AT 40 a sprightly delegation of Hun
gar.aIl-A mencans from Cleveland called
Their spokesman, J {. Bloch: made long
address 10 Major Mckinley.
The weather became cold t%iS Afternoon
and q strong wind was blowing. THIS
made no difference 10 the callers ana IN
no wise checked The generous flow of their
enthusiasm.
To the several hundred Carnegie EN-
ployes who called upon him, Mr.. Mckinley
SAID:
POWER OF THE BALLOT.
Mr. Brown and My Fellow Citizens: Moth
ing moves me more deeply than 10 have the
assurances or support winch / am haii!
receiving from the men who toit IN rue
limited States. To Tflve as alneS IN t1ls
great contest for the honor and prosperity
oil the country the workincinen al tht I litcu
States is indeed IL crown to any cause.
You have but one aim III the use oil your
ballots ard that iSto secure the hiHhcSi anu
greatest good to tie people or thc CDiteI
States. That is what the ballot is for, and
it is for the accomplishment OF that that
YOU will use the ballot this year 200 -.
We have had in this country an experience
undcrtwo contendingna tionalpolcies. Most
of the men who sit before me TO-DAY never
had any experience under Int The one poilcy
until within the last four ye;1rs. You have
now tried them both. You have tired the
protective policy of the Republican party
and you have tried the free trade revenue
tariff policy Of the DeInOcratie party. Wmcm
do YOU like best: tCrieS OF "Protecton'
and footing of horns.) .
Ir it is protection You prefer there Is Just
one way to get it and that is to vote ior
it, Under the Republican protective pol icy
we enjoyed for more thirty years the most
marvellous prosperity that had ever been
only had individual prosperity, but we had
national prosperity, and DUNG al lhoSe
thirty years, while we were building up
great industries to furnish employment 10
American labor at American wages-ail
the time we were doing that, we were col
lectiDg under that tariff policy ample
revenue for current expenses ana sur
plus reven lie TO pay off the public debt.
ENTITLED TO HONEST PAY.
From $40 down to 1898 this government
had been a debt-pa ying and not debt
making government. But need not dis
cuss TO a Pennsylvania audience this great
American principle. You are fam liar
with 1t. 1t is written in your hearts; it
has been eXemplified in your happy homes;
it has brought cheer and contentment to
your families-and you know it. And,
knowing it, Won will vote this year with
full knowledge.
Then, my countrymen. we have presented
to US very dangerous peril TO the country :
"a proposition to enter upon the Tree and
independent and unlimited coinage OF Sill
yer, and the issuance OF irredcemable paper
money. That proposition simply means
that as our labor has been degraded by
free trade, so the wages OF our cOurtrymen
shall be degraded by free silver and in
flated currency, and as we are against :
free trade we will be against free silver.
Now ,justoDe W ord more. .Wbatwewant !
in this country is that every man VINO wants
to work shall have an opportunity towork.
And then when he has performed an honest
days work for his employer we mean that
he shall be paid in honest dollars
