The Issue of 1908.

One OF the most cheering signs OF
political convalescence in the United
States has been the heavy apprecia-
tion shown by men of all parties and
in all parts of the country for the
sterling worth of ex- President Gro
yer Cleveland in the note taken OF
his SEVENTEEN birthday. He is the
pattern of man to whom the eyes of
the nation are turned in this time of
stress and strain. when the ship of
State is storm. tossed and fast drift
ing from its ancient moorings. The
time is as ripe as it was in 1892 for
putting another Cleveland in the
field and for electing him to the
Presidency upon the same issue,
1t does not 60 unobserved upon
the part OF the mass of thoughtful
and independent voters in the
United States that the Roosevelt
onslaught upon corporations and
monopolies is directed against the
creatures rather than the creator of
these overfed and overgrown mon
strosities. There is notable conse-
quent unrest. Without organiza.
tion and without serious effect on
the part of the opposition at the
last November election the Repu-
blican party was within an ace of
losing control of the Congress. This
was before the putting on of finan-
cial brakes that has now alarmed
the country, when we were on the
topmost wave of prosperity.
1t is a pleasure to note in the con-
servative Democratic journals in
the Southern States due apprecia-
lion of present political conditions.

Grover Cleveland to again bring to
the front the issue of tariff reform,

party or other, whether now in esse

gladly and confidently, shall take
