was caused by the Administration OF
President Harrison. and resulted direct
" therefrom, and but for the action OF
President Cleveland in calling a special
session OF Congress and procuring the
repeal OF the Sherman silver act the
consequences would have been even
more disastrous than they actually We're
Suppression of Facts.
TO charge the panic OF 1898 to the
Wilson tariff OF 1894 Is not only a wnlful
suppression OF facts. bat is a manifest
perversion OF the truth II would seem

which yet is seriously advanced ~
I statesmen supporting the platform OF
I the Republican party IN other words.
the claim is seriously made and urged,
and apparently accepted and believed by
! thousands OF our fellow-citiZens, that
/ something done In 1894 was the direct
and immediate cause of what happened
in 1SS3-the year before.
The history of Republican Congresses
! has been history Of reckless dealing
/ with the finances OF the country and Of
! wasteful extravaganza.
So far as the anairs Of this State are
concerned. We believe that the people OF

with the conduct Of arairs by the Re-

dual capacity as chairman Of the Re
publican State committee and governor
of the State or New York. in this hal
