Democrats Riehting Wrongs.

"And the thing so StOOu ullIll JHe
democratic party came into power
last year The legislation of the past
wear and a half has in very large
measure done away with these things.
With their correction, suspicion and
iii will will pass away. For not only
have these things been righted but new
things have been put into action that
are sure to prove the instruments OF
new life in which the mists and
dstempers which have so embarrassed
use will be cleared away; the wrongs
and Misunderstanding corrected that
have brought distrust upon so many
honest men unjustly. That is the main
ground of my own satisfaction.
THE tariff has been recast with a
view to supporting the government
rather than supporting favored beneii-
ciaries of the government. A system
of banking and currency issues has
been created which puts credit within
the reach of every man who can show
a growing business and the super
vision and control of the system is in
the hands of a responsible agency OF
the government itself. A trade tribunal
has been created in which those who
attempt unjust and oppressive prac-
tices in business, can be brought to
book. Labor has been made some
thing else i'm the view of the law than
mere mercantile commodity, some
thing human and linked with the priv
ilege of life itself. The soil has every
where been laid bare out of which
monopoly is slowly to be eradiCated.
And undoubtedly the means by which
credit has been set free is at the heart
Of all these things, is the key piece 70
the whole structure.
This is the most significant be
cause OF its opportunities. 1t is brought
to its final accomplishment just as it
is most imperatively needed.
THE war which has involved the
whole of the heart of Europe has
made it necessary that the United
States should mobilize its resources in
the most effective way possible and
make her credit and her usefulness
good for the service of the whole
world. 1t has created, too, special diff
flculties peculiar situations to be dealt
with like the great embarrassment in
selling our immediate cotton crop
which all the world needs, but against
which for the time being the markets
OF the world are in danger of being ar
tificially shut.
Future Clear and Bright.
The bankers Of the country are
meeting so far as possible in a bust
ness-like fashion the spirit Of the new
