recent visit to East Liverpool, o.:
81 can not find words" began Maj
Mckinley, ito express my appreciation
of this friendly visit on the part of my
friends in East Liverpool. There is no
place go where receive more pleas
ure than by visit to this goodly town
come as often as I 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, they have supported me
with their most generous faith and con-
fidence.
And ! congratulate you, fellow-citi-
zens Of East Liverpool, on your mag
nificent growth since visited you first,
in 1875. l find to-day prosperity on
every hand; a beautiful and thriving
city Of 1900 1.-THE gentleman back of
me says $1,000, and that is. probably
correct, for find that the population of
city increases very rapidly just after
the taking of the census; now in my
city OF Canton fair census gave us
$1,000 six months ago, while they are
now claiming IS, 900; so by that ratio my
friends estimation would be about cor

"But, as was about to say, have
watched your truly wonderful growth
with interest. From poor little vii
lage, with meager schools and poor
public improvements, to a thriving man.

large schools and your people crowding
these very hills for spot on which tc
build your homes.
"And what has brought all this about!
There can be but one answer-you,
factories. Were these industries or
every hand obliterated your city would
certainly 60 back fifteen or twenty
years. But these industries will not b
obliterated,. and your prosperity vii
continue SO long as the present indus

"You know what the other party pro
poses in that direction: A duty on you

fire in these magnificent works Of yours
or reduce the laboring mans wages t,

countries.
"There is one thing about the repub
lican party, my friends. 1t can fac
both ways without shame. We cal
look back into the thirty-five years O
our existence with pride, and we ca
look forward with hope and exultation
That, my friends, can be said Of n
other political party.
"And there is another thing abou
the republican party: It was neve
against it's country or its flag. Not fc
one minute OF our thirty-five years {
existence have we ever been suspecte
of being against the government. An
that, friends, can not be said Of an

This protective tariff principle w;
