The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1896-11-07
A FAMOUS VICTORY.
Tho Election Of MKinley an Un-
precedented Triumph.
Good Government and National Pros
perity Insured by the Sue
cess of the Republican
Candidate.

The third day of November, 1896, will
be memorable in the annals of our coun-
try as the day on which William Nc
Kinley, of Ohio. achieved the greatest
civic victory in the history of American
politics.
No other candidate of his party or
OF any other party ever carried with
triumphal sweep such vast section
of the union.
No other candidate of his party or
of any other party ever received such
an overwhelming majority of the pop
ular vote.
No candidate of any party ever broke
down the barriers of sectional preju-
dice or obliterated the demarkntions
of fractional strife as did the Ohio pro-
tcctionist on November 3, 1896.
The victory for good government is
overwhelming beyond the most radi-
ant hopes OF sound money enthusiasts.
The great conservative, patriotic senti-
mcnt of the country has responded with
mighty power. 1t is landslide, by the
side of which all other landslides pale
into insignificance.
The bulwarks of law and order in
this republic are impregnable. Popular
government is not n failure. 1T was
IA famous victory"
The telegraph wires which tell the
story OF the magnificent triumph OF
Mckinley and sound money will also
flash the good news of the revival of
business confidence. The telegraph

have been registered for the defense
OF the national credit will also carry
the message of reawakened commercial
and industrial activity.
This is not idle political conjecture.
The time for campaign promises has
passed. Ante-elcction representations
have been wiped off the bulletin boards
TO give place TO market quotations. The
people have declared emphatically
against dangerous experimentation
with the currency question. They have
rcpudiated the repudiationists. They
have signally rebulNed the false econ
omists who clamored for the debase-
mcnt of our measure of values. Now
for business.
When IL is remembered to what ex-
tent the business OF the country de-
ponds upon the confidence that exists
between man and man and upon the
faith of the people in the financial sta
bility OF the government, IL will be seen
that the belief in an immediate revival
of business Is based on natural condi-
tions and on rational conclusions. The
menace to capital involved in threat
TO change the standard OF value and the
financial disturbance caused by the free
silver controversy could have no other
result upon business than a general
destruction of public confidence, fol-
lowed by diminished sales and pur-
chases i'm all lines of mercantile activity
and decreased production In all manu-
featuring enterprises. Thousands OF
merchants have refused TO give orders
Cor goods until the financial question
was definitely settled, while thousands
bave given orders conditioned only
anon McKinley's election.
The extent to which money has been
boarded. pending the final arbitrament
of the currency question, would be p
startling revelation to the people II
exact conditions could be accurately
