TO INSURANCE MEN.
Like All Others, They Are Interested
in Sound Money.

Major McKinley's speech to the Under
writer's Sound-money Club, of Cleveland,
introduced by A. r. Manning, was as fol-
lows:
MY Fellow citizens-This is a campaign
of many ana interesting phases. 1 doubt If
ever in our history had political con-
test just like the present one, one which
has drawn into it's active participation so
many men and women from every section
Of our common country. Men and women
are vying with each other in demonstrate
the Republican party stands this year, and
their desire for the triumph of those prin-
cipes. l do not know of any agency that
has been more effective in its nature or that
has furnished more and better reasons for
the maintenance of sound money and the
public honor than the insurance companies
of the United States. Some of the best
literature touching the whole money ques-
ton has emanated from the insurance COM
this magnificent stand they have taken for
the maintenance of an honest dollar, to
insure private and public confidence to the
citizens OF our country.
y our business is good only when gen.
eral business is good and your business is
quite as poor anybody elses when the
general business of the country is poor
Therefore, you are interested in that pol
icy that insures, to the whole country the
highest ana widest prosperity, and which
insures to the American Republic the great
est development. You are interested be-
cause, without commercial honesty there
can be no prosperity. You are interested
in maintaining the currency of the coun-
try and keeping the dollar worth a hundred
cents at home and abroad, good every day
OF the year and good everywhere, and you
know we can never get that confidence
back again which is SO large a part of the
credit OF the country and so essential to
our prosperity, by threatening to pay our
debts in fifty-two-Cent dollars.
Then, again, you, with your fellow-coun
trymen generally, are interested in public
law and order; you are interested in the
perpetuation of free institutions in every
branch of the federal government. We
must settle for all time that this is gov
ernment under law and regulated by law.
We must show that law is supreme over all.
And why should not law be supreme over
all? We are different from any other peo-
pie in that me make our own laws and if
we do not like them we do not have to
bfeak the or violate them, but can elect
public servants that will change them 7
thank you for this call and bid you good
