M'KINLEY FOR SOUND MONEY
Clear-Cut and Unmlstakable Declarations In
His Speeches.

Organization Of Boston, dated May II, 1885,
Whether or not Ex-Governor McKin-
Icy is to be the Republican Presidential
candidate, he is such an eminent leader
Of the party that his views on public
questions are Of great interest.
During the campaign for the nomina
tiOn it has been his policy to simply refer
inquirers to his record. Fortunately he
has one. He has fought for sound
money, against Democratic opposition or
looseness, and when his political destiny
was at stake, in manner which now en-
titles him to the confidence and graft
tude of all sound money men, instead of
to the distrust which the opponents OF
protection are trying for obvious reasons
to create.
But whatever may be the opinions or
motives of others, the opinions of Gov
ernor Mckinley himself, spoken in pub
lie controversy when he was not
Presidential candidate, and since then,
when support for the Presidency was
offered to him on a silver salver, are
what people now wish to see, and here
they are:
IN FAVOR OF THE BEST MONEY THAT MAN
HAS DEVISED.
From Mai. McKinlsy's speech as candidate
for Governor In 1898 In answer to his opponent,
Ex-Governor Campbell, who said he was will
ing to chance 1t on free silver.
my worthy opponent should not
chance anything with a question of
such vital and absorbing interest as the
money of the people. The money of
America must be equal to the best
money of the world. Unlike my oppo-
nent, will not ask you to take any
chances on this question; will clearly
and unequivocally say to you that my
voice and influence are in favor of the
best money that the ingenuity Of man
has devised. The people are not pre-
pared to indulge in the speculation Of
free and unlimited coinage"
NO FIAT MONEY
From McKinley's speech in Congress- May
25, 1890
81 do not propose by any vote of mine
to force the people of the United States,
the farmers and laborers, to the cheapest
money of the world or to any policy
which might tend in that direction.
Whatever dollars we have in this coun-
try must be good dollars, as good in the
hands of the poor as the rich; equal dol
lars, equs. in inherent merit, equal in
purchasing power, whether they be
paper dollars, or gold dollars, or silver
dollars, or treasury notes-each convert
ible into the other, and each exchanged
bic for the other, because each is based
upon an equal value and has behind it
equal security; good, not by the fat Of
law alone, but good because the whole
commercial world recognizes its inherent
and inextinguishable value. There
should be no speculative features in our
money, no opportunity for speculation in
the exchanges Of the people. They must
be safe and stable"
NO THRILLING WITH THE MEASURE OF VALUE
From McKinley's speech at the Academy of
Music, Philadelphia, September 2S, 1892
"My fellow citizens, there is one thing
which this country cannot afford to trife
with, and that is its currency, its meas
urs of value, the money which passes
among the people in return for their
lnhnr nnh tho nrndnnta Of THAR foil or Of

That is the kind of money which it if
the paramount interest Of every citizen
Of this country, no matter to what polit
ical party he may belong, to want tC
maintain and continue"
AGAINST ALL UNsoUND FINANCIAL POLL
CIES.
From McKinley's Philadelphia speech, 1892
"For thirty years the Democratic lead
ers have been unsound in their financial
policies. This unsoundness has not al
ways taken the same form, but it's effect
has always been to corrupt and debast
the currency Of the country. Driven
from their opposition to resumption by
the thoughtful men of their party, who
voted against them when that issue was
presented, they then demanded an infla.
tion of the currency and the payment ol
the bonds in greenbacks. Routed from
that position by the sober sense of the
country, they became the advocates Of
the free and unlimited coinage Of dol
lar worth less than 100 cents. Driven
from that by party exigenoy, they now
pronounce for a financial policy which
would inflict upon the country the most
worthless currency we have ever had"
WE MUST HAVE THE BEST MONEY.
From McKinley's Marquette Club speech
February u, 1896.
1.-THE Republican party would as soor
think Of lowering the flag Of our country
as to contemplate with patience or with
out protest and opposition any attempt
to degrade or corrupt the medium of ex
changes among the people, 1t can be
relied upon in the future, as in the past
to supply the country with the best
money ever known, gold, silver and
paper, good the world over"
WOULD NOT RUN ON A FREE SILVER PLAT
FORM.
Chicago Times-Herdld, May s, 1896.
A year ago, in Thomasville, Ga, Maj
Mckinley, when offered the delegates ol
three Southern States if he would de-
clare for free silver, said in the presence
Of the editor of this journal; "If the
Republican platform declares for free
coinage / will not be q candidate. ]
would not run on free silver platform. y
MUST HOLD TO THE GOLD STANDARD UNTIL
INTERNATIONAL RATIO IS ESTABLISHED.
From the New York Tribune, May 8, 1896
President Hepburn and many other
bank presidents have given expression to
their hearty approval of Maj. McKinley's
position. There is recalled by the Shoe
and Leather Reporter a statement made
by Maj. Mckinley April 7 to reporter
Of the New York Recorder at Canton, in
which he quoted and reaffirmed the fol
lowing words from speech at Niles, o.:
81 am in favor Of the double standard,
but | am not in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver in the United
States until the nations of the world
shall join us in guaranteeing to silver a
status which the laws now accord 10
gold. With our present light, every con-
sideration Of safety requires US to hold
our present status until the great ma.
tions shall agree to an international
ratio" 1t is hard to see what statement
could be more explicit than this"

The State dispensary has paid into

amount mentioned above as profits
up to that time. This amount was
in the shape of unrealized assets:
The Legislature thereupon considered
the matter in the light of the man

the conclusion, as expressed IN the
act that was passed, was reached
that this amoun: must be paid to the
State treasurer from the profits of the
dispensary in cash before any of the
dispensary funds could be applied to
the general school fund Up to yes
te.day none of the money had been
paid to the treasurer. Some time

of $4,000 by Nov. l if possible.
