His very excuse for hi* hesita- triOns is ‘a r^sbh why he should "wait Too longer. It is true that one of the ^reat aims of tha Republican party .^prosperity, and a prchperity that includes wthin its benefits ail of the ■^pMple of the United States. The aim *f the party is to !>rin* prosperity to ■]bci& employer and employed. It can- do so without aetinf with Justice all. It is because Kepublicanism M-juM t6 aU classes^ and leji&Iates 'wi^out prejudice or hoetility to *ny ’^dne'cSia, i^*t good tiroei are a part «f its controf of national affairs. To judge from Mr, White’s state ment, it would be thouc^t that pros perity was something to be avoided, that there was sonieihing about it that WHS bad for a cc^aivti-y, and that the party that brought It about had to answer to » serious charfc.' Wiat is there in prosperity that offends T What is prosperity, anyway? Our under standing cf the term is that pros perity in a nation means food times, Kood wages and stead; employment for all who are able and willing; to work; that it spells increased deposits ia the banks, plenty of money in cir culation and good business for the merrhants, VOiat Itfr. White's de finition of the term is, of course, we do mt iatoje, but jirosparity has al- fjl^'been regarded as a, dfsirable .a^- ior any nation.
