WHAT tiE HAS TO SAY ABOUT THE
TIN WORK.

dustries, $50, Boys, Blow Your Horns"
Major Mckinley always makes good
speech. but the following has some nm
usually happy hits. 1t was delivered on
recent visit to East Liverpool, o.:
cannot find words to express my ap-
preciation of this friendly visit on the
part of my friends in East Liverpool.
There is no place ] go where l receive
more pleasure than by visit to this
goodly town. come as often as can,
and that is just as often as am invited.
This community, as much as any
other in eastern Ohio, has been in my
fifteen years of public life steadfastly
and enthusiastically my friends. No
matter in what district was situated
whether in the good old Eighteenth or
in the gerrymandered Sixteenth--East
Liverpool has followed me with her
sympathy and support, and through my
entire public life, since its commence
ment, in 1876, she has supported me
with her most generous faith and con-
fidence.
And | can congratulate you, fellow
citizens of East Liverpool, on your mag
nifcent growth since visited you first,
in 1876. find today prosperity on every
hand; beautiful and thriving city Of
HOOD (the gentleman back of me says
$4,000, and that is probably correct, for
i find that the population of city in
creases very rapidly just after the TAX
ing of the census Now in my city of
Canton fair census gave us q, 900 six
months ago, while she is now claim
ing $4,000, so by that ratio my friends
estimation would be about correct.
I But, as was about to say, have
watched your truly wonderful growth
with interest. From a poor little vii
lage with meager schools and poor pub
lie improvements, to thriving manu-
featuring city. with beautiful streets,
large schools and your people crowding
these very hills for spot on which to
build your homes.
And what has brought all this about?
There can be but one answer-your fac
tories. Were these industries on every
hand obliterated your city would GER
tainly go back fifteen or twenty years
But these industries will not be obliter
%ated, and your prosperity will continue
80 long as the present industrial policy
OF the nation will be continued; aye
this prosperity will continue and in
crease just SO long as the Republican
party is continued in power.
You know what the other party pro-
poses in that direction: A duty on your
products, which would put out every
fire in these magnificent works Of yours
or reduce the laboring mans wages to
the low standard of the competing coun-
tries.
There is one thing about the Repub-
lican party, my friends. It can face both
ways without shame. We can look back
into the thirty-five years of our existence
with pride, and we can look forward
with hope and exultation. That, my
friends, can be said of no other political
party.
And there is another thing about the
Republican party: 1t was never against
its country or its flag. Not for one min
ute of our thirty-five years of existence
have we ever been suspected of being
against the government And that,
friends, cannot be said of any other party.
But | did not mean to make speech
here tonight. This is not the time nor
the place. only appeared to express
my pleasure at and thank you for the
opportunity of meeting you once more.
With your permission wish to add
few words about the protective tariff.
This protective tariff principle was
never against our government; 1t was
the principle which supported Washing
ton. Lincoln and Grant, with their
armies, and it has always followed one
flag. Something, my friends, that can
not be said Of the opposing system. 1t
did follow another flag, and rose up
against our own dear stars and stripes
And there is one thing more want to
say of protective tariff: 1t has never
pulled down; it has always builded up;
and for this reason, if for none other, the
protective tariff is the true friend of
every girl and boy struggling upward.
1t will do very well for the moneyed
man who has already amassed wealth, or
the bondholder who has only to cut off
his coupons, or the landlord who collects
his rent each month, to be Free-traders:
but the rising generation who have their
fortunes yet to earn and their careers yet
to shape would do well to support our
present industrial policy, for it gives the
poor boy an equal chance with his more
I. opulent companion.
And there is another reason why
I. don't like the Democracy. They are al
ways trying to check our prosperity.
3 The Democratic press and orator are
now throughout this whole country pre-
dieting disaster and misfortune
Now thew are declaring that we make
''only little tin." What could any one
expect when the law protecting this in
dustry only went into operation the first
of this month? The wonder is that we
are making it at all. We consume so
per cent. of the tin plate of the world,
and we intend making some Of that by
the aid of our new tariff law. and in
> spite Of the Democracy.
just what they are saying now, my
friends of the tin plate industry they
