.HR SHOWS THE DANGER.
MAJOR M'KINLEY PUNCTURES
THE BUBBLE OF UNLIM-
TIED COINAGE.
In Order to Have Prosperity There
Must be Confidence in Individual
and National Integrity-His Ad-
dess to a Large Delegation From
Springfield. Ohio.

Canton, O., Oct. IA delegation
from Springfield, o., arrived on a spe-
cial train of seven coaches this after
noon. After the parade assembled at
The tabernacle where addresses were
made by Judge John c. Miller and Ma
ior Mckinley, Mckinley said in part:
Cyrus II. Mccormick of Chicago, at
the head of n of the great harvest
ing machine companies, the strength
and integrity of which the country is
familiar with, recently wrot as fol-
lows:
I'VE have never before been SO at a
loss to lay III our plans and work for
the next season as at this time. If We
thought the country would go for I'M

what to plan for mex year because of
the financial uncertainty created by the
attitue of one of the great p%olitica!
parties of the country in combination
with two other parties. If free silver
is to be inaugurated in this country it
will change all values, disarrange the
relation of labor to production. of raw
material to the finished product and
unsettle all the conditions of existing
business prosperity. This uncertainty
makes every business man pause:
makes every business enterprise halt;
and while they pause and halt, the
home of every working man is filled
with despair. Capital hesitates to in
vest because it sees danger ahead, and
is unable to count with certainty upon
either the safety of its principal or the
returns of profits; and while capital
waits outside the factory the machin>
cry within is silent, labor is unem-
ployea and poverty presides about the
fresides of the men who toll.
We must have stability in values
and confidence in national and individ-
