Following is McKinlcy's response to
o. p. Montgomery. who spoke on be-
half OF the delegation from Seymour,
Washington and Mount Vernon, Ind:
My Fellow Citizens: The call which
you have seon lit TO make upon me this
morning from our neighborlng state OF
Indiana gives me sincere pleasure and
/
the railroad employees OF the Baltimore
& Ohio Southwestern are deeply inter-
estcd in the pending campaign. And
why are they Interested? Because upon
the settlement Of the questions that
now divide us and on which one week
from Tomorrow you will express your
several Judgments Is involved public
safety. public honor. public confidence
and the stability OF the credit and cur
rcncy' OF the government OF tho United
States.
WE DO NOT WANT IN THIS
COUNTRY ANTAGONIST BETWEEN
CAPITAL AND LABOR; they ought TO
be close together all the time. THE
ONE CANNOT GET on WITHOUT
THE OTHER, and Instead OF their be-
Ing enemies, they ought always 10 be
friends. Instead OF dIscouraginE SYM
pnthy between them which VIC all ought
always TO advance, there are those who
would create antlpathy between them:
for example, between railroad managers
and those who are employed by the rail-
roads. Now. ] do not believe In any
such doctrine myself. I BELIEVE IN
THE COMMON BROTHERHOOD OF
MAN. I believe that labor gets on best
when capital gets on best. and that capI-
tai gets or best when labor is pnid the
most. Instead OF there being natural
Gntagon!sm there is natural alliance
between them. and THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE FOREVER SEEKING TO
CREATE ANTAGONIST BETWEEN
THOSE WHO EMPLOY LABOR AND
THOSE WHO ARE EMPLOYED ARE
THE PEOPLE WHO NEVER GIVE
ANY EMPLOYMENT TO LABOR AT
ALL. Am l not right? Great shouts OF
You are, You Hrc."D Now. whn, We
want In this country-and l an now ad-
dressing the sound money club OF the
Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern alone
is first, confidence. confidence. in each
other. confidence In the credit OF the
country. confidence In the future. con-
lidencc in our money. confidence that
II we invest our money to-day wc viii
get something out OF 1t at tic end OF
the yenr. II we have not confidence OF
that Kind. no one will feel like invest
Ing money, and II money Is not invested
there Is no employment for labor.
