BY HIS HEARERS.
Canton. Ohio. Oct. ia delegation Of about 30
voters from the I.ehigh Valley district OF Pennsy'
vania arrived here at o'clock this morning to pay
their respects to Major Mckinley. The deiesatio"
came from Shamokn and number OF other towns
between that place and Wilkesbarre Hazleton ana
Freeland particularly well represented. Owing
to the continued inclement weather. the party was
escorted by the Canton Citizens Reception Com
mittee to the Tabernacle. Congressman Charles
N. Brumm. Of Pottsville Penn. acted as spokesman
for the visitors. In his remarks to the cahoidate
he predicted that Pennsylvania would SEND sono
Republican delegation the next Congress- pes'des
giving Mckinley a majority OF three-quarters OF
million votes
THE NEED OF PROPER TARIFF.
Major Mckinley, In responding said:
You have greatly honored me In havins
journeyed 80 long a distance to bring assurances
of your goodwill do not take this can as IN
any sense personal to myself, but rather as
tribute to the cause for which for the moment
! stand, and to the great principles wnlcn the
Republican party upholds in the pending Presi-

plause.) 1t was scarcely necessary to advise me
that the people Of the anthracite regions are In
known and appreciated that fact and sympa-
thize with you In that sentiment. l believe In
that great American doctrine. which lies at the
foundation Of the law of self-preservation.
| believe it is the duty of this Government to
encourage its own people and to pass such ls~s
will give to them the largest opportunity 20
improve their condition. the highest scale OF
wages and the greatest encouragement to their
skill and their labor. Great applause) We
have in this country more free trade than In
any. other country or the world. but 1t Is free
QnnlauSpl
forty five States and 1O.0O0,OOO OF people We
constantly vying with each other in every Sec
ton of our common country for promotion OF the
highest interests Of our respective populations
We believe In free trade in the United states
in the same that we believe in the equal
and reciprocal obligations which belong to every
tiOna family. We trade with each other with
absolute freedom and without restraint. and
engage in free and unresentful rivalry In all the
occupations. employments and industries OK our
people The triu nph Of one section Is the -
umph Of the other. all working together for -
general good When we have free trade with
other countries it should be in those products
which we cannot produce ourselves and which
we must have. and in exchange for which those
countries will take the products that we make
and grow. and we should put duty upon those
foreign products that compete with American
products sufficiently not only to supply enough
revenue for the uses Of the Government, but
sufficient to protect American people In their
own occupations against the products OF the
cheaper and underpaid labor of the world.
Great cheerng)
That seems 10 me to be the dictate Of an en-
lightened patriotism. and 1t is certainly one OF
the great fundamental doctrines OF the Repub-
lican party. and why should 1t not be so, my
one flag; we have a common destiny. The other
nations of the world have their separate ana
independent political organizations for the pur-
pose Of working out for themselves the highest
destiny possible. They owe no allegiance TO this
Government: they contribute nothing to its sup.
port, either in war or In peace; and IL they are
"a
people say that you can do Ii upon condi.
tion that tariff shall be put upon your prod
ucts. and that tariff will go toward sustaining
this Government and at the same time Will be
a defence to our own laborers and producers.
tremendous appause) That is the whole doc.
trine of the tariff If needed II we
need 1t now We need IT for the Federal Treas
ury, for that is in "a condition of deficiency. We
need II for the people of this country. for they.
like the Treasury, are generally in condition
OF deficiency. (Applause.j
TIE WISE AND PATRIOTIC POLICY
Now whatever will put money into the public
Treasury and stop debts and deficiencies and
bond :, | take it everybody would say would be
a wise and patriotic thing. no matter what po-
litical party they have belonged to in the past.
/ take II that whatever policy will encourage
our own people to dig ccal. to manufacture prod
ucts, to employ labor is the policy that ought
to commenda Itself to every patriotic citi-
Zen. And if b tariff will do these things. the
tariff surely is what. by our votes three weeks
from to-day. we ought to sustain. (Applause.)
Pennsylvania has always been Protection
State. James Buchanan. a Democrat. when he
President of the United States. gave some
very good advice which is applicable to the
pres9nt situation. He said: mo statesman
would advise that should go on increasing
the National debt to meet the expenses OF the
Government. This would be a ruinous policy.
In case OF war our credit must be our chief re.
source. at least for the first year, and this would
be greatly impaired by having contracted large
debt in time Of peace. 1t is our true policy 70
increase our revenue so as TO equal our ex-
nd flrnc hn min IN IN fnvaa n
borrow That Is the position OF the Repub.
lican party to-day.
Mr.. Randall. Democrat OF great distinction.
a man Of wonderful power, who was always for
Pennsylvania and the people OF Pennsylvania
and for the Morkingmen Of Pennsylvania, de-
clared in 1887. in the last speech that he made
ton to the Mills BILL If tine farmer ceases to
buy the product of the manufacturers, he will
certainly cease to sell them, but must sell his
products In the market where he buys what he
consumes himself. Suppose last year We had
manufactured a thousand millions worth less
than did. and had gone abroad for these
products. expecting to pay for them with agri-
cultural products cou.d a thousand millions
more OF agricultural products have been sold
abroad at the price which products brought
here? We sold ALI the wheat and and
meat products that Europe could take at the
price that prevailed. Who can tell at what
price Europe would have taken five hundred
millions or hundred millions more OF
our agricultural products than she did takef
The mere statement Of the proposition Is enough
to disclose the error on which 1t is founded. and
shows the Importance of uniting manufactures
with agricultural pursuits. Jefferson states
il: Putting the manufacturer by the side OF the
farmer In fact both must In our country de.
pend almost exclusively the home market.
Ii is folly. If not crime to attempt to change
ii In those respects 1t would bring ruin and
bankruptcy without the possibility OF having
such a result proposed. The greater the d.
versty Of Industries in any country. the greater
the wealth-producing power Of the people, and
the more there Is for labor and capital to di.
