How Prosperity Changed 70 Panic
When Democrats Elected President.
In January 1892. this country was
prosperous, and all conditions indt-
Gated continuance OF prosperity.
In November of that year Demo
cratic president vas elected,
In 1893 the Democratic congress,
convened in extraordinary session, be-
gan its anti-protection activities. After
time it enacted the Wilson low tar
If law.
IN the early summer OF that year
came the panic. In the period from
May / to July %, 301 banks. with a
The total number Of banks suspended
in that year was $50.
In 1892 the total amount OF liabili-
ties on account of business failure was
Sll4 100000. In 1898 the total was
$S46, 600. 900.
In the year 1898 railroad properties
whose aggregate value was 81 200, OoO,-
900 we're in the hands of receivers.
Between May and Oct. 1915, 100000
was withdrawn from national banks.
In this state alone Withdrawals OF
deposits from savings banks were $34.-
oOO. 900 in excess OF deposits made.
In the period from Jan. 1, 1892, to
Jan. 1 1896. there was shrinkage OF
81 400, 900, 900 in the total value OF
farm products and live stock in the
United States.
In that period prices were lower.
but hundreds of thousands were wage
less and other multitudes worked at
low wages and on short time. They
had little money or none with which
to buy even the most ordinary neces-
saries OF life In adequate quantity.
Now. after twenty years. the Demo
cratic party is again asking the cleo
torate Of the United States to put it
in control OF national affairs in order
that the performances OF its last Pc
Rod OF control and their disastrous
consequences may be repeated.
The Republican party, under whose
administration during sixteen years
the country has become newly pros
porous and more prosperous than ever
It was before. pledges itself to maiute-
nance of the policies which restored
and promoted prosperity.
There is a paramount issue. What
intelligent American can hesitate to
make his choice Albany Journal.

Commissioners Have a Bill
introduced in Senate.
URGE PASSAGE OF MEASURE
improvements and Construction
of Driveway From Soldiers
Home TO Rock Creek Park Part
of Scheme-Land Will Cost
S57,ooo-Eight Acres Needed
Mr.. Gallinger Favored the Idea.

The establishment OF magnlncent
driveway between Soldiers Home Park
and Rock Creek Park, and the improve
ment of the entrance to Rock Creek
Park from Fourteenth to sixteenth
streets, including other minor improve
ments, are contemplated in bill pre-
pared by the District Commissioners ana
introduced yesterday by Senator CALM
ger. The Commissioners urge the prompt
passage Of the bill, for the reason that no
street extension measure now penulng III
Congress Is more important than thls.
The bill provides for the opening or
Spring road between New Hampshire
avenue and Twentieth street. involving
q slight change from the approved Nigh
way plan to permit the opening OF the
road without condemning certain improve
ments and to make it conform to the
topography OF that portion of the ROAD
west of Sixteenth street: the condenna-
ton of land necessary 10 widen Fouf
teenth street road, to extend Perry place
10 Sixteenth street. to extend MOUNT
Pleasant street and Eighteenth street TO
Spring road and to open Spring roan
from New Hampshire avenue to Rock
Creek Park to Twentieth street.
LAND WILL COST $4,000.
The Commissioners estimate that about
81 acres will be required to make the
extensions and improvements proposed,
placed AT $4,000. In their letter to the
District committee. the Commissioners
say.
There is no part of the District OF
Columbia which is developing more rap
idly than the section through which 1t is
proposed to extend the streets as contem-
plated in this draft of bill. The land nee
essary for opening Spring road with the
connecting streets provided for should
undoubtedly be acquired before the land
is developed and buildings erected within
the proposed street lines If this were
done and grade established, the present
uncertainty as to the street development
in this section would be removed and pri-
vate improvements in the locality would
rapidly follow
I'm addition. the opening of these high
ways will afford driveway from Sol
diers' Home to Rock Greek Park, and
when improved it will make one of the
most beautiful entrances to the park
from Sixteenth street"

that Armstrong would probably pre-
cipitate it himself. Well. no human
soul. not even their writer, knew that
she had destroyed them, she had de-

she intended to show them not TO New

herself even in his eyes for the action
she had taken.
Mingled with all these quick reflec-
