The Demi a crats have fully three years i*i which to right matters, and if the Republicans insist that the present depression is due to fear regarding the tariff, when business becomes brighter the Democrats will claim all the credit and assert that better times are due to whatever changes in the tariff laws they may have enacted. This country is just as rich as it was «ux months ago. The harvests are bountiful, the needs of consumers are just as great, and as soon as congress enacts the proper laws, 1 look for a complete restoration of confidence, which will cause the lide of prosperity again to sweep over the laud. Congress is not to legislate alone for Democrats or Republicans, but for the entire people, and with the full comprehension that if it errs the American people will right the wrong. The welfare of the country rest.i with the peopl , and there iB no occasio for us to lose confidence in ourselves.
