ties in combination with two other par
ties applause and cries OF THAT S
rated in this country, it viii change all
values, diSarrange the relations of labor
and unsettle all conditions of existing
business and property. tCries OF That $
every business man pause; capital hesi-
tates to invest, because it sees danger
ahead and is unable TO count with GER
tainty upon either the safety of its prin-
own city, which has heretofore been one
of the busiest cenlers in the manufac-
ture of agricultural implements, employ
ing 5,GG0 laborers, or once did. Great
laughter and appiause) To cut that en-
ployment in two would be
A CALAMITY
to labor, and every interest in your city.
Your business fairly illustrates the close
re-atlon between the manufacturer and
the agricultural producer. When you are
prosperous the farmer is prosperous.
When the farmer is prosperous you have
our most profitable trade. Business of
every character is so interviewer; so de-
pendent upon every other business that
10 hurt one is to hurt the other. In 1892,
people used to think that you could hurt
the manufacturer and help the rest Of
mankind. They labor under no such de-
fusion now. Demand is what makes bus
ihesS activity. The sickle and the fail
would still be in use, but for the press
ing demand of the great
GRAIN FIELDS OF AMERICA.
You make agricultural implements be-
cause the farmer wants them; but when
he does not want them you will not make
them, or wants fewer OF them you Will
lAOs make 50 many, ana when that time
comes and you diminish your output you
don't require SO much LABOR, ana that is
what makes poverty and idieness. We
must have stability in values ana conf
Qence IN national and individual lnteS-
rlty before we viii have real and per
manent prosperity. We must have con-
nuence that our revenue Legislation VIII
supply adequate money for the pubic
treasury and protect American labor and
American interests in every part of the
country. Great cheering ana cries OF
"Hurrah for McKinley.')
Alexander hamilton once said: There
is scarcely any point in the economy of
national affairs of greater moment than
the uniform preservation Of the 1ntrin-
sic value OF the money unit. On this Sc
curity and steady value of properly es-
sentiaIly depend (Applause.)
I'VE must get over the idea, my fell
low citizens, il we ever had it, that con-
gress, by its mere breath, can make
something out OF nothing, that it can de-
cree that SO cents worth Of silver shall
be worth 100 cents. Congress can do
much; 1t can protect the life and prop
erty of citizens, as it should do it can
provide revenue laws which will make
me treasury easy, and protect American
producers from the unrestrained compe-
tition of the old world; it can Go that, and
1t must do that tremendous cheering),
but ii cannot, by it's mere stamp, make a
collar worth a hundred cents out of a.
piece of coin which sells in every mar
ket of the world for SO cents. Great APP
plause.) The great senator from New
York, Roscoe Conkling, once said: I
don't believe that you can legisate up
the value of anything, any more than
believe you can make all generals heroes
by legislation. Great applause.) The con-
tinental congress tried to legislate values
up. but the laws of trade. as independ-
ent as the laws of gravitation kept them
down. (Applause.) Good credit and good
currency are as indispensable to labor as
to capital, and he who teaches any other
doctrine is an enemy Of your country's
prosperity" (Cheering.)
After the speech making there were
songs by the glee club and T. ]. Thomas
presented Major Mckinley with a gold
horseshoe, the receipt of which was ac-
knowledged in a few words by Major Nc
Kinley. Mr.. Thomas presented General
Harrison with a horseshoe of his own
fashioning in 1888, and he thinks this shoe
sure to bring good luck.
