Governor Mckinley's Address.
Governor Mckinley began his speech
with an eulogy of New England and
then went on to say that the question of
party ascendancy, always practical and
just, now is Of very serious import to
all our great business and commercial
interest. Indeed, it concerns us all and
free, fun and fair discussion of the is
sues it involves must inevitably lead
us to just and wise conclusion. The
Republican party now, as always, in
vites the fullest discussion of its princi-
pals and policies.
In less than two years under the fiscal
policy of the present administration the
government has been compelled to bor-
row sl63, GOO; or $S1. 500, 600 for every
year, $6 600 for every month and
$225,OOO for every day since the in
auguration of President Cleveland in
1888. The lack of confidence in the
financial policy of the government is
nowhere made more manifest than in
the drains which have been made upon
the treasury for the redemption of the
greenbacks.
President Harrison paid off 1896, 0OO,-
600 of the public debt and turned over
to Mr.. Clevelands administration S124.-
100000 surplus. There was not a mo-
ment from the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Harrison to the second Inaugural
tion of Mr.. Cleveland in which we did
not collect for every day of every year
suit1cient revenues to pay every de-
mand and obligation of the govern
ment.
President Harrison's administration
was bondpaying, not bond-issuing
administration.
We Want Business.
What we want in this country is
general resumption of business. We
want the restoration of prosperity and
confidence, which we enjoyed before the
change. Business at home will bring
it and it will bring good money in
abundance. and neither will come in
any otherF ray. You will not restore
active business and good wages by a
policy which transplants any part of
our established business to Europe.
What we want what we must have
is enough money to run the govern
ment, and it must be borne in mind
constantly that we have the best gov
ernment and highest civilization to
maintain of any government and civili-
zaton Of the world. We must forever
avoid that condition which was stated
in omen senate a few weeks ago when
the assistant treasurer at New York.
Mr.. Jordan, notified the government Of
the United States that we could not
hold out for more than another day
longer and that unless relief came this
great government must suspend pay
men..
The Way to stop Loans.
My fellow citizens, the way to stop
loans is to stop deficiencies, loans and
