Canton, o., Oct. 10.-Each day is
outdoing al records of enthusiasm and
the number in Canton. Forty special
train loads of people came today. At
Z o'clock this evening more delega-
tons were coming. They came in
greater numbers than ever before. The
paraphernalia of parade was %outdone.
Merchants, workingmen, hardware
men, commercial travelling men, Dish,
ops, preachers, miners, evangeiists. pot,
ters. bankers, railroad men. southern
planters, iron operatives, moulders and
many Other trades and professions
each had special parties and process
sions. They came from Iowa, New
York, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Michi-
gan, Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia,
Maryland and Ohio in large delega-
tions. They came in small parties from
a dozen other states. They crowded
Cantun's wide streets for miles as they
were never crowded before. They
marched and counter marched with
sound and music galore. They out
yelled the wonderous yell of yesterday,
the famous rebel yell" from Shenan-
doah valley of Virginia. They surged
about the Mckinley home and crowded
over the porches and the reviewing
Glands until women tainted and men
paled, fearful Of panic, and calm and
cool among all this wonder of political
demonstration. Major Mckinley was in
The midst of II all day. To have given
been a physical impossibility. He made
more than a score of addresses and
numerous replies besides. His friends
who were with him on his memorable
campaign of 1894, from the lakes to the
gulf, and from Maine to Kansas, when
he made nearly 500 speeches in four
months, say the campaign then did not
compare with the campaign he is now
going through. He was accessible to
everyone. He only stopped shaking
hands with thousands today and to
iiithN auul CSSCo anu lHtl DpISDIldlly
greet other delegations. His voice rang
out clear and strong. Wherever his
eyes turned today from early morning
till late tonight he looked into the eyes
of a sea of faces. His friends have WON
dered at his endurance. His visitors
today marveled at it. Congressman
Boutelle of Maine said nothing like
today's doings had ever been known in
political history. Murat Halstead said
the world had never known of mortal
man ever being given such greetings.
Tonight at 10 o'clock the Maryland
delegation is holding a mass meeting at
the tabernacle. The streets are filled

DEMOCRACY AND FIAT NONE,

DEMOCRACY AND FIAT MONEY.
Washington, Oct. 11.-John B. Pros
tor OF Kentucky. the chairman of the
United States civil service commission.
has made public an article reviewing
the history of the democratic party's
position on the question Of the gold
standard. Mr.. Proctor says he has been
at some pains to collect authentic in
formation regarding the coinage laws
of the past, which satisfied him that the
trainers Of the constitution and the
founders of the government were uni
ted and determined that the coined
value OF our gold and silver money
should correspond with the market
value Of the bullion contained. This,
Mr.. Proctor says, is demonstrated by
the writings Of Jefferson, Monroe and
Hamilton. Mr.. Proctor quoted many
high democratic authorities in support
of his position, and concludes by say
ing that many others might be cited to
show that the free silver plank in the
Chicago platform is a violation Of dem.
ocratic principles and that no man adj
vocating fiat money has a right to call
himself a democrat.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-THE committee of
the Trades and Labor assembly, sent
to Mexico by that organization ito in
vestigate the condition Of the aboring
classes of that country" has returned
to Chicago, and submitted its report at
the meeting Of the assembly this after
noon.
The report was adopted by an almost
unanimous vote, only two members
speaking in opposition to 1t.
The delegates claimed, in submitting
their report, that they carried out their
mission in an unbiased and non-parti-
san manner, and they simply pictured
the low state Of the working classes as
1t was, without reference to political
questions. There were many ejacula-
tons of establishment at the ptitiable
pictures presented, and the motion to
adopt the report called forth but little
debate. The report in part rs as fol-
lows:
The first stop made by your commit.
tee was at - Paso, Texas, where we
Investigated the wages paid and the
condition 81 the American laborers.
From that point we crossed to the city

At this point a complete change met

our mission began. We took observa-

A PECULIAR MISSION.
The mission intrusted to your COM
mission is a peculiar one. We were
sent to study the social and financial
conditions of a far away people. We
are plain ~toilers. Injured to the hard
knocks CT the factory and workshop
and none are better qualified to inves-
tigate or to feel and sympatize with the
workers of another country than men
from our ranks. We did not go loaded
with credentials, to be entertained by
the people Of the better classes. or yet
as scholars to describe the monuments
of histonic interest, or to have our
poetic fancies inspired by the landscape
and azure skies, or build up wasted
energies in the healthful air OF that
southern cline. but to go among the
common people, who are Of our own
class and study conditions from that
standpoint. Hence, this epistle does
not abound in high-sounding p%latitudes
on the sublime and beautiful of that
country. but on facts that still exist
and are ready to speak for themselves
to those who will go and seek as we
have done; and should they do SO, they
will feel as we do, that the American
workingman is a prince compared to
the workingmen of Mexico. That in
this country all stand equal in social
and political life and In that political
right they should exercise with car

least did call on him, though there had
been no acts of violence. The 5th Mich,
igan state regiment came and remained
here nearly four weeks. All the mines
received protection, except the Win,
throp which felt that it did not need
any, and not a soldier came near its
property. 1t employed no extra watch
men, had no troops, left 500. OG% worth
Of machinery and surface improve
ments all unguarded. and no attempt
was made to destroy or injure any of
IN. Three weeks before the strike end
ed, the miners voted to allow the Win
throp men to go back to work, which
was done. and they worked steadily
during the last three weeks, while the
soldiers were there guarding the prop
erty of the other mines in district
lon the first day of this month all
of the mines of the Ishpeming district
reduced wages with the exception of the
Winthrop. The employees there are still
receiving the same wages that were
paid before the cut at other places. Wa
ges are maintained, but this mine has
paid no dividend for the past three
years, though in ordinary times it is
very profitable. Other mines have paid
dividends during that time, but the
president of the winthrop, Mr.. NJ. A.
Hanna, thought 1t better to allow the
employees to earn a living than to
squeeze out a dividend by reducing wa
ges. The Lake Superior iron mine in
which Mr.. Hanna recently became in
terested, is the Chaplin, at Iron noun
tain. Work was begun there about If
teen months ago, on a large scale.
Since then the company has never pass
ed a pay day. and the employees are
again paid in hard cash, a change most
grateful to them, after a long experience
OF deferred payments and due bills that
were only passed at a heavy discount.
Mr.. Hanna has also directed the remis-
sim OF the grocnd rent at the Chaplin,
which was formerly charged employees
living on tn. company's land, and they
now occupy the land rem free"
Il condense the above from the re-
port of the long and comprehensive in
vestigation made by Mr.. Stevens. There
is no room for a possible doubt of the
truth Of his assertions and it surely
seems that the man who gives his en-
ployes land free to build their homes
upon merits the praise rather than the
condemnation Of the friends of labor.

quire into the charges made against Mr..
Hanna in other fields Of labor, especial

His One Private Business.

bonanzl owners to make free-silver
speeches aud demands that Senator
Thurston, who repeated the allegation,
should make the proof Mr.. Bryan, on
his own behalf, says he will make denial
at the proper time. The public will,
therefore, suspend judgment until Mr..
Bryan explains how his expenses were
paid, and by whom provided he doesn't
put off the explanation until after the
election-Louisville Times
IL is not incumbent upon Mr.. Bryan
TO make an explanation. 1t is his own
private business. Who paid Mr.. w. g
P. breckenridge expenses when he
went about the country speaking at col
lege CONNIE lcements? Who is paying
MIR. Henry Watterson's during his stay
in Europe? Josiah Patterson's ex-
penses? Who pays the expenses OF Sam
Jones, Dwight Moody or b. Fay Mills?
Such inquiries would be quite as pertin-
ent and in az good taste. Mr.. Bryan
came to o wensboro and spoke year ago
upon the invitation OF the editor Of the
Messenger. lie refused to set any price
upon his services, but the silver Demo-
crate OF Owensboro made up purse to
pay for the expense OF his trip and loss
OF time from his business and made him
take it, just as the gold Democrats of
this town did for Mr.. Patterson two days
before. And in this way Mr.. Bryan and
Mr.. Patterson and many other speakers
have been no doubt reimbursed for their
loss OF time and travelling expenses on
speech-making tour.

stanch republican who has supported
the standard bearers Of his party in

In criticising the attitude OF his party
on the money question he dispenses en-.

ing for the labor element OF this nation.
Let that climax Of Bryan's famous speech
at Chicago ring in their ears eternally

not cruelty mankind upon a cross OF

spoon to any one sending her six 2-cent

useful that showed it to my friends,
and made $l3 in two hours, taking orders
for the spoon. The hook spoon is
household necessity. 1t cannot slip into
the dirh or cooking vessel, being held in
the place by hook on the back. The
spoon is something housekeepers have
needed ever since spoons were first in
vented. Amy one can get a sample spoon
by sending six 2-ceht stamps to Miss

money around home. Very truly,
