The Republican party promised prosperity through the instrumentality of the Dingley bill. It has been a law for six months and is a dead failure. Instead of increasing the revenues it has decreased them. Instead of opening the mills it has closed them. Instead of raising wages it has lowered them. Instead of bringing prosperity it has brought panic. disaster. and business paralysis. The restriction of immigration. another wild panacea you now cry for.will not relieve the congestion. the disaster. and the depression. You have no other remedy to offer. You dare not attempt to retire the greenbacks as the bankers of the country desire you to do.
