On the 9th of next November. the members of the house O representatives
of the sixtiah Congress will be elected. Since the termination of the Fntytkird
Congress, March ], 1895, the House of Repr sentatives has been Republican and
there is every reason to expect that a substantial working Republican majority
will be elected next November. On the 4th day of ext March the Republican
party will have been incomplete control of the government or tel cOntnuou
years. and during those years we "a adj a greater advanc as a nation mo
a people than was eve made before in a generation md in many respects great

of Republican success If the voters study carefully the recordo Oh ne W. parties
There will be thousands and hundreds of thousands who will vote for the
first time in November, who were mere children when the Democrats last had a
majority in the Houses Of Representatives and they DO not all viyids femembe
the awful times and conditions brought on the country by that Congress They
were not born when the only Democratic president since the Civil War was hrst
elected They were babes IN arms when GroVer Cleveland sen ms famous OF
infamous free trade message to Congress, and when, a year after, the iniquitous
Mills bill ws framed and passed by the Democratic House of Representatives
of theFntieth Congress. But fortunately there vas then a Republican Senate
to prevent the enactment of a free trade law, and disaster and
calamity was for the time avered. But in 1893 the Democrats had the presi

the country many billions of dollars and incalculabe suffering These facts
should be weighed with he record of the Republican party before n since and
especially should the record of the present congress be studied, for though It's
work is not yet finished, more has ar ay been done n one session than by any
previous Congress since the War of the Rebellion The fiscal year which closed
June soth, and the calendar year so ia, gave and is giving us new records in
every phase of our industrial life, and only Democratic success ian prevent in
any wal ns continuance.
Never before in the history of nations have such industrial conditions or
such material warfare existed as are today possessed by our progressive nation
and or prosperous people. For nearly half a century, year after year and de
cade after decade, W hav advanced by amazing strides in production and con-
sumption, the twin induces of substantial success The unparalleled wealth and
power and credit md standard of living which have o to our people since
1861 ave been nder and largely because IF the wisdom and te courage IF the
chosen leaders of the Republican party our splendid natural advantages and
our vast resources have beer developed by patriotic, judicOus and effective leg

farms uncultvated, ant our factories nbult. For nearly a generation under the
Republican party, with eb and flow, but a more or less constant swelling of the

have passed other nations, at first singy and then other nations combined. We

people tor the necessares and Injuries of life. 1t is a situation unparalleled In
the annals of nations. Our volume of employment, our rewards of labor, our
