Which was made to the Conven proof of the falsity of democratic free Silver argument foul in the present Prosperity of the of the american nation. During the free Silver Campaign of 1896 Bryan and his party orators unanimously declared that the reason for the fearful stagnation of business was the Lack of Money. They charged that the continuance of the Gold Standard would not Only prolong the Money Stringency but increase it until the whole country would be absolutely ruined. On the other hand the Republican party and William Mckinley told the people there was Money enough in the country but it was lying Idle the Tariff for Revenue Only policy having discriminated against our Farmers wage earners manufacturers and merchants so that Little work was being done hundreds of thousands of ageless men were living on credit and capitalists were fearful of investing because of the movement towards the dishonest financial policy of free Silver. As soon As William Mckinley the Champion of american industries was elected and Bryan ism repudiated the country took on As it were new life proving truth of Republican promises. Fires were kindled machinery set in motion wage earners employed Farmers received Good prices for their products Money sought investments new factories were erected and we Hen the Dingley Tariff went nto effect general Prosperity we Ith beaming countenance went marching throughout our great country. There is plenty of Money in the country to do business now that the country has the business to do. The democratic party has Only itself to blame for the deep seated conviction in the minds of the american people that As political guides it is unreliable and dangerous. Figures As a Rule Are uninteresting but the following showing How financially Rich Uncle Sam has grow to be in the last three years Appeal to every Patriot. Uncle Sam has More Gold today than any nation in the we orld and his Stock is increasing at a marvelous rate. The Gold in the respective leading countries is United states.$1,000,000,000 France. 810,600.000 Russia. 756,600,000 Germany. 668,500.000 United kingdom. 438,000,000 gain in the United states. 1873 135,000.000 1880352,000,000 1890695,000,000 1893598,000,000 june so 1897696,000,000 june i 18991,000,000,000 George e. Roberts director of the mint says that the unite i states is the first nation to reach the billion Dollar Mark. He says that on june i the Gold Coin in the United states amounted to $363,741,252, while the Bullion in the National treasuries aggregated $121,742,352. This makes a total of $985,483,504. Experiences the past three years have conclusively proved the correctness of the Republican Tariff and financial policies. The Silver monster and my lean.
