Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1902-06-19

question is whether he republican
party S to be kept N control of this
government or whether it will be
turned 'ver to the obstructionists
Ihe democratic party. believe that
these good people Of ours will not run
the isk Of such change. When they
lo9k BACK IN recent history they will
see that few Yeas ago during the
lasL two years OF the Cleveland admin
istratlon in time Of peace the nation
al Indebtedness was made s35, 900, 900,
they will reLlember hat time when
capital no longer sought investment,
ana when labor was no longer en-
ployed. People with such an expert
exec will not run the risk Of turning
the national house # representatives
ever to the democratic party.
In 1896 at the republican conven-
tiCn we pronounced that If the repub-
lean party was restored to power
there would be change for the better.
That party has Kept its promise. You
elected that NOBLE man William Nc
Klnley, to the Presidency OF the
United States. Within Two weeks
after his inaug1fation The famous
ringley bill was presented to congress
tnd It passed both houses and became
law. You KNOW the result Of that
ne~ tariff bill. Industry was at once
revived, labor fo@nd employment and
the country entered upon career OF
prosperity and happiness never before
witnessed in this patton or in any
ether on the face Of the globe
The party made other promises also
ana they tuo nave been carried out.
Every United States dollar that you
have in your pocket today is the equal
Of the god dollar in the money mar
kets # the world. Every man KNOWS
that there Will be no deprt ciati u OF
value on any dollar ne has in his
possession.
Within fourteen months after MT.
Mckinley was iuaugarated there ar
ose new problems which caused the
party trouble. We en- cred upon a
war for which we were unprepared,
but it was short and decisive strug
rle 1t was lot for political aggran'
d ,ement nor territorial conquest that
the war was brought, 1t became a
necessity for every ether reason.
With Porto Rico we acquired a
great responsibility which has been
glcriously guarded and ioday peace and
pros Jerity reign in that beautiful
southern Isle,
Then, too. there is Cuba. We
promised not only TO give them indie
nendence but to give them self govern
mert. The democrats Claimed that
mis- was not our purpose. What has
heen the result? That pledge has
been sacredly protected. We not only
gave cuba her independence, but on
Thp 18th Of last month she adopted
her own government with her own
o(,icers from her own people, and en-
tered upon period Of prosperity.
