OF wool, in three chief markets, from
2l2,00O,O0O pounds to 107,OOO.GJ0
pounds, although the price of wool
went lower than the lowest ever re-
ported In May, just after Mr.. Cleve-
lands Inauguration, the weekly produc
ton of pig iron was 1S1 900 tons. In
October it had fallen to $4,000 tons"
1t is difficult to understand the men
| tai processes responsible for these re-
markable conclusions. Mr. Cleveland
| was not inaugurated until Siarch /,
1893. What policy could he have in
augurated in the first year OF his last
| administration TO bring about these
results? If Mr.. Cleveland had been
the most radical of statesmen and had
been surrounded at Washington by
sympathetic supporters Of the most
violent type be could not, by any ad-
ministrative policy, have produced the
fearful financial and industrial havoc
this country knew in 1898.
The fact is the panic was already on
the country when Mr.. Cleveland and
his party took charge OF the govern
ment. Students of economic conditions
had detected symptoms OF the ap-
preaching crisis before Mr.. Cleveland
was nominated, before the agitation
of issues involved in that political con-
test began. The panic which climaXed
in the fearful slaughter Of values in
1893 did not develop spasmOdically, as
would have been the case if the dis
turbance had been due to some sudden
change in the policy of the govern
ment. 1t was developed gradually as
the result of Republican misrule.
The Republican party, which was in
power in 1890. instead of arreSting ag-
gravated the forces which wrecked
banks, closed factories, lowered the
scale of wages, threw thousands Of
men out Of employment and brought
on an era of unprecedented disaster
| in every avenue of profitable human
endeavor in the American republic.
! The Mckinley tariff of 1890 stimulated
| production beyond the capacity of
American consumers and at time
when there was no profitable outlet i'll
| products. Whether wise or unwise as
an ultimate policy the immediate and
| inevitable result of the silver purchase
! act of 1890 was to create alarm at
! home and abroad.
These umtoward and aggrayatinE
events marked the country's history
| before Mr. Cleveland and his associ-
| ates took charge of the government. 1t
| was beyond the power of the govern
| mcnt III 1898 to arrest the destructive
| forces which had already stricken the
| business energies of the country and
which had begun as the direct and i'm
mediate result of Republican misman-
| agcmcut Of national affairs and which
| had been encouraged by the legislative
| policies Of the party in power i'll 1890.
1t is deliberate and purpoScful mis-
! representation to accuse the Demo
| cratic party of being even in any re-
mote way responsible for the disasters
| which swept through the business and
| industrial Ccnters of the country i'll
