a remedy for th. disaster to which labor
was thus exposed, the Issuing of a Mt-cent

wages st there were snd would have led
to the hard'-st kind of straggle on labor's
part to retor Its wags to ita proper

country has been most fort un at a that the

If the danger of four years depression, to
which it would be exposed In case of Mr.

republican success In November, and subse

An amusing 'lenlsods durlne. tha iarh

that the 'enormous nonular n.ai.-i, -

Th. convention waa heartily cheering this
sentiment When the band broke out with
the familiar strains of "Arrsh Oowan.

Mr, Root evidently did not recoania. th.

subsided and he proceeded without a.oln
