ton of foreign wool, livestock and farm prod
ucts, not only taken from the farmers the
benefits of reciprocity and new outlets for
their surplus prod ucts, but they now seriously
propose 10 pay them for the lessened quantity
they can sell at lessened prices in the home
market in dollars of deprecated value and
cheat you in quality under their financial
policy, as free trade has cheated you in guam
tity. GGreat applause.l
General Grant, in his annual message to
Congress in 1870, said: "If ii means a failure
to provide necessary means to defray all the
expenses of the Government and therefore re-
pudiation OF the public debt and pensions,
then am still more opposed to such kind of
revenue REFORM" [Great cheering.l So must
all agree that if free silver is to add 1t will
undoubtedly add to agricultural, manufacture
ing and commercial distress, now so severe In
all parts of the country, then we are more than
ever opposed to it and 10 accepting the other
delusion OF false finance. [Applause and cries
of 1--WE won't do it'll
At 1 o'clock Market street was filed
with delegations as far as the eye could
reach. They were massed all the way
down the hall under the great white arch
and stretched out for a mile to the fur
thest railway station. The ninth speech
was made to 900 railroad men from Fort
Wayne, Ind, together with elegation
from Cleveland comprising employees of
the American Wire Company. of the
Harbon- Walker FiIe-brick Company, of
the Oil-well Supply Company of Pitts
bury, of the Pittsburg Nail Works, of the
Cleveland Hardware Company and the
Kiiby Company. Major Mckinley said:
I almost despair of being able to make N.Y.
self heard to this great assem- blage of my
counrymen. You come from different States,
but with single purpose, and that to satisfy
your devotion TO the principles of the great
Republican party. [App!ause.l Parties do not
make issues; issues make parties. Men who
think alike act together. This vast crowd
thinks alike, and they propose to act together
on the Sd day OF November. Tremendous ap-
plause.l We have not only the best manufac-
tories and the best railroads and the most of
them, but we have the best money in the
world. Continuous yello j
We have more gold in the United States than
any other Governments except France and
Germany; we have more silver than any other
Government except India and China. Every
dollar we have, gold or silver, is worth 100
cents wherever trade goes and in every mart
and market place of the world. Now what we
want to do is TO get back what we lost in 1892.
lGreat applause.l Are you all agreed as to
that? (Cries of "We are" and "You betn1
Nobody seems to be satisfied with what was
done in 1892. Those who helped to do it and
those who are against it are alike dissatisfied
What we want is to return to the normal
prosperity of the United States.
The next delegation numbered 1000 and
came from Venango County, Pa. A delega
tion OF 100 students from Wooston (Ohlo)
College marched up at the same time.
The candidate addressed the two delega-
tions in a few felicitous words and then
received 700 members of the Union
Veterans Patriotic League of Pitts burg
and Allegheny County. The old soldiers
brought with them score of battle
SCARED and tattered flags. Major Nc
Kinley address the veterans in patriotic
words. The Stamina Repu blican League
of Cincinnati, a fine body of young men,
were the next callers
Turning from the Cincinnati audience,
which was massed in the streets before
him. Major Mckinley received from
committee representing the mechanics
and siIve rsmiths of the Mauser Manufac-
turing Company of New York handsome
silver vase. The speech OF presentation
was made by George Dessauer.
Ma ior Mckinley responded with few
pleasant remarks. A long line of wheel
men, radiant in costumes of gray and
with brilliant pennants, came swiftly by
few moments later. There were wheel
men in large numbers from Pittsburg,
Cleveland, Buffalo, Chicago, Cincinnati
and other points. Major Mckinley ad-
dressed the wheelmen as follows:
You are very welcome to my home. Politi-
cal clubs on wheels are novel in poll tical con-
tests and are truly American. Their presence
marks new era in Campaign work, and I
