THE SENATOR'S ADDRESS.
Senator Beveridge's speech was almost
two hours long, the greater part of it be-
ing devoted to our present prosperity and
the method by which it can be continued.
He said that it could not be continued by
any formula of administration, but that q
continuing prosperity depended upon con-
stantly adding to the markets for Ameri-
can products. This, he said, "is the
purpose of the Republican party. It In
vents new policies to meet new and
changed conditions. 1t is the party OF
commercial growth as we'll as territorial
growth That Is why Republican admin

ester."
Said the senator: "Look at the record
of which every man here has personal
knowledge; 1880 to 1884 the Republican
party and prosperity; 1884 to 1888 the Dem

times; 1883 to 1892, the Republican party,
Harrison and prosperity; 1892 to 1885, the
Democratic party and the consumma ton
of hard times; 1896 to 1900 the Republican
party, William Mckinley and the highest
tide Of prosperity that has ever swept
around the world. And now, with an au-
dacity that is astonishing the Democratic
party asks to let 1t once more manage our
affairs, and he is candidate for hunger
who favors that management of certain
disaster at home and certain dishonor
abroad
Senator Beveridge analysed at length

prosperity might be continued He sale
that the present prosperity could not be
continued merely by standing still; II
could not be continued by going back.
ward, as the Democratic party proposed
It could only be continued by going for

for American energy. He said, There
