republic republic The fear 0 of f what hat they n may dp do has plunged the tile country into a depression which lias has stopped half its business busi busi- l ness for the past six months Is that a financial s system to be proud of With all the profits from farm forest orchard factory and mine which must amount this year to tomo mo more e than in gold the baIk bankers rs are arc afraid to lend

of which the money powers combined to prevent by electing Mr i r l McKinley Kinley in iu 1896 we discover r no now that in in its workings it has not only closed the ports ports of half the inhabitants of the earth against our oth exports orts but it has at the same time reduced the cost measured in our oui money of f all the tho products of the Ori orient 60 per cent And so whiles while we can export nothing to China that great empire is sending pig iron across ss miles of ocean oceal and selling it in ou out ports at a profit at prices which this country cannot cannot cannot can can- not compete against Further she is preparing to send coal in tho they same way and tp help her lier pur our blessed government has locked the coal of f Alaska up ill so that no miners can be employed there China and Japan are as swiftly as possible building cotton an and woolen f factories ies to flood bur OUli our country with their goods And it is all because tI the heresies heres es of Mr Ir Bryan were Bryan were crushed in 1896 Wi Will the Chicago Tribune try to deny any of the above And can it get Mr 1 Lymen Gage who as as' secretary of the trea treasury ury put t the e final
