William Mckinley. The work of undoing the
mischief wrought upon American industry by
the last Democratic administration, is being

admiration. The wisdom of Republican
congress cannot be too highly commended
for it's efforts in providing such remedial leg
islatiGn as is necessary to reform abuses grow
ing out Of Democratic misrule, to supply the
wants Of exhausted treasury and repair
the damages produced by the gross misman-
agenent of national finances, by enacting
tariff which afforded neither protection
revenue, and was destructive of the interests
of the wage Garner. a
In the broader field of our relations with
patriotic action in applying American doctrines
and principles to all questions relating thereto,

and prestige from the humiliation brought
uEon through the weakness and incapacity
Of Democratic policy. ~. 49,.
