MONDAY MEETING.
First One Held in SOund-Money
LenEnc H~eadqunrters.

The first of the series Of noon SOUND
money meetings, to be neld in the rooms
of the Citizens Sound-money League at
Is and 20 North Meridian street every week
day this month, was held yesterday. r. o.
Hawkins, Jesse Overstreet and z. B. Mar
tindale were the speakers. The room was
well filled and proved that the business
people of the city are working hard for
the cause of honest money. Most of those
present were men from stores and offices
nearby. A quartet furnished music. I. s..
Gordon presided and made a few remarks
before introducing the first speaker-R. O..

twenty-five minutes. He said he would
agree with Bryan and his followers that
this country is now in the grasp of plu-
tocratS, but he said those plutocrats are
the owners of the silver mines. who nave
blocked legislation for several years past.
He recalled how, in the United States SEN
ate for years, there has not been an i'm
portant bill passed by the House that did
not have a silver rider tackled on in the
Senate by the tools and representatives of
the silver interests. He showed that no
other class Of people have ever taken this
means of forcing legislation for their own
benefit. He laid particular stress upon the
action of the silver Senators last winter in
refusing to allow a bill to be passed for
the relief of the treasury unless it also
provided for free coinage of silver. The
Republican House had passed a revenue
and said it was all right, but that the
treasury could not have the revenue it
would raise unless the treasury would also
receive their silver and give them coined
Mr.. Overstreet discussed the money ques-
ton. He said the thing the people really
and will be worth a dollar any place in the
world.

TO TIN-PLATE WORKERS.
Their Industry Has Come to Stay. Mai,
Mckinley Says.


When the employees of the Star Tin-plate
Company and of the McIntosh-Hemphill
Manufacturing Company had assembled on
the lawn Mr.. Mckinley said:
My Fellow-citizens-It is an inspiration
to look into your earnest faces to-day and
to feel that the great Republican cause has
tie sympathy of your hearts and will have
your active and unremitting support until
the polls close on the Sd day of November.
L am glad to welcome to my home the en-
ployes of the MISUNDERSTANDING Manufac-
turing Company and of the Star Tin~plate
Company, of the city of Pittsburg. / have
met many, many thousands of people
around this porch in the last three months.
but l assure you that none have been more
welcome or greeted with warmer cordiality
than I greet you.
Il have been pleased to note that the
men employed in the tin-plate Industries of
the United States understand, and under
stand it from a sad experience, that their
industry and its success and continued
prosperity depend upon a wise, judicious,
American protective policy. Whatever re-
duction you may have had in your wages.
whatever reduction in the days of employ,
ment you may have had. YOU can distipctiv

and / say to you ard to everybody else
that it has come to stay. We mean to
manufacture tin plate for the whole of the
American consumption, and Pennsylvania
alone has capacity at this very moment
If all its factories were at work on full
time, TO produce one third of all the tin
plate that is consumed in the United
States. Now. my feIiow-citizens. what we

And We know too that when we put the
men OF this country to work at American
wages we are furnishing TO the farmers
of the United States the best and most
market they ever had. Now, we
not only have this tin plate industry in
the United States to stay, but we have
good money in the United States. and we

TRIED TO START A RIOT.
e P~OpOcrats Attempt to Disturb
the Meeting.

After the Bourke Cochran meeting at
Tomlinson Hall last night for a. few mo-
ments it looked as though a riot might be
started. Several indiscreet Popocrats be-
gan shouting for Bryan before half of the
crowd had left the hall. Instantly they
were surrounded by an excited throng of
men who were determined to drown the
Bryan cheers. The Bryanites grew angry
and frantically waved their arms, defying
men who were shouting. Put them out!'
The tumult continued down into the street,
and a half dozen police officers found it
impossible to diSCerSe the shouting crowd
which still surrounded the silverites. But
several motor cars dashed into the crowd
and accomplished what the police could
rot. and in the wild scramble the ex-
cited men made to escape being run down,
