the introductory address.
. The Fort Wayne train this morning
drought two extra coaches filed with
shouting Mckinley men from East Bra
az, Pa. They carried q banner which
announced the party as the "Piutocrats
6f Clarion county, Pa" The delegation
was introduced by N. e. Graham and
addressed by Major Mckinley from
his front porch in part as follows:
There is one thing which think we
are sometimes too apt to forget-we are
TOO apt to forget what Is behind US and
too apt to be needless Of our own ex-
perience. We can hardly rellize that
from 1873 to 1898 we reduced the public
debt from s2,3ss, ,ss1 ,soS in 1866 to $780,
Oe0, 900. We paid on during those twenty
years 81, ,62s, ,673 of the public debt,
and we were under a protective tariff
and sound money system when we were
making the large payments. Two-thirds
az the great debt has disappeared and
while we were paying it off we were
building In this country the most splen~
did industrial enterprises, giving con-
slant and steady employment to Amer
lean labor at fair wages, and giving 10
the farmers of the country just re-
ward for their toll and labor. During
that period for the greater part of the
time we were selling more goods abroad
than we were buying abroad. And the
balance Of trade. settled as 1t was In
gold, gave us the good yellow money
from the other side of the ocean.
Now. my friends. four years ago the
people of this country determined to
change that policy, and they did change
It. What has been the result? We have
since that time created a national debt,
e principal and interest of about $780,
OO0, 900. We have had for the greater
part Of that time deficiency in the
treasury, a government not collecting
sufncient revenue to meet its current
expenses and labor has been lily en-
ployed during that period.
Your spokesman tells me that in your
county thirty-one blast furnaces have
been stopped. What does that mean?
1t means that wages have been stopped.
1t means that labor has been unem-
ployed. 1t means that comforts have
been taken away from hundreds Of
American homes which had previously
enjoyed them. 1t means distress; and
what is true OF your county has been
substantially true-possibly not to so
large degree-of other counties of your
state and throughout the entire coun-
try. Now, what we want to do, wheth-
er we are railroad men or farmers or
professional men or mechanics or labor
ing men. is to get back to policy that
win give us chance to increase our
manufacturing. improve our home mar
ket, extend our foreign market and give
employment every day in the year to
every workingman who wants work.
(Great cheering)
II we will but follow the lamp of ex-
perience in the direction in which that
lamp leads us on November 8, we will
vote down the policies which have
brought us to these conditions and vote
to continue monetary system built
upon o solid basis. which will give US
the best money in the world, a money
which panic cannot disturb and busi-
ness failures canSot depreciate. (Tre.
mendous applause.)

In 1911, the Danae, French frigate,
with 2120,000 in gold on board, was sunk
in the harbor of Trieste. Efforts have
frequently been made since to raise It,
but in vain. Divers have recently sue
ceeded in laying bare a part of the
ships skeleton, and they hope to raise
it with crane.

The fair princess of France
Because he dared to love so high,
He, bearing her dear weight, must speed
To where the mountains touched the sky,
So the proud king decreed.
Unhalting he must bear her on,
Nor pause space to gather breath,
And on the height she would be won
And she was won in death.
