Major Mckinley, candidate for gov
ernor who in a speech said.
The democratic platform declares
for free and unlimited coinage OF
the silver OF the world. The repub-
Iican platform stands in opposition
to anything short Of full aud COM
plete dollar.
The free coinage demanded by the
democratic platform means that all
the silver of the world can be
brought to the mints Of the United
states and coined at the expense OF
the government. That United
States mInts must receive 4-122
grains of silver worth so cents the
world over. 1t does not take very
wise men to see that this short dol
lar will become in tire the exclu-
sive circulating medium Of the coun-
try. Gold will be taken from the
circulation of the country and
nOarded, and the effect will be that
the circulating medium will be re-
iuced to the extent Of gold now cir
culatlng and we will be compelled
to do the business of the country
with the silver dollar exclusively.
Any international agreement of ma
tlons which are on a silver basis
alone, are the poorest nations of the
world and are In constant finan-
cial disturbance and monetary dis

favor of a double standard but not
of free and unlimited coinage until
the nations Of the world join us in
guaranteeing free silver status
which their laws now accord to

Major said revenue tariff such as
the democratic party advocate, was
we'll conceived to benefit every other
nation but this. He said the failure
of a revenue tariff TO supply the
wants Of the government, would re-
suit in direct taxation. The
speaker declared that under "A pro-
tectiye tariff the public debt had
been reduced nearly /, and that the
state debts were also reduced. Ite-
ciproclty, Major Mckinley said, was
q provision which in no way en-
croaches upon the protective princi-
pie nor in any way destroys or un-
dermlnes the protective tariff. The
Major said there was much criticism
about the duty on tin plate, and full
ly as much misrepresentation as
criticism.
