M'Kin!ey's Speech Answa red

In the first speech of the cam paign rrade
by Mr. Mckinley at Canton, Ohio, he sa id ::
We are all anxious TO get back to the
period of 1892. when this country was en-
joying the highest prosperity.'
This the Silver Knight anrwers by quot
ing the following from Bradstreets:
"BusnesS failures in 1862, one hundred
and fourteen million OF dollars, strikes in
1907 one thousand two hundred and nine ty-
eight iockouts, seven hundred and eighteen
including Homestead, where Pinkerton'S
thugs shot down men, women and children,
not to dwell on the butcherieS of laborers
at Cour d'Alene and in Tennessee by militia
and United State, troops"
Surely that is not the condition that the
people are ready and ;nXious to have tn
country return to If the country en-
loving its highest prosperity when business
failures were of daily occurrence and strikes
averaged about three a day in IS
