of the House at the same time.
In the lower branch Of Congress there

however. is safe enough to insure what
ever legislation is desired.
1t is therefore contended that it will not
be wise for the business men and the re-
publican party to depend wholly upon its
legislative and executive departments to
keep the silver question under foot; and
that the aid of Mr.. Hanna and the national
committee is needeI They will not only be
able to continue the education of the coun-
try on money matters, but they will be able
to back up the administration of Mckinley
in numerous ways. The business men will
be able to relax the fight they had started,
and give attention to, their business affairs,
feeling that their interests are safe in the
hands of Mr.. Hanna and his co-worker
and with degree of assurance that they
will not be disturbed by the nightmare
which hovered over them SO long,
