The war being over. II devolved upon
the Republican party che Democratic
party being still on vacation) to effect
the national recuperatlon. How well
they accomplished this task let the
prosperity which followed on the heels
OF this terrible war attest. And this
prosperity was distinctly traceable TO
the wise tariff Legislation of the party
which fostered and dignified labor and
called capital from its vaults. indus
tries and enterprises hitherto unknown
sprang into magical life. Prosperity
nbounded everywhere except i'm the
Democracy. 1t then became the mis-
sion of the Republicans to keep faith
with the creditors of the nation who
had stood by it in the years of its ex-
trcmity. Wealth increased and pros
perity prevailed in spite of the protests
of the Democracy. In vain did the poor
old party contend that any number of
pieces of paper were any number of
dollars If the Government only said Sc.
The credit strengthening Act of 1868
was the final blow to the fond Demo-
cratic scheme of reputation. Then
gold hitherto hidden commenced cir
culation in the channels of trade. The
Republican party had achieved human
equality, manhood suffrage, national
progress. national prosperity and ma
tional honor and credit. Even Demo-
Gratis, who thoroughly despise prosper
ity, became wealthy. The prosperity
fostered by the Republican party has
been continuous with occasional inter-
walls of depression from overproduction.
Its policy has been consistent as well
as progressive. Its platforms have
never been contradictory. They have
never been trimmed to accommodate
the dictates of expediency. 1t is true
that in the uneXampled prosperity
which has ensued trusts have sprung
up. In an extremely fertile soil weeds
grow as we'll as grass. l believe that
the Republican party can be trusted
to cope with the evils resulting from
unlawful combinations inimical to the
general welfare, and one of the first
steps taken in this direction will be
the keeping of certain Democratic
oil magnate from presiding over the
next Senate. In the brief time allotted
to me l have merely given hints of
the glorious history of a party which
went into power forty-four years ago,
and has been continuously in control
with the exception of eight years. Let
the Democratic party derive all the
consolation it can from those deplorable
eight years I have shown you the wis
dom, the patriotism, the ability and
the honor of the Republican party. III
the eye could only dwell forever upon
this glowing vision! But alas the
Democracy heaves in signu every four
years. With coat of more colors than
that of Joseph. with garment of more
patches than has crazy quilt, 1t comes
to solicit aims from voters. Every
campaign develops a fresh platform
sometimes hard money, sometimes soft
| money, sometimes tariff for revenue
only and sometimes free trade. In only
one thing is it consistent-its I'M
quenchable desire to hold office. 1t de-
parted from power before l was sweet
! sixteen and / expect to be sweet one
hundred and sixteen before it's return
to the same.
Voters of Hawaii, the Republican
party Graves your suffrages. 1t came
into power in an area of stagnation, oil
wildcat banks and worthless money OF
foment and discord, of slavery and
treason, and has brought peace, free
labor, equality, progress and prosperity
to the country. 1t has placed us in
the foremost rank of nations. Our hid
den treasures have been mined. Our
mills are continually running, the con-
tented farmers harvest crops which
yield adequate returns, our trains
transport and distribute our products
our ships dot the sea, our market Is
the world and happy homes cluster on
hillside. valleys and plains. The Re-
publican party has worked miracles in
the United States and it can accomplish
wonders here. Hasten to enroll your
selves as units in this grand organiza-
/. ton before the Democrats catch you.
