say that II was "A fortunate thing the
war department granted the governors
request. With our limited hospital
room at Island Lake we should have
been swamped, and where a few Of the
boys have died while being taken care
of in the splendid city hospitals, the
number who would have succumbed
would have been frightful to think of.
The story Of the terrible condition of

anything about that and the people

clude our vanished merchant marine in
their list This is something in regard
to which both imperialists and anti.
imperialists ought to agree. The time
was when the American flag was seer
in every port. We want the time ia
come again when the American faa
will float on every sea and in every
corner Of every sea; when every port
will be bright with the Stars and
Stripes. The greatest manufacturers
nation on earth should have a mer
chan, marine to carry its products to
every corner of the globe. The great.
est grain exporting country in the
world should send its own ships. The
people who use more Of the world'A
products than any other equal number
Of people on the globe should bring
those products home under their own
flag. Il system of discriminating du

shipping would bring all this to pass.

The country at this time simply can,
not afford to have the control Of the
lower house of the next Congress pass
Into the hands of the opposition. The
present Congress has been hampered
by free silver majority in the Sen
ate and has not been able to pass the
financial legislation needed to COM
plete the reform of our financial sys-
tenn ard make the future absolutely
secure. 1t now looks as II the next
Senate would be certainly Republi-
can. Enough gains have been made
or are indicated to assure at least q
sound money majority. With tho
House Republican the needed financial
legislation can be and will be enacted.
With the House in the hands of the
opposition financial chaos and uncse~
tainty will reign for another TIVE

and worse than useless has come capt.
tai flowing into channels which add to
the strength, prosperity aud wealth Of
the whole country; from 81 Dom we
are In the light and from despair we
are happy. But this Is not all. From
an isolated nation. living within itself,
seeking only the development Of its
own resources and unknown In the
politics and policies of other countries,
we have become, by series Of vic
tories which surpass the achievements
on sea or on land Of any period, a
great world power.
The wheat Of the Pacific coast will
go to the Orient instead OF to Liver

and orderly liberty, following the flag.
will bestow inestimable benefits upon
distant semi-barbarous and alien races.
There will be to our own people the
reciprocal benefits which come from
1,0OO, 100000 instead Of 7O.0OOOOO OF
people wanting the products Of our
soil, the results Of our agriculture, the
output Of our mines and the surplus
of our mills, cur factories and our fur
naces.
The growing friction between the
east and the west has disappeared.
The dude respected the plains and
the cowboy cheered III New York are
only evidences Of far deeper and
most beneficial sentiment
The bugabOo of the scarcity Of gold
to meet the standard of the world has
disappeared In the increased supply.
The demand for the precious metal
stimulated activity and discovery and
the American mines alone have
doubled their output in the last year,
while a similar result is found In the
gold coming from the markets Of the
world from fresh discoveries in Africa
and Australia.
We rejoice In the strengthened bonds
of national union. 1t was wise states
manship and fervid patriotism which
commissioned as generals of our army
in the war with Spain Joe Wheeler
and Fitzhugh Lee. The faded gray Of
the confederacy became a souvenir Of
a cause CALAMITY fought for and hap
PLY lost, and the blue Of the republic
mighty and imperishable by the loyal
ty and love of all its citizens.

Our imports have decreased $14S,OOO.-

anxious to move only for the right He
was not anxious for war, no matter
how much war might do toward
achieving glory for the Adm1nistra-

ed Spain should be punished for her
iniquities he gathered and hurled the

ond at the end Of four years found not
only the promises unfulhlled. but on
the contrary realized that the country

that fully 70 per cent Of the people
themselves were reduced TO absolute
poverty.
The old party now hobs up once
more with the same promises on Its
