consumption is increased. There is no
longer question of ample revenue or of
a sufficient redemption fund in the
treasury.
Our currency seems to be as safe as
it ever has been. Under Republican
administration each dollar as good as
every other dollar and worth 100 cents
in gold, the currency of the world. We
have emerged from the darkness and
gloom CT the night in the bright sun
shine of Republican prosperity. Our
Democratic friends say that Provi-
dence is responsible for this.
You will observe, however, that
Providence and the supremacy and
over of the Republican party have al
ways moved simultaneously along the
same lines.
Our Democratic friends have always
claimed to be reaching out for the mar
kets of the world. but our people have
never made greater strides in that d.
rection than since the passage of the
tariff act of 1897.
The speaker proceeded with figures
to demonstrate the truth of the state
ment.
But this vast commerce is carried in
foreign ships. he declared, and we must
encourage and build up our merchant
marine.
Our currency, he continued, has an
swered every purpose under Republic
can administrations, whenever our
party has been in power. Since the re-
sumption, there has never been any
question about any dollar issued by the
government of the United States.
There never will be any question so
long as our party remains in power.
But we must so further and provide
for the contingency of a Democratic
executive We must make it safe that
no Democrat or Populist in the White
House can verimpair the national cred
it or lowerthe standard of the American
dollar. To do this, it is indispensable
that we have a Republican House and
Republican Senate. This is a nation
al issue of paramount Importance. 1t
cannot be said that there is no longer
any danger from those who would de-
base the currency and pay our obliga.
lions in fifty-three cent dollars.
Speaking Of the war the chairman
said:
That the President would have ac-
complished his humane purpose with
the loss of single American life,
have no doubt were it not for unex-
pected events. The destruction Of the
Maine. with the loss of 266 of her gal
liant crew, did not swerve the President
from his humane purpose and the peo-
pie waited calmly for the investigation
which followed. 1t was only when the
disaster was traced to treachery that
we all understood fully the baseness
of the Spanish character. and as one

NEARLY $4,000
Secured by Bold Bank Rob-
bers at Flora, Ohio.
They Blow the Building and Safe to
Pieces with Dynamite.
Two Of Robbers Captured and Most Of the
Money Recovered.

Cincinnati, Sept. GA special to the
Times Star from Frankfort, Ind, says:
One of the boldest and most successful
bank robberies that ever occurred in
this section of the state was perpe-
trated ut Flora, small town 10 miles
north of this city, at 8 o'clock this
morning. The bank is private corpo-
ration. with VIM. Lannum acting as
cashier.
At the hour named he was awakened
by the noise of terrific explosion
which shattered the windows of his
residence. SO yards from the bank.
Arising and going to the bank, which
was a brick building. he found the en-
tire building demolished. AS he start
ed inside he was fired on by some I'M
known party with shot gun, the
charge taking effect in his face and
blowing out one eye.
The noise of the explosion aroused
the town and crowd collected. IT
was soon learned that the bank safe
had been blown to pieces with dyna-
mite. pieces of it having been blown
across the street. The robbers secured
between $12, 900 and $4,000.
Cashier Lannum probably will die.
The robbers escaped upon a hand car
which they left at Sedalia, five miles
north of here. The whole country is
aroused and the robbers will hardly
escape.

Temporary. Chairman Congressman
Serene Payn said:
When we met two years ago we were
on the eve of great national struggle.
The issues then We're the most mcmen-
tous ever presented to the American
people. The Popuiists had captured
the Democratic organizat ton at Chi
cago and had entered upon savage
warfare against law and order, the
maintenance of public faith by ample
revenues and safe and stable cur
rency. We nearly overturned the
Democratic majority in the United
States Senate. we triumphanty elected
Republican House of Representa-
tiveS and we placed in the White
House wise and patriotic statesman,
William Mckinley.
Two years of his administration have
passed into history. and we are soon
to face another election. Now our
friends, the enemy, tell us that they
have lost all interest in national af-
fairs. They propose to make a cam
paign upon state issues solely.
They evidently fear to face the peo-
PIE on their national record. Having
no recent record on state affairs. they
are willing to go before the people on
that issue. The Democratic party is
never happy as when it can escape
looking into its own past. They say
there are no national issues. Why We
are to elect national Senator and 80
representatives in Congress Who will
deal with questions as important as
any as ever received the attention of
the national Congress.
No man can adequately describe the
condition of our business affairs when
we entered the contest in 1896, bpt
since the passage of the Dinghy bill a
marvellous change has come over the
business of the country. Mills have
started up. furnace fires have re-
kindled, the worlsingmen are busy, the
opportunities FOR labor have multiplied,
wages have increased, capital is seek
ing and finding profitable investment,
railroads are discharging their receiy-
ers and are crowded with business.
