The ISSUES involved every producer and
consumer In the Republic In 1892 for tho first
iimo In thirty-;wO years. the control OF both the
executive ami Legislative" branches OF tho Govern
ment intrusted TO the Democratic revenue reform
party The result. predicted by tho leaders Of
the Republican party has been most disastrous 10 all
concerned The Democratic revenue reform party
has Enthusiastically demonstrated It's incapacity 20
govern wisely well. The Nation Ia ready 70 spcw
1t out OF It's mouth.
Confidence in our Industrial investments must be
completely restored Labor must be actively en-
ployed md literally rewarded. Dstrust in the fut-
ura must be removed. The single gold standard OF
exchange or measure of values must be preserved:
the ma lonal revenue increased without increasing
our internal revenue taxation; the National credit
revived; the Natona. debt gradually discharged:
reciprocity treaties renewed: our fo,egn trade
cx,cr l"l: new markets opened FOR the surplus prod
ucis Of the farm and factory; the production OF
sugar encouraged. the fires in our manufactures

which a Republican Administration and a Repub!i-
can Congress Will be called upon to solve
The erection ~ a Republican President without

would be only partial success. Therefore the con-
