the following address to tho people;
-Four years ago at tho close Of n campaign
marked by great earrcstness and candor Of dis
cussion, ! felt justified in appealing 10 all voters
Of the United States, irrespective OF party, TO
sst their vote. for William Mckinley To-day
tAe conditions even more clearly Justify a
similar appeal Then the currency of tho
country was threatened In open and explicit
terms. and this threat was recognized as en-
dangering the savings OF wage earncrs, tho
prosperity Of the farmer. the activity Of tho
manufacturer and the safety of tho business
man Coupled with this was the threat of
Interference with the iudlciaH and the proper
administration of law and order, and this On
dangered the very life Of the nation
-Four years ago the country and the people
were experiencing n condition Of financial
distress such as this generation had never
witnessed, and tho Republican party believed
that legislation which would euouurag" home
industries while IL assured a sound financial
system would restore prosperity 10 all olaNso'
Withthis belief an appeal was mnd" to al voters,
irrespective Of party. and their Response elected
william Mckinley by the largest plurality ever
known. with a single exception, and also a
Republican Congress
Following the legislation which resulted
came prosperity such as this country has never
known. Official reports ~ the Department
Of Labor show that wages have riscn Ia a higher
rate than ever before IN this country, Wher"
labor receives the highest reward. and Tn"
demand for labor In all lines Of industry was
never greater. The reports Of the railva
show n larger number OF men employed Than
ever before Reports Of savings banks show
that the workiugmou and women oi III" ANA

tors has increased $4,000 with this increase

posited In bank. Commerce and employment
have expanded. tho exports of all classes have
exceeded those Of any former administration.
and the American hag la, been carried across
the Pacific and the door al IN" ORIENT opened
TO our civilization and products
yet after these three years of unparalleled
advancement the people are asked To undo
all that has been done and TO accept all the
dangerous propositions which thoy four years
AGO rejected. and with them others equally
dangerous and humiliating, B. the rcadopt-
ton ut Kansas city Of the Chicago platform
81 1895 all its dangerous doctrines OF financial
dishonor, Reputation and disorder are re-
opened, and a. II to emphasize the menace
which free silver offered To every industry.
Ind especially to our wage carner-. that par
ticular feature of the platform was rcailrmed
in the most explicit terms possible, Thus
every danger threatened Toy the united par
ties of distress, discomfort and dishonor in
1894 il assured in 1900 If their appeals for re-
c~osnition are honored by the people Of our
present prosperous country.
But this is not all. Not only IL it proposed
that our universal prosperity shall he aband-
onei. employment curtail"i, the savings or
the citizen and the earnings Of the working
man cut in half by an unsound finance and a
policy of lavlessnesS and disorder encouraged.
but the record Of American valor achieved in
an unavoidable war for humanity. aud the very
honor of the American flag are to be abandoned.

another race and an onen door for closer re-
latlons with other millions who seek our Trend
ship and commerce are to he abandoned, the
American flag hauled down in the face Of trclch-
erous opposition. and a new policy, moro costly,
