cessantly from early morning an demonstrations on the Mckinley law
 were entirely out of the question
 Four of the visits announced wer postponed. Old soldiers from th
 home at Sandusky and residents ( the vicinity arrived in a special trai of seven coaches soon alter nool They were taken to the Tabernaclt where Maj Mckinley met them. Al address was made by Sergt. Hopkins in behalf of the soldiers, and by L. " Hall on behalf of the citizens.
 A special train of ten coache brought the second delegation. l started from Walkerton, Ind, an' picked up railroad men in all branche of work; farmers, mechanics and citi zens in general between that poin and Cbica Junctien, o. The dele gation was presented by Judge W. L Penfeld of Auburn, Ind. To the h. dianians Maj. Mckinley said:
 I am glad to welcome the citizens o neighboring State, representing al of the occupations and emplo ment o the people. 1 am glad to welcome the farmers and the employees of the Bal timore and Ohio railroad company and citizens generally who have hon. ored me with this call. Applause, Farmers must appreciate, if they dc not already, that we cannot increase their markets or decrease their compe tition, either at home or abroad, by destroying the credits of the country. Applause and cries of"That's right. '') That we cannot cut down the competi tion which they have in India, Russia and the Argentine Republican, or in- crease consumption at home of their products by cutting down the value of our currency. The only way the farmt rs can be benefited Is through Q larger consuming class. (Appiause.)
 MARKETS, NOT MINTS.
 Mints will not furnish the farmer more consumers; he has the most profitable market for what he pro- duces at home and not abroad. (Ap- plause.) He is met in the markets of other lands beyond the,sea; the only market he can rely on every day of the year is the American market (Applause) And what he wants to know is how to make that American market the best. He cannot do 1t by closing the mills. (Cheers) He can not do it by putting out the fires in our furnaces. (Renewed applause.) He cannot do it by taking business away from the great railroad lines. He can only improve the American market by favoring policy that will put every man to work who lives be heath our flag and put them to work at living wages. (Great applause.) Not on the wage scale of some other nation, but on the American scale, the best in the world. (Applause.)
 Andyo cannot improve that market by destroying the credit of the coun try, for the credit Of the country lies at the foundation of capital and pros perity. The moment you destroy the credit Of the country you have taken away from the manufacturer the abil- ity to get money to conduct his busi- ness, and when he cannot conduct bis business he cannot employ men, and when he does not employ men he does not pay wages, and when men do not receive wages they have no wages to spend they make poor customers for the farmers. (Great applause.) The farmer can no more increase the value of wheat by diminishing the value of of the American dollar than he can increase the quality of his hay by diminishing the hay wagon on which he hauls 1t.
