MOOD. Finding they could not got into
the opera house they remained outside
and yelled. Gov. Mckinley yielded to
the demand and appeared on the bal
cony with his hat In his hand, and while
the rain sprinkled his bare head and
face he spoke to the crowd in tho street.

Now. what we want In this country. whether
we be Democrats or whether we be Repnb-
ltcans, what we all want Is good citizens. good
money, good markets, steady employment, aud
good wages, and we have every one to day In q

Tho Governors EnihusiaStlc Reception.
Gov. Mckinley was conducted to the
stage within. He reached il with scme
effort. The crowd felt that its enthusi-
afm would no be fully appreciated il
they did not block the speakers way
and yell and flaunt their hats u nd flags
in his face. Certainly no man was ever
more earnestly received. Reaching the
stage several hundred people FOLLOWED
the Governor, and threat ned by their
action TO shove him owe the foot lights.
Many women were in the audience, and
their demonstrations will be the gain o.
some milliners and dressmakers. The
pro.ninents OF Eiwood and surrounding
towns were about the 81 cake. when he
was introduced By Mr.. Henry, candidate
for Congress from this district.
The difference between protection and
free trade was strikingly and forcibly
illustrated by the speaker, who took a
china water pitcher from the table at
his side and holding 1t up before the
audience told them what the tariff on
the article did for the pottery industry,
and what the result would be If the
Democratic idea Of tariff prevailed,
There was not q boy in the crowd who
was not thus given q lucid object lesson
In the great issue.
In the course Of his talk he made the
following brilliant thrusts. which shiv-
cred the building: The Democratic
party says we can't make t,nplate. 1t

In this country without fear OF contra
diction, because every man before him
had ecen it done, and knew 1t had be n
going IN with entire success fos
months.
It was no trouble to sh>w that pro-
lection improves the condition Of the
workingmen when half his audi ace was
made up Of men who labor , til their
hands, and were there to testify that
protection had increased the q. mand
for their industry md enlarged its re-
ward. It was easy to prove to tho fam
ers that protection advanced their inter
ests when every iillcr o: the soil before
him had found a better market and bet
ter PRICES for his crops because protea-
tion had built up Elws cd within three
years from a village Of 800 people 10 a
growing city Of over 5000. Protec tion
had bettered the coalition Of every man
there, and Gov. Mcf inley found no diff
iiculty In convincing them OF it.

pace with lis prosperity. Over 5000
people came in from all directions to
hear Governor Mckinley, and even
with the best weather the town wouldn't
have been able 10 tako proper care Of
the crowd. That the affair was the en-
tire success that 1t was, in spite Of
drawbacks which would have ruined
anything OF the sort almost anywhere
else, only goes to prove the uncOnqucr.
able enthusiasm Of Indiana Republicans.
The wetter 1t was the louder they
cheered, and n would have imagined
that such weather was just what they
delighted in.
The American Tin-plate Works have
been in operation since Juno IL, and
have already given the lie very effect
ually to the Democratic statement that
tin-plate cannot be made profitnbly and
cheaply In America. A. l.. Conger,
member OF the Republican National
Committee from Ohio, is president Of
the company, which has a capital stock
Of $3OO, dUC. The works are running to
their full capacity, hut are behind In
their orders. So strong a REPUTATION OF
Democratic arguments was too good a
thing for the Republicans to overl Ok,
and for some time they have been a.
ranging q great celebration In connec.
ton with the formal opening of the
works.

for Congress In a Georgian district and
he'd as his OPP onent a big-todied, big

himself on his herculean girth and bell
lowing voice. They came together at
the hastings and the big man got the
floor. He held his opponent up to ridt-

these words:
"W hy, look at that man." pointing u
Stephens as he sat, a mere bundle CT

Central American Coffee.

Guatemalans believe that there is
nc better coffee in the world than
that raised on their W plantations,
and Central American coffee has of
late years acquired a high reputation
in the markets of the world. 1t il
usual for wealthy Guatemalans to
make sure Of good coffee in travelling
by taking along a store OF their own.
A long glass tube, several inches in
diameter, but tapering to a tunnel at
one end, is filled with ground coffee,
and through the mass Is poured cold
water. A strong solution OF coffee
slowly drips from the narrow end OF
the tube, and this liquid is carefully
put up In air-tight vessels, to re
warmed In small quantities and drunk
on the journey.

strict inquiry on the part OF the po-

OF apfin11 no fptInus.

All agree that the issue which IL commanding
the most attention and which Ia most upon
the l:iinds Of the people is the question of the
tariff. 1t requires in this country a little
more than i+Co.U M 600 every year to meet the
current obligations OF the Government. A
million OF dollars must be raised every twenty
four hours. Now there are two kinds OF tariff.
the one q protected tariff. advocated by the Re-
publican party. The other Is the tariff for
revenue only, advocated by the Democratic
party. Either the protective or the revenue
tariff will provide the money requisite for
public purposes. But a revenue tariff will do
nothing else but raise revenue. 1t Ia a tariff
which excludes every other consideration but
revenue. II turns a deaf ear to the labor and
the wages and industrie, of the country. A
protective tariff performs the further service
Of protecting and defending and encouraging
