American prosperity that not even the re-
sumption of specie payments restored nor
NAL business conditions. The panic was
charged TO the Republican party and Presi-
dent Grants enormous majority In 1879 was
changed to the close race OF 1876. Further
more, no Republican except Garfield ever
received n popular plurality from 1872 to

The panic of 1907 produced two deficits

more serious conditions to yield TO the Steel
Trust and agree not 10 oppose the absurp-
tlon of the Tennessee Iron and Coal Com

welt thought the panic was growing rapidly
and would soon be out Of the baby class.
Doubtless Mr.. Frazier will recall that Mr..
Harrison's Administration was repudiated
by the people In 1890. A Democratic House
of Representatives by 14S plurality shows
that times were not good and that the coun-
try was dissatisfied with Mr. Harrison.
That condition grew worse until 1899. when
nearly the entire country went Democratic.
