Gen. Sherwood closed by showing
what would have happened to this coun
try he'd Bryan been elected 1--WE woult

prosperity he sail, because all tn
conditions-f.ilure of crops abroad,

best business year for half csntur
especially as We have had restricted pro

had been elected Cuba would have bee
free, government by ipjunctio1 woul
have teen impossible, anG all productiv
enterprises would have teen on boom
and the iileness, immortality, crime, sui
eide and general dependency that no,
prevails among the middle classes of thi
country would have been swept away.
