position which the Republican party occupies today In this state and the natIon at Iarl There has been no perIod in oUt histor marked with such a abundance abund-ance of prosperity as hat which blese the American people at this time So enormous and varied are the activities which control all the industrial and commercial channels of the country that It 15 difficult to realize that only three short years ago all the countrs commerce was In a state of most discouraging dis-couraging depression To remove the blghtng evils of the time was the promIse and purpose or the Republican part How well that promise and purpose pur-pose have been fulfilled under a Re pubUcan administration every citizen evel ctzen In the country may learn at his own door In the south durIng the frt lIve months of the current year 100 sin dies and 1GOGO of capital have been added to the cotton mills The adde mis Te exports of cotton cloth have been almost amost doubled since 1896 Citizens at Pen t sylvania nee not be told that her I great Iron and steel Industries have prospered as never before in theIr hIs I tory Progress In this great feature or I the industrial field has been s pro I dIgIous as to almost be revolutionary I Production has been cared revoluton tent which in former times vould have resulted In such overabundance that collapse would have been Inevitable but now even with the thousands ot mills pressed to their utmost the de intend exceeds the supply and order are booked so tar ahead both of foreign for-eign and domestic trade that there can be no doubt of long continued activity Boost enslvans Induste Within the last year the exports ot Iron and steel have increased 33 percent per-cent and thee Is every reason to be leve that American manuatuers or these products have gaIned a lasting foothold abroad In Is96 the vauo lastn exports of Iron and steel and mnufat tunes thereof was 411608 whereas during the fiscal year ending In June of 1899 the value of these products was vaue pruct wa 9375951 at more than double that or three ear ago Coincident wIth this remarkable Increase In exports is the no less decrease 1n the imports of the same product Three YWI ago the value vaue of such imports was 5338103 while during the year which has jut closed they are valued at 2098239 or hess than half that of 1896 The figures tel the story or Ue plEnomenal change Dung this recent period or Repub lcan supremacy the great agricultural classes have been blessed clases blesse wIth abundant abun-dant cps Tee have been marketed at price which not only enabled the farmer to live comfortably but to r cover from the disasters of cove disster previous year But the mot significant Instance In-stance Is found In the state of Nebraska ka where from 189 to 1896 there was n ea 1 which the mortgages fled did not exceed mortgages released while durIng 183 and 188 the mortgages released exceded the mortgages fled from 25 to 33 pet cent So might industry In-dustry ate Industry be rvlew 1 and we would find that It would all be a record of growth and prosperity the fulfillment of the promise made by the Republican part of advancing wage and wIdening fields of employment to buS axed happy millions who only so recently were s despondent and despaIring de-spaIring The declaration made In 1896 by the peol1e of the Unite States In bEralf ot an unquestionable money standard gave such assurance of sable cnd tons that the present season of high activity could be said to date front hat eenLul day 1 may not douot that these blessings will contInue so long as the governmental
