SOLID corfort

gone before. We have passed from
bond issuing to bond paying nation;
from a nation of borrowers to a nation
of lenders, from deficiency in revenue
to surplus; from fear to confidence;
from enforced idleness to profitable
employment. The public faith has
been upheld; public order has been
maintained. We have prosperity at
home and prestige abroad. Unfcrtu-
nately the threat Of 1896 has Just been
renewed by the allied parties without
abatement or modification. The gold
bill has been denounced and its repeal
demanded. The menace of 16 to 1
therefore still hangs over us with all
its dire consequences to credit and con-
fidence, in business and industry. The
enemies of sound currency are rally
ing their scattered forces. The people
must once more unite and overcome
the advocates of reputation and must
not relax their energy until the battle
for public honor and honest money
shall again triumph in congress
which Will sustain and if need be,
strengthen the present law and prevent
n financial catastrophe which every
lover Of the republic is interested to
avert.
Not satisfied with assaulting the cur
rency and credit of the government our
political advcrsaries condemn the tar
iff law enacted at the extra session Of
congress in 1897, known as the Dingley
act passed in obedience to the will of
the people expressed at the election in
the preceding November-a law which
mt once stimulated our industries, open
ed the idle factories and mines and
gave TO the laborers and to the farm
ers fair returns for their toll and in
vestment. Shall we so back to a tar
iff which brings deficiency in our rev
enues, and destruction to our indus
trial enterprises?
Faithful to its pledges in these inter-
nal affairs how has the gov
ernment discharged its inter
national duties? Our platform of 1900
declared; THE Hawaiian islands
should be controlled by the United
States and no foreign power should be
permitted to interfere with them"
This purpose has been fully accom-
plished by annexation, and delegates
from these beautiful islands participat-
ed in the convention for which you
speak today.
In the great conference of nations at
The Hague we reaftirmed before the
world the Monroe doctrine and our ad,
herence TO 1t and our determination
not TO participate in the complications
Of Europe. We have happily ended the
European alliances in Samoa, securing
to ourselves one of the most valuable
harbors IN the Pacific ocean, while the
open door in China gives to us fair aud
equal competition in the vast trade of
that, the Orient. Some things have
happened which We're not promised,
nor ever foreseen, and our purposes in
relation to them must not be left In
doubt. A just war has been waged
for humanity aud with it have come
now problems and responsibilities.
