We Will Have Prosperity.

j. 4. Burton gave an interesting
talk to Denver paper the other day
that is one of the best comments on
the political situation we have seen
for some time. 1.-THE Republican
leaders," said be in answer to an in
quiry, "are perfectly sincere in their
desire to settle the silver ques-
ton through international agreement.
not only thinx they are sincere, but
l know 1t. l consider Mr.. Wolcott
the brightest man in the United States
senate and my judgment is that be
will grow wonderfully within the
next four years. His closing remarks
at Colorado Springs will last longer
than anything said on either side
during the last campaign and will DO
handed down as a part Of the liters-
ture Of this country. Colorado 10
represented magni6cently in the
United States senate and Senator
Teller is undoubtly.one Of the strong.
est factors in politics Of the United
States today.
""Silver will not be heard Of four
years from now," said Mr.. Burton,
"uniess the Republican party keeps
it in prominence by pushing the
international conference. European
countries are looking to the United
States as the greatest power on earth.
They know no single government can
solve the silver question. 1t is too
big a thing to be accomplished 5y
any one nation. The risk is too
great. We don't want to take such .
fearful risk alone, but II IL is under
taken by the leading nations Of the
earth 1t will cease to be a risk and we
can afford to be party to the
venture.
"In Kansas" he continued, 1--WE
were outyoted by a conglomeration
consisting Of Populists, Bryan Demo-
Gratis and body Of voters vaguely
termed Silver Republicans. This
conglomeration was too much for US,
although the Republicans polled more
votes than ever before in the history
OF the organization in Kansas. The
rabid talk Of the Populists has injur-
ed the State sorely. You folks out
here know something about it. : You
had Waite. Free silver was not the
dominating idea in the campaign as
in Colorado, but the free silver idea
slivered off enough Republican votes
to give the State to the Pops. \ Pros
perity under Mckinley Yes, indeed.
We will enact a tariff law, first, to
raise the expenses Of the government
and, second, to give incidental pro-
lection. There will be no issue Of
bonds during McKinley's administers
ton, and you'll hear nothing about
the reserve being disturbed, The
millions Of money piled in the banks
chin deep will 60 into business as
soon as confidence is restored as it
will be restored under Mr.. Mckinley.
The protective policy will bring con-
Iidence. Prices always 60 down dur
Ing hard times when the money Of
the country is boarded. When con-
fidence is restored, everybody wants
property and nobody wants money.
That will be the condition after
Mckinley fairly gets down to busi-
naea y

TEMPERANCE.
We sympathize with all wise and le-

RIGHTS OF WOMEN.
The republican party is mindful OF
the rights of women. Protection of
American industries includes equal op-
portunities, equal pay for equal work,
and protection to the home. We ia
vor the admission of women to wider
spheres of usefulness and welcome
their cooperation in rescuing the
country from democratic and popuulist
Encouragement and misrule.
Such are the principles and policies
OF the republican party. BY these prin-
ciples we will abide, and these policies
we will put into execution. We ask for
them the considerate Judgment of the
American people. Confident alike in
the history of our great party and in
the justice of our cause, We present our
platform and our candidates in the full
assurance that their election will bring
victory to the republican party and
prosperity to the people Of the United
States.

even bought it in dry goods store, be-
