+ My Fellow Citizens: give hearty and
sincere welcome to my fellow citizens of
Lebanon, Berks and Chester counties of the
great State of Pennsylvania. The heart of the
American people Is always right. You can
safely submit any great public question with
confidence to the American people. Mr.. lin
coin once said that there no safer trib-
unal on earth than the American people and
If the Almighty ruler Of the universe is on
our side or on your slde," that side would
surely prevail. The aspiration of the Amer
lean people is for advancement in the march
of progress towards theff realization of tile
highest destiny for, this cthe freest govern,
ment on earth What Sar people want is an
est labor, an opportunity to develop the great
resources which God has given u.s. an oppor-
tunity to work out high and glorious dcs-
tiny not only for ourselves. but for all man
kind-for the higher tbs destiny we achieve
for ourselves the better and the more we
benefit all the races of mankind. Now, 1t oc-
ours to me that before the people of this coun-
try can be expected to have confidence in that
wing Of the democratic party that Is not in
control of its organization. before we can be
expected to entrust it with further power or
Of control Of the government and accept its
promise that with free silver will come better
times to all of us4-that before we do that it
seems to me the democratic party ought to
make good the loss 1t has entailed upon us. in
the last three years and half. Great ap-
plause.)
dence in their present prescription when the
prescription that they gave us in 1892 and
which they insisted was the cure for all our
troubles was SO complete q failure (Great
laughter and applause.) They now saw the
present prescription. entirely different from
the old one, will correct all our difficulties,
and it does seem to that they are asking
a great deal Of confidence from the American
people. (Applause.) We cannot very well for
get their former deception, for the people
were deceived. Their policy not only injured
the people of this country in their occupa-'
TONS not only injured the great manufac-
turing and mining and farming industries of
the country, but 1t almost wrecked the pub
lie treasury. Great eheering)
Now 1 do not need to make any argument
to the men of Pennsylvania. They know all
about this question and think they are all
loud shouts of Eyes. yes; wish it was to-
morrow Then my fellow citizens, It is need
less for me to say another WORD. as another
delegation is waiting, but will be glad to
meet and welcome you all to my home.
TALK TO LUMBERMEN.
To the visiting lumbermen from Chi
cago, Maj. Mckinley said:
My Fellow Citizens:I am indeed glad Ito to
meet this body Of representative business men
Of the City of Chicago am giad TO pc as
sured by your spokesman that your great city
by the inland sea will give to the repun-
lican cause the largest majority or any city
in the American unions tApplauseQ am
glad to note that your registration is larger
than that of any, other city OF the Onlteo
States and that the registration means thal
there is to be an Increased vote for sound
money and national honesty on the 30 day OF
November. What We an want whether we
are democrats or Republicans this year, Is
return of conidence-confdence that Will
start the wheels of industry, confidence that
will bring the money out from those strong
boxes to which your enter as that
will give employment to labor, wages 70
workingmen and prosperity to all our people
We know, my fellow lcitlzens, Inat a. one
we lost it, and wesknowrhew we lost 1t. we
know also how to get 1t back again we
cannot get confidence back again by threat
cannot get it back by debasing the currency
with which we do our business. No man
will loan anybody money who has openly
pay it back in 56-cent dollars Isn't that
true? loud shouts Of Yes, yes. that's true,
major.') That's the proposition OF the po-
litical party which stands opposed to us this
year Confidence, my fellow citizens Is the
capital of the world. We do business on con-
fdence. largely; we do not transact all our
business with actual money as every bust
ness man knows. We do it by checks, by
what we may call credit money. You draw
your check on a bank, and the man who re-
ceives it from you has confidence first that
ond that the bank Is good and will pay the
check when presented. But when confidence
is gone, then before you can get the credit
for that check, 1t must be known that you
have the money there and that the bank s
solvent.
This is the condition we have been In for
the last three years and half. We want to
get away from that condition. We want
return of business confidence, and to do that
which Will raise enough money every month
In this country from protective tariff and
internal revenue to pay every obligation Of
the government anu stop going in debt. We
want policy that will encourage American
industry, enterprise energy, skill and gem
iua.
It is the business Of she American people
to look out for themselves; nobody win do
that for them. We haveaaiscovered during the
last three and a half gears that If we do
not keep cur business, OH. business viii not
keep US.
/ thank you forItHis call. congratulate
you upon the magpifceIft progress the City
of Chicago has made for the greatest achfey-
ments known to the cities of the world have
been those OF the great City OF Chicago.
