WELCOMES DEMOCRATS.
MIR. Mckinley, after few general words
OF welcome, especially addressed to those
who had heretofore been associated with
different party, said This Is year when
party lines have almost disappeared and
when men interested in the welfare OF a
common country, In the maintenance of its

for them.

Kirby. wish we we're back to the better
times between 1880 and 1892, but the only
way to get back to those good times is 10

them and fight II out on that line. as my
friend has suggested. We must have in the
United States an American policy, policy
that will take care of our own, that Will
defend our own. (Applause) II we do not
do that nobody will do 1t for us. and for
tunately In this country we have the power

farmer always gets better prices when a lot
of buyers hunting him up, rather than
when the farmers are hunting up buyers
(applause and cries of That's right'D; and
/ have discovered too that the workingman
always gets better wages when his employer
is hunting him than when he is hunting his

signifies that what the farmer wants Is an

wheat and who do not produce any of the
food products, and the larger that army Is
the better tho farmer is off Cries of
That's right too') That army of con
sumeIs has been reduced, not in numbers,
in the last few years. We have just as
many people as We have ever had, but it has
been reduced in its capacity to purchase
what it needs That is what the trouble
is in this country today. We are not earn
ing as much money as we used to earn. We
have not as much to spend because we have
been unable to earn as much What we
want to do is to put all the machinery in
this country at work. CHEERS and cries of
"You are right,O We want every mine in
the country opened up. We tired of
having the pick silent in the mine, and we
are tired of having the loom silent in the
mills. When the pick is silent in the mine
and the loom silent in the mills the work
ingmen Of the United States idle, and
when the workingmen of the United States
are idle the farmer is deprived of his best
consumers tremendous cheering ana cries
OF "Hurrah for MCKinley.')

to be paid in a good, full, round dollar
applause and cries of Good, good'D an un-
corrupted and undeprecated and never-to-
be-depreciated dollar. Great applause ami
cries of "Hurrah for McKinley.") That is
what the republican party stands for this
year Among many other good things IT
stands for law and order; 1t stands for the
honor of the government; 1t stands for the
honest payment of public debts 1t stands
for public honor and public honesty.
Il thank you for this call and | know

This Is a year when those who stand op-
posed to MS indulge in glttcring promises,
They offer remedy which they say will
cure all our ills We might accept their
services and take their remedies If we had
not been doctored by them before, Great
laughter and applause) Free trade and free
silver are the false friends of labor. (Ap-
plause) They lure with promises of cheap
commodities and cheap money. The partial
trial OF free trade has proved that the cheap
