A SPEECH TO INDIANIANS
In addressing this delegation, Major Mckinley
dwelt upon the inability Of the Government 10
create value money. lie said:
Your presence is most gratifying to me. 1t
means that you have a deep concern for the
Welfare Of your country and that you believe
your welfare will be best suDserved by RepuD-
Ncan triumph on November >. If the financial
plan advocated by Our allied opponents be prac-
tical and sound, then the trainers of our Consti-
tuition idled away very much time and wasted
very much effort in providing plan for raising
money to conduct the Government. If this new
departure so-called, be in any sense practicable,
then do not need any tarlH laws in thls
country any tax laws. any custom houses or
any tax collectors anywhere; because, If you can
make money out OF nothing by the mere breath
Of Congress then it is idle to impose taxes upon
the people to bear the burden and expense Of
conducting the Government. If by mere fiat.
whether II be fiat 10 the extent OF 30 cents or to
the extent Of 100 cents; If the Government by a
mere act of Congress can make money. then all
the work Of Washington and Jefferson, lamIi-
ton and Clay and all Of the fnanciers and states
men Of this country was mere idleness and folly.
But their work not idle or foolish. The
Government Of the United States cannot create
something out Of nothing. Great applause.) And
the man OF party that teaches that doctrine
teaches false doctrine. Why That which costs
man nothing Is not worth much Is IL? And II
this Government can create money without any
cost to itself then that money is valueless-vaue-
lss for every purpose. 1t Ii value In money that
makes il a stable medium Of exchange among
the people The point | make IL this, my fellow
citizens, that must get over the idea that
this country the Government makes It's
money. The Government gets It's money Just as
The citizen does by giving something Tor H. The
Government raises S4O0OWWO every year by

presses and its mins To work. buf that the pes, @
