MIR. DAVEY'S SPEECH.
Mr.. Davey claimed that Republi-
cans had brought prosperity. He
pointed To that TumOred Kansas car
OF cancelled mortgages, ignoring the
1act :hat the state had been under
the rule Of the Peoples party for some
time, and had been blessed with an
enormous harvest, while Europe had
been cursed with a famine. He did
not speak of the low price of cotton or
The highly protected price of two
ceut prunes. He said that between
'73 and '9l we had had some great
prosperity but he did not mention the
great army OF unemployed estimated
from Two 10 four millions that came
up during that time or the strikes
nor Ihe conditions that greatly low
cred the per cent of the middle or in.
dependent class Of people that are
known as the back Zone of the coun
Try. lie admitted that before the

dollars were above par and said silver

supplied than demanded.
but lie did not seem to realize that
thls demand was lessened by the ma
Clons ol the world limiting its coin
age and legal tender quality. He said
II was The people that were RESPONSE

Stanced that they were not using the |

that the people of no nation on earth |
nave demanded the discrimination |
against silver, but it has been done |
oy tnose Ia power without appeal |
Ing TO their constituents on the sub |

Jhlng that the Republicans had the
management of this war with Spain.

Jlon came from Henry Clews and his
