mo single fact can more strikingly
tell the story of what Republican gov
eminent means to the country than
! this-that while during the whole per-
I iOd of 81 years from 1901 to 1897, there
was an excess of exports over imports
of only $3.50. OBS 497. there has been in
the short three years of the present Re

Claim Party Credit in War.
''No thought of national aggrandize-
ment furnished the high purpose with
which American standards were I'M
/ furled. Il was a war unSOught and pa
/ tiently resisted, but when it came the
! American government was ready. It's
/ fleets were cleared for action. It's arm
| les were in the field and the quick and
/ signal triumph of it's forces on land
! and sea bore equal tribute to the cOur-
/ age of American soldiers and sailors
and, to the foresight of Republican
craftsmanship. To ten millions of the
! human race there was given 3 new
! birth of freedom" and to the American
people a new and noble responsibility.
Mckinley is Endorsed.
We endorse the administration of
William Mckinley. It's acts have been
J hi in ricIO nd in f.
/ ism and at home and abroad it has dis
/ tinctly elevated ana extended the in
/ fluence of the American nation. Walk
I ing uGtried paths and facing unfore-
! seen responsibilities, President McK1n-
/ ley has been in every situation the true
/ American patriot and upright states
man, clear in wisdom. strong in judg-
ment, firm in action, always inspiring
and deserving the confidence of his
| cOuntrymen.
Condemnation For Democrats.
In asking the American people to
! indOrse this Republican record and to
! renew their commission to the Repub-
| hcan party, we remind them of the fact
that the menace to the prosperity has
] always resided in Democratic princi-
pies and no less in the general inca
/ pacity of the Democratic party TO con-
! duct public affairs. The prime essential
of business prosperity is public conf
dence in the good sense of the govern
ment and its ability to deal inteliigently
| with all new problems of adminlstra-
ton and legislation. That confidence
the Democratic party has never earned.
It is hopelessly inadequate and the
icOuntry's prosperity when Democratic
/ success at the polls is announced, hats
and ceases in mere anticipation OF
! Democrats plumbers and failures.
As to Interest Rates.
Eve renew our allegiance to the
principle of the gold standard, and de-
clare our confidence in the wisdom OF
the legislation of the Fifty-siXth con-
gress by which the parity Of all of our
| money and the stability Of our cur
rency on a gold b5 SIS has been Sc
cured We recognize that interest
rates are a potent factor in production
and business activity, and for the pur-
pose of further eQuanZing and OF fur-
Their lowering the rates of interest we
favor such monetary legislation as VIII
enable the varying needs OF the season
and of all sections to be properly met
in order that trade may be evenly sus-
tanned, labor steadily employed and
commerce enlarged. The volume of
/ money in circulation was never so
great per capita as it is today. We
declare our steadfast opposition to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
No measure to that end could be con-
sidered which was without the sup
: port of the leading commercial coun-
tries of the world.
However. firmly Republican legisla-
; ton may seem to have secured the
country against the peril of base and
! discredited currency, the election of a
Democratic president could not fail tC
: impair the country's credit and to bring
. once more into question the intention
! of the American people to maintain
upon the gold standard the parity OF
their money circulation. The Demo
cratic party must be convinced thai
! the American people viii never tolerate
the Chicago platform.
Straddle on Trusts.
I'VE recognize the necessity and pro
priety Of the honest cooperation Of
capital to meet new business conditions
and especially to extend our rapidly in
creasing foreign trade, but we con
: denim all cOnspiracies and combinations
intended to restrict business, to create
mOnOpOlies, to limit production or tt
D control prices and favor such legisla-
ton as will effectually restrain anC
prevent all such abuses, protect anC
! promote competition and secure the
: rights Of producers, labOrers and al
i who are engaged in industry and com
merce.
