 MT Butler is a man of large analrs; He Is a citizen of North Carolina, anu has an office in New York Somn,fsoh fnr- mort is that he has grsppled with TOT tune and thrown her. and he IS now q man of wealth. A few years ago butler thought it was agin' the laws TOT p;v p;r, man to make money. Fortunately TOT hitl'' Congress paid no attention to his preacn- ments. and it is equally fortunate TOT tne country that he. Peffer. Alien, nihpsoh' Tillman and Bryan could only talk
 Now. Butter is enjoying Republican pros perfty. 1t might have been Democratic if the Democratic Party in the two houses of Congress had followed the iedu anu @ carried out the suggestions ana reeoi mendations of the Democratic Presiuent. I don't suppose there is anybody Who would have the hardihood to deny that. The thing is so plain that the w&Sy & T, rns t man, though a fool. can see It, me he publican Party came along and did what inc Democratic Party failed and refuseo to do-put the public credit on ni founda tion The country went to Wofh and prosperity came.
 When Cleveland was elected in 1892. the country had been doing remenuous business. and too much of 1t was specuia- ton. Millions were thrown away puiu,he niiSnine city in corn field in Kansas. Mlouie- borough, Ky., swallowed up other mil- lions Hundreds of villages strove 10 De cities and staked off additions. ana thus sold corn fields at city-lot prices. NatuIai gas discoveries afforded other opportu- .OxN of debt Ali that was found to fetcn panic sooner or later. The panic was hastened by the passage or the sherman silver law. Four years more or tna~ dcl

 bonds over the protest Of the Bryan laSa Sa
 Bryanites. with the aid Of Repuolicans, | voted $160O0, ,00O into the coffers o1 tne l bondholders by the refusal to write the
 word gold in the contract. Tn my Juogf | ment. that was the very greatest act of | open. patent. defiant folly in the history | of legislation on this hemisphere

 Grover Cleveland was the man for thls oc-
 casion. He throttled revolution Tn Chi- | cago Amid the curses of his party nt | sold bonds for gold Denounced up hll | and down dale for 1t. he entered into

 When liquidation was completed, anc the poicv to maintain the parity or golC | and silver coin established, there wa: l nothing else for the country to do excep | to go to work and prosper.
