TIL. record In . Nutshell.

During Nr. Mckinley's admlnistrn-
tlon we have passed from the state OF
n national debtor to that OF n creditor
nation. Instead of borrowing from
Europe. we lend TO Europe. We have
funded debt OF $3i3000,0O0, bearing
4 and AZ, per cent interest, Into bonds
bearing per cent--a less rate than
was ever before realized by any cotin-
try in time OF war-and our new bonds
now command premium OF per
cent, being quoted higher in proportion
than the securities of any European
government. We have collected, with
ont friction. without difficulty aud
without the scandal OF n single DEAL
cation, the largest revenue in our his
tory. During the year ended June 80.
1870, our Internal revenue amounted
To $:295. 3I3. l0157. and the proceeds OF
our tariff on Imports amounted TO $21l,-
V27. 1443o. making grand total OF
1867 ,24O, $3.50. We have created since
March II, this year. 323 new national
banks. These banks have been estab-
lIshed throughout the country-smail
banks. with capitals of 10000 and
$25. 900. distributed among the agricul-
,ural districts. and they give not only
facility, but protection. They are. In
fact, the symbols of our tremendous
progress and development They tell
a tale which, In the estimation of seri-
Gus men, accuses and forever silences
the silly rIgmarole OF the cheap and
shallow exhoners from the stump.
From March, 1893. to March, 1897,
there were 1853 national bank failures.
From March, 1897, to March, 1000. there
were "a failures. He who cannot read
