gent self-respectins body of men and
their spokesman, Mr.. Henry Bostwick, of
Indiana. made one OF the most striking,
addresses TO which Major Mckinley has
listened in Canton this summer
He satd:-"From eleven States We
come, representing the overwhelming ma
jority of sentiment of all our fellow
Workmen, who toll in the great window
glass industry in every factory in the
United States"
Mr.. Bostwick then did what the spokes-
man for every labor delegation that has
called on Major Mckinley has done. He
declared that the issue which appealed
to the man who works in the factory,
foundry, or shop is the tariff.
The workingmen who come to Canton,
and they have been here in large num-
bers, have the notion firmly fixed in their
minds that the present tariff law is re-
sponsible for their present lack of pros
perity Mr.. Bostwsck said on this point:
1--WE want the protective principle re-
stored. We are satisfied with the quality
of our dollars and have no fear as to the
value of our money If the tariff is SO
regulated and levied on such principles
as to best protect American Industries
and to secure sufficient funds to meet
This sentiment was the keynote of the
speech. When Major Mckinley arose to
respond he was greeted with prolonged
applause and hearty cheers.
