Indianapolis, Sept, 25. The Republican Cf Jipaign in Indiana was opeuerl here today by William McKiuley, governor of Ohio, assisted by Benjamin Harrison, ex-president; of the United States. The early trains into the city were crowded with, Republicans and later ones, on some of the roods, could not !haul enough cam to accommodate all the people who wished to get here. At 1:15 o'clock William MeKiuley and Benjamin Harrison appeared upon the stage of Tonilinson hall. Theandionce was responsive to their presence and a prolonged cheer followed. Mr. Harrison's Remarks. My Fellow Citizens: The delightful duty has been assigned me by the state central committee of the Republican party of Indiana to preside over this great meeting. I am to be its chairman, not its speaker, and I congratulate you on that fact. Laughter. I brought the distinguished gentleman to whom yon are to listen to this hall this afternoon, without sending any courier in advance to find whether there were enough people here for him to speak to. Cheer. I notice in the audience here today with great satisfaction the presence of many of onr older fellow citizens. Tlio old men are fond of telling of the "good old times." bnt the times to which they look back to with so much delight are glorified in the fact that the processes of nature and of Providence have covered the things that were hard, and brought out in the memory those things that were sweet and pleasant. Bnt the good times which I hare in mind are not good old times, bnt very young good times. Applause.! So young that only the tmweaued babes have no memory of them. Only two years ago this country was sot only the most prosperous country in the world f or that it had been before bnt it stood upon the highest pinnacle of prosperity that it had ever before attained. Cheers. This is not the verdict of politicians; it is the verdict of the commercial reporter; it is the expressed opinion of those men who make a profession of studying business conditions. The last two years have been years of distress and disaster. The losses of them defy the skill of the calculator. It has been said, I think, not without reason, that they exceed the -cost of the great civil war. These losses have not been classed losses; they have been distributed. The holder of stocks and bonds has found his wealth sliri liking, and so has the farmer: and the workingman has found his wages shrinking There ha-i been a general participation in the calamities of the past two yearn, as there was a general participution of the prosperity of the preceding year. Applause. The great national debts, like those of the civil war, have sometimes their adequate compensation. Great as was the est of the war ior the Union, we feel that it was adequately compensated in the added glory that was given to the flag, and in rhe added security that was given to our civil institutions and the unity of the nation. Cheers.) Jfo Compcmatlny TttotSllt. Bnt the losses of these last two years have no such compensating thought. There ia no good to be gotten out of them, except for guidance. They seem to be of retributive nature, liko tho swamp, into which the traveler has unwarily driven, that have no ameliorating circumstances, except as rhey teach him to keep on the foothill and to follow the road that is on ttre nil hops. Onr people seemed to he. inclined to unvke the most that can be made oat of these years of disaster. We were told in tho old times the rich were getting richer and the poor poorer: and to cure that imaginary ill onr political opponents have brought on a time when everybody is getting poorer. Great applause.) I think I remember to have heard of an inscription once upon a tombstone that ran something like this: "I was well; I thought to be better; I took medicine, nod here I lie." Laughter and applause. Our Democratic friends have passed a tariff bill that is approved so far as I can learn by only six Democratic seuaStors and nobody else. Laughter. Mr. Cleveland has repudiated it and deelared that it involves "perfidy and dishonor;" that it was shameful in its character and in the influences that produced it; that he wonld not even put his name to it. All of the leading Democratic supers in the country have condemned It both of the old stalwart variety and of toe mngwninp variety. The Democratic chairman of the ways and meann

INLII PEAKS

committee has crauleiuuo.l it nnrt tlio entire Democratic majority in the i huuse of representatives. Smv that is I apreat iieaiortuiie. It is a im.-iiV,i-tviue. i that the Pemrieratic party was not able i ti evolve a tariff bill (liar that party j w.mlil accept as a settlement if file tariff question. Bnt it is not accepted ; o a Sfttleiiie'if. In the very nature of tiling, a lull : thus passed and thus oliaracterioil cannot tea settlement: and already wo have the proclamation from Air. ( leveland and from Mr. Wilson that this is only the heiumns; of the crnsnrlit against American industries; that the war is to go on. Now thai is a great misfort nne. If we could prove by our Democratic friend.-; that we wen1 in the bottom ef the well, dark and damp and dismal as it was, we would have begun to look up and see whether we could not And some star of hope: we would have begun to umioiitt our bruises ami try to bnittl some sealtV.M by which we might try to climb out. Hut we are told that, there are greater depths yet in store fur Wi. And so this country is to be held ia a state of suspense upon this question.

M'KIXLKV INTUOlll CliO. Kccelre.I With Cireat Kutiu-.i;ism by tlio ! AtiM'iulitcil Thoil-uin.ls. ! When Mr. Harrison finished there : was applause both for what he and . for what was proiuiid from Mr. McKiiiiey. The latter began to speak slowly so soon lis the ge nerous and general applause subsided. He clung on to the hit t syllables of his words. His voice was ! soft and flexible, with a rising tendency as Uc proeowled. He spoke as follows: Mr. President, Iy Fellow Citizens of ; Indiana, Ladies and (Jeutlemcu In No- ; vembor, 1802, a llcpublicaii national ndluinistration, able and oHici.nt and pa- ; triotio, which ha;l managed the govern- ' GOVKKXOE M'KIS'LKV. i ment with exceptional zwd and ability ! for nearly four years at the head of i which was one of onr greatest presidents, the illustrious citizen from Indiana ap- ' plans, he who presides over this meet- : ing was, by the voice of the American ; people, voted out of power. Those who assisted in tliat decree and ' thosa who were opposed to it have been : regretful atid unhappy evi r since. Applansa and laughter." In obedience to that decree the Democratic party has been in supreme control of the government for now nearly I!) months and for the greatest part of that t hae it has been engaged in trying to revise the tariff. It must have ln-en apparent even to congress that long bei'oiY it bad concluded the consideration of that subject the people had already revised their opinions, and were filled with anxiety to pass judgment upon their work. It did not t&e the people of this country as long to revise their views as it took the Democratic party to reviso the tariff. Laughter. This has been a period of sober reflection, steadied by tho discipline of adversity, and, after nil, the form of instruction which is most ffective and enduring in experience. And we , have had that with great abundance for tho List 1$ months, bnt have been blessed with little else. The country is ready to speak upon the work of tha Democratic party. There lias never been, I think, in the political history of the country a greater revolution in public sentiment than the one which has occurred in the last IS months and since the November elections of 10-. The Rt,vii1ft!oa Beginning in New York, thenoo to Pennsylvania, thence to the two congressional districts in the great Empire state of New York, thence to Iowa and to Ohio and a half clozn other states in the year 1S'.)3, and then coming down to the election of 181)1, beginning with IU"-. egon and ending in Maine, gives to tha people a realization of tho wonderful revolution that has token place in the sentiment of the couutry witliiu 24 months. What, my fellow citizens, has been the cause of this remarkable change? Tho Democratic party has been running the government for eighteen months, during which time little else has been running. ( Great applause. We have had very little to employ us but observation and reflection. Busineas has been practically stopped. Labor has been little employed and when employed at greatly reduced wages. The waste of wealth and property and wages is beyond human calcalatiou. Government and people have been draining their resources and lofh have been rnnniug in debt. The government has suffered in its revenue and the people in their incomes. Distress has been everywhere universal. No brightness, uo chet-r. no hope have been manifest anywhere, and the appeals to charity were never so universal and incessant; and their ni.tsshy never more manifest than in the last two years. Congress has trifled with the sacred trust confided to it by the people, has disgusted its- own constituents, imperiled their enterprises and investments, and the people have been thinking aliout it. Those who have not been thinking have- been feeling feeling the stress of the times wrought by the great change. What, my fellow citizens, in all these months have they done? They have given us a revision of the tiirilf, such as it is a revision which tho presiding officer, General Harrison, has well said, nobody approves of and everybody is ashamed of. Even Mr. Hills of i Texas declared in open debate that the Gorman-Brieo bill, which has just boj come a law, was not approved by 1,000 j iwople within the United States. ! I ordinarily disagree with Mr. Mills, j but in that 1 nnite agrnt- with him. A law, my fellow citizens, which never had : tha consideration of the committee of : ways and means, a law which was novcr -The vicinity of Chapel Hill, Polk tp. , is tin; principal market ! for rlittnuts, of which there ;-. said to be a good crop lhi- fall.

eoiisidet-xl by the flnamv committee of the seuav a law which never was con sideivtl by tho conference committee of tho two houses and which was only left in tho conference committee and notwithdrawn by the senate because of the hurried action o) the house of representatives hi adopt in;; that- law under the threat of the agents ol the tni; ts that it was to be that bill or none, and in all human probability none. A bill which has received the condemnation of the president of the United State;-, a bill which ho condemned before its pas. aure, and when ir. was passed, under the inightie t pressure of his party, refused to five to if hjs signature: a law which he declared was the lesult of party perfidy and party dishonor, and which, since its pa.-'..'a;;e. he declares the very communism of pelf. Will tin, Venplo n If? And it is this law it is this tariff legislation that the people of this country are asked to approve by their votes in November next, and xhey arc asked to return to congress h.'ie in the state of Indiana and in other states the very same men who helied to make this law. Will yon do it? tCries of "Ho!") You have got an opportunity here in Indiana to show your disapproval of that lav by leaving at home the men who helped to write it. ("Wo will do it !" There era about six in Ohio who will be left- at home. lApplause. 2Uv fellow citizens, tlv ma.iiicr of the making of the law shonld coiah-wn it. if nc.ti-.ing ' Ise.

I2ll;,ry ot Hip r,,-;i.-.liit Ion. The history of the new tartV legislation is iiitew:-.ti:i!" and instructive. The

honsc. which alone has the power ;o ; originate revenue bills, passed wiu'.t is ; k '.ov.n as tho Wilson bill, a measure i which has the nneiiviabio distinction of i bein:; the only tariff bill in our history tliat was ever indorsed by a president iu ! his annual message to congress lx-fore it J bad been reported to tiic hcu.-v or even eco'sidemd ly the cojuiaitu-e on vrays land, means japplauso and lang!iter .' And before it had over lw:i otticially i adopteii by any oliicial commit; ., of i either tho lionse or tha senate o; the lTnited States. ; That bill did i:er raise sulliciei't reve- ' ; nne to conduct the ;';ovei;iuieiit. Every j estimate J. have s-.--.-n of its lv-veinie-! raising power even: d a deficiency of i from sS-10,('KH,0iX) to ;.s?(),(KK!.o(X). j That bill went to the senate and I took the usual course of reference to the commit tin-on finance which i.-charged with the revenue legislation of the seuate. Alter protrac ted consid'-vatiou by the committee, the Wilson bill, with more than 100 amendments, was reported to the senate. 15ut. after nmch talking and wrangling, it was soon made manifest that neither the Wilson bill, nor the Wilson bill with tho fi.ir.nce committee's amendments, eonld pass that bitily: and so, taking the bill out of the hands of the committee, taking it out of the hands of the senate, taking if out of the control of the finance committee oT the senate, a Keif-constituted commirtac, eon:-isiing of Mr. .Ion -s of Ai-l.-aasas, Mr. :t of Missocri, au-.l Mr. U.-.rris .if Tennessee, on v;J;ie:i v.-.is not a single noitheiii senator, was made the adjusting committee to lis up a bill that could command -ill votes, or a majority of tho senate of the United .st.iro;:. The senator from Arkansas himself best toils how it was done. Speaking of the bill of the finance committee in open senate after it';- passage ho said and I uuote from the record: "We knew thai to pass the bill iu this form aM hat time was impossible. With that fact staring ns in the face, we saw the r.fssiry of pa-win;; sons' sort of a t.iritf bill wiiie- we had the power. The senator front Tcuue-we, ti:. senator from M.i.-i-;-..)n;i, and :nyilt' ami other member.-; of the e.-.i-i:;;:i:te:-, and senators not n the committee, disciti-'i d the situation i'reely. I 1 conversation with individual senators one after anothir. 1 carefully noted down the objrr;t:iiis and yriticisnrs of each, and to each partieviiar pt.rajraph throughout the bill, and the objection made U it. I went from the beginning to the. end throngh the bill with man after man on this side of the chamber, spending davs and days ia the work. After I had talked with each who was opposing the bill and had noted on the margin of the, bill what was said. I had every objection presented by each of them, "nnd after I had gone over the marginal uotts and made up my mind exactly what were the smallest mollifications which would at all meet the difficulties which were in the way, I consulted tho secretary of the treasury and the president and those that made the bill." That is to say, he said to the sever il senators who were not pledged and who reinsed to be bound by party canenses. "What do you want, what is your price for voting for this bill? Name your consideration?" Ho did not put the question. What is the best interests of the country? He did not ask, What is for the best interest of the wage earners? He did not ask, What is best for the farmers and the agriculturalists? He did not ask,What)wonld carry out the pledges and purposes of the Democratic party? He asked what must be the price to be (riven to tho unbound senator, to got him to vote for some sort- of a bill, while tha Democratic party had the power, and that is tho way that bill was made. That, of itself, my fellow citizens, ought- to condemn it. The voice of Indiana was not heard in tho making of that bill. Three senators from throe southern states made the industrial law for 6r,000,000 of iKrople. (Applause. And I give notice here and now, speaking foi my fellow Countrymen, that wo do not propose to be bound by legislat ion made in that way. Applause. Some Protection, Bat, my fellow-citizens, this bill gives some protection. Rice is carefully protected by a duty of more than SO per cent and sagar is not wholly neg!'X-ted. It has soma free trade in it here and then-, but principally hero in the north. There is the tariff on paanuts. Applm.se. But frvo trade on hoopirou tlut tfoes to bind a bale of cotton.

t.uilT on the cottonbags of the southern fanner. In their selie.lnle there is the grossest exhibition of sectionalism nnd unjnst di- 'lamination. Is it any wonder that et-ei Mr. Cleveland should condemn if V And iii his letter to (.'ongressman Calehiugs he d.-elares (hen; are provisions in tilis bill that are not in tho line, of honest tariff reform, and it contains incoii -.isienciesand crudities which ought not to appear in t.iritf laws or laws of any kind, while inllnenees surrounded it hi its later sta-s and interfered with its final construction which ought not t-1 be recognized or Merat.il in Democratic reform counsels. And the president might have well have added, nev eny other counsels. Would Tjtko Curl' of Niigiti. ; Those mil., fellow citizens, in the plnin stivy of the ti-j.nsaetious in tho campaign of lsit'J, told in open debate, told in public session, fold to the country, published in the enduring records of the Uniicd States, thru the candidates of the Democratic party, and the managers of the Democratic party controlling organization, made a private contract, with the senators from L. mi si ami, the consideration Vicing the electoral vote of the state of Louisiana, that they would take care of sugar. They modified their platform. You never beard of free sugar in the campaign of ism from the lips of a Democratic orator. It was not in the Democratic platform, it was not spoken of in tho Democratic press of the Counirv. but here wi n; two great leaders of the Democratic party making a private e-eitraet with a great sovereign state of the Union that they would modify the platform of their partv privately and seefimally in considerai n for tho electoral vote of the state. That is iho way that law was made. It l'o.hi;-e,i i jitics. hut every time it reduced a duty it reduced the w;;;:es of labor. You cannot reduce the duties and increase rhe revenues unless you iucivase iuiixn-'ations. It yon reduce the rate of duties .V,i per cent you can only increase your revenues by multiplying yonr importations, it' yoe decrease the tariff one-h.-ili', if you maintain the volume of revenue, you must double your importations. If the tariff on glass, for example, was tlti per cent iniuer the old law, and the Democratic party redm-ed it to ;;',) per cent, to get as much rcvunno from a .'(o per coat turiti" as you got from a r-i per cent tariff yon must double tho importation ef those glasses. Do yon see that, my fellow citizens? With a reduction of duty if yon would even maintain the revenue now r-wiw-d, yo.t 1. m: got to increase ir.tportatioiis, and the more you increase importations of tho prod v.et ions we make at home the less productions will be made at home, and the less productions we make at home the less wages will be paid at home and the less labor will be employed. I Apulause. Fellow citizens, which Mould yon rather have, till per cent tariff or !!0 per cent? Cries of "ilo per cent." You would rather have a higher taritl' than lower wai'es. Th.it is what vou mean. Cries of "That's it!" Two Ways to Preserve tho Market. There are two ways, my fellow citizens, to preserve the American market to the American people two ways. One is to put prut, i-tive duties high c-eough upon I'.itvig'i products to make it ditlicult to bring them in. That is tho Republican way. Applause. That is the American way. Thar is the Harrison way. There is ju.-t one other way. A voice in the audience, "the MeKiuley way. "I Tito other way to preserve this market and stop foreign importation of j competing products the other way is j

to rcdiu-. Vim-ncan wages. W e can hold this market if oar workingmen will work as cheap as the foreigner will ; work. "We won't do it."

Better I for wiiat? ; Tito Republican idea prefers to make j harder for the foreign product to come ; into this country, to reserve in markets ; rather than to make it harder for (roe- : men to live in this country. For a'l they say, it is better than the law of I WH), ; that is, better than onr law. Hotter ! than our law, you say, better for what, : except the sugar trust and the whisky i trust? What industry in this country j other than those 1 liave named will it , stimulate? Tell me that, men of Ij- j diana. What new fire will it build in ' any part of the country under our flag? ; Tell me thatf men of Indiana. What ; additional laborer will it employ? Tell I me that, men of Indiana. I see the peo- i pie of Indiana understand this question i fully and are ready to vote. Has there ' been any rejoicing ia tins country sine that bill liccamc a law? Havo you heard j of any? The only rejoicing that has : been heard anywhere litis been beyond j the seas and under another flag. And ; while they havo rejoiced in another 1 country that law has brought sorrow : and distress to J.oOo.ooO homes in the Uuj led States. Well, they say they have ' reduced duti-:-: :a per cent reduction in wages I am told in Indiana: i!0 per cent roducti:n in some branches of industry in Indiana. The Vr JllBt licguu. That is the effect of the reduced dn- : ties. We do not want any more of them. And yet they say tha war has just begun; that thoy have not cut nearly a much as they intend to cut. 1'hat is what the president says. That is what Mr. Wilson says. That is what the great Democratic press of the country says ; that they have only just begun. Well, if they have only just begun, what is to be your verdict this year about giving them any more power to cut any deeper into the industries of this country? Well, I believe you t,re not going to do it. j There are a good many who c-osld be ; spared. What constit utes their boatited duty? Well, they have rodneed the tar- ; iff on leaf tobacco and Havana cigars $1. Pl-l.t.OO annually. They have reduced the tariff on French brand- from it2.,ri0a gallon under the old law to .-jd.tso a gallon nmler the new tariff law. They havo i reduced the tariff on laces and enibroid- ! eries, based upon the importation of last year, $1,587,KK).

All am articles which are chiefly used by the wealthy miller flic best condition of our country. Yet these reductions had i'.H to lie made by tie; Demoi-ratic Ceiigre.;s an rxense for putting a duly on si'.g:;r; a necessity to every ho-a-v-hold in the land; that tln-y might enrich the trust already fattened, us they allege, by its ill-gotten gain. What comfort will it bring tot lie average American home, the modest, households of the great masses ,,f the people, to be told that the duties have been reduced on laces, silks, on Havana cigars, on cut glass, on jewelry and velvets and liqnoi.-, and opium? Yet such is the compensation the American people aru given for the added burden of 1 Kj cents more ou every pound of sugar they consume. Thus, my fellow citizens, they repeal the reciprocity law of lsfo, a law under which a Republican administration made most valuable treaties with several of the great countries of the world. Onr trade with Cuba, under , the treaty made by the administration : of President Harrison, increased from $ 1,000.000 to ts.'i.uoo tiuunallv. and with Hrazil from 7.000.000 to slti.iKkt.ooo, ; while with ii number of other countries a large and growing trad, had been senered. All this is surrciir -red for taxed sugar. And it is already announced that some of tiiese countries arc to in- ' angnratf retaliatory duties against the United States for the abrogation of this treaty. Hut, my countrymen, there was one treaty that thev did not aUvgato bv tho law of ls'-U. That was the treaty .if reciprocity with the Sandwich island's. All'i-t-t of tin New Law.

This was a gre.tifying difference over $O,0SK).OiX Wived to prolvictions of onr own pioiile, and this difference was all in faver of the American farmer. The money rcnriiii.id at home, where it went into the poefors of th:j American farmer, not to be hoarded by him, but to find its way into general circulation. Do yon approve of such a policy as. the present? Nobody appreciates it more than the people cf Canada. As to many coniincreial pro lii'-ts nnd' r the law of INSil.our law make.-, them 1. .-.- than the Canadian tariff, A comparison of the two laws is an intekvstiug study. The Knipire, a paper published iu Canada, under date of 10 days i.go, says that comparing the (niadia'u and American tariffs tlie Aineriean is i l many r.-spects lower. This indicates that iu a good many lines the Canadian farmer is better protected than the American farmer. Farmers of Indiana, how do yon lik" tliat? The Canadian Journal of Aug. 17, 1K!U, speaking of the removal of the tariff on lumber, says it will place them in a bettor position to compote in the American market, and that this industry promises to be more extensive as a consequence of the twin:' legislation just completed in Washington. So on the article of barley, tho Canadian farmer will profit and get a higher price this season than he would otherwise have received. The Globe, published in Toronto, under date of Aug. 13, says the increase in tl- duty on hay iu the tariff of ISiK) red-ioed the hay export to less than halt its former proportion. It will i thus lie seen that the American market : is made easier to the Canadian farmer : to enter with his products, while the American farmer is not given equal reciprocal privileges. Is it any wonder that the result of tho Democratic administration and of the Democratic congress should be just what wo find it? It was precisely what was predicted from this platform in ISiH. ' Every prediction of evil has been realized." Not a single one has failed since the Democratic party came into power. , Comparativo Values. My fellow citizens, how do the farm- ; ers liko it? A bushel of wheat this year buys JO pounds of sugar. Iu ISOi a bushel of wheat bought 20 pounds of , sugar. A jHinnd of wool this year buys three pounds of sugar. A pound of wool in lbthj bouht seven pounds of sugar. How do you like it, farmers of Indiana? They havo cut down the expenses of . the government, but ih--y have done it by cutting down pensions. And yon know that, at a time like this, when they are cutting down pensions, when everybody is poor, when everybody's income is failing and when distress is manifest everywhere, they go to work and increaso the salaries of Democratic officials. At a time like this, when we don't collect but $10,000,000 a year, of what we spend, but we havo to go out and borrow .'tUK)0,000 to keep the running expenses of this government up, they have increased the salaries of their public ofiicials. The salary of the first assistant secretary of state was increased from ,30" to" -l,f00. They have increased tho salary of the minister to Belgium the former law partner of tho vice president from Sie'iOU to $10,000. They have increased the salaries of the minister to Switzerland and Portugal each from fti.OOO to $a.iHK. The ministers to Nicaragua and Costa Rica wore for the first time given secretaries of legation at ail annual cost of $-'!,(i00. Six auditors of the- treasury department wen; increased from fcl.tiOO to SJ.OOO and the salaries of many other officials iu the consular service and elsewhere wore increased.

' Money All Oootl. Our money is all good, whether it lie ! gold or :ilvor, whether it be national j bank notes, or greenbacks, or treasury ! notes, or gold or silver certificates every i dollar is good. To get the mini- y out ' among the people is tie. serious problem ; today. To do this we must not- only have something to sell, but be able to , find somebody to buy. (Applause. No ' matter what we have to sell, if there is : nobody able to bny who wants it, we I must kc-p it. If wo are compelled to ' keep it, we sudor the loss ill whole or in ; part of what it co-ts us to proi1ii.ee i:. So long as we cannot part with what ! w:ey.,.":i!i! y-Z T: prixluoe more of it.

W!i''ii wr.v'es arestopiK-d one uTeat factor in the distribution of money is stopp. -.l. This, my countrymen, is our trouble today. The banks arc filled with money; money was never more plentiful or loss employed than it is now. It is because it is not employed that wo have the stagnation iu buaucss which distresses the conntry, and the reason it is not employ. 1 is because the invitation to sat'... and profitable investment is not pre sented. Money will not be employed 1 . . .1 ., , ir ufitvss iniiusii-.y i ociicv.i vo oe oil a permanent and profitable basts. Money will be idle and hoarded awtiy so Ions as labor is idle. And did it ever occur to you that labor will remain idle until it c:ui be employed with assured aiK;nt;'j;e to the employer:' If the circulating niedinm of the country was double what it is today it would be no easier for us to got it than it is now, and we would have to jr.-t it fcy the same processes. We must (five som-ethiiijj for if, and if what we have to frivols not v. anted by any body, and nobody is found wi'iiintr or able to buy it, the money will remain locked up as it now is. What we need, my fellow citizens, is wise industrial, financial, and fiscal legislation, and more than all, we want it certainty that is to stand. Uncertainty breeds distrust, and distrust paridy.es the arm of industry. It is not the arm of industry. It is not the na y. nor the kind of money, tronble; it is the lack of proslack of moi: that is our porous manntaetnrinir, and the absenco j of confidence in the parry inr.D-.i'Tiiisth:! trove; nm .nt, and. we want a fe.ith iu the futnre. When ei.ttifideiic.; and hope are , everywhere inanifestctl, maaufnctmvrs are busy and labor is employed, and ; when both arc eiifia3Kl thereon villi a fair profit, and the other with fair i war.-s, thou asrriculturw is pro porous ! and money has free, and healthy circulation. Mo Permanent Stoiiig;o Mr. President, the prosperity of this . country cannot be perin::!icntly stopped. , IC'rics of "No." That administration, : legislation, and politics which retards or : destroys piwperity, will itself be dostroyed. That is what we are eii;raged j in now. (Applanse. Ever' victory against tho Democratic party as it is now mana.wd is a step to the resnmp- i tion of that business and that return to j prosperity which is everywhere so much needed and so loninjdy prayed for. It is the bow of promise to the business ! world and stimulated our industries and labos with hope, courage and confidence and brings us nearer to the return of the trood times from which wo ran away in . 1S92.
