The second body of visitors was made
up OF commercial travellers from New
York. Ohio and Indiana, and to their
tnmultuous greeting Mai. Mckinley re-
sponded by saying:
Nobody knows sooner than the COM
smerciai traveller whether times are good
or bad. No class Of men so registers the
wnves OF business as the men who stand
before me here today. You are Interest,"
ed IN your occupations and in having
prosperity extend from one end Of the
country to the other. You nre Interested
IN having all of our workshops running:
ali our mines in operation, and NIL our
worktngmen constantly and profitable
employed. You are. therefore, this year
possibly more than ever before interested
In the triumph Of the political principles
which envelop the well-being and high.
est prosperity of the American people.
You know better than anybody else
that you cannot sell your goods TO your
customers unless your customers Gan eel
goods to the people. You know flint tle
people cannot buy unless they have some
thing to do at which; they can earn mon ION
ey. that they may buy them. That's
what is the matter with the country to-
day. That's the diagnosis OF our condi-
ton at this hour. Business has been
stopped; the wheels of industry are not
running: idle men are on the streets.
Many OF the manufacturing establish
