America Would Hold Her
Own Markets.

PONTIAC, Mich, Oct. 12.-Michigan en-
joys the honor of having two days of
Governor Mckinley. The Governor
started at A. NJ. to-day, gong first to
Mount Clemens, where thousand people
gathered about the platform erected near
the station and were addressed by him.
Clark Hanna OF Cleveland. Ohio. and Gov
ernor Rich. together with General Alger
and F. A. MAYNARD, Repub llcan candidate
for Acknowledgement of Michigan. accom-
panied Mckinley from Detroit, and Gov
erDor Rich shared in the Speech-making
with Ohio's Governor. At Pontiac the
opera-house was jammed. seats. aisles,
stage and every other foot of available
space being occupied. Ex-Congressman
Brewer introduced Mckinley at Pontiac,
referring to HIM as the foremost American
aud the one who viii in all probability be
the next occupant Of the Presidential
chair.
"Our conditions" said Governor Nc
Kinley in the course of a somewhat
lengthy speech, 'are different from Euro
pean conditions, and we want to keep
them different. We want Anne rican con-
ditionS-conditions which will encourage
and produce the highest citizenship. We
cannot maintain our markets unless we
put tariff on the products which come
into this country in competition with our
own. The wages will have to come down
or the foreigner will get this market. If
wages are reduced then we lower the
American standard. and. in my judgment.
we thereby necessarily degrade American
citizenship, and 1 am opposed to that"
The citizens of st. john and Owosso
turned out in force to hear the Governor,
and there was an unusual demonstration.
To the local population was added hun
dreds Of eXcursioDists from Grand Rapids,
Lansing and intermediate points, and the
course from the depot to the hotel. IN
front Of which speaking platform had
been erected, was between double lines of
shouting men. Just below the hotel some
enterprising Democrats bad suspended a
huge sign inscribed, Our factories are all
busy, the result of the Wilson bill" aud
some equally enterprising Republicans
got big piece of canvas with the single
word England" painted on it. and two
stout men held this on poles under the
Democratic sign.
Governor Mckinley gave his audience a
talk about the Repu blican party, saying
Il stood yesterday In the city of jackson
on memorable ground, for in that city the
great Republican party was born. l met
to-day on this platform the only surviving
gentleman of the committee on resolutions
of that historic convention" There were
cries of ''Call him OUT" and Mckinley
called on tall, venerable man seated be-
side him, Hon. Albert Williams, resident
OF Iona. who was greeted with chorus of
cheers.
The assemblage at Grand Rapids TO-
night was one Of the largest seen for
years. Governor Mckinley said in part:
This is a Republican year. The reason
for this is that we have been having ex-
periences with the principles of another
political party, and every State in the
Union that has had an opportunity to
vote has condemned the Democratic adj
ministration and approved Republican
principles. The Governor proceeded on
the same line of argument as in his pre-
viOus speeches.
He left at II 40 tonight for Ohio
