Speech That WAS AppIauded by the
Six FoOters' Club.

The twelfth crowd of the day addressed
by Major Mckinley came from Wheeling,
w. Va. and was large and demonstrative
delegation, or rather four delegations, rep
resenting the Six Footers' Club in gor-
geous uniform and tall bearskin shakos.
The Tariff Champions organized when Maj.
Mckinley first visited West Virginia,
the workingmen of the Riverside Iron
Companys plant, and the employees of the
various potteries. Three special trains
were required for their transportation.
Major McKinley's speech follows:

to feel that the mission you are here upon
is to make Republican principles triumph
ant the Sd day of November. There

ter his condition. The humblest, those born
with least fortune, those with most un-
favorable surroundings-all of them aspire
to better things and all have a right to
aspire. The genius of our free institutions
eAalts ambition, and most men want to lift
condition of their families.
THE thought in every mans mind here
to-day is: How can l better my condition?
How / improve the condition of my
family? The answer comes almost with
one voice, the way to do it is to protect
American industry and defend American
labor Let do manufacturing
here in the United States. Let us make our
own iron and steel, our. own pottery. our
own glass-and when we do that then We
will employ every idle man in the United
States and bring hope and happiness to
every American home. / believe in that
policy of prot to home Industries and

do not believe anything is cheap to

want is work and wages. Do you believe
free trade will aid YOU? Do you believe
protective tariffs will do it? eyes, yes
every time!) Then vote that way. Protec-
tion never closed an American factory;
protection never shut an American mine;
protection never put American labor out
for partial free trade such as we have
perenced in the last three and
half years. More than that, my fell
ow-citiZens not only want an
opportunity to work, but when we get
that opportunity want to be paid in

CREDIT TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

The ManitOwoc city council covered
itself with glory on Saturday night last.
1t did its duty and did it well, The
praise 1t has earnad is because the rule
for years has been too great a degree of
| conservatism. Tie council always meant
well but never having had TO deal with
large measures, it proceeded with extreme
caution. Last Saturday it acted prompt
| II, unanimously and decisively with the
progressive element and thereby adj
vanced the interests OF the city fully five
years.
It ordered that dredging be done this
| year to the amount of $4,000. This IN
| cludes the dredging now in progress. 1t
| provides for a deep channel from Main
street bridge up to where the new coal
| docks of the Wisconsin Central are to be
| located. that is, above the railroad lift
| bridge. 1t means the removal of 215,Oo0
| cubic yards, scow measure. from the river
and furnishing deeper water than there
| is in any other harbor on the lake with
| the exception Of that of South Chicago.
The point at the bend of the river will be
dredged ont making basin Cf 40 feet
in which large craft may turn. 1t Is the
grandest move ever made by any city
council Manitowoc has ever had and Is
more for future prosperity beyond what
appears on the surface.
The officers of the Wisconsin Central
ara now negotiating with parties for the
erection OF an elevator here. The only
competitor is South Chicago. Without
this dredging ManitowOc would have no
possible show. With it, It's chances are
equal to those of that center of vast com
MERGE and manufacture, possibly better
Should Manitowoc fail TO secure this
elevator, there will be no abandonment
of the purpose to secure one; but lndl-
cations at present are that the elevator
will be built here and that soon. This will
mean direct shipments of grain to Buffalo,
a lowering of freight rates and enabling
the city to compete with Milwaukee and
Chicago in commercial matters The
benefits TO the farming community will
be great as 1t will make this city one of
the great markets Of the state for farm
produce.
The Chicago Il Northwestern has ac-
copied the ordinances granting it privi-
leges within the city limits whereby it
may utilize the lake front 1t is probable
that work on the slip will be begun IN n
short time and it may be in readiness for
in shape for business next year. 1t is
now thought that the f. Il p. NJ. ferry
boat will not be ready for business as
soon as was expected.
