Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Conditions and Events Whose Combination Forced the Nomination of William McKinley for President The blinding whirl of events rolls within the heavy cycles of time, and every revolution inevitably raises once to the top the sorrowful side. Every crisis has its master, dragged by Fate from none knows where, as every evil has its end, though the path to it be long. There came a time of unrest in the United States. In the past there had been times of trouble, periods of national travail, but their causes had been comparatively extraneous. They had not been born of poverty so prevalent as to dominate national thought. Bad government caused this time of unrest. And, in a Republic, who, if not the people, shall be blamed for bad government? Their error here was not one of insanity, it was merely one of bad judgment. Surely the nation at large was not afflicted with the suicidal mania. The people had comparatively good times, yet contentment was a stranger. With them there seemed to some to be the paradoxical condition that sufficiency was not enough. So they tried an experiment. Its other name was disaster. What they conceived was a promise of greater strength and beauty proved to be a threat that breathed extraordinary venom. They drank of the promise, but not long for suddenly the nation was seized with convulsions. Soon there was utter stagnation of what business was not actually paralytic. This state, of its own quality, reacted and aggravated the very condition that was its cause. And so swung to and fro the pendulum of negative prosperity, each arc shorter than the last before, slowly but incessantly nearing the instant when motion would cease and the world of business and of peace would be dead. But the people of the nation, both those whose palms were calloused and those whose hands were soft, had clear eyes, eyes through which now operated a keener discernment and a resultant vigor of determination that was puritanic. And, in the instant that they saw the terror of the conditions, they saw, also, the remedy that would prove itself at first a cooling emolient and at last a cure.
