Mckinley made tho opening speech at
Lima. In Il he sounded the keynote
OF the battle 40 far a. his party Is con.
corncJ. lie treated 'svorably on the
currency issue, and left no room for
dispute As TO his attitude In relation to
free coinage Of silver In his speech
he said:
~ am In favor OF tho double standard,
but am not la favor Of tho FREQ and
unlimited coinage of silver In tho United
States, until the nations ot the world
shall join rs IN guaranteeing to silver a

The wool question Is also figuring
largely In tho Ohio campaign. And
10 complicated phase has II assumed
that It Ia much In the nature Of pug
ale. For tho consideration Of non.
partiEans, We give extracts from the
speeches Of party mon on both sides.
In the speech already quoted from,
Mr.. Mckinley remarks:
"rhcrc was much said by Governor
Campbell In hi. speech at Cleveland
about the low price Of wool. lIo stated
correctly, aud have no doubt by mad
vertonce, that the farmer Of Ohio wa,
onlygo.tlng 20 cents pound forhls wool
AZ the tlmo no made this statement III,
farmer was receiving Tor his choice CLIPS
% aud % cents. The Inference from hli
speech would be that tho Increased dut,
on wool il the cause OF depressed prices
II this be No. thon tho tariff Is not tax
This was not tho Democratic doctrine II
Ohio In 1855 aud 1884. They then DO
lioyod that the tariff did help tho wool
grower, and that great outrage Ia,
been committed upon him whom the dut'
wa, reduced II per cont by tho tariff Law
Of 1858, They 40 declared In n documen
issued by tho Democratic State com,nitlo
ofihal year aud demanded OF the wool
growers or tho State that the party tina
committed that great outrage should b
defeated a the polls. Aud may say II
passing that they were defeated. Thel
statement was that tho Ohio wool.grow
or- had been ileocod Of sGOOj,O oO by IN
reduction OF II per cont. Of tho duty. Nh
Governor was ono OF those who believe,
II then.
"rho WRONG OF 1853 was rlghtod at tn
Inst momon, that the Republican part
secured control Of Congress. and was no
rlghIed In all tho years the Democrat
were In control. The now law gives III
wool'grower better protection than b
ever had before, The wool Of the worl,
has fallcn In price. American tarln, do IA
Tx the price N foreign wool, but they d
stand as a wall Of defense to the Amer
eau wool'growcr against tho wool pro
dueed on cheaper lands aud by choapo
labor In other countries"
As to the effects Of the tariff o
woods the quotations In Bradstreet NJ
gleen by some Democratic paper
showing that the price of foreign wool
used for carpets and cheap woolens ha
increased under the Mckinley bin
while the price Of American woods ha
decreased, and that the increase In ia
former corresponds with the docreas
In the latter. Other Democratic paper
shift tho Issue TO the question OF sui
sidy. Among these are the Cleyelaul
fdin dealer, which thus replies to MI
Mckinley;
ave 10 moi see how any supporter
tho Mckinley bill In It's entirety can oil
