free trade administration. though COM
posed of good. able and honest men. un-
able to defray the ordinary and usual ex-
penses of the government. and had to re-
sort to borrowing, but the policy has en-
tailed a loss to the people of the United
States of more than enough to pay the ma
tional debt ten times over.
Bryan = Party TO the Experiment..
mot only was Bryan a party to all this
unwise and dangerous experiment, but he,
as is well known to every intelligent man
and woman on this Coast, was to the ex-
tent Of his voice, vote and ability cham
pion OF that policy. Not only that, but he
insists that the policy that has wrecked
every industry on this Coast shall be aii-
hered TO, and that the curse OF adversely
which he-honestly. I concede-heiped TO
place upon your homes shall. through the
votes cast by the inmates Of those homes.
continue to rest upon YOU (Applause9
ITO plain Buckeye the proposition that
the way to remove the curse is 10 continue
the policy that brought the c,Sse and
keeps 1t with us. is stupidity absurd, not to-
say utterly as,nine. The obvious. sensible
way to correct the mischief which results
from pursuing a certain course, and toll
Grating certain conditions, Is 10 change
the course and remove the evil conditions.
That is, change our economic policy back
TO that which gave Us prosperity.
And to my mind IL Is utterly incompre-
hensible that you should be able TO find a
corporafs guard in the state of Washing
ton 20 help fetter upon the energies
and opportunities OF your state the blight
ing curse that Mr.. Bryan forced upon you.
and forced upon you against your voice
and vote as given In 1892
But learn there are some here who
while 'cursing the stripes. yet bless the
rod / repeat. IL seems so absurd and ut
terry al war with all the dictates OF rea-
son. common sense and obvious interest.
that It is incredible that Bryan should get
votes enough In this state on that issue

Mr.. Butterworth then took up the plea
pat forward by "thoss who talk without
thinking, and act without considering
that what We need 10 revive our psospers-
