of foreign nations English factories have
never had more prosperous times than

Now the gold goes to foreign nations and
they keep IL there. If the Mckinley bill
was in force the gold paid into our Gus

is Necessary TO relieve a. country whose
government is being run on borrowed
capital When this administration re-
pealed the Mckinley bill il had the same
effect ON the government that knocking

would have on the house. On the same
principle a farmer might set fire TO his
wheat field. then borrow money on the
land to run his farm on. and expect to
prosper The people storIned and howled
to have the Mckinley law repealed TO
bring better times. Did il bring better
times? They are demanding free silver.
If they should get it times would be as
much harder than they are now as you
can imagine. The idea Of a nation OF
farmers. mechanics and Industrial people
of all classes going to the polls and say
ing by their votes that they don't want
their business protected, that they want
little work. Ettle pay. That this country
with all it's vast resources shall contribute
to the wealth and prosperity OF other
countries and people while our own people
struggle under the weight of increasing
calamities.
