President Mckinley stated a Journal
reporter that Il should BE- n pleasure to
every American citizen to know that
there was a return Of prosperity TO the
country.
THE cause of the present boom In
the west" he said, "ls undoubtedly due
IN a great measure TO the large crops
and high prices caused by the failure
OF crops In other countries. But the
fact that prosperity has set In In the
east cannot be- accounted for IN any
other way than by the wise policy Of
the Republican party In restoring a
protective tariff
"Thc present boom is not spasmod-
teal but win continue 90 increase
