CANTON, Ohio, Oct. 7.-Major Nc
Kinley had $500 visitors today, and
made four speeches. The visitors from
Geauga county, Ohio, numbered 1850;
from Ashland county 400; from Parkers-

The big delegation from Geauga

The first speech was made to the first
Mckinley club of Indiana, as follows:
My fellow citizens: It gives me
great pleasure to meet you here at my
home this morning. 1t is always a dis
! tinction TO have a political organization
adopt ones name. It is especially graf
flying to ne to pe assured that if yoc-
were NOT the first club in the United
States to give me the honor of adopting
my name, you Were certainly the first
! in the state of Indiana. We are engaged
! this year in a great national contest,
the result Of which will demand for
Years to come the Republican policy
which shall govern this country Cow

There is a good
DEAL OF MISUNDERSTAND
as to how government gets its money.
Ihere are some people who seem to be-
lleve that the way the government gers
IT'S money is to make 1t. The govern
i HenC gets IT'S money by taxation, and
can get II In no other way. There are
three or four sources from which the
government nj no T1,i{
the money with which to nav It's run
ming expenses. The chief sources or
revenue are through tariffs and inter
iiaI revenue. Then the government gets
some money through the sales of its
l'ubIlc lands, and gets some money from
us postal service, and from these
sources there comes the money that is
ANNUALLY required to meet and discharge
public expenses.
