Women marched in good line from Icf-
ferson county, Pennsylvania. BY the

leading to the Mckinley house was

First Voters. who came last, kept the
crowds on the sidewalk cheering.
| When Maj Mckinley returned to his
home from his drive to his registering
place this morning, he found Lieut..
Gov. Halle, of Massachusetts, amcng
his callers. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster and
daughter, Of Iowa, came shortly after
the Mckinley home.
No. SO, William Mckinley, aged fifty
three No. 723 North Market street,
born in Ohio. moved to present house
January, 1896, but has voted in this
precinct for five years.
| This was the entry Clerks McRoberts
and Plunkard made on the registration
record of Precinct B, First ward, early
this morning. Maj. Mckinley drove to
the polls in the one-horse family car
riage with Mrs. Mckinley and friends
at an early hour. He took the first op-
portunity to get away from his house
before today's delegations began to ar
rive. His step was elastic and his face
| glowed with good health. as he hastily
stepped into the precinct headquarters,
pleasantly awaited his turn to register
after several workmen and clerks. He
wrote his name, William Mckinley, in
| full, as required ON the registration
books, instead of abbreviating William
as usual.
In responding to the various de1ega-
lions that were callers at Canton to-
day. Mr.. Mckinley said in part:
If the financial plan advocated by our al
| lied opponents be practical and sound, then
the trainers Of our constitution idled away
| much time and wasted very much effort in
| providing plan for raising money to conduct
| the government If the this new departure
so-called, be in any practical, then
we don't need any tariff laws in this coun-
| try, any tax laws, any customs houses or
any tax collectors anywhere. because if you
can make money out OF nothing by the mere
breath of congress- then it is idle to impose
taxes upon the people to bear the burden and
! expense of conducting the government. If
| by mere fat, whether 1t be fiat to the ex-
| tent of so cents to the extent of hundred
| cents; If the government, by a mere act Of
congress, can make money, then all the work
| Of Washington and Jefferson, Hamilton and
Clay, and all of the fnanciers and statesmen
of this country was mere idleness and folly.
! But their work not idle or foolish. The
! government of the United States cannot create
something out of nothing. and the man or
| party that teaches that doctrine teaches a
| false doctrine. Why? That which costs
man nothing is not worth much, Is it? If
| this government can create money without
any cost to itself. then that money money i, is value
! less for every purpose 1t Is value In money
! that makes it a stable medium Of exchange
| among the people.
| The point make is this my fellow citizens,
| that we must get over the idea in this coun-
! try that the government makes money. The
government gets its money just as the citi-
zen gets his money. by giving something o tn for
| year by taxing it's people,, and the products
| Of other people coming into the United states.
| and the latter Is the policy Of the Republican
party We do not believe that the govern
ment should make money by setting Its print
| ing presses and it's minis to work. but that
| the best thing it can do for its revenues Is
| to put a tariff on foreign products OF every
| kind that compete with American products.
| and make that tariff high enough to protect
| the American producer: we simply want 70

when there comes up from the pla,nest home,

patriotism, such as can be found scarcely
anywhere else tn the world. Not only, my
fellow citizens, dove want good tarin, Dut

do not want 1t to be worth one penny less

respected, everywhere.

under law. We propose to sustain public or

federal judiciary-that tribunal which is our
anchor Of safety in every time OF trouble.
There was never an aim that the Republican
party had that did not embrace the good OF
purpose that did not seek the nonor ana IN

States This one Ting o our es oe pf for bnan

years of the past for public safety, public
honor good morals, good government, good
laws and for country whose currency hra ana
the world.
We are a nation Of working people; we
recognize no caste and will not tolerate none
beneath our flag. We are nation OF po-
lticaI EQUALS The voice of one citizen is as
potent as the voice OF another. and their unit
ed voice when constitutionally expressed, is
the law of the land.
We have subdued and changed the voice of
the wilderness. We have transformed our
great plains and prairies from their primeval
verdure into fields of beautous grain. This
has not been the accomplishment of a CEN
fury; 1t has really been the work OF third
of a century, for not more than forty years
have elapsed since we entered upon our most
remarkable development The only limit there
is to American progress Is the limit which
Americans themselves will place upon them
selves by the ballot.
The issues OF THIS campaign cannot be
they? First, shall we sustain law and order
and uphold the tribunals of Justice which
in all the trying times of the past have been
our greatest safety and our pride? Shall we
continue a financial policy which is safe
and sound and gives us a money with which
to do business that is stable In value and
which commands respect, not only at home
but in every commercial nation Of the world?
Shall we restore the industrial policy by
which this nation has become mightier than
all the other great commercial. manufactur-
ing, mining and farming nations of the
world? On these questions there should be
