Now, TO determine what we, ms

And this Is being done by the party
trayarance I would like to ask Mr.
CARLISLE how long IL would take to pay
off the national debt at the present
rate OF Democratic progrcas2 In the
above statement nothing Is said OF the
billions Of dollars OF loss caused by the
universal shrinkage In values. the
wldespread business depression, the
absolute annihilatlon of confidence and
the ghost OF idieness and hunger that
has haunted countless once happy
homes. From 1865 20 1893, the country
was managed under Republican rule
md legislation, and during that time
II naId on the national debt In prin-
cipal and interest the colossal sum
az 81 929, gi5 900 besides paying the
current expenses OF the government
md in the meantime the assessed
vnIuatinn OF tho country Increased
over forty-scven billion dollars, or nm
amount greatly exceeding the total
nssessed valuation or Great Brltnin'
How does that compare with Democ-
racy7 II has been demonstrated under
the ''Wilson bill' that the country
cnn only be conducted under bond Is
auas and business law Indicates that
our nations credit would last but n
abort time at the present rate OF debt
nroducinc and then We could lind
sac Tor no more bonds, and national
anauriaI dissolution and bankruptcy
wnIId ensue The edict has gone
fortb that the people nave had enough
Democracy and want to return 20 pro-
teetion. and the party that built UP
this country until 1t IA the wonder OF
the world They have also said where
eyer they have spoken. almOs, unani-
mously. that they want the man who
stan,s for protection, the exponent
q, protective tariff. and himself the

Hon. VIM. Mckinley OF Ohio for Pres-
ident. and they are going 10 have him
desplte the world. FaNoritn Son bub-
bles are bursting. and political COM
hines are crumblipg before the tenn
nest OF popular clamor, and II is now
very generally conceded that Mr.. Me-
KinIey will he nominated on the frat
