They must appreciate, if they have given
the subject any study, that the reduction of
the dollar to 81 cents or less would diminish
the value OF the money received from duties
on imports and internal taxes in the same
ratio that they reduce the dollar In such an
event, more revenue will be required. How
will they raise it? Surely no revenue can

Immediately the whole delegation joined

prettiest incidents OF the campaign, and it
was entirely spontaneous.
Major Mckinley made his fourth speech
to forty bishops of the African M. E.

Indianapolis travellers J. L. Griffiths. In
