-Four years ago We met as we meet
now, representatives OF the Republican
party. Prosperity vas IN thu land Capt.
tai was confident and labor smployei.
Those were the good days OF waxe-earn-
ing. and the spirit o. American enter
prise was stirring and bold The treas
ury was full. the public revenues suf1l-
Gent fer its needs We were at peace
with all the world. and had placed a prg-
dent hand on the key OF the Pacific. Foar
short years have come and gone Lock
about now. The treasury Is enBfy oar
credit IS impaired. Our revenues are de-
fcient- We meet the public need. not with
income, but BY borrowing q: high rates
and pleoging this future for the wants
OF the present. Business is parzlyxed
Confidence has gone. Enterprise has fold
ed its eagle wings. and mopes and hlinks
n the market place Our mills are idle
ana our railroads crippled Capital hides
itself. and labor idly walks the street.
There IS neither q coed days wage nor
coed days work. We have met with
sights abroad. and have serious differ
ences with other nations The key Of the
Pacific has slipped from our hands For
etgn troops have been landed on this henri
sphere. Our own boundaries have been
threatened in Alaska The Monroe doc
yindic2te6- The people OF q neighbor isl
and fighting for freedom lock toward Us
with imploTing eyes, and look in vain.
The American policy which would pro-
tecE our Industries ar home and our flag
abroad has faded and witherei away.
Look then. upon that picture and on
this
Could you on that fair mountain leave
10 feed
And batten on this moorT
But four short years have cone and
gone and they have brought this change.
What has happened7 I VIII tel You in
a word The Democratic party has been
in power. This IS the answer. Upon Us
falls the heavy burden q binding I'D
these wounds and bringing relief 70 ale
viate this suffering. The Democrats de-
ceived the people by promising them the
and the miserable results Of
those promises are all about Us today
We have no promises 70 make. We pledge
ourselves only TO that which we believe we
can perform. We wIM do our best. That
Is all. And as in $50 we saved the Union
and abolished slavery. SO now IN iSs5 we
viii deal with the Democratic legacy CT
binndsrs. bankruptcy and misfortune.
we are gathered here 70 choose the
next president OF the United States.
That We VIII win in the election no man
doubts. but let Us not deceive ourselves
with the pleasant fancy that the cam
paign Is 20 be an easy one. II win be
hard battle; Il cannot be otherwise when
so much depends On the result. Against
the Republican party. representing fixed
American policies, strength. progress and
order. VII re arrsigned not only that or
gained failure, the Democratic party
but an the wandering forces Of political
chaos and social disorder II Is not mere
~ the presidency which is set before as
IS the prize. The prosperity OF the ccun-
try, the protection OF our Industries. the
soundness Of our currency and the nation
al credit, are ali staked on the great issue
to be decided al the polls next November.
Upon Us devolves the duty OF rsscuing
the country from the misery into which
Il has been plunged by three years OF
Democratic uifsrule. To drive the Demo-
Gratis from power is the first step and the
highest duty. but We shah triumph In vain
and IN our turn shall meet heavy punish
ment ct the hands OF the people IL we
do not put our viotery 70 right uses such
a crisis as this cannot be met and dealt
with 10y shouts q enthusiasm We must
face il as our fathers faced slavery and
dIsunion. with a grim determine ton 10
win the battle and take up our RESPONSE
bslit!es in the same spirit with shich we
won the fight Now, as then, we can
hope 20 succeed only by continuous en-
deavoT. and row. IS then, everything de-
ponds upon the administration We place
In Office. We want a president who win
meet this situation as Lincoln met that %
1851. with the chiefs Of che Republicans
about him and With party and people al
his back
I'VE want a president who on the ssh
