•ment in the financial condition of the
country was due to enlargment of th»
circulating medium by. the : prodigious, in
crease in the output of gold and the con
tinued icoinage of silver by the Republi

that party, in the Pliilippincs, and insist
ed that if the. Republican party was right
in Cuba, it was wrong in the Philippines;
■that it could riot? be for liberty arid 'lho
cause of humanity in Cuba, and for tyran
ny and inhumanity in the Philippines;
and be: right in both positions.
