By Taxation.
But MUST GET 1T BY TARIFFS
No Allusion Made Either to Standard OF
Ratio, or to tho Decrease In Circu-
la,ion--Al IL Tarir.

thusiastic delegation reached this city to
call upon Major Mckinley. The party
came from Goodland. Ind They were IN
troduced TO Major Mckinley by A. Z. Jen
kins. Major Mckinley said
My Fellow Citizens OF Coodland. Ind.
1t gives mo very great pleasure 10 meet
you here at my home this morning. 1t Is
always a distinction TO have u political
organization adopt ones name 1T is cspe-
ciaily gratifying TO me to Ice assured that
If you are not the fast club in the Unitcd
States to give me that honor. you are
certainly the first in the State of indiana,
and thank you for it, We are engaged
this year in great national contest, ghe
result of which will determine for years
10 come the public pollcvs which shall
| govern this country.
GoNttnmcnt Is always an Interesting
study There is a deal Of Misunderstood
ing as 10 how the government gels us
are some people who seem to believe tha<
| the way the government gets its money
| is to make 1t. The government gets lt9
| money by taxation and can get II no other
way. There are three or four sources from
which the government of the United
| States gets money. The chief sources OF
| revenue are the tariffs and internal taxa
| tiun. Then tho government gets some
| money from the sale of its public lanus
| and from its postal service and from these
| several sources lnele comes inc money
| that is annually required TO meet and dis
| charge the expenses
| Ii takes $780, 10000 a year to coluuct
| this government. \ million and u third
| dollars for every day are required to keep
| ITS wheels in position Now IL the gov
| eminent had tlte power TO make moHcy
as some people seem TO believe, or had
| the power to double the value of thirH
| ny it's stamp. it would not need to resort
| to taXatson--it would simply set its mnts
| TO work and make the necessary amount
| n In nav ri ny nan |
| could have lah Oft the National debt
years ago In this way. There rs another
| thing i would have You know~-that the
| government can not gct gold or silver en-
| cept through the custom houses or inter
| nal revenue offices without giving some
thing for IT, just as you and | nave to
| give something for II If We want gold or
| silver. Now, how docs the government
! distribute this money! somebody asks
| utes its annual receipts under approprin-
| tons of congress to .s creditors That Is
| the way the money OF the government is
| distributed. 1T IS distributed to the army
| rivers and harbors. for the great postal
service Of the country, for the expenses OF
| congress. for sustaining the judiciary. to
| pay the principal and Interest Of the pub
| lic debt and to pay thb porB ons of sol
dlers and TO other creditors OF the govern
| mcnt. and there is no other way for the
government to distribute any money eN-
| cept to pay IT to the people who Il owes
money There is no such thing as gen
