LEHIGH TALLEY PIEGRIMs.
Major Mckinley States Some Plain Facts
 to His Visitors.

Canton, O., Oct. 13-A delegation of about 300 voters from the Lehigh Valley district of Pennsylvania arrived here at 10 o'clock this morning to pay their respects to Major Mckinley. Owing to the continued indictment weather the party was escorted to the Canton citi- zens' reception committee to the Taber- nacle. Ex- Congressman Charles N. Brumm of Pottsville, Pa, acted as spokesman or the visitors. In his re- marks to the candidate he predicted that Pennsylvania would send a solid republican delegation to the next con- gress, besides giving Mckinley ma- jority of three quarters of a million votes.
 Tn the course of his address Major Mckinley said: We are constantly competing with one another in every section of our common country for promotion of the highest interests of our respective populations. We believe in free trade in the United States in the same sense that we believe in the equal and reciprocal obligations which belong to every family. (Applause)
 
 with one another with freedom and without restraint and engage in free and unresentful rivalry in all the oc- equations, employments and industries of our people. The triumph of one sec ton is the triumph of the other, all working together for the general good When we have free trade with other countries 1t should be in those products which we cannot produce ourselves and must have and in exchange for which those countries will make the products that we make and grow and we should put a duty upon those foreign products that compete with American products sufficient not only to supply enough revenue for the uses of the government, but sufficient to protect American peo- pie in their own occupations against the products of the cheaper and under paid labor of the world?
 That seems to be the dictate of an enlightened patriotism, and it IS cer- tainly one of the great fundamental doctrines of the republican party And should it not be so? We are one na- ton; we have one flag: we have a com mon destiny. The other nations of the world have their separate and inde- pendent political organizations for the purpose of working out for themselves the highest destiny possible They owe no allegiance to this government; they contribute nothing to your support"
 Whatever will put money into the treasury and stop debts and deficiencies and bonds, I take 1t everybody would say would be a wise and patriotic thing. Whatever policy will encourage our own people to dig coal, to manu- fracture products, to employ labor, is the policy that ought to commend it. self to every patriotic citizen. And if a tariff will do those things, the tariff. surely is what, by our votes three weeks from to-day, we ought to sus- tain" (Applause.)
 Major Mckinley quoted in support of his views uterances of the late Presi- dent Buchanan and the late Samuel J. Randall He then said:
 Tt is a very comforting thing to any body who has money, much or little, to feel that all the time that its value cannot be affected by hard times or de- preciated in his hands by panic, but that 1t rests all the while upon solid and unchangeable value recognized the world over. Money does not depend upon what we call it-it depends upon it's value. (Great applause.) We have in this country now the best money known to the civilized countries of the world. It is to the interest of every man, 1t is to the interest of every citi- zen, no matter what may be his occu- patton, to maintain that money at it's present standard" (Applause)
 Sandusky county, Ohio, sent 1000 of it's inhabitants to call on Major McKin- ley this afternoon.
