The farmers of this country must

that we canno. cut down the competi-
ton which they have in India and
! Russia and the Argentine Republic or
increase consumption at home of their
products by cutting down the value of
the currency of the United States. The
only way the farmers can be benefited
IS through a larger consuming class

MOST PROFITABLE MARKET

abroad, and what he wants to know IS
how TO make that market the best He

(cAeeTs); he cannot do it by putting
out the fires of our furnaces (renewed
cheering; he cannot do it by taking
business away from the great railroad
lines OF the country; he can only inn
prove the American market by favor

work at living wages (renewed ap-
plauSe); not the Wage-Scale of some
other nation of the world, but the
American scale-the best in the world

credit of the country, for the credit of
the country lies at the foundation of
capital and prosperity. applause and
cries of "Right.'O The farmer can no

Good, good.') The railroads of the
country make business, so they con-
sumo o00OO,OOO tons Of coal a year. That
is what you engineers burn every
twelve months. What does that do?
(Cries OF 1T gives work'') Yes; it
gives you employment while you are
burning 1t; 1t gives the thousands of
miners employment while they are
digging it. That is the kind of
A POLICY WE ADVOCATE.
Let everybody help everybody else.
Great applause and cries of "Hurrah
for McKinley.") 1 see that the rail-
road train service has four distinct
services-probably more-that OF the
engineers firemen, the trainmen and
the Order of Railway Conductors, with
other organizations auxiliary thereto
among the switchmen and telegra-
phers. l am informed that each of
these organizations has department |
OF insurance, mutual in it's character
and conducted and administered by
men OF their respective organizations |
Am | right about this? Cries of |

business capacity and honesty is found |
in the fact that not a dollar has been !
lost or squandered. The trainmen have |
paid out nearly $3,500,O00 the firamen |
nave paid out nearly $4,000. 900; the con-
ductors have paid out insurance |
amounting to nearly s2,50O6OO, while.
the engineers, which | believe is the |
Oldest organization, have paid out
nearly Sc, 900. The railroad men, too,
are investors, and stockholders in Loan I
associations and have sayings in saw
ings banks. Great laughter and ap- |
plause) What a deep interest, there (
fore, the railroad men have in the /
rightful settlement of
THE MONEY QUESTION.
Not only are they interested in pre-
serving the integrity of their savings
Tor their old age, or Disqualification,
and their insurance to their families
in case of accident or death, but they /
are Interested in their present and flu
ture wage-I don't believe that the rail-
road men of this country will ever con-
sent to having their wages cut in two
or their insurance money paid at the
rate OF 81 cents on the dollar. (Cries OF
No.9 Nor will they be satisfied to
receive their wages in anything but the
which shall be worth a full
100 cents. While they are talking about
the creditors of this country they are
animadyerting against them. Who are
the creditors of this country? They
are the men who labor in this country
tremendous cheering and cries of
That's right.) The greatest creditors
Of this country today are the working
men, Aside from what is due them
upon investments and savings, their
current wages make them the largest
creditor class in the United States
The employers of this country pay
their employees every thirty days in
good times-(cries of Not now,
though" followed by great laughter)
more than the bonded Indebtedness
Of the United States. Nearly five
hundred millions of dollars are paid
out annually to railroad employees
alone. Does the railroad employee pro-
pose to aid any party to enact legisla-
ton which
WILL CUT HIS PAY ROLL
from % to 30 per cent in the name Of

have seen it stated somewhere that
Il the 10000 railroad employees in the
United States, about 70 per cent of

when / express the belief that these
men will not cast their votes in favor
If a debased currency and the repudi-

coinage of silver products of the
United States, or the free coinage of

states could make a thing worth only
3 cents, worth 100 cents. Great APP
