country to such an extent that even
the Republicans are obliged to recog-

Congratulate Cleveland and Brice.

land that his efforts i'll favor of the re =
peal Of these vicious laws and the up
holding Of the credit of the country
have been successful
We congratulate our senator, Hon.
Calvin 5. Brce, for the earnest and eff.
fective support he has given to the
president in these matters. When we
consider the fact that the Democratic
party received from the Republicans
in 1892 bankrupt treasury; that it in
herlted from them the vicious cur.

pared and finally produced the panic
of 1893, we insist that it is entitled to

and the equal power of every dollar a
all times in the payment of debts; ant
we demand that the paper currenc,
