POLICIES or M,K1NnEY.

Therefore. ask you tonight to look at
the results of the policies championed by
President Mckinley on both the occasions
when he appealed to the people for their
suffrage and to see how well that appeal
is justified by the event Most certainly I
do not claim all the good that has befallen
us during the past six years as due solely
to any human policy.
No legislation, however wise. no admin
istration, however efficient can secure
prosperity to a people or greatness to a
nation. All that can be done by the law
maker and the administrator is to give the
best chance possible for the people of the
country themselves to show the stun that
Is in them. No law can make a fool wise
weakling strong, coward brave, but
good laws and good administration of the
laws can give to strong, honest brave men
chance TO do well. President Mckinley
was elected in 1896 on the specific pledge
that he would keep the financial honor or
the country untarnlshed and would put our
economic system on a stable basis, so that
our people might be given chance to Sc
cure the return Of prosperity.
