SOUND MONEY RAILROAD MEN.
Employees of Cleveland, Akron and Co.,

The employees of the Cleveland. Akron and Columbus Railway company and sound money clubs of Akron, O., were addressed by the Republican nominee as follows:
 "I am glad to have the assurance through your spokesman that you be- lieve that the triumph of the principles for which the Republican party now stands will be best for you, and so be- lieving that you intend to vote the Re- publican ticket. l think you all for this greeting. feel that you are not strang- CTS to me. have been riding over your lines for more than twenty years, and I know many of your employers; and do not know of any business in the country where it's employees can so definitely know the condition of the business of the country as the men who are employed by the railroads. You know it in th. shop, you know it in the ticket office, yoi know it travelling on the trains; ever, switchman, every brakeman, every con- ductor. and every engineer knows the condition of the business of the country and of the railroad by the amount of business that railroad does. He knows when the country is prosperous and when it is in state of depression, and he does not have to wait for the report of the di- rectors of the railroad to know whether there have been any dividends declared or not. He knows it from the amount of work and the amount of wages he receives.
 "Now, my fellow citizens. you are prosperous when the country is prosper ous, and the country is prosperous when it takes care of it's own people, it's own manufacturers, its own mines. and prod

They Greet the Champion of Protection to American Industry.
 The next visitors were from West Vir. gina and included pottery workers, iron workers and a club known as the Tariff Champions of Wheeling. To these con solidated delegations Maj. Mckinley | said:
 "Gentlemen: Republicans seem to be on all sides this year. Great laughter and applause: q voice: And Demo. crats.'J And many Democrats are with us.

 them aspire to better things and all have right so to aspire. The genius of our free institutions exalts ambition and most men want to lift themselves up, to elevate and improve the condition of their families. The thought in every mans mind here today is: How can better my condition? How can improve the condition of my family? The an- swer comes almost with one voice: The way to do it is to protect American in- dustry and defend American labor Gre mendous cheering.) Let us do our own manufacturing here in the United States. Let us make our own iron and steel, our own pottery, our own glass-and when we do that, then we will employ every idle man in the United States and bring hope and happiness to every American home. believe in that policy of pro- tection to home industries and to the en- ergies of American people. l do not believe anything is cheap to the Amer ican people that imposes idleness upon single American citizen. What you want is W ork and wages. Do you believe free trade will aid you? Do you believe protective tariffs will do 1t? ('Yes, yes, every time.") Then vote that way. Loud yells and cries of You bet we wiIl."D
 "PrOtection never closed an American factory; protection never shut an Amer ican mine; protection never put Amer. ican labor out on the streets. l wish l could say as much for partial free trade, such as we have experienced in the last three and half years.

We believe neither in free trade nor in free silver. The one debases the labor, and the. other the currency of the country, and more than that, you gentle tenance of law and order.

1000 COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.
Three Great States Send Their Travelling
 Salesmen.

Salesmen.
 The second body of visitors was made up of commercial travellers from New York, Ohio and Indiana, and to their tumultuous greeting Maj. Mckinley re- spo1ded by saying:
 Nobody knows sooner than the com mercial traveller whether times are good or bad. No class of men so registers the waves of business as the men who stand before me here today. You are interest ed in your occupations and in having prosperity extend from one end of the country to the other. You are interested in having all of our workshops running; all our mines in operation, and all our worklngmen constantly and profitably employed. You are, therefore, this year possibly more than ever before interested in the triumph of the political principles which envelop the well-being and high. est prosperity of the American people.
 You know better than anybody else that you cannot sell your goods to your customers unless your customers can sell goods to the people. You know that the people cannot buy unless they have some. thing to do at which they can earn mon. ey, that they may buy them. That's what is the matter with the country to- day. That's the diagnosis of our c0ndi. ton at this hour. Business has been stopped; the wheels of industry are not running: idle men are on the streets Many of the manufacturing establish. ments are closed and you are not doing as well as you were in 1892.

Congressman Boutelle Speaks for the
 State of Blaine and Reed,
 One of the distinguished visitors of the day was Congressman Bontelle of Maine who was introduced to one of the visit ing delegations by Mir. Mckinley. with such happy words that he could not es- cape participating in the speech-makinp- which Gov. Mckinley was expected tS alone perform. At the close of one of the addresses Mir. Mckinley, turning to MT. Boutelle. who stood near him. said.
 We have present with us Gen. Bou. telle of Maine. and while the delegation is marching up the hill (another dslega- ton was then approaching l am sure you will be glad to hear n voice from the state of Blaine that has just given us nearly 5O,0OO majority" Applause
 Mir. Boutelle said
 "The governor has taken a slight ad- vantage over me in bringing me before you, but desire to say to you that there is no Republican in the state of Maine who would not deem it an honor and a privilege to stand here, at the residence of William Mckinley of Ohio and thank you for the splendid manifestations of loyalty which you have exhibited here. We have got through with our little piece of work in Maine; we have set the mark, 50,OOO high, for the other states of the American Union to go by. We want to sec Ohio more than double it. We want to see Indiana come up with 6O,0OO, and we are going to see, my friends, on the 3d day of November a de- feat of free trade, free silver, and repu- diatiOn more disastrous than has ever before .overfaken demagogism in this country, and now, gentlemen, I propose three hearty cheers for the next Presi- dent of the United States" (They were given with vim.)

"The best thing I can wish fof each and everyone of you is return to the splendid prosperity of four years ago. The money of the country, happily, is all right; the Republican party made it all right, and Grover Cleveland's administra- ton has kept it good. We propose to continue that good. sound, unguestioned, uhdepreciating money with which to do the business of this great country. Great cheeringJ
 A Glance Into History.
 What nation we are! Why, in 1860, when Abraham Lincoln of blessed memory, the immortal hero of emancipa. ton and the war, when he took control of this government our entire wealth was S1G,OO00 100000. When Benjamin Harri- son went out it was S63 ,O0O, 900 00O, and more than two-thirds of the great war debt had been wiped out. Since that time we have been doing little else but make debts for the government and debts for the people. l am greatly honored by this call.

VETERANS FROM MARYLAND.
Major McKinley Delivers to Them ~
 Unusually Earnest Address.

Major Mckinley Delivers to Them an
 Unusually Earnest Address.
 The Maryland G. A. R. club, one of the delegations of the day, was hOnored with one of the most, earnest addresses Maj. Mckinley has yet delivered. In response to Gen. Theodore E Lang, who spoke for the Maryland visitors, Maj. Mckinley said:
 "The spectacle which we witness in Canton today is most encouraging and inspiring. There are delegations bere from New York. Psnnsylvanio, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and Mary land. Great applause and cries of "Iowa.") Yes, Iowa and Kentucky, and on yesterday we had delegations from the Old Dominion state of Virginia and from the state of Tennessee. All are welcome to my home and city, for all of them are moved by n common purpose, and that purpose is to save the country from repudiation and dishonor.
 '"This visit on the part of my fellow citizens from Maryland indicates their concern at the present condition of the country, and manifests belief on their part that the sooner it comes to an end the more gratifying it will be. It is an unmistakable expression of your belief that the change most to be desired can only be secured through q Republican triumph, and that you are zealous Gnd alert to do your full part in bringing about the result This campaign has many peculiar phases. It involves the most vital interests to country. It is unique in American politics. One of the old and most honored political parties of this country is very much divided this year. A part of it has united with the other parties, and in some of the states m o hau n fusion repudiated, so that the condition is not altogether and everywhere bar- moniOus. The old leaders of the Demo- cratic party, those who carried it's bur dens and fought its battles in the past, framed in the city of Indianapolis a few weeks ago an indictment against their old party associates who met at Chicago, which in severity has been unequaled They pronounced the declarations If the Chicago convention, which was Demo cratic in name, as m attack upon in- dividual freedom, right of private con tract, the independence of the judiciary and authority of the President to en- force the laws of the United States.
 Chicago Convention Arraigned.
 "They charged the Chicago convention with a reckless attempt to increase the price of silver by legislation to the de- threatened unlimited issues of paper money by the government. They pro- claim in view of these and other grave departures from Democratic principles that they cannot support the candidate of that convention, nor be bound by it's acts. They declare that the Democratic party has survived many defeats. but could never survive victory won in be- half of the policy proclaimed in it's rame at Chicago. On the money question they
The Coconino weekly sun., 1896-10-22

affirm that the experience of mankind has shown that by reason of their ratur- al qualities gold is the necessary u,pey Of the large affairs of commerce and busi. ness. while silver is conveniently adapt. ca to minor transactions; and the most beneficial use of both can be insured only by the adoption of the former as the standard of monetary measure and ,he maintenance of silver at a parity with gold oy its limited coinage under suitable safeguards of law. Thus the largest DOS. sible employment of both metals is gained with value universally accepted throughout the world, which constitutes the only practical bimetallic currency assuring the most stable standar rd end especially the best and safest money for all who earn their livelihood by labor or the produce of husbandry. They cannot suffer when paid in the best money known to man, but are the peculiar and most defenseless victims of a debased and fluctuating currency, which offers continual profits to the money changer at their cost.
 What have read, my fellow citizens. IS not the statement of the Republican convention, but of a Democratic con. vention. the most representative which probably ever assembled in the country. Senators and representatives in public life today, leaders of the Democratic party in their respective states, thus de. nounce the Democratic convention held in the city of Chicago. They sneak words of truth and soberness. You can. not debase the currency of the, United States without degrading the public hon. or They speak the voice of patriotism. They repudiate their own party conyen. tion and characterize its resolutions ms unsonnd, injudicious, unpatriotic, and revolutionary. They are to be com. mended by every lover of his country everywhere for their courageous stand and for their bold denunciaton of doc. trines which, although adopted by con. vention representing a large body of Democrats, are menace to the peace and tranquility, the credit and the cur. rency of the country.
 The Crisis is BraveIy Met.
 "It falls to the Republican party this year, as in many other years of the past. to carry the standard of national honor. and it shall never be lowered in it's hands. It meets the crisis with the old. time courage, and if it is given power the whole world will know that it will never permit the currency of the country to be debased or its financial honor stained. Our adversaries talk fluently about the money of the fathers" I want to say for the fathers that their money was always good and honest. They insist that gold and silver alike constitute the money of the constitution and the currency established by the early

MINERS OF ANTHRACITE COAL.

Three Hundred workingmen from the
 Pennsylvanis Coal District.
 The little reviewing stand was brought into acquisition at this point when the crowd had become so dense that the porch could no longer be used, and Mai. Mckinley faced some 300 miners from the anthracite district of Pennsylvania, who were introduced by Prof. w. r. Gregory. Maj. Mckinley responded as
 "You have all found in your own lives that if you get anything that is val uable you have to work for it. You nave found Tn your own experience that there IS no way to earn living or ac- cumulate property except by labor and toil, energy and industry, and by frugal savings, and knowing that all that you are interested in at this moment is how you can best use what you haye-your labor, your farms, your products; in n word, all you want is an opportunity to work, and when that opportunity is furnished you you will perform the la Dor, and there are not enough hints III the United States or in the world to give employment to the miners of Penn. sylvania. Therefore, my fellow citizens, you must not be looking to the hints for the money which you need. You must look to the mines. to the mills and the factories. Great applause.) You do not mine coal unless somebody wants to use that coal, and the more users of coal there are, the more miners there will be and the better will be their em- ployment and their wages. (Cries of Right, right.)
 Now, that is the whole philosophy of this business. (Applause.) When you have an opportunity to work you want to be paid in dollars that are as good as any in the world; when you have given your good, hard blows in the mines or in the factories, given the mine. owner or the factory-owner good hon. est days work, you want to be paid in good, honest dollars that will not de. preciate over night. (Tremendous cheer ing.) So what the country wants is work and the continuance of the good money we have, and the prevalence of law and order. We want peace and tranquility in this country; we want to preserve the honor of the government of the United States, and we will re- nounce repudiation in every form. am glad to meet my fellow citizens from the state of Pennsylvania. We have in this country miners by the hundreds. I know something about them. l know that the only aim they have is an honest one, to stand by honest things, and I know how the farmers of Stark county

IRON WORKERS AT THE FRONT.
They Testify Their Feaity to Protection and PrOsperity.

No delegation of the day was more cordially welcomed than the band of iron workers from Cleveland. whose sturdy figures and frank faces were seen as soon as the commercial travellers had given place, and to them Mir. Mckinley said:
 'I welcome you to Canton and my home. I am glad to learn from your banners and your spokesman that you stand for the great purpose of the Repub- lican party and the American union, that gives to every citizen of every race and nationality equal chance and opportunity in the race of life-a Union that knows neither caste nor classes, nor creeds nor nationality, but gives equal protection to all. am glad to see from your ban ners that you are in favor of protection to American industries. So am I. I believe t is the duty of the American people to vote for that policy which will protect American industry, defend Ameri- can labor, and preserve the old scale of American wages. thank you heart. fly for this call. am always glad to meet the workingmen, and there is noth- ing in this campaign that gives me more encouragement than to have behind me the men who toil." Great cheering and cries of "Hurrah for McKinley.")

A Delegation of Three Hundred Work
 ingmen.
 Concluding his preceding address to the miners, Maj. Mckinley had to but face about to find patiently awaiting an ployed by the Otis Steel company of Cleveland. This party was introduced by Otto Grabien. and Maj. Mckinley responded briefly. saying:
 T am honored by this visit and en- couraged by it because l know that you bring to me assurances of loyalty to the great principles of the Republican party and of your untiring zeal to make these principles victorious on the 3d day of November. This audience fairly repre- sents the conditions with which the busi- ness of this country is done. The men on the other side of me mine coal. The men on this side use coal in their mills, and because you so use it the others mine it. If you created no demand for it there would be no demand for the miner.
 ''I use this illustration to show you how dependent we are upon each other; how every thread of business is intcrwoven with every other thread of business, and when you snap one thread you injure all. When the employer does not find it prof itable to manufacture he ceases to do so, and when he does not manufacture you do not have employment. When he finds it profitable to manufacture you have steady employment at fair wages. Now, what we want to do in this country is to favor whatever policy will encourage American industry and promote Ameri- can manufactures. That which will build more factories and give more em- pl0yment to workingmen should be the true, genuine and universally accepted American policy.
 "I am one of those who believe that we should look after our own people be. fore we look after the people of other lands, who owe no allegiapce.to the gov ernment of the United States. l believe the right policy is the one which pro. tects the American workshop by putting a tariff upon the products of the foreign workshop. My fellow citizens, I do not believe that we ought to have O tariff policy that will let the products of cheap CT lands and of unpaid labor come into this country and destroy our manufac- tories and impoverish and degrade our labor. The protective policy is my pol icy. It is the doctrine l have always believed in. and l make no apology to anybody anywhere for holding that view, and if on the Sd day of November the American people in their sovereign ca pacity shall decree that a protective pol icy shall he restored and sound money continue, hope and fervently pray that we will enter upon an era of prosperity that will give happiness and comfort to every American home. Tremendous cheering and cries of "Hurrnh for Me kinley.O l thank you for this call and

Not word has been received from

they reached Mexican territory. So
carefully We're the plans laid by ex-

to the exact destination of the party,
