When Prosperity Will Return

We confess to some surprise at the
nnmber of Democratic newspapers which
are complaining that McKinley's cleo
tion has failed to restore prosperity to
The country, even before Mckinley had
been indicted into office. The men and
the poliries which brought such wide
spread disaster upon the country have
still controlled the Government, and
those persons who seem unable to con-
eeive that like conditions must produce
like results are either mental perverts
Or weakliugs worse.
The restoration of confidence conse-
qaent upon the election of Mckinley
prevented cyclone of disaster which
had Bryan been elected, would have
swept this country as a veritable bosom
Of destruction No sincere or sensible
man ever pretended or supposed that
Immediate national prosperity would

a man who has undergone long and
entcebling spell of sickness does not
spring at once into health and yigor the
moment the crisis in his case is passed,
but grows gradually into beautiful con
valcscenee. So it is in business life.
1t must be many months before pros
perity can return to this country but
as soon as our closed factories and work
shops can be opened by protective
tariff and our people put to work the
effect will begin to be felt in every
avenue Of trade. The working people
aie the bone and sinew of this country.
When they are employed in gainfull
pursuits and earning money they are
spending money, and when they are
Idle and impoverished the whole body
polite feels the effects Of their enforced
economy. This it is that has been the
matter with the country the past three
years
Harrison's administration gave us the
high-water mark of national prosperity.
Clegeland's administration has given us
the lowwater mark of industrial degra-
dation and distress. 1t must now be
evident to all that Protection and Pros
periiy 60 hand in hand. while low
tariff is the inevitable precursor of hard
times.
