There was no danger then of gradual return to revenue basis, but widespread business depression came upon the country. In view of the panics of 1873 and 1907 how can MT. Taft be sure that his election will prove a panaeea? In 1896 the Renub- licans forgot the panic of 1873 and charged the panic of 1893 to the Demo- crats.

against the Stratton estate and as soon
as these are settled the executors will
turn the assets over to the trustees Of
