TWO SHORT SPEECHES.
MIR. Mckinley Addresses More Visitors at
His Home.


His Home.
Canton, o., Aug. 29.-Maj. Mckinley
made two speeches Friday, and they
were both short. His first visitors were
a committee representing the execu-
tive committee of the National Repub-
lican league. They came fresh from
the meeting at Milwaukee. John Good
noe, of Minnesota, delivered an address,
and Maj Mckinley responded briefly.
Among other things he said:
81 have seen somewhere the inquiry,
Cannot the United States establish finan-
cial system of their own; is IL too weak and
dependent to do thatT l answer: The
United States now has a financial policy
which I'm the main Ii has been pursuing
since the beginning of the government,
and which IL does not mean to change
until II can find a better one. Those who
make the inquiry are usually against our
American policy of finance, and they are
insisting that we shall adopt the financial
policy OF China and Mexico. i hope IL will
not be thought an evidence oflack of national
spirit or national Independence that we de-
cline to adopt their proposition"
At four o'clock a large delegation of
United Brethren clergymen, who are at
tending a conference here. called upon
Maj. Mckinley. Bishop ]. II. Mills, of
Oregon, spoke in behalf of the ministers
and Maj. Mckinley, in response. said.
among other things:
Good citizenship lies at the foundation
of our true greatness as free government
Those who proclaim II are indeed Chris
tian teachers and public benefactors. The
better the citizen the better free govern
ment and its laws. II is a gratifying fact
that in our form Of government character
counts for so much: the lack of II amounts
TO almost disqualification for public trust.
Whatever mems individual opinions on
moral questions are, or may be, whether
good or bad; whatever may be their party
affiliations. all prefer that public officials
shall be OF high character and worth.
They may be needless of virtue and care
less in their own lives, but they insist
that those who are to execute the public
will shall be men Of unquestioned integ-
rity. Public opinion demands this, and hap
PLY all political parties respect it.

BRYAN QUOTES CARLISLE.
The Candidate Speaks at Farmer Al
lance Meeting.


knowlesville. n. Y. Aug. 29.-The
Bryan party reached here at 1:10 p. IN.
Friday. During the afternoon Mr..
Bryan attended a Farmers alliance
picnic and addressed a large audience.
In his address TO tie farmers Mr.. Bryan
read an extract from Mr.. Carlisle's
speech Of 1878, and commenting on it,
said:
John @. Carlisle divided society into two
classes. On the one side he put the idle hold
ers of idle capital: on the other he put the
struggling masses, who produce the wealth
end pay the taxes of the country. If that
Division existed then IL exists to-day. More
than that, John g. Carlisle said that pub
lie officer sworn to do his duty would be
controlled In bis Official conduct by his
sympathies, and II his sympathies were
with the idle holders of idle capital. he
would coin as little money as possible,
whereas, II his sympathies were with
the struggling masses. he would coin as
much as the law would permit.
MY friends, the issue to-day is between
the idle holders of idle money and the
struggling masses who produce the wealth
and pay the taxes of the country. And
when this is understood. when men find out
about the money question, you will find
out IL there is a man In your community
whose interests whose sympathies are
with the idle holders of idle money, he viii
be in favor OF a gold standard and not dar-
ing to say 50 he VIII talk about honest
money and sound dollar But II his
sympathies are with those who produce
the nations wealth, he will be for the gold
and silver coinage of the constitution.
They tell us that these prominent finau-
ciers are going to leave the democratic
party because Ii declares for the restora-
ton of silver. We shall not go into court
to secure an order TO pre- ent their going
The democratic party has been weighed
down by those millstones long enough.
l am glad to be rid of those who want to
use the party organization for private
gain and their country for public plupder.
Let me read little from Mr.. Carlisle's
speech" A voice: why do you read
from Carlisle's speech?'
MIR. Bryan-"Why? Because no man has
presented a more forcible argument in
favor of blrnetallism than MIR. Carlisle
has"

European observers have recently
noticed a strange fact regarding the
freaks played by lightning. 1t appears
that deaths from lightning strokes are
extremely rare in the large cities,
though only too numerous in the rural
districts. The only solution is that the
multiplicity of wires, instead of invit-
ing the electric fluid, conveys it safely
away. Old Ben Franklin's head was
