United States from the tOpmost item of
agriculture products to the lowest item
of manufactured products are higher IN
the markets of the world today than
when the Democratic party went out OF
power by the blow that WIS dealt to II
in November last. Grant that the re-
turn TO prosperity l. slow. Ii Is coming
and everybody knows II Is, and that Is
WHY the Democratic calamity hOwler
stands 1pOn the street corners and
breaches that McKin!ey's prosperity l.
not coming. 1t Is coming. and its
speed will be wonderfully accelerated
when Republican congress. over the
protest of Democratic minority, and
the howl of the mugwump and the ut
teranceS of the mugwump press. shall
have passed a tariff bill under the
pledge of the st Louis convention.

The American people sympathtZe
with the struggling masses OF down
trodden people in Cuba and no man OF
the Repu bhcan party feels more deeply
and sincerely sympathizes with them
than does the president OF the United
States, but he owes duty to the laws
and constitution of the country and
our treaties with foreign nations are
part of the law. and so the president,
omitting no opportunity that could be
Justly reached and justly acted upon,
will not fail to respond TO the cry of
relief from suffering Cubans, but he
will not plunge this country into war
until the means of peace and diplo-
macy have all failed TO vlndlcate the
honor of the nation.
Our friends far and wide are COM
planning of the famous prostitution of
the civil service law TO the base ends OF
spoIlsmen and the aggrandiZent of par

present administration Is heard IN the
land. While the orders of Grover

seized uDOn and appropriated under the
specious andfals cry of civil service re-
form stands uurevoked and unrepealed

will proclaim their allegiance TO the
doctrine of the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver. takIug their stand firmly
upOu the foundation of u 5O-Cent dollar
and the depreciation and degradation
OF the coinage of the country. The peO-
pie Of this country are opposed 20 an

Of the commune They believe In law
and order Let the Democratic party
IN IT. calamity bowling convention dare

archy and resistance OF law and the
people of Ohio Will win victory that

The issues then upon which this
contest l. 70 be fought are the issues of
the platform formed at st. Louis I'm
der 1t we followed our magnificent
leader to a magnificent victory. Under
II we are achieving the results which
we promised. BY It we will stand or

orable defeat. Under its terms we Will
challenge the world and under its terms
we will march TO victory IN November"
