Cause Of Present Prosperity.
In 1900 the action of the republican party
in turning war commenced for humanity
into war of conquest compelled the con-
sidera ton of another question: question
so far-reaching in it's consequences that our
party rightfully declared 1t to be the para
mount issue. Without abandoning its posi-
ton on the tariff question or on the money
question 1t again espoused the peoples side
Of q great issue. That it did not win that
year was due to conjunction OF causes
any one Of which would have been insult
ficient to have accomplished defeat. The
administration having carried on a brief
and successful war fell heir to the en-
thusiasm which usually attends a victorious
ply of new gold and an unexpected influx
of European gold, due to large crops here
and a famine abroad, increased prices, re-
lieved the stress Of hard times and gave to
the people the benefits that always flow
from a growing volume of money. While
the advantages which followed a large
volume of money INDICATED the principle
commended for by bimetailists they were
appropriated by the party In power, and
those who were Influenced by conditions
without attempting to realize the cendi-
tions, gave the republican party credit for
an increasing prosperity.
