Peaco baa been de- H clarcd and forolgn trado reestallsh- H od. Disabled veterans ot tho war 9 havo boen generously provided for. H Great strides havo. been mado In ro- H establishing agriculturo and Uvo H stock raising, by protection from ruin jH ous foreign competition and by provid H lng now lines ot credit and avendea jH to forolgn markets. A budget plan H has boon evolved, and Is actually In H operation, marking a long stop to- H ward tho end of government wasto H ;travagance. Dctlntto , steps H havo been taken to put tho railroads H back on their feet, so they may bo H able to furnish employment to tho- H sands now out of 'work, may rendor H efficient sorvico, and reduce rates, H effecting a roductlon In the cost ot H living, and a stimulus to business.

H Tho houso of' Representatives, after sH weeks of continuous night and day M work by many ot its members, has M passed both a revenue and a tariff M bill that together will moot our un- H usual financial needs, and at the M eamo time unshacklo business and M manufacturing, and provide cm.poy- 9 inent for Increased millions.'
