Mckinley in Line,

Mckinley heretofore has $1,000 fOl
protection. In his speech of accept.
ance he gave more attention to the tar
riff than to the money question. The
radical action of the democratic con.
yentIOn, however, seems to have rous.
ed Mckinley to the Importance of the
money question as an issue in the pres.
ent campaign. In an address to a re-
publican club that called upon him
Saturday, Mr.. Mckinley said:
"Recent events have imposed upon
the patriotic people of this country a
responsibility greater than the civil
war. Then it was a struggle to pre-
serve the government of the United
States. Now it is a struggle to pre-
serve the honor of the government.
Then it was a contest to save the
union. Now it is a contest to save its
spotless credit. Then section was ar
rayed against section. Now men Of
all sections can unite and will unite to
rebuke the reputation of our obli-
cations and the debasement of our cur
renoy. In this contest patoriotism is
above party and national honor is dear
er than party name, The currency
and the credit of the government are
good now and must be kept good for
ever. Our trouble is not with the
character Of the money we have, but
with the threat to debase it."
This puts Mckinley squarely in line
