POTTERS CALL on McKINJ,Ey
Words Spoken In Praise of n pro,
tect1ve Tariff

CANTON. Ohio, August PA Thousand
workmen from the twenty-eSsht potteries
of East Liverpool, Ohio, travelled seventy
five miles this morning to call on Major
Mckinley at his home. This glazed-ware
industry has been established in America
since Major Mckinley was sent to Congress
from this district twenty years ago.
Chairman w. L. Smith, Col J. N. Taylor
and w. B. Blake headed the delegation.
The latter is a pottery bench worker and
an eloquent talker. The visitors on the
way to Canton and later on their march
to McKinleys residence attracted recruits.
until 1900 enthusiastic, cheering people
gathered about the Mckinley home. Mr..
Blake. in part, said:
Under the Wilson-Gorman compromise,
which opened up the fiood-gates of our
ports to foreign products, $4,000 600 worth
Of crockery have been imported. Every dol
lars worth, or a large percentage of it,
could and would have been made in Ameri-
ca under your protective policy. Instead,
our factories have been limp and helpless
Under these unhappy conditions the arti-
sans have been thrown out of employment,
have had to put up with an inordinate
amount OF discontinue, scarcely capable of
keeping their heads above water. The pot
tiers want to see prosperous times again,
and to this end they will vote for sound
money, a protective policy and William
Mckinley. Your peerless record in Con-
gress. your ardent devotion for the cause of
protection, your love for everything Ameri-
can. your principles, which have never been
vacillating nor ambiguous; your life itself,
which has been an open book, in which is
written in letters Of gold the faithful per-
formance of every duty, have all endearcd
great nation, and especially to the hearts
Of this delegation"

The STR received the following note from
him, written at the hospital:

TAKES EFFECT ]; SEPTEMBER
Secretary Hoke Smiths Resignation to Be
Operative Then.
PreparationA Made for the Res.mp-
tion IF HI. Law Practice
In Georgia.

The resignation of Secretary Hoke Smith
takes effect September l. Whether his sue
cessor will qualify on that date is not yet
known. Secretary Smith. according to his
present plans. will leave Washington on
that day and go to Lincolnton, N. c.. where
he will spend few days with his family,
who have been sojourning there part Of the
summer
After his short stay he will return to At
lanta and at once resume his law practice.
The old partnership firm of Hoke Smith.
burton Smith, the Secretary's brother, and
Thomas Glenn, which was dissolved just
after the beginning of the administra ton,
has been revived, the Secretary having
signed the partnership contract when he
made his last visit here. Judge John Pen
dleton has been taking care of Mr.. Smith S
legal affairs here during the Secretarys alb
sence. but, contrary to impression, he is not
a partner.
Secretary Smith does not now contem-
plate active work in the political fight AS
he has explained to several of his friends.
he regards his step in leaving the cabinet
as the strongest action that he could take
in the interests of the regular democratic
nominees. That he will later determine to
speak in the interests of the ticket Is pos
sible.

A special meeting OF the Bureau Of La
Dor and Workingmen's Library Association
was held Saturday evening, and the sub
ject Of the ways and means by which the
labor bureau could be better supported
than it is at present was discussed.
The committee having charge Of the SUBJ
ject reported that they had found upon
Investigation, that there was q strong
minority in nearly all the organizations
which had declined to vote money from
their treasury for the support Of the bu-
reau who would be willing to subscribe
Individually, and plans are being consider
ed whereby these persons can be reached
Among other propositions made to the
committee was that they would have a
course Of popular lectures during the win
ter, to which a nominal admission fee will
be charged.
1t is probable that definite plan Of pro-
cedure will be agreed upon by the commit
tee at their next meeting.

Judge Cole Refuses to Act i'm q Osn-
tractors Suit.
Judge Cole today dissolved the restraining
order and refused to appoint the COM
plainant receiver in the suit filed July 10
last by the Peoples Trust Company against
Washington A. Whaley and Harry Taylor.
The court was asked to restrain the de-
PENDANTS from collecting s17,35O from Sec
retary Carlisle until their accounts could
be adjusted in connection with the building
Of certain barracks at Willets Point, N Y
Messrs. Whaley and Taylor erected the
barracks, and John J. Leonard, George
Schofiald and William K. Hammond held
claims against them. The three claimants
because Of a misunderstanding between
them in regard to the matter, had the
Peoples Trust Company appointed their
receiver. In the capacity mentioned the
company brought the suit.
In disposing Of the case Judge Cole ruled
that he could not appoint an out-of-town
party receiver when there are parties here
holding claims against the defendants
These parties are William C. Shelley, John
c. Fay and Henry E. Davis
Immediately after the decision was
rendered Messrs Schofield and Leonard
filed suit on their own responsibility, asking
that a receiver be appointed and an ac-
counting ordered. Judge Cole signed

Attempt at Burglary.

Some time between II o'clock Saturday
night and o'clock this morning burglars
visited the furniture store Of Mason C..
Grasty. No. 1912 7th street northwest. and
made an Intellectual attempt to rob the
safe. An entrance was effected by cutting
a piece out of the rear door. This was
done with butcher knife that was left on
the premises. When the burglars got in
side the store they evidently made search
for money, and. finding none, they made
attack on the door of the heavy iron safe.
The combination was battered, but the door
was not opened. So far as is known. moth
ing but an old revolver was taken. The
police have no idea that the burglars were
professional, because of the bungling man
ner in which the attempt to rob the safe
was made. The old pistol was of the
Swamp Angep' make. An effort is being
made by the police to find the burglars.

Mr.. QUAYS RETURN
It is an Event and Marks q
Period.
THE CAMPAIGN HAS WAITED FOR HIM
He is to Quiet Dissensions and As
sumo Leadership.
HARMONIOUS CANDIDATES

Senator Quay will arrive in New York in
a few days to remain during the cam
paign. He las been in Florida for several
weeks on fishing trip. 1t Is stated, how
ever, that he has found time for politics,
and has been looking carefully into the
southern situation. His information and
conclusions the subject will probably
be promptly communicated to Mr.. Hanna,
and whatever is attempted in the south by
the republicans will doubtless be fashioned
according to his report and suggestions.
The Fighting Chance
So far the republican national committee
has made no sign of its Intentions toward
the south. The result Of the state election
III Alabama was a good deal Of a damper,
and. besides. the republican managers
recognize the fact that the possession of
the elections machinery down there gives to
the democrats very good advantage.
Still, In Florida, in Louisiana, in Virginia,
West Virginia and Kentucky sound money
democrats are making such notable demon
stratioIs the feeling is growing that these
ought to be encouraged, and that. II prop
erly assisted, they would become profitable.
1t may be. therefore, that the republican
committee, upon Mr. Quay's motion, will
decide to make fight for the states men
ton In connection with local democratic
sound money organizations.
As u Mediator.
But the leading point Of interest in con-
nection with Mr.. Quay's return relates to
the campaign in the east, and particularly
in New York. A good deal of friction ex-
lists, and no local pressure has been able to
remove 1t. Mr.. Hanna sees the difficulty,
but being a stranger hesitates about the
remedy. Mr.. Quay is not stranger, and
moreover is on cordial terms with both
sides to the controversy. His services as
mediator, there Is every reason to believe,
will be requested, and of course will be at
the committees command.
The Real Leader
New York headquarters without Mr.. Quay
have not attracted the very widest atten-
ton. There has been manifested a DISPOSE
ton on the part Of many eastern leaders
to walt until his arrival on the scene to
appear on the scene themselves They
know him well, and trust in his general
snip, and from now on the eastern field is
likely to show increased and increasing
animation.
A Harmonious Ticket.
Mr.. Hobart ard Mr. Quay are to work
together. Both are familiar with the manu-
featuring centers, and will see that the
issue Is presented In those localities in a
way 10 make the strongest impression on
the voters. That the tariff will play a ma RI
equal 10 the currency in the east is now

FARMERS CALL on MCKINLEY.
He Tells Them That Free Silver VIII
Not Lessen Competition.


CANTON. Ohio, August 2i.-It was near
ly 1 O'Clock when a party of seven car
loads of Knox county farmers reached
Canton by special Pennsylvania train.
They had the Centerburg (Ohio) Cornet
Eand with them. and no more enthusiastic
legation has reached Canton than they
They marched the mile from the station to
the Mckinley home in good form. A local
farmer headed the parade with a load Of
new mown hay. They We're sturdy-Iook-
ing crowd of men. and cheer after cheer
went up as their chairman appeared on
the stoop with Major Mckinley.
II. d. Critchfeld of Mount Vernon. a son
OF a Knox county farmer, made a neat pre-
sentation.
Maj Mckinleys response was repeatedly
interrupted with applause. and it was quite
long He said the hardship of the Amer
lean farmers came from too many conpeti-
tors over the whole world. They also
came from the fact that the farmers best
customers, the American workingmen. hal
been largely out of work for the past three
years The republican party could not dis
pose pos OF the competitors. but it could help
the american market for the farmer
The home market under protection con-
sumed % per cent Of American agricultural
products He said that the home market
Is the best market: that the factory was
the farmers best friend that prosperity
had come 10 the farmer through the fac
tories and not through the mints He said
he had no fear of the farmers vote In
1892 they had stood firmly and Loyalty
against free trade. They would stand
against Tree trade and free silver this year.
That TO lower the standard of values would
not give the farmer any actual gain. But
the panic of a free trade and free silver
policy would but add to the hardships of
the last three years.
He quoted from the presidential messages
OF Fillmore. Jackson and Buchanan to
show that a low tariff policy had always
worked to the hardship of agriculture. He
said free silver would not cure over-pro-
duct.on of farm products or the under-con-
sumption of the American people Free
silver would not close the wheat fields of
Russia, India or the Argentine Republic.
The farmer as we'll as the workingman
wanted his pay in an honest dollar
