PATRIOTISM, PROTECTION
and PROSPERITY.
FOR PRESIDENT

FOR vICF-PREBIDENT-
GARRETT 4. HOBART, Of KsE Jersey
ELECTION NOVEMBER 3. 1895
-.--.------------=.--
Political anxiety is about over.
S
The campaign is simply a march to
prosperity.
All who wish good business and good
wages are working for Mckinley.
When the conductor shouts "All aboard
for Canton" every body in sight takes the
train.
Weather prophets viii soon change the
subject from politics to tell you about the
coming winter.
"What the people need is confidence"
,
1--WE have it in you, Major"
international btmetallism means bust
ness, while silver monometallism means
panic, and the people know it
The workingmen of the country have
learned that on McKinIey's lawn they are
not warned to keep off the grass.
In the mouth of the average Democratic
office-seeker free silver talk is simply a
dodge to evade the tariff question.
By persistently reiterating his speech
Bryan may make it familiar to the coun-
try, but he can never make it a household
word.
Genuine bimetalIists are those whose
sense is on the side of free silver as dis
tinguished from the cranks who are crazy
on it.
Democrats and Populists talk OF only
one plank in the Chicago platform and
look amazed when reminded that there are
others.
There are many parties in this country,
but only one OF them is united in har-
mony, and that is the party of protection
and prosperity.
The silence of the free-trader is good
sign that hereafter protection will be the
permanent policy of the country, and that
means prosperity.
Demoralized Democracy has ceased to
hope for harmony in its own ranks and is
now. seeking consolation by trying to find
a kicker or two in the Republican party.
Wandering Willie is not dignifed
title for a candidate for the Presidency,
but what can you call man whose name
is Willie, and who keeps wandering
around?
This campaign will settle the economic
policy of the Nation and put an end to
industrial disturbance, so that we can go
forward, not only 10 better times, but to
new issues.
The cottage home of Mckinley has be-
come the popular resort of the American
people, and no one ever goes there with
out finding a welcome and hearing words
of good cheer.
From the silence of the big spell-binders
among the Democrats and the Populists
it would seem the campaign has reached a
point of higher education where they can
not keep up with it.
The campaign has now progressed far
enough for the end to be clearly seen, and
IS a consequence business men are no
longer afraid of further Democratic ex-
periments and once more gold is coming
into the country instead of going out.

In a moment of unaccustomed good
sense Bryan advised all the voters of Rich
mond who were opposed to him to vote for
Mckinley, and this is perhaps the only
counsel he has given in the campaign
that the people will be willing to follow.
The promise of prosperity to be derived
from the free coinage of silver on the
Bryan plan is only mirage arising from
the unknown, but the promise of pros.
perity TO be derived from protection is an
assurance of things well known from the
experience OF all.
Mckinley has long stood in the front
rank of our statesmen, and his speeches in
this campaign have placed him in the
front Tank of our orators. No other
speaker in this canvass has given utter
anee to so much political wisdom en-
bodied in epigramatic phrases as he has
done, or has expressed so much clear
common-sense with terseness and elo-
quence.
The list of weekly periodicals Of this
City is to be increased by new one, the
Graphic, which is to be published every
Saturday and will be devoted to politics,
literature, society and the drama. The
initial number is I very attractive one,
both in contents and in typography, and
is handsomely illustrated. Politically the
new weekly is opposed to the free coinage
of silver, and will prove a valuable addj-
ton to the supporters of the cause of
sound money. y
