y civil war Values have shrunk since IL
i inauguration Of Mr. Cleveland to greatt
- extent than the entire cost of the civ
y war. People of all classes have suffered
~ a greater OF less extent, and the American
y have never failed to meet squarely al
:, great issue when thoroughly understoo
, and | believe that the sense and PATRIOTS
u of the American people have once mo
come to the front and decided against tr
J, trade and foreign manufactures and +
10 the development Of our own institution
Ie and what firmly believe to be in the i
=, tercst Of all concerned, whether rich
