around the banner of liberty, union and national honor, between 1860 and 1885 (applause), and now summons you under the same glorious banner. (Renewed applause.)
 Appropriate Quotation from Lincoln. 'I cannot omit here to make a quota. ton from Mir. Lincoln, written to the young men of Illinois on June P, 1S4S. Mir. Lincoln said: Now as to the young men. You must not wait to be brought forward by the older men. You young men get together, form trough and ready club" and have regular meetings and speeches. Take in everybody you can get. As you go along gather up all the shrewd, wild boys about town, whether just of age or a little under age. Let everyone play the part he can play best. Some speak, some sing and all holler. Great laughter.) Your
 meetings will be of evenings. The old- CT men and women will go to hear you
 to the election of Old Zach, but it will be interesting pastime and improving to the intellectual faculties of all en- gagged. Do not fail to do this.' Great
 applause.)
 ''I commend these homely words of
 Mir. Lincoln to the young men of the country. Such organizations as he ad- II political contest which is now upon us.
 They will not only inspire the young men, but will cheer the hearts of the old guards of the Republican party. (Applause.) It is seldom given to the
 first voters of this country to start in SO
 important national contest, where so
 much is involved, and where so many in-
 terests are at stake. It is a year, too,
 when old party divisions count for lit
 wnpn nf al ya rti
 in the common object to save the coun-
 try from dishonor and its currency
 from degradation.
 Tt is always safe, young gentlemen,
 to arrange yourself on the side of your
 country. (Applause.) It is always wise
 to stand against lawlessness and repudi-
 ation. Renewed applause and cries of
 to stand against those who are opposed
 to law and order, and who would raise
 artificial barriers between classes or sec
 tons in the United States. (Great ap-
 plauseD l congratulate you upon the
 glorious opportunities you have, and, ap-
 preciating those opportunities, I am sure
 you will use them for the welfare of the
 people and the glory of the country.
 (Cheers)
 Further Reference to Mints and Mills.
 My fellow citizens, ventured a few
 weeks ago to suggest in public speech that l made that it would be better to open the mills than to open the hints.
 Great cheering and cries of That's right 1 see that some of our political adyersaries criticise the statement, say ing that it is putting the cart before the horse. They seem to think that the way fo open the wooden mills, for example, is to start a yardstick factory. Great laughter and applause.l They forget that you must make cloth before you can measure it (renewed laughter) and that the weaver must be employed before the yardstick is required. Applause.) But they say the yardstick is too long. l answer if you make q yardstick nine teen inches long instead of thirty-six inches. its present length, you will not increase the output of cloth or its value or give an additional days labor to an American weaver fGreat applause) Nor will 52-cent dollar increase our in- dustrial enterprises. add to the actual earnings of anybody, or enhance the real value of anything. Great applause and cries of That's right.') It will wrong labor and wreck values, and has done so wherever if has been used (Great ap- plause and cries of That's right.') More cloth might require more yardsticks Qaughter), but more yardsticks or short- CT ones will not create a demand for more cloth. Renewed laughter and cries of Good, gOod.'o Nor will short dol lars with wide open hints free to all the world increase our factories. (Ap- plause and cries of "You are rightly More factories at work will find work for the good dollars now in their hiding places and find employment for the good men now idle at their homes. Uremen- dous cheering)
 Industry must come first. Labor precedes all else. It is the foundation of wealth: it is the creator of all wealth. Applause) Its active employ ment puts money in circulation and sends Great applause and cries of .'Thars right") The hints don't distribute it don't"O Start the factories in full blast and the money will flow from bank and vault. The lender will seek the borrower, not, as now. the borrower the lender: Great cheering and cries of That's right"0
 Start the factories and put American machinery in operation, and there will not be an idle man in the country who is willing and able to work; there will not be an American home where hunger and want will not disappear. at once: right!O: and there will not be farmer who will not be cheered and benefited by his improved home markets and by the better and steadier prices for his prod ucts. (Renewed applause and cries of That's right!o Credits will take the place of debts. The wasted earnings of the poor will be restored. A surplus will take the place of deficiency in the public treasury (cries of That's right!O: plenty and prosperity will return to us gain: and do not forget, men and wom- en of Wood county. that you cannot coin (great cheering). and you can not revive industries through the hints. Great applause and cries of That's right.O They come through labor and confidence. skill and enterprise. and hon. psty, and they will come no other way" Great applause) "
