III law was enacted. II has served we'll
Es purpose. It Instantly gave eonn-
denee to enterprise. Quickened de-
pressed industries, and the signs and
evidences OF commercial activity were
soon witnessed on every hand. Domes-
tic commerce took on new energy and
life. ana our foreign trade soon reached
and passed the hlsh.water mark Of the
successful and splendid administration
OF Benjamin Harrison.
The determination OF the admlnls.
tratlon to preserve inviolate the public
faith and infexibly uphold the gold
standard gave an assurance and conf
denoe to commerce that had all OF the
potency OF the most solemn congress
sionh enactment Commerce knew
that no ehlmeTicd monetary schemes
would be allowed to corrupt or tarnish
the circulating medium while the pros
ent administration was In power. It
knew that free silver coinage was. for
the time being at least. as dead as the
Rameses ana that in the light OF prac-
tlcal experience the American people
could not soon be hd to adopt any Of
the current financial sophlstrles and
heresies.
Prosperity came. IL came TO the

exceptional abundance. II came by
the assurance OF wise and conserva.
tive administration. by the enactment
OF wholesome laws, by the subtle touch
Of the magic wand OF eonhdence-con-
fidence, which in the final analysis is
the source OF all progress, all success,
and without which there is stagnntlon
and death. II come contrary TO many
tervent and unwise predictions. It
came through the harmonious cooper
alton Of the three agencles-a prutec-
tive tariff. the gold standard and a
sound, patriotic administration.
Were the present administration
committed to debased free silver cur
rency and to free trade. the splendid
transformation We have witnessed
would have been an utter and absolute
impossiblllty. and the calamlties from
which we have successfully and hap
PLY escaped would have been but null
tiplled.
There were, indeed, domestic ques-
tlcns numerous and grave enough to
absorb the attention OF the adminlstra-

Of international problems OF more than
usual gravity.
