slider that commercial depression in America
has accompanied the first deliberate attempt to
recast the tariff on English lines: and that it
was not until this done by President Cleve-
land and his party that surplus which was
once the envy Of every Finance Minister abroad
was converted into a deficit; that borrowing
powers which were once unrivalled in Europe
were paralyzed In England that there was wide
spread distrust Of the stability Of American
financial administration, and that the honorable
fame Of the Nation the most prosperous
country In Christendom was clouded. There Is
no leisure In England for painstaking study of
causes and effects In America. 1t is easier to
refer to the vagaries Of the silver movement and
to the war scares OF American politics." and to
conclude that commercial depression in the Unit

vival Of the Monroe Doctrine. and that lingo

undermined its prosperity
conspicuous fact in the economic experience of

only by the magnitude Of the surplus revenues
and debt-paying went on with unexampled
rapidity. American example a greater force
than English theory in regulating the tariff sys
