate the In
uencs Of politics and Of political successes upon
the business Of the country. They assured you
then, think. that Democratic success would
mean the bringing in Of great wave Of prosper
ity; that the depression which prevailed in
some branches Of agriculture would at once be
relieved; that the low price of wheat would be
followed by high prices, and. In a word, the
whole country would be. Rs their song went in

" They exaggerated the possible influence of
executive and legislative policies upon the gen.
eral prosperity Of the country. but these policies
have much to do with IL. The tariff question
touches the business Of the country closely; the
financial question. the character Of our coin. and
the character of our paper issues all closely in
fiuence the business OF the people. but our Dem
ocratic friends seem TO have lost some Of the
high Impression they had Of the influence of

brought this panic upon us II 1t had been we
concomitants of that sort OF thing in the col

The next thing l want to say is that this
panic did not happen for lack & q money me, to do

under what is known the Sherman law. the
silver purchasing law, under which we bought

called Treasury notes, so that the money In cir
dred and nifty millions by this new currency
that had been put out among the people. The
money In circulation had also been enormously
increased by the reduction OF the surplus in the
Treasury.
You remember. my Democratic fr1ends-l
hope all friends, for have not anything
unkind TO say about any one-you remember
when they made u campaign upon the theory
that the country was being ruined because there
was much surplus, they said:
You have taken this money out Of the pock-
cts Of the people and locked II up, and 1t Is not
doing any body any good
That surplus had been spent by the purchase
OF Government bonds reduced enormously. and
the money was out among the peOple doing its
work. And then Il went out by the increased
pepsions-which am glad to say Republican

My point Is that the money in circulation
was 50 largely increased that Il could not have
been lack OF confidence on the part OF the peo-
pie in money that was in circulation. IL was
not because they doubted the value OF the bust
ness or the coin they had in their pockets. IL
was one OF the curious features OF that panic
that men who had money and went 10 the bank
