PROPOSED LEGISLATION

The Republicans in Congress will
fasien the iniqutous single standard
on the people, and will be assisted in
their work 10y a few Democrats(?)
Fiery resolutions will be aimed at
trusts, but they will 20 on "doing BUSH
ness at the old standn
Appropriations, with Gar" about
them, will abound The tariff beak
and claw will be sharpened. Pensions
will be increased. Public buildings, in
favored centres, will be built. The
army of invasion will be increased
The Gar rule will be perpetuated
Elaborate and expensive funeral pro-

The day of promise will begin with

Yes, things are humming in the bu-
siness world just now, and there is a
sO-called prosperity in the land, and
what has made il? The Republican
administration at Washington The
single standard BY no means.
What then? WAR. It is destruc-
tive bat at the same time constructive
factor ia the work of the world
Whence came the multi-millionaire of
the present? Out of the womb of the
most destructive war of modern times.
The two leading nations Of earth, the
United states, and England, are en-
gagged in extensive warfare, and are
also the leading purchasers of earth.
Horses are higher, and mules and
meat, and iron, and canned goods, and
clothing, and vegetables, &c, &c, &c,
because Of extensive warfare. McKin-
ley and his associates created war, and
thus contributed TO the results. This
is wicked, and no good citizens will re-
joice i'm prosperity purchased at such
cost Give us Bryan aud peace, and a
heaven blessed prosperity.
