MCKINLEY STRUCK TIE WRONG NOTE.
Gov. Mckinley is still talking abou,

Issue i'll the campaign in which the
people are interested and therefore ne
declares that what they want is tu
get back to the period of 1897 when
the country was ENJOYING the highest
prosperity This statement caused
the Philadelphia Times to use the
following language
This was the happy period when
the government was buying 4,5OO, 900
ounces Of silver bullion a month and
piling it up in the Treasury, and at
the same time paying out gold at ii
rate that presently resulted in an over
whelming panic.
'Mckinley may not mean that he
wonld like To restore the Sherman act, !,
but that is what some of the silve,
organs in the West are now advan-
cl.g, as not Incompatible with their
Interpretation uf the St. Louis plat
form, and if the friends of sound mon.
ey want to be sure of their ground. it
would be we'll to get the candidate
aroused to some sense of the impor-
