can leaders are now apologizing to
the people for the non-arrival Of
that "wave of prosperity.' The
fraud has become so raw and so
numerous have become those who
are vigorously kicking at the gable
end of their anatomy because they
supported Mckinley last fall, that
something must be done to check
the rising tide of adverse public
sentiment. If apologies and gauzy
excuses will do it, the republican
party may hope to fool the Ameri-
can people again, but will they?
Let us look back for a period of
six or eight months and examine
some of the false and delusive
promises made by the republican
party to fool the common people
into voting for their own oppres-
sion. TO start with we reprint an
extract taken from the Omaha Bee
of October "A, 1896. The Bee is
the acknowledged organ of Ne
braska republicanism and it said:
Capital-a!ways cautious-is especially SO
at this time. Therefore, while there has
been some improvement in quarters wherr
confidence in republican success is strongest.
the general disposition is to keep on a conser-
vative course pending the result of the cleo
ton. Ii that shall be what the financial, in
dustrial and commercial interests Of the coun-
Try hope for. there can be no doubt that 1t
will be IMMEDIATELY followed by a gen.
cal movement toward business recovery and
prosperity.
Elect Mckinley and the "wave
Of prosperity would hit us imme-
diately!-IMMEDIATELY! Then in
its issue of October IS, the Bee
said:
The election of Mckinley means the
dawning OF a new ora of prosperity. When
merchants place orders with jobbers to be
filled only If Mckinley is elected as they
are doing every day and everywhere, it is
because they know McKinley's election will
mean an IMMEDIATE stimulus to business,
while his defeat W, uld make 1t questionable
whether any business could be proftably
conducted.
Thus the bright future was pic
tured to a struggling people.
Elect Mckinley and IMMEDI-
ATELY the country would start
on the broad road to the new Teru-
salem! Then on October RI the
Bee got enthusiastic and printed
the following:
Millions upon millions Of dollars no. tied
up will be re easel and put into business
a gam when Mckinley is elected. Manulac-
turers and wholesalers are holding orders rep
resen'ing millions of dollars CONDITION.
ED ON THE ELECTION OF MCKIN-
LEY, in which event many factories will be
started up.
And then came the Bees .shnal
appeal for Nebraska voters to SUP
port the ''advance agent of pros
perI,y' in which it SAID:
Let Omaha and Nebraska speak out in nc
uncertain tones for Mckinley and soune
money, and We shall witness a revival O
prosperity BY TIE TINE THE PRESI
DENT IS INAUGURATED. such as W,
have never seen before.
And what do the readers Of TIKI
UNION think of these republican
campaign promises by this time.
If you are dissatisfied with thu
present "revival Of prosperity
get your republican friend to salts
factorily explain these promise
for you. But to pass on.

have been cut and want now lin
gers in homes once bright and
happy. There is the promised
''buslness BOOM that was to set
in ''immediately after election"
This "boom' still continues with
nothing better in sight. What do
do you think of it?
Then on October "a, that same
advocate of repuulicanism said:
The election will bring a BUSINESS EN-
PANSlON which promises to equal that Of
the most prosperous periods Of the past,
Without stopping to comment
On the ''business expansion" that
has been expanding SO expansively
since McKinley's election, we call
attention to the following also from
the Globe-Democrat of October
81, Just before election:
The business men are wisely doing their
marching pow, as they won't have any time
for that sort OF thing after Mckinley's cleo
ton o account of INCREASED TRADE.
But why produce more of these
extracts? Every little penny-grab
republican sheet and small bore
political stumper in the country
was bubbling over with them.
That was before election. Since
that time the silence of republican
papers on the t'revlval'' that has
resulted from McKinley's election
has been almost oppressive.
Now the proposition resolves it.
self into this form: The promises
made to the American people by
the republican party have been
kept and fulfilled, or they have
been broken and the interests of
the masses betrayed. Which has
it been? Look at the condition of
the country and judge for yourself.
The evidences of fraud, deception
and political trickery are now too
plain. And now when the perhdy
of the republican party is laid bare
the press of the party comes for
ward with apologies and excuses
for the past and begs for ':more
time" Before election nothing
was said about time. Then it was
''anything to beat Bryan" and
with the aid of every trust and cor
poration Mckinleyism triumphed
on this siren song of "prosperity."
With the deception which has now
become SO plain, is it any wonder
that the victims of this political
betrayal rise up and confront the
party with its broken promises?
Give the republican party more
time and it will demonstrate more
lily than ever it's subsection to
the allied moneyed interests of the
country and It's hostility to the
best interests of those who toll.
Give this party all the time it de-
, sires to further demonstrate these
things. Then look for a day Of
reckoning IN 1900. The triumph
of republlcanism on the third da,
of November, 1896, will prove the
dearest victory ever bought b,
that party since ITS earliest or gam
cation.
