Republican Prosperity.

History affords no parallel to the
vast and increasing prosperity which
this country has enjoyed under re-
publican rule. hasten to say we
do not claim to have invented seed
time and harvest, and industry and
thrift. We are a great people and
success is our right; God is good to
those who behave themselves. But
we may justly claim that the republic
can party has been in power during
these years of marvellous growth, and
we can at least bring proof that we
have not prevented it-and this is no
slight honor for a party to claim.
will not at this moment speak of the
important acquisitions Of territory we
have made, which render us in many
ways the predominant power in the
Pacific. But out of the territory we
already possessed, IA new states have
entered the union. The census Of 1850
gave us 23,000,000 of population-the
last one, 76,000,000. The number of
our firms-the total Of our cultivated
Iacreage-has increased fourfold. Our
corn crop is five times what is was:
our wheat crop. six times. The cap
ital invested in manufacturing has
grown from five hundred millions to
ten billions; where 1t employed less
than a million artisans, it now em-
ploys more than five millions; and
while the number of worklngmen has
increased five times, their wages have
increased tenfold. The value of man.
ufactured property is 13 times what Il
was when the republicans of Michigan
met under the oaks. The real and
personal wealth of the country has
grown in this amazing half century
from seven thousand millions to nine
ty-four thousand millions. Our rail-
roads have grown from a mileage of
10000 to one of 100000 Our imports
and exports have gone up by leaps
and bounds to the same monstrous
proportions. And finally let us hasten
to say, as the other side will say It for
u.s. instead Of the $4,000, 900 which
supplied our modest needs In 1850 we
