supremo question always has been, not what Is
more "political" bu Is everlastingly "right."
The great men wo havo gl.on to tho nation
and to history, tho mighty dead and tho illus
trious living aro our inspiration and tower of
strength. If wo aro but truo to their exalted
example wo can not bo false to our country
men. Torn third of a century prior to the advent
of tho present democratic administration we
operated under laws enacted by tho republic
an party. All great measures concerning the
tariff and tho currency originated k with it
Tariff laws wore formed upon lines which pro
tected our laborers and producers from un
equal and unjust foreign competition nnd up
on tho theory that the best raarkot In tho
world Is the homo market and that should bo
enjoyed by our own countrymen.
Under tho currency laws our currency was
made national. Tho wildcat state bank mon
ey of tho democratic party was wiped out of
existence. Tho unprecedented demands grow
ing out of tho war wero met by a paper cur
rency which ultimately became as good as
gold. SInco tho resumption of specie pav
menta In 1870 ov cry dollar of our money, pv
pdr, silver and gold has been of equal pur
chasing power tho world over. Tho policy of
tho party has been to mnko and koep our cur
rency equal to the best In the world
Under tho operation of these honest tariff
and honest money republican laws the country
grew in wealth and power beyond precedent.
Wo easily outstripped all othor powers In tlio
commercial race. On November 8, 1892, thcro

changed. Tho cause is not bard to geek. A re

legislative and executive branches of

Tho democratic party had at Chicago con

the policy of tho United States. This bold,
aggressive attack upon the long settled policy
of the republican party bore Its natural fruit
i thos. n. HEED.
In shaken confidence, unsettled busi
ness; and we wero soon drifting
along tho rock of destruction. lioforc
tho work of demolition had actually begun, n
run was started upon tho treasury reserve
which tho republican party had wisely accum
ulated for tho protection of the government
credit. Tho drain upon tho reserve for tno
redemption of greenbacks and treasury uotcs
greatly surpassed all prior experience and em
phasized tho discredit into which tho demo
cratic administration had fallen. An utter
want of cantldenco In tho administration pos
sessed the people.
Tho democrotlo party was harmonious upon
one subjeot, and that was the destruction of
the McKlnloy tariff law, but when they tame
to the oxerclso of tho creative faculty, the

terests of tho country watched, and waited
through long and. anxious months for some
settlement of tho Important question. They
wanted an end of uncertainty. At length tho
Wilson bill was' adoptod, and It was charac
terited by a democratic president as the child
of "perfidy and dlsbpnpr " It was so pad that
he would not contaminate bis band by signing
A bill that was too dmb for Mr. Cloveland to
approve la too rotten for the approval of the
American people.

yet, for the deficiency grpws day by day,, This
leaves the treasury and 'thp public credit In
constat) peril, Our;fprelgnr credit Is Im
paired and domes Uo capital fee Insecure.
Tho scctlonnl favoritism of the Wilson law
wis ono of Its marked features. Its blow al
anccp husbandry was an unpardonable of

of tho United States. This great Industry had

Tho substitution of ail valorem for specific

To meet tho mpntnly deficits and protoct
our credit and save tho government frem pro
test, the president has been forced to sell
bonds! in other words, ho has been obliged to
mortgage tho future In time of peace to meet
the current obligations of tho government.
This is in sharp contrast with tho republi
can record. Our tariff laws not only raised
revenue, but they protected our domestic In
dustries; they impartially protected the
farmer and ma.nu.factur.er, both north and
south. Not only that, but they also raised
sufficient revenuo to grndually reduce tho pub
lic debt, and without Imposing a grievous
burden upon the people
Having attempted to reverse tho tariff policy
of the United States with lamentabto results
tho democratlo party now proposes to rcverso
the currency policy. It turns tp tho currency
as tho parent of our ills. Its effort to shift
tho responsibility will deceive no ono. Its at
