pubhcans were IN control, and they ut
terly failed TO change conditions The
terrible panic had to run its course
despite their so-called remedial legis-
latlon. From 1881 to 1856, under two
Republican tariffs, there were 9,439
strikes for increased wages, and 1874
strikes against reductions OF wages.
These strikes involved 22,304 establish
ments and 1925 203 workingmen. Dur
ing 1883 and 1884, under the same Re
publican laws, there were 20,l52 sail.
ures, involving S39e 21700G In 1885,
sGll under the same conditions, there
was business depression and million
men out of work
In 1890, when the Mckinley bill
was the pride of Republicans and ex-
pected to prove the salvation of the
country, there were 1854 failures,
following in 1891 by 1894 Wages
stood still or decreased and the cost
of living began to advance. In 1897
under Republican rule, there was a
financial crash in New York that
threatened dire peril to the Nation
the situation being so serious that
the National treasury was placed at
the disposal CT The crippled interests,
and this, too, under a Republican ad-
ministration,
This retrospective glance ought to
be sufficient to convince doubling
voters that the Republican party is
b. no means the advance agent Of
prosperity" and that it is not justi-
fed in putting in Il claim for credit
in the midst OF our existing prosper
ity. History carries with it a refuta-
ton.
