mense strike had been predicted
last Fall to follow the election Il
would have been booted by the
Republican orators ss preposterous,
and silly in the highest degree.

that the hardest times ever known
would follow the defeat OF Dir.

election last Fall was won partially
upon the positive assurance that
the success of the single Gold stan.
dard policy, and the passage Of o
protective Tariff Bill would usher
in al era Of prosperity such ~ we
had never had. The Tariff Bill Is
assured, but the "Bra of Prospect.

realize how drcsdfully they have
been deceived. 1t 10 estimated by
