dress was made by George r. Davis. Major
Mckinley responded as follows:
The difference between the contest now
and former contests is that we can count
on our side hundreds, thousands, and even
hundreds of thousands. of good, old fash
financial integrity of the United States
(Applause) We are glad TO have them In
association with us. Patriotism is tnever
partisan; 1t Is above that place, One thing
has never been said and never will be said
of the government of the United States, and
that Is II is a government of reputation.
We have always paid every dollar of our
public obligations whether contracted in
peace or war, in the highest and best form
of money known to the civilized world. We
never stopped to inquire what the letter of
the contract might be- we only knew that
any agreement by the United States gov
ernment meant that 1t must be paid in
l0O-cent dollars at the time 1t came due.
We do not propose TO commence now. after
100 years glorious history of glorious life
and glorious achievements, TO repudiate
our obligations, public or private. (Cheers.)
We do not propose to attempt to ever do
business with n dollar l cent short OF 100
cents. We do not propose TO accept our
financial standard from either Mexico or
China. We propose to run our finances
exactly as we have always run them, with
fairness and absolute integrity on the part
of the government and people; and we pro-
pose another thing, and If the people are
with us we shall achieve II. We propose
to protect ourselves against the products
of the old world to uphold our own fac
tories rather than build up factories for
any other nation on the face of the globe.
The American workshop, the American
farm, the American factory and the Amer
lean workman. of whatever occupation or
calling, are our chief concern, and we
must see 10 1t that there Is no idle man
in America and that none of our work Is
done in Europe so long rs there Is a man
IN lhls country who wants work. 1T is a
policy or honesty. of patriotism and intense
Amerlcanlsm that our grand old party
sttduidSkly HdlntdlnS. L am glad TO meet
you and to greet you / am glad to know
that this year, as In the past. the repub-
leans of your country are enrolled In the
ranks and that sound democrats from every
walk and calling in life are with YOU We
welcome them as valuable allies In this
great contest for good money and the
supremacy of law. l am pleased that you
have made this call and bid you hearty vel
come, but another delegation Is waiting TO
see me and must bid you good afternoon.
