OF protection, and have given the kepub-
lican party a contract for the restoration
OF prosperity. i believe it should be all
lowed TO carry out any reasonable tartH
policy without obstruction II il brings
prosperity we will all be content IL IL
does not We VIII all know that some other
remedy Is required. and by the process
Of elimination Will get down TO the only
radical cure. namely. the fun restoration
OF SILVER as money metal Let farfn
leglsladion be enacted Immediately, ana
