Changes Since 1 896
For more than ten years the Kepubli
can putty has been m charge of nil. de
partments of the government. Tie
people seldom exhibit such steulfa-t
confidence in piny or trust It wiih
entire contr .1 for so long a pei lod. An
other national election is lit hand, ami
it in right that the) slioulJ carefully re
view the manner in which the respon
sibilities have been carried, passing
judgment upon the iniliences and issues
tnat have twen paramount ami the poli
cies that have been adopted. The pre,
i lential election of lrWi hinged upon the
value of the dollar. Should it be scaled
down one-half or niore, or be kept up to
the gold standard, theonly measureuiem
accepted throughout the world ? Should
the debt of the nation be paid in 100
cent dollar or tie adjusted, w ithout the
consent of creditor, to an arbitrary re
duction? The gold standard prevailed
and has been established by the parly
that promised to do it. Such is the
power of example that nearly all the
nations of the earth now recognhe the
uniform standard, and the few nations
that do not are place I at a disadvantage.
All that the Republican party proruisd
in regard to the value of the dollar has
been fulfilled.
Nearly eleven years ago the protective
tariff was icstored by Republican vote.
Another distinct promise was thus
fuly redeemed. The present tariff law,
shaped by such practical economic stu
dents as McKinley ana Iiingley lias been
in force for more than a decade. It is
identified with thecouutry's greatest eia
of prosperity. Its enemies said a return
to protection would destroy our foreign
trade. But the oppoite has happened
Our sales abroad, including manufac
tures, have largely it creased and at this
time the balance of tnule in our favor
is at the highest recorded point. I'm
some unexpected th.ngs have hnppe n J
since that 1H!I, calling for the proof of
the ability to meet emergencies not
looked for. The war wttti Spain Cwir
in 1898 and Was ended before the clo-c
of that year. Its story is Well known to
the people. Within the decade referred
to Hawaii, the I'hilippineg, Porto Rico
and some other islands have been added
to the national territory. We have
looked to Cuba's interests as a ward
while it trim to organize a stable govern
ment oi it own. A Panama zo e ha
been acquired and the interoceanicc:inul
Is moving on rapidly.
An irrigation law has pasted and $10,-

shall no doubt antagonize certain cioiis,
