creased from $50 .s2302i in 1896 10
$Il .s2s.5,5 in 1902 This in itself would
indicate general railroad prosperity dur

the salaries paid general officers. The

In 1SGo when the Republican party
first came into power this was almost
exclusively an agricultural country and
the policy of the Democratic party was
TO keep it so. That party said the
United States is destined to be the gran
ary of the world. but a manufacturing
country. never. The Republican policy
was to make it a great manufacturing as
well as agricultural county. and II has
done So In the year 1900 the United
States produced oue-third Of all the man
ufactured products of the world and
shipped them broadcast to foreign mar
kets- This never could have been done
under the Democratic policy of free
frado
