is no light in the world The Demo-
cratic calamity bowler, because his
party With its past record and its pres
ent theories. has been crushed hy the
American people, cannot see that the
country is marching on in progress and
prosperity, but must insult our intell-
sence With his constant wailins. He is
blind to the restored confidence. the i'll
creased business. and the better Time
throughout the land. He is blind t.
the fewer failures, the great increase in
exports. the growing revenues. the un
Drecedented gold reserve. and the gen
eral prosperity of the country. He is
blind to the general rule, and secs only
,hc exception; blind to national cpndi-
tions, and sees only abnormal local
isms. Instead of joining the process
sion, he hides behind the fence ami
throws dirt which the wind blows back
