creases debts Of the Government and
debts for the people and want and des-
titution for all of US. Cries of 1--WE
want prosperity and we want McKin-
ley.'O
The Republican party stands for an
honest dollar; for the maintenance of
the public honor; for sustaining the
public faith; for sustaining incorroupti-
Die the courts of the country, and for
proclaiming to all the world that this
Is Government of law, and that the
law mast be supreme above Ill. In
this great contest the great Republican
party has been designated to carry the
banner that represents those great
principles, and men Of all parties this
year are rallying around that banner.
because it embraces what they believe
to be the highest good Of the people
and the glory Of the country"
Next came a delegation of 700 from
Guersney County. Major Mckinley
said:
Il am one of those who believe that
the majority of the citizens of this
country-no matter what may have
been their political relations in the past
are interested in achieving for the
NOAiAeA iSo hiSiiOot pIOSpCllkS anu tAA~
well being of the people. I believe there
have been a great many people who
honestly believed that the free coinage
OF the silver of the world might be q
good thing, but after full investigation
of the subject are satisfied it would be
altogether the wrong thing. The Amer
lean people want no dishonesty in their
Government; they want no dishonest
standards of value; they want no false
weights, false measures, false values
or false economy. Now, think the peo-
pie of this country believe that we
ought to have a protective tariff,
enough to raise money to run the Gov
ecnment and keep it out of debt: high
enough to keep American shops run
ming and American workmen employed
(cheerS), and high enough to preserve
the nome market, the best market in
the world, to the American farmer and
agriculturist"
The last delegation Of the day came
from Indiana, and arrived just before
dusk. 1t was composed of enthusiastic
republicans from For. Wayne, Val
paraiso, Plymouth and Stark Counties.
Major Mckinley said:
I'VE want to see to it as citizens of
this country that the grand civilization
that we enjoy and the splendid free in
stitutions which we have inherited
Shall not be permitted to suffer, least
OF all to suffer at our hands. A Gov
ernnent of the people, which rests upon
the consent of the governed, is a Gov
ernment that can be made by the peo-
pie to express just what policies they
believe will best subserve their own in
terests. You will have IN opportunity
one week from next Tuesday to ex-
press by your individual ballots what
you think of the great questions that
divide US this year. They are questions
which ought not to be troublesome in
rightful determination
The question as to whether good
money or poor money is wanted should
not create doubt in any mind We want
good money, good at )me and good
abroad and good all the time and when
we have parted with our work and Ia Dor
or our products we want something in
return of stable value, and that is the
kiEd of money we have now-gold, sill
YER and paper all alike, all equal in
purchasing and debt paying power,
made good by the Government of the
United States.
1t is now proposed that we shall open
our mints to the free coinage Of the sill
Yer of the world. How is the working
man to get any profit out of it? The
| only way he can get profit is by his
labor. If you should coin all the silver
in the world you could not get any
profit from it. The trouble is not with
money; it is that we want something e
to do. 1t is the lost job we want back
(Cries of "Right,) / know the people
of Indiana are in favor of law and or
der and of honest money. (Cries Of
And of Major McKinley') You are in
favor of good money, good times and
good markets. You know how you lost
some of them, and you know the direct
route to get them back again, and if
you do not follow in that way l shall be
very much surprised"
