Gratis to interpose partisan objections to
Republican legislation. Let the party
which has been commissioned to le gislate
have the right of way in carrying out its
pledges.
II the Republicans can bring back pres.
perity by increasing tariff taxes, let
them do so. These taxes will be very
small price to pay for prosperity. II,
however, the tariff fails to bring prosper
ity the Democrats will not be response
BILE for the failure, and the people will
have learned dearly bought lesson in
economics.
We sincerely trust, however, that the
Republicans will be able to restore pros
perity that Mr.. Mckinley will find no
difficulty in opening the mills to labor
and in starting the wheels OF industry.
We should hail and indorse prosperity,
no matter from what direction it may
come, nor by what methods it is brought.
We shall not inquire into its politics, nor
look so fine gift-horse in the mouth.
The people are perfectly willing to sur
render their dearest theories in regard to
finance and the tariff in order to see the
people OF the whole country enjoying
once more the substantial benefits of pros
perity. But prosperity must be the price
of surrender,
All we ask-al the people ask is that
there shall be no delay in the NATTER
Atlanta Constitution.

She caught only fragments. Most
