MKINLEYS SECOND SPEECH
By consolidating the delegation from Lorain
County with that from Erie, Major Mckinley
was able to make one speech answer for the
visitors from both places He said:
Ladies and gentlemen and my fellow-citi-
zens: There are represented in this great assem-
blage to-day citizens from the State Of Penn
sylvania and citizens from own State. There
are assembled here the citizens of Lorain
County Ohio; the Lincoln Club Of the city Of
Erie. PENN and representatives Of the Repub-
Ncan League of the State OF Pennsylvania.
which only yesterday adjourned in the city of
Erie You are here from different sections of
the country; you are here representing different
occupations and callings in life but you are all
here with common purpose. all here with a
common aim, and all marching under the same
glorious old flag. tremendous cries OF "Hur-
rah for McKinleyi)
| II bid each and every one Of you welcome TO
my home. / ! ,ow many Of my own fellow
zens of Ohio who do me honor by their visit to-
! day. Appause) know something of the great
| resources Of Lorain County and OF its splendid
agricultural lands, its great port on the lake and
! its manufacturing industries: but -bove all
| know and value the splendid spirit of loyalty
| and patriotism of its people. Great cheering)
' II bid the Lincoln Club Of the city of Erie

ored name in Republican annals. and none Is

| a name which belongs not to single city, q
| single State, to any aggregation of clubs, but
to the whole American people. 1t is not the

| the ages Great applause) 1t is full of in

of American citizenship. doubt If there is any
| other name in American history which more
| fully typifes the possibilities and triumphs Of

| Lincoln. (Cheers)
STANDING WHERE LINCOLN STOOD.
His life and career put TO shame the false
doctrine now insidously promulgated. that
there are class divisions in the United States
| tremendous applause and cries of "Good.'o
| Humble of birth. surrounded by poverty forced
by circumstances to acquire unaided whatever
|
front, reaching the highest place in the gift Of
a free people, and the greatest place in the
world Great applause and cries Of well put
Mckinley there, too.D He demonstrated while
in Office wonderful ability and met every pub
lie eXigency in the most trying years in our his
tory with cOnsummate sagacity and strength.
1T is gratifying to to know that on the
great questions which are dividing us this year
Mr.. Lincoln stood from the beginning Of his
early manhood where stand to-day. We
have the satisfaction Of knowing that In the
present struggle we are close to nm and nave
his approval of the great principles we adVo-
| cate. (Applause) No man has Shown more
thorough knowledge Of the tariff and its effects
upon domestic prosperity than he. Forty-three
years ago he made address upon the sub
jet of tariff and taxation, and their influence
upon the condition of the country. which l do
| not think has been eXcelled by anybody before
or since. 1t is peculiarly applicable to the pres
| ent situation Mr. Lincoln said: The first OF
our resolutions declares tariff OF duties upon
foreign importations, producing sufficient reve-
| nue. for the support Of the General Government
and so adjusted to protect American In
dustry, TO be indspensably necessary to the
| prosperity of the American people; and the sec
ond declares direct taxation for National reve-
nue. to be improper Applause2 -.
Listen to his description Of the condition OF
| the country at the time when he spoke and how
| wildly il portrays the times in which we live:
For several years past the revenues OF the Gov
eminent have been unequal TO It's expenditure.
and consequently loan after loan, sometimes
direct and sometimes indirect in FORM have
been resorted TO. BY this means new National
debt has been created. and Is sun growing on US
with rapidly fearful to contemplate rapldlty
