Mckinley Quotes Brice.
Governor Mckinley summarized the
platforms Of both the Republican and
Democratic parties Of Ohio. He con-
graduated the people that at last the
Ohio Democracy had declared for sound
money. After criticising the foreign
and domestic policy of Cleveland's ad.
ministratiOn, the governor asserted that
the real subject of contention in Ohio is
the tariff. He quoted as opposing Sen.
ator Brice as regards the Brice- German
act and he also quoted the Cincinnati
Enquirer as declaring that a veto by
Cleveland would ''be a cleaning up of
much rubbish and uncleanliness in the
Democratic household" Then he
quoted the Ohio Democratic platform
of 1894 fayoriHg further reductions in
the tariff and asked: "Is this rubbish
and uncleanliness in the Democratic
household to stand and that which was
a year ago unworthy and impure and
stanch in the Democratic nostrils, now
to be accepted as worthy and pure?'
One Vital Objection to the law.
"Has the Democratic party of Ohio
changed it's views since September,
1894, and is it now willing that the pro-
teetive duties which are retained in the
Brice- German Wilson act shall remain
and the law be a permanent settlement
of the tariff question?

Cleveland, which puts the wool of the
farmer on the free list and the protee-

corporations and capitalists, to receive
the approval of the people of Ohio by
their votes in November next? My
friends, there is one objection to the
law, if there were no others, which
must make its permsnenCy impossible.
It fails to raise the needed revenue for
the daily expenses Of the government.

How Prosperity Has Come.
Figures were given in detail to prove
that there was always surplns under
the Republican tariff law of 1890, but
always deficit under the Democratic
law Of 1894. He said: ut is loudly
proclaimed through the Democratic
press that prosperity has come. sim

prosperity we have has been a long time
coming, and after nearly three years Of
