about 500 voters from the Lehigh valley
district of Pennsylvania arrived in this
city at 10 o'clock this morning to pay
their respects to Major Mckinley.
Major Mckinley, in responding, dwelt
at some length upon
THE TARIFF QUESTION.
eve have more free trade in this
country he declared, than any other
country in the world: but it is free trade
at home and among our own states. We
want all that kind of free trade we can
have, but We want no free trade with
foreign countries"
He concluded by urging the necessity
of sound currency.
Sandusky county sent a big crowd of
its inhabitants. Despite the rain they
were unusually enthusiastic.
R. D. Dewey, an attorney of CLYDE, act
ed as the spokesman for the party. He
eulogiZed the late President Hayes and
spoke of the magnificent war records Of
the late Generals auckland and McPher-
son.
When Major Mckinley rose to respond
he was greeted with great applause. He
said:
"Ohio is full of glorious memories, and
the words of your spokesman have re-
vived them in my mind ] know OF no
state in the Union that has contributed
more to the honor and glory OF the re-
public than the state OF ONO. Know
of no county in the state that carries the
ashes OF
MORE NOBLE DEAD
than sandusky county, which you repre-
sent. But you have come here, my fell
low citizens, TO give me assurances OF
your devotion to the Republican cause
| and pleasing as it would be to me to in
call your attention in the briefest man
ner to some of the subjects
that. are engaging at this mo-
ment the most earnest atten-

read today in the North American Re-
view an article by the secretary Of the
navy, Mr.. Herbert of Alabama, whom I
well knew as a member Of the national
| house of representatives.. He has just
! visited Europe, and he describes the bus
mess conditions of Germany and En-
! gland and France a possessing an era of
ACTIVITY AND PROSPERITY,
the like of which they never enjoyed be-
fore. He closes by saying that the Uni
/ ted States was never so unprosperous as
/ it IS today, and then he makes the in
! quiry: Why is it that the United States
/ and its working people, with all our nat
| ural resources, are not enjoying a share
! of the prosperity that is enjoyed by En-
gland and Germany and France? We
| all know. my fellow citizens, why we
are in the midst of depression, and [
! think we know why these great nations
of the world-our comprehensive pros

work. and they are doing more of it for
us. Everybody admits the condition that
! Mr.. Herbert describes. l. need not stop
to discuss with you the cause. Every
] body knows it's source. The question in
! every American mind is how to remove
! the cause, and how to get back the old
| prosperity which we had enjoyed for
more than a third of century. If we
don't use the power of the ballot which
we possess to subserve our own best in
/ terests, then we do not use the ballot to
! the best advantage. We cannot improve
/ the condition of this country by decreas-
ing the value of our money, and max
I ing believe that cents worth of silver

After listening attentively to the ad-
dress of Major Mckinley a procession
was formed and marched through the
/ rain up to the Mckinley residence. There
they presented to Mrs. Mckinley beau
tiful collection of roses, the gift of the
ladies Of Sandusky.
