The coal operators had on hand a

A. ] HOPKINS TAXES
ROLE OF PROPHET.
FORMER sENAToRFR FROM ILLINOIS
SEES HARD TIMES UNDER
, DEMOCRATIC RULE.

Washington, D. c., June 1S.-That
men In and out OF politics
have no doubt in their minds that the
republican party ultimately will regain
control of the government, was a de-
claration made by former United
States Senator A. J. Hopkins Of Illi-
nois, who has been in Washington the
last few days.
Mr.. Hopkins before his service In the
senate was member of the house. He
was a representative in 1893, when the
democrats were returned to power af-
ter the defeat of President Harrison by
Grover Cleveland. He compared the
situation in the country and in con-
eress then with the situation today.
"The democrats now are pursuing
the same course they pursued then ana
the result is inevitable" Mr.. Hopkins
said. What were the conditions then?
When the democratic ways and means
committee, Of which I was minority
member, took up the task of revising
the tariff there had not been for ,eigh-
teen months an enforced idle man IN
the United States, factories were run
ming on full time, money was plentiful
and the country prosperous; but Mr..
BRYAN, Chairman Wilson, Mr.. McMil-
lin. and other leading democrats on
the committee insisted that they were
going to carry out democratic princi-
ples and please the people by going to
What happened?
Hard Times Follow.
Within eighteen months after the
Wilson bill went on the statute books,
5 500, 900 men were forced out OF en-
ployment, factories were closed, furn-
cce fires we're banked, and In the sue
ceedfng years that the Wilson bill was
in effect 73 per cent Of the railroads
CT the country went into the receivers
hands. Soup houses were established
all the way from New York to San
Francisco, and the bread line was end
less. It didn't take the voters long to
discover the cause of the changed con-
ditions and they voted to restore the
to power. When President
Mckinley was elected, he called re-
publican ways and means committee
together, and for months this commit
tee was in session framing protec-
tive tariff bill The Dingley bill was
passed, and now, when the democrats
once more come into control, the ma
ton is enjoying, by virtue of republi-
can rule, the most prosperous condi-
ton in the history of the world? The
democrats are going to try to destroy
this prosperity.
There is no split in the republican
party that cannot be closed. The split
in the last election was due to person
alities and not to principles.
"I should not be surprised If the next
congress is republican, and am con-
fdent that the next president to be
elected will be a republican"
