We have had ten years Of IN
paralleled prosperity; nothing
like it has ever been experienced
in this or any other land in all the
world. There are people who
are content to let well enough
alone, who stand by the ship that
has carried them safely over the
stormy seas. The Dingley Tariff
law rescued the country from
the most disastrous financial,
commercial and industrial de-
preston the country ever exper-
fenced. Where is the sense OF
m~onkeying with II? Let it alone.
