But there is firm ground for the be-
lief that the country is entering upon
new period of prosperity. The coun--
try unquestionably has prospered as it
never prospered before under republi-
can administrations The party stands
for sound money, for protection to
American industries, for wise recipro-
city, for the fostering of our commerce;
and it's leaders are men of sagacity and
financial wisdom. There is hope ahead.
The Altgelds will have no voice in af-
fairs for the next three or four years at

Mckinley comes into power, moreover,
with good wishes on all sides, His

chief magistrate none question. What

Tribune remarks: Prosperity will
