lican club of that city. The train
reached Canton at seven o'clock and,
escorted ~ the local drum corps and
cavalry company organized for the cam
paign, marched with drums beating and

dencc. They were Joined en- route by

when they reached their destination
the crowd comprised several Thousand
people. Congressme.n II. C. Van vocr-
his was spokesman for the visitors.
Maj Mckinley was received with
cheers as he mounted chair 10 respond.
His remarks were on this occasion
chiefly notable for his first reference,
in any Of his speeches, to the financial
plank in the platform. when he said:
when we give fun days work
we are entitled to be paid in full dol
lar" 1t was also notable that this
evoked the first applause. Maj. McKin-
ley said:
I'VE have had some experience I'm the
last three years and half; experience has
superseded pro-hecy. and cold facts have
taken the place =. prediction. We all know
more than We Knew three years and half
ago. and we are all ready and anxious &c
get back to the period of 1892, when this
country was enjoying its highest pros
pe rity. with the largest domestic trade

trade with the nations OF the world. We
want TO get back to that policy, my fellow
citizens. which will give to us work and
wages. give to agriculture home market
and good foreign market. which was
opened up by reciprocity legislation of the
republican party. We have come to appre-
ciate that protective tariffs are better than
likeness, and that wise tariff legislation Is
more businesslike than debts and deficien-
cies. and all feel that the sooner we can
change that policy which increases the
debts of the government TO the policy OF
paying as we GO the sooner we will reach
individual and national prosperity. And,
my countrymen, there Is another thing
the people are determined upon. and that
is that a full days work must be paid in
full dollar"
