REFERRING TO the speech of Governor
Mckinley at the Music Hall last night
the Philadelphia Times says:
Under such favorable conditions Gov
ernor Mckinley. who besides being one
of the ablest Republican statesmen of
the day, has made the subject of protec-
tion study of his life, could hardly
have failed 90 make good speech from
the protection standpoint or keep the
audience in the best ofhumor with him
self He was handling the subject with
which he was familiar in all its details
and the strong points of which he has
reiterated time and again. He made his
telling points 60 an audience already con
WINGED and determined TO applaud In adj
vance, and he certainly had no cause to
complain of lack of enthusiasm for high
protection and it's chosen champion
The weakness Of the meeting was that
the audience wanted TO hear only one
side of the question and the speaker
wanted the audience to have what IL
wanted and nothing else Such meetings
do not furnish discussion of the great
issues of the day nor encourage those
who attend to hear both sides and form
deliberate conclusions from all the facts
presented. Their only useis TO confirm
hide-bound partisans in hide bound part
isanship. For this purpose the meeting
Of last night was a great and unqualified
success. As q contribution 10 the calm
and rational discussion of the public
questions of the day, which alone can
furnish a broad minded intelligent citi
zenship it was worth just pothing at
ALL
Mr.. Mckinley practically appears
through the country as the special attor-
ney for a class of MeKinleyed industries.
He proclaims that they are paupers, not
able to earn a decent living, and that
they must have the assistance Of the
people; that the government must legis-
late TO increase their profits, but that
they make the country rich by enriching
themselves at the country's expense It
is the same plea that one
farmer in the country might make
in order to have all other farmers in the
county contribute fertilizers to his land.
He would be more prosperous, raise
heavier crops, get rich faster. buy more
land. employ more men, and have a tire
mendously great time generally. The
other farmers could stand off and ad-
mire him, or go ont Of business.

REFERRING to Governor Mckinley one
Of the papers says he is thoroughly in
formed as to the needs Of the country.
BY that the writer possibly means to say
that he is capable Of changing the rates
of tariff ON eight hundred articles so as to
secure greater profits TO the manufact-
urer higher wages to the worlSingmen,
lower prices 20 the consumers and a
sufficient income to defray the expenses
of the government. Is not that
an imEossibility for any mani OF course
It is. The careless writer who sug-
gested such infinite wisdom in
the possession Of one mar lacks ability
to take a calm view Of the situation; he
is a parroty repeater Of cant phrases.

writer. He should have been well
enough informed TO know that some in
terested man wrote every item Of the
Mckinley tariff bill; that Millionaire
Oliver wrote the metal schedule. which
he afterwards descr ibed as satisfactory
that Judge Lawrence wrote the wool
schedule: that every schedule, in fact,
was written by an interested expert who
owned the goods on which the prices
were increased. II that is true how doe.
