not only failed to bring in enough reYe
nue. 10 moot the expenses OF tho ma
tlonal government, but il has reduced
tho revenue Of all the people. The iacl
that it lails to raise the needed T0Ye'
MUGS for tho daily expenses oil the gov
eminent will condemn 1t in tho judg'
mont OF tho American people, whatever
differing views thOy may have on the
question OF protection aud iroe trade.
"fhs operations Of tho law Of 1896
and that OF 1894 arc too well known ia
the people by their own experience ia
need much comment. But one thing
must not be iOrgotton-that at no time
from the passage OF the Republican
tariff law OF 1890 down to tho close OF
President llarriaOn's administration did
that law fail TO raise al the revenue
needed to meet every expense OF tho
general government, and during no part
OF that period did the gold reserve fall
below 100000. The revonus.raising
power of the Republican tariff law was
only crippled and impaired after the
country had placed in power full Dem
oCraLio administration pledged to over
throw il. And moro than this. Dur
ing that same administration we paid
oil S25O,0OO,00J Of bonds and we can do
It again IN tho American way. That's
the patriotic way.
THE BoSD ISSUE.
Continuing, tho governor presented
the bond issue scheme to keep up the
surplus and with dramatic effect asked
"Who ever heard OF tho Republican
party hiring any one to sustain tho
credit OF the nation? Why, that Ia what
we have always heOn doing, We reduced
the great war debt more than threO.
iourths and our bonds commanded a
premium in all the markets OF the
world, and under tho glorious loader
ship Of John Sherman va made tho
greenback as good as gold, We said to
every man who held grO0nbacks, bring
them right in here and got gold ii YOU
want 1t, but the confidence OF tho whole
people WAS such that nobody cared
what kind OF money ho had in his
clothes. But times have changed! In
fourteen months oil Democratic adj
minislration moro gold was drawn from
tho treasury Of the United States than
during tho fourteen years oil resumption
prior TO that change"
Here the Governor made an appeal
to all citizens to SEQ that no ona who be-
loved in Republican principles should
DO allowed to neglect his duty at the
polls in November, as upon the election
OF the legislature depends who shall be
commissioned for six years to act as
United States senator. At present q
few PopuIistS hold the BALANCED OF power.
"AT0 you satisfied with Nj. Btico?
Does he represent you? lIo is not q
candidate in the open, but We have one
candidate in the broad sunlight Of pub.
lie inspection aud we are neither
ashamed nor afraid to name him. Ills
name is Joseph Benson Foraker II
you desire to commission him, then
vote for Joseph L. Blackburn. who has
done 40 much for you, and for Charles
J. Howard, his running mate, and for
Con. Bushnell. ask the same kindly
service you have always done for me. "
Here euded the grNud meeting aud
Gov. Mckinley aud Gen. Bushnell were
driven 10 the hotel, where they met u
number Of friends and werO afterwards
driven to Wheeling TO rest after great
weeks work.
