Mckinley on .Protection and Prosperity"
Major Mckinley has written an intro
duction to the great book on tariff,
Protection and Prosperity" The fol-
lowing is an extract:
Thirty years of protection has
brought us to the first rank in agricul-
ture, in mining and in manufacturing
development. We lead all nations in
these three great departments of indus
try. We have outstripped even the
United Kingdom, which had centuries
the start of us. AS 1 have said above
her fiscal policy for fifty years past has
been the free trade revenue tariff pol
icy, ours for thirty.two years the pro.
tective tariff policy. Tried by any test,
measured by any standard, we lead all
the rest of the world Protection has
vindicated itself. 1t cannot be helped
by eulogy nor hurt bv defamation. 1t
has worked out it's own demonstration,
and presents in the sight of the whole
world its matchless trophies 1t can
not be cried down by false names nor
injured by offensive epithets nor can il
any longer suffer from falsehood, nor
the forebodings of the false prophet.
1t has triumphed over all Its traducers
at home and abroad. 1t has made the
lives of the masses of our country
men sweeter and brighter, and has
entered the homes of America car
rying comfort and cheer and courage.
1t gives premium to human energy.
and awakens the noblest aspirations in
the breasts of men. Our own exper-
ience shows that it is best for our citi-
zenship and our civilization, and that
it opens up higher and better destiny
for our people.

Free coinage would not start a factory
OF make demand for an additional days
tions. 1t would add nothing to the COM
fort of the masses, the capital of the peo-
pie or the wealth Of the nation. 1t seeks
to introduce new measure of value, but
would add NO value to the thing measured.
II would not conserve values. On the con-
trary, 1t would derange all existing
values. 1t would not restore business con-
fidence,. but its direct effect would be to
destroy the little which yet remains

We wish toncall the attention of our
many patrons to the fact that Tomp-
kin's magnificent production of the
BLACK Crook is soon to be seen here.
and it is with pleasure that we pre-
sent this superb attraction that has
created such furore wherever it has
been presented. New York, Phila-
delphia, Chicago and Boston packed
its theatres to the doors. 1t is almost
useless to mention the magnificent
scenery and the dazzling costumes, as
words fail to express their superlatiye
worth. 1t will be produced here with
the same care that characterized it's
production in other cities. The entire
stage will be cleared to make room for
all of the company's special parapher-
MALTA. scenery and other effects. The
sale of seats will commence Saturday
morning at the Marietta Book Store.

The Ideal Panacea,

James L. Francis, Alderman, Chica-
go, says: 81 regard DIR. Kings New
Discovery as an Ideal Panacca for
Coughs, Colds and Lung Complaints,
having used it in my family for the
last five years, to the exclusion of ply
sician's prescriptions or other prepara-
tions."
Rev. John Burgus, Keokuk, Iowa,
writes: 81 have been a Minister of the
Methodist Episcopal Church for so years
or more, and have never found any-
thing so beneficial, or that gave me
such speedy relief as DIR. Kings New
Discovery" Try this Ideal Cough

Cheap Money Very Dear.

In his speech to the delegation OF col
ored citizens from Cleveland, Major Nc
-Kinley uttered another of those pithy,
pointed and briefly put truths for which
he is fast becoming famous when he
said
I'VE have a great country, and we
must keep 30. We want neither cheap
money nor cheap labor. Nothing can
be cheap that Injuries our laboring peo-
ple."

cookrsn-cowen Meeting.

Ex-senator ]. N. Camden will pre-
side at the meeting at Parkersburg to-
day at which the Hon. Bourke Cochran
and Hon. John X. Cowen will speak.
The citing will be one of the most
nota BILE of the campaign.
1t is distinctly under the auspices of
Sound Money Democrats, and local
Sound Money Democrats are aIraging
the details of the meeting.
The speeches of these two orators
will be strong, earnest and eloquent
pleas for an honest dollar and a warn
ing against the revolutionary declara'
ton of Bryan's platform.
Loyal Democrats who value their
.country's good above. party lines are
behind the meeting from purely patri-
otic motives. eN&
Words are needless to express the
significance Of the great meeting. 1t
is the duty of every loyal Republican
and every loyal Democrat to indorse
the stand taken by our Sound Money
brothers, by his presence at the meet
ing.

OUR genial friend, Hon. j. D. Payne,
was one of the conspicuous figures on
the platform down at the Bryan meet
ing Thursday. Payne had his hand up
to his ear, but not the slightest whis-
per of Watson's name did he hear
Bryan utter.
The name of either of Bryan's run
ming mates was conspicuously and
studiously absent from his speech. He
must think he's the only man on the
ticket, or If not, why does he not extol
the merits of Watson, his logical mate,
or Sewall, his real mis-mate?

WELL, the great Bryan hippodrome
at Parkersburg is now matter of his
tory. The man has come and gone,
and the people saw and heard to fairly
good advantage. He is of the true
speaker type, and he has the ways and
the Establishments of the slick orator,
who, whether he has something to say
or not, so delivers himself that he
makes portion of the people think
that they have heard something won
derful.
The meeting was certainly very
great one-there being on the ground
perhaps twelve thousand people, many
of whom let off their enthusiasm at
hair trigger
The only feature of the man that has
seemed to suffer from the severe cam
paigning is his voice. 1t shows too
much long-range and longtime use.
He was very hoarse and spoke with
apparent difficulty.
For about thirty minutes the Boy
Orator of the Platte uttered his plati-
tudes which lacked any crispness or
newness whatsoever. His principal
talk consisted of lot of Introductory
idle jollies at which some members of
the crowd went mad with delight-just
what Bryan likes He seemed to want
to get close to the people" whom he
would have believe he is their liberator
and special messenger from the gods of
fortune and good luck. He spoke on
the money question, only, never once
referring to any other issue that is
reasonably to be fought for. He never
once said what his attitude is toward
the Supreme Court of the United States,
or how he stood on the question of Gov
ernment interference in difficulties of
State and municipality.
With the bringing about of the Bryan
idea the orator of the day failed to say
how the dear people would come into
possession of the dollars of silver, or
how they would circulate from man to
man. His remarks were all abstract,
and lacked the analysis and lucid ex-
planation of the true thinker. Bryan
blandly left his hearers with the idea
that they would have plenty of money,
and they seemed to be hypnotically
happy in the possession of that infor-
nation.
The Boy Orator is smooth fellow,
and he has the cast of countenance that
generally goes with the actor. He
looks older than thirty-six, but it is
safe to say that he will look many
thousand years older before he is the
President of these United States

Mr.. eroots Little Joke.

IF we fall" said Groot of Uleve-

nomination by the Silver party, "our
country will be despoiled, our institu.
tons will be destroyed, and our civiliza-
ton will perish. Here in Cleveland,
where Groot is known, this is funny

Wha. Does Bryan Care.

Speaking for myself, it is immater-
ial in my Judgment whether the sheep
grower receives any benefit from the
tariff or not''-W. j. Bryan.
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1896-10-02

WHERE was the tariff in Bryan's
speech Thursday? He skillfully avoid
ed it. He seemed to know of number
less things which he thought best to
keep to himself.

BRYAN's invective against the Repub-
licans was awfully weak stuff. He at
tempted it once, but it was scarcely
recognized, so he let it drop.
