This assemblage thoroughly typifies
! the national idea of q great American
commonwealth, in this, that it repre-
sents the equality of all which lies at the
basis of popular government
After speaking in earnest terms of
labor today and all 1t typifed, Major Nc
! kinley continued:
either continue the present Industrial
and financial policies Of the government
| or abandon them. The Republican party
stands today as it mas always stood,
| opposed TO the continuation of an in
dustrial policy which cripples industries
| at home. robs labor of its just rewards
and supplies insufficient revenues to run
the government (Cries of Good,
good'). 1t stands opposed to any
| change in our financial policy which
| would put US upon silver basis and de-
prive US of the use Of both gold and
silver as currency. (Cries of That's

that fundamental question of whether we
are to have government by law. The

deeply and personally interest the work

They do not want to lose any part
Of their hard earnings through poor
dollars (applause), and they don't want
to be paid in dollars whose value can
only be ascertained by the daily market
reports. Great cheering). Whatever
work they have now is paid in good
money and therefore, no complaint is
made on that score. They are satisfied
with the money but they are not salts
fed either with the scant work or the re-
duced wages. (Cries OF that's right

major.'D Nothing, my fellow citizens, will
accomplish that but Work-Work at fair
wages, and that will only come through
confidence restored by a wise financial
and Industrial policy. (Cheers and cries of
"Hurrah for McKinley.o

wealth without work, for work is at the
foundation of all wealth. Great APP

IF WE HAVE OUR LABOR
we can get pay for it. if somebody wants
it who can pay for it, and he never wants
il unless it is necessary to have it for his
or comfort or to produce
from which he can make profit
out of his money. Great applause) If
we want to borrow money our ability to
get it is measured by the confidence the
possessor has in our ability and dispo-
sition to repay it. That is true Of what
ever kind of money we have and there is
another thing we ought to remember, and
that is, free silver at a ratio of Is to 1, or
any other ratio, will not repeal the great
law of supply and demand. (Cheers) 1t
is a grave error to suppose that you can

Of money; that you can increase the value

Garfield uttered a great truth when
speaking for the resumption of specie
payment, he said In the name of every
man who wants his own when he has
earned it, demand that we do not make
the wages of the poor man to shrivel in
his hands after he has earned them (Ap-
plause.) What Garfield so eloquently
spoke for was executed by the redemption
law of 1879.
THE DOLLAR OF PROMISE
became the coin of fulf1llment, and every
dollar we have in circulation today is as
good as every other dollar in every mart
and market Of the world tremendous
That is the way 1t is now and
that is the way it shall be If the peo-
pie decree the Republicans in control of
every branch of our federal government.

ton Of that dollar is as indispensable to
our national honor and our public faith as
who toll in the fields" (Applause)
