IN a speech delivered at Toledo, oh

IN a speech delivered at Toledo, Ohio,
on February 12, 1891, Mr.. Mckinley at
the cold soup banquet lin Toledo spoke
exactly as follows, on President CleVe-
lands opposition TO free coinage Of
silver:
"During all of his years at the head Of
the Government he was dlshonoring one
Of our precious metals, one OF our own
great products, discrediting silver and en-.
HANGING the price OF gold. He endeayored
even before his Inauguration TO office to
stop the coinage of silver dollars, and
afterwards, and to the end of his admin
istration, persistently used his power TO
that end, he was determined to contract
the circulating medium and demonetize
one of the coins of commerce, limit the
value Qk money among the people, make
moneyScapce and therefore dear"
Now this same Wm. Mckinley, Jr,
only six months later, is on the stump in
Ohio denouncing the silver dollar 40
an eighty cent dollar. II this is not

FOOD FOR JACKAssRs.

The Canton Evening Repository of q
recent date published an extract from a
speech delivered by Mckinley before
the Rochester University on March 10,
1891. The Repository heads the ex-
tract "a Daily Thought From One of
McKinley's Speeches" We copy the ex-
tract entire:
"But they say that under a revenue
tariff, we have larger export of agricul.
tural products. History and experience
do not teach us that. We exported from
1876 to 1861, 60, ,440, ,173 bushels OF wheat, in
the whole fifteen years under revenue
tariff. In 1873, we exported 72,4A,O 600
bushels in single year-7,OOO,OOO more
than we exported during the entire fifteen
years, from 1916 TO 1861. In 1879, we ex-
ported 132, 1863, 900, or twice the amount in
the entire fifteen years. In 1880, we ex'
ported 153, 900; in 1881, 150,OOO,OOO; in
1882, 100000; in 1884, 10000, 600; in 1887,
101, 1897 900 bushels. Why, from the begin
ming of the government, from 1873 to 1851
we exported only SS,0OO,OOO bushels OF
wheat; and since 1861 we have, IN single
year, exported more than twice that
amount"
Any man with as much brains as
two ordinary gray geese knows that we
export more wheat now than we did in
1916, because we raise about four times
as much. But every man also knows
who knows enough to distinguish day
light from moonlight, that we never
exported a bushel of wheat on account
of Protection. On the contrary, Pro-
lection has been largely instrumental
in restricting wheat export.
But the above extract from Mckin-
ley could be better used as free trade
argument to prove that the home mar.
ket theory is a fraud, as we have been
compelled to export more wheat under
Protection than we did under free
trade.

BENNINGTON, VT, Aug 19.-ISpecial.l-
This little town has not labored under
such excitement and anticipation since

At 80 this morning the troops began to

THE ooNvENr1oN AND ITS WORK,

The county ticket nominated on
Tuesday gives universal satisfaction.
The convention was one of the best
most harmonious and most enthusias-
tic ever held in the county. The ticket
is well balanced and judiciously distrib-
uted as to residence of the candidates.
Furthermore it is a representative
ticket, it represents the people and rep
resents the Democratic party.
If the masses of the Democratic
party do their duty every man on this
ticket will have one thousand majority.

WICKED PENNSYLVANIA EDITOR,
From the Meadvllle Gazette.


1t is reported that Prof. Theodore
Armstrong has retired from his posi-
tion as professor in Mount Union
College. The change was made on &C.
count of objections made to him by the
college authorities, because of his
prominence as horse breeder. The
mongrels seem TO have become pref
udiced against the thoroughbreds, so
that the separation was deemed adj
visable. Prof. Armstrong will not be
injured in any way by the change, but
it will be bad for Mount Union College,
whose chief distinction heretofore has
been that one of its best Professors
was the owner of Bayard, the greatest
son of Pilot Jr. Up to date the produce
of the stock farm by actual perform
ance, has shown up much better than
that of the college.

THERE is feeling all over Stark

that Republican emissaries, paid by

last October, the farmers ought not to
be even liable to be fooled again. With
wool only 25 cents, the farmers ought
