Speech nv Mr.. BurleiRh.
It
IN response said II did his heart good TO
look on such a scene. at such time. They
came there as Republicans upder the light
OF the policies OF that party. sunder whose
administration this country had prospered
a. no other country had prospered- Under
the leadership OF the immortal Lincoln.
under the flag carried by valiant patriots,
this nation amidst the war grew and four
ished. There Ii no such history of growth
aud progress as tho United States offers
from 1861 to issss. and that was under Re-
publican administration. In 1855. when
the Democrats came IN. the treasury was
overlooking. the burden of the national
debt was decreased. men were busy. and
every one was paid IN money worth 100
cents on the dollar Why was II that pros
per!ty had left the country Because the
people IN a confiding moment intrusted
their fortunes TO the Democratic party.
The people turned to the Republican party
TO restore to them the prosperity they had
lost: they were called upon 20 relieve the
present conditions. and n Is a perfectly
simple matter. Two things would do IT,
One was TO declare against this fsilacy Of
the free coinage and In favor OF a policy
which assures every man money always
worth foo cents on the dollar tCheers)
The other was protection 10 American In
custry. which includes protection OF Amer
lean iabcrcrs against the pauper labor OF
Europe.

peblicanism before all other considera-

Mr.. tNirrhild. OF whatcom. was called
for and made pleasant sreech. He said
the Democrats said the tariff was no longer
an issue. ana now they would have us be-
iieve thar free silver WAS an issue. Well.
