Their Respects to the Ohio States
CANTON (O), Oct. 3.-Fifteen thou
band men came from the mills, fur
naces, farms, pottages, workshops,
mines and counting-rooms OF New
York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois,
and Ohio and marched up the Market
street hill in Canton to-day to hear
Major Mckinley, and then marched
down again with the flush Of enthusi-
asm in their faces and the sound of vic
tory in their ringing cheers.
Major Mckinley surpassed himself
to-day He was engaged in the work
of meeting delegations from breakfast
time to after the sun set and the lamps
had been lighted before the last dele
cation marched away. He spoke to a
great number of large bodies of voters,
representing a vast variety of interests
and industries. He made nineteen
formal speeches and several informal
ones. and talked to thirty delegations.
The day was superb, the air bracing
and the sunshine genial.
Two delegations arrived before
O'Clock. One came from Perryburg
Pa, and numbered more than 800, the
other from Sandy Creek Valley O.,
I,art Of the great Hooking Valley min
ing region. The delegation of miners
numbered 600.
In addressing these two delegations
Major Mckinley said in part:
Coming as you do from a city Of
great rolling mills and other manufac-
tories, having a product in value of
more than $1200O,00O annually, when
your establishments are all running
full time, and from one of the greatest
manufacturing States of the country,
] need hardly be told of the deep and
profound interest which you have in
the right settlement of the issues pre-
sented in this campaign. Both Of the
leading issues are Of sufficient import
ance to your industrial life and pros
perity to command your unremitting
labor and effort
Government expenditures must not
exceed Government receipts The Gre
alton of a public debt in a time of
peace is only justified in sustaining z
the credit Of the Government and the
public honor, but it should not be con-
tinued moment longer than the Con-
gress whose duty it is to raise the rev.
enue shall make provision to supply it,
tApplauseD No one has suffered more
under these conditions than the farm
ers of the United States They have
lost much by diminished home mar
lzet, and have suffered in the foreign
market because of the repeal Of thereof
procity provisions of the tariff law Of
1880. The foreign market opened by
TfPinFr0PirV no n jct, =
of President Harrison must be reopened
and the home market must be reopened
and the home market must be improved
ard protected for the American farmer
and the American workshop must be
secured for American workmen. CAP

NO patriotic American should OBJ
Ject to our regaining and then holding
our proud rank Of the greatest manu-
featuring, mining and farming nation
of the world. (Applause) With me
the necessity of the restoration of a
1udicious and wise American tariff pol
icy is firm conviction, second to moth
ing in Importance except the preserva-
aion Of law and order which we must
have (applause), of justice and domes-
Tic tranquility and the preservation of
our credit, our currency and our ma
1ional honor
