American people, turning from the
Democratic party, entrusted the power
of the United States four years ago to a
Republican chief magistrate and a Re­

as sure to produce conditions even
worse thun those from which relief was
sought, promised to restore prosperity
by means of two legislative measures—
a protective tariff and a law making
gold the standard of value.
The |xxi-
ple, by great majorities, issued to the
Republican party a commission to en­
act these laws. This commission has
been executed, and the Republican
{■ledge is redeemed; and prosperity
more general and more abundant than

American credit stands higher than
