An uNoEnrA1N KEY NoTE.

Major McISinley's speech AZ Niles,
the key note of the campaign, is given
In fun by the NEwe-DEMoCRAT. This
Is done as o matter of compliment TO
our distinguished fellow townsman, as
well for the information of our thous-
ands Of readers.
At some future time we shall take
occasion to refer 20 the speech more at
length, but in this issue will attempt
no more than 60 make as plain as pos
sible the Majors position on the silver
question. This may be little difficult
since he has be IN quoted on both sides
of the question, but we will do the best
we can, presumlng that his latest ut
terances are an index of the state of his
feelings at the time they we're uttered.
AS late as February ~, 1891, McKin-
ley in his speech at the Toledo Ban
quet, referring TO our distinguished Ex-
President, Grover Cleveland, said;
During all his years at the head. of
the government he (Cleveland) was dis.
honoring one of our precious metals,
one of our own products, discrediting
silver and enhancing the price of gold,
He endeavored even before his inaugu-
ration to stop the coinage of silver dol
lars, and afterwards, and to the end of
his administration, persistently used
his power TO that end. He was deter
miued to contract the circulating med.
ium and demonetize one of the coins of
commerce, limit the volume of money
among the people, make monev
scarce and therefore dear"
Compare this arraignment of Grover
Cleveland with the utterances of Major
Mckinley, found in his speech to day
and we are led to conclude that what
the Major condemned six months ago
he commends and adopts to-day. This
Is one of the most remarkable CONVEX
sions on record, and Mr.. Cleveland will
find it excellent reading. But the Ma
jor may change his key note in much
less time than he hes done In the past.
Better cut this out for reference when
the band strikes up another tune.

THERE was a slim attendance of Re
publicans over at Youngstown to ar
range for the Niles meeting and an
utter absence of enthusiasm, The
Vindicator says:
The Mahoning valley has not been
benefited by the Mckinley tariff and
the people know 1t. There have been
more failures week by week through
out the country since the bill went into
operation than at any time except dur
ing periods of panic under the old war
tariff; wages have not advanced nor
trade revived, and Republicans know ii
here as well as they do elsewhere. The
fact of the matter is they are tired OF
it, and in the facts which we have men,
toned may be found the cause of the
mournful melancholy of last nights
meeting, which was little else but q
farce, without fun, if such thing is
posSible,

age of all the silver produced from
American miues and we recommend
such tariff duties as will protect our
country and its currency from the de.
basement which will surely follow if
this nation is made the dumping
ground for all the silver of the world.
The above is the free silver plank of
the Pennsylvania Republican platform,
Mckinley bill and the same platform
Mckinley himself stood upon when he
wrote out his declaration for Farmer
Bryan last fall. For consistency's sake
the Major should be leading the hosts
across the Allegheny foot hills, instead
of denouncing the silver plank in the
Ohio Democratic platform.

GOVERNOR HILL on behalf of the
great state of New York, not only re-
ceived President Harrison with proper
respect and dignity, as was required of
him, when he visited the state capital,
on his present trip, but went further
and specially praised and complimented
whatever he found good in the Presi-
dent and his administration. The COM
ments of the Watertown Times (Rep.)
might be read with profit by the Cleve.
of small fry Republican concerns, as q
guide to department in the treatment
of Governor Campbell in this campaign.
The Times says:
All this may be part Of Gov. Hills
method of playing what he calls the
game of politics, but whatever the mo-
tive, 1t is an excellent method and will
do good deal Of good. 1t is playing
the game like gentleman and not like
a low-bred bully, as is so often prac-
tised. 1t Is lesson that Americans
of all parties need to be taught, that
courtesy is of itself the best politics,
and Gov. Hill, master of the science,
can do more than anyone else in i'm
pressing the lesson. 1t is, besides, the
keenest of rebukes to that element in
politics which arrogates to itself all the
culture and wisdom which speaks for
the scholar in politics, and which at
the same time uses the most brutal
methods, assails private character the
most shamefully and seeks to belittle
opponents, that this strict partisan, this
machine politician, should show what
real decency in politics consists Of

tober, November and December of last
year, and there is scarcely manufacture
ed darticle which goes into the family and
which is classed as necessity that has
not fallen In price and is less than il has
been for many years.
The above is from Major Mckinley s
keynote speech, in which he claims to
see National prosperity in the business
stagnation that has followed the unset.
tied conditions of high tariff. But
how does this correspond with the
claims he set up last fall that high
tariff stimulated trade, doomed prices
and increased wages; that "cheap" aud
nasty" were synonyms and a cheap
coat makes a cheap man? In his
efforts as straddler, both on the tariff
and silver question, the Major has split
himself wide open and that before the
campaign has we'll opened.

LIMITATIONS OF HIGH rAR1F.
tFrom the Cleveland Plain Doalor1

NHIOil llc OioNSiuhu Il lulu bSttici'J
In the so-called science of protection
high price is the sole object of high
tariff. If that be not accomplished the
measure fails in its purpose and is left
without excuse for its existence. The
fact is pointed out by the McTintax-
ties that for the past thilty years un-
der high tariff prices have steadily
declined. So they have. All over the
world, since the world began, prices
have been steadily declining. This is
due to the invention and Improvement
of machinery; to the cultivation of the
skill of the hands; to the application of
steam and electricity; to the discovery
of cheaper materials and better pro-
cesses Of manufacture, and, above all,
to the cheaper transportation over
railroads and steamships, the ever ac-
tive and insuppressible agents of free
trade. The only part protection has
ever played in this gradual and healthy
decline is that of partial obstruction.
A high tariff can raise prices to our own
people and that is the limit to its power.

M'KINLEY's LAST BAD BREAK. !
from the Masslllonlan.

The Major does not seem to have yet
discovered the monumental blunder he
perpetrated at the Sandusky picnic. If
he knew what he was talking about the
charge would be worse than any which
can be predicted on ignorance.
"Why, in Canada, wool is only 1S
cents, and you farmers know il" he said,
"and If 1t were not for protection wool
would not be even q cents in the Unit
ed States"
Does the Major know that Canadian,
Australian and English woods are Un-
washed. Montreal papers quots uu-
washed wool 18 and 10 cents.
The prices are just 10 cents in this
country for unwashed wool.
What is Left of your picnic speech?
Did you blunder or mean to mislead ?

THE CURRENCY or THE TIMES

The money we had, "shinplasters,n SO
called, viz. 6A, l21$, IS and 50 cents, iss
ued by any one that could get them printed
and induce any person to take them,
but when presented for payment they
followed the modern greenback theory by
taking up the old and giving new ones.
After the Ohio canal was commenced
banks were started in nearly every town
in the State. We had the Farmers Bank
of Canton, the German Bank of Wooster,
the Owl Creek Bank of Mt. Vernon, and
what we called "red dog" issued by the
st. Clair Bank of Michigan, and the pay
ment of IL guaranteed, IN large red letters
on the back, by Mr.. Smith, of Newark,
Ohio, who had a large distillery at that
place; but, unfortunately, one day the
bottom of Mr.. Smiths still dropped out
and "red dog money" went, not up the
spout, but into the gutter. Early in 1887
every bank in the State failed and their
notes were worth from ten to fifty cents
on the dollar. The only bank in the State
| that claimed TO redeem all their notes was
the Western Reserve Bank of Warren,
but don't think they had any notes out in
