That is the condition that is brought
about by Republican times ana Re-
publican policies of government enact
ed into Republican laws. That is the
condition of prosperity that we pre-
sent to you tonight. Is there any doubt
or it? Is there doubt but what that
condition exists? Is there a man idle
IN this community, or, so far as you
know, In this country because that he
cannot find IN the scope of his ability
employment or occupation or field of
enterprise? II there is not, is not that
TO be taken as the criterion of pros
perity? And if there is not such idle
ness, IL there Is not such poverty, if
there Is not such lack of opportunity,
then what conclusion must we evil
IDENTIFY reach? Is it not that 1t due
to the system and the efficiency and
the ability and the wisdom of those
who influence and control conditions
by the manner of the enactment of the
law and of its enforcement? If not,
then you must conclude that the gov
eminent has nothing to do with pros
perity.

recall the memory of those of you, and

the conditions that existed when we
stood upon this platform in 1896 to
speak for the Republican party, to
speak for the same principles, the same
political doctrine that we speak for to-
night. They have not changed except
that some things that we then prom
ised are now statutes, some things that
We're then pledges of O platform are
now the element of benificent laws,
under the benefit of which you sit to-
night. This for the Republican party.
Compare it with the conditions that
existed. as l said, when we stood here
in 1896, and told you that the remedy
for those desoluate times, for that aw-
tut misery of great people endowed
with a capacity, with natures promises,
when their condition appealed to
every heart, and we told you that the
remedy would be found in returning
the country to the hands of the Re-
publicans. (Applause.) You did not
all believe US. The people of Idaho
rejected the statement and voted by
an overwhelming vote against the Re-
publican party. But that seed never
rotted in the ground. 1t stayed there
until the next season of termination,
and the sap grew q little higher and the
Republican principles were little more
evident to the minds of the people, and
you moved 1t down again in 1898. But
that root stood in the ground and
sprang up again, and in the spring of
1900 grew a blossom and bore fruit.
Since that time it has commanded the
respect, 1t has borne its fruit. 1t has
led the people and you are today the
recipients of its splendid opportunities
could not refrain from thus occupying
your attention although know that to
many 1t Is considered a dry and un-
interesting subject. But let me warn
you, don't tire of 1t, never tire of tell
ing 1t to your children. 1t is like
the other old, old story. Every gener-
alton must learn 1t; they must learn 1t
from those generations who have gone
before them In the walks Of life. Preach
1t. Why. you might as well forget the
creed OF your faith and hope for sal
walton as to forget those cardinal prin-
ciples of government which distin-
guish the American people from the
people Of empires and Kingdoms. Cap

We owe 1t to ourselves, we dare not
follow in the footsteps or embrace the
doctrines of those other peoples whose
happiness Is the beneficent gift Of the
hands of a king.

which I feel Justified In occupying to

perform that responsible duty OF cast

the belief that you will agree with me
that that one question alone Is suffi-
Client to determine your action and to
