pose Of his trip was especially to secur,
one OF more specimens of the white

He got seventeen fine specimens Of that
animal, the head Of one Of the largest
moose ever known, the hide Of grizzly
bear that weighed when killed 1900
pounds.
One Of the scientific results of this trip
was to prove the theory that there are
more varieties Of bear on this continent
than have been heretofore noted.
He tells an interesting story Of his
search.
"The Rocky mountain Sheep" he said,
sis in every external particular, except
one, quite similar to Colorado mountain
sheep. The difference is in the color.
Your familiar mountain sheep here are
gray, while the Alaskan variety are pure
white, 90 that in winter they cannot be
distinguished from the snow over which
they move. They are abundant in the
mountains Of Alaska and they may be

Speech to the Laboring Mon.

At the railway station, in Canton, on
July 22d, as Mr.. Mckinley was about
to take the train for Cleveland, an as
semblage of workingmen called for q
speech. In response Mr.. Mckinley re-
ferred to the object Of his visit to ALI
ance, and said:
Ali of us are interested In the well
fare of our country, because in the well
fare. of our country is involved the indi-
vidual welfare of every citizen. If our
great country is prosperous, then the peo-
mo matter to what political organization
we may have belonged in the past-is q
return to the good times of years ago.
We want good prices and good wages,
and when we have them we want them
to be paid in good money. Applause
and cries of "You are right Whether
our prices be high or whether they be
low, whether our wages be good or
whether they be bad, they are all the
better by being paid in dollars worth 100
cents each. Tremendous cheering.] If
we have good wages they are better by
being paid in gold dollars. If we have
poor wages, they are made poorer by be-
being paid in gold dollars. If we have
low citizens, what we want more than
anything else is to keep our money equal
to that of the most enlightened nations
of the earth and maintain the credit and
honor of the government of the United
States. [Great applause.l We are the

we are too great to faint our country's

A SILVER CATECHISM.

The Detroit Free Press publishes the
In my judgment an association of men
eminent in business and otherwise
should be formed in this city without
delay, whose duty it should be to writs
or procure to be written, a large number
of tracts treating solely the question OF
sound money, to contain not more than
1000 words each. and to be printed in
large type and upon good paper. These
should be distributed, or be ready for
distribution by the middle of August
and copies should be placed in the hands
OF every wage-earner and farmer IN the
state of Michigan.
They would best subserve the purpose
if drawn up in the form Of catechism,
of which l append a specimen:
Q.-What is the fundamental conten-
ton of the free-coinage advocates?
A.-That the amount of money in cir
culation has been decreasing since the
characterization of silver, and that this
prices.
OILS it true that the money supply
has been decreasing?
Att is not.
Q.-What are the facts?
A.-As far as the United States is con-
crease. In 1860 the money in circula.
in 1872 it was $73S, 3O9, 549; by the
treasury bulletin at the beginning of the
present month of July it was 81 500, 1926.
Q.-What does this show?
Alt shows that our money supply
has increased 24O per cent. as compared
with 1860, and 104 per cent. as com.
pared with 1872.
Q.-Has the money supply increased
faster than the population?
Avery much faster.
GLOW do you prove this?
A.-By dividing the total money In
circulation at each date by the total
population of the country at the same
date, and thus finding the circulation per
capita
Q.-What does such process show?
A.-The per capita circulation of the
United States on July 1, 1860, was
$14.O6; on July 1, 1872, it was $3.50;
at the beginning of July in 1896 it was
$21.15.
Q.-But has not the money supply of
the world at large been decreasing?
A.-On the contrary, it has been in
creasing rapidly.
| Q.-How is this proved?
| A.-By the statistics of new gold pro-
duction.
Q.-How large has this production
| been?
| Allie reports Oh the director OF tho
| mint, which are acknowledged authority,
| show that from 1873 to 1894, inclusive,
the worlds total new gold production has
been $2,526, 1874 900.
Q.-Is this new product of gold in
creasing or decreasing?
Alt is increasing with enormous ra-
pidity.
Q.-Give the figures.
Ain 1873 the worlds gold produc-
ton was SOC, 100000; in 1880 it was
$106, 436, 800. In the year 1890 it was
Sis, ,00O In 1894 1t was $3.50, 626,.
100. For 1895 the exact total is not yet
compiled, but is closely estimated at
$199, 100000.
Q.-What does this mean?
Alt means that the amount Of gold
annually added to the worlds money
supply has more than doubled in the last
twenty-three years.
Q.-But has not the issue of silver
with full coinage privileges cut down the
total annual addition to the worlds me-
tallic money supply?
Alt has not.
Q.-Why?
Ain 1873 the worlds gold produc-
ton was 500, 100000; its silver produc-
ton, $81 100000; total, $17S,O00, 600.
Last year the production of gold alone
was S109, 100000.

age and confidence to all, for when that
is done the money now unemployed,
because Of fear for the future and lack
of confidence in investment, will quickly
appear in the channels of trade.
Our creed embraces an honest dol
lar, an untarnished national credit, ade-
quate revenues for the uses of the gov
elnment, protection to labor and indus
try, preservation of the home market,
and reciprocity which will extend our
foreign markets.
Recent events have imposed upon the
patriotic people of this country a re-
sponsibility and duty greater than any
since the Civil War. Then it was q
struggle to preserve the government Of
the United States; now it is a struggle
to preserve the financial honor of the
government of the United States. Then
it was contest to save the Union; now
it is contest to save spotless its credit.
Then section was arrayed against sec
ton; now men of all sections can unite,
and will unite, to rebuke the reputation
of our obligations and the debasement
of our currency.

WORDS OF LIVING TRUTH,
Patriotic Wisdom Culled from Mr..
McklnIey's Speeches Upon
Questions Of the Dav.

The American people hold the financial
honor OF our government as sacred as our
flag, and can be relied upon to guard it
with the same sleepless vigilance.
Not content with the Inauguration of
the ruinous policy which has brought
down the wages OF the laborer and the
offer a new. policy which will diminish
the value of the money in which wages
and prices are paid.
Our trouble is not with the character
of the money that we have, but with the
threat to debase it. We have the same
currency that we had in 1892, good
the world over, and unquestioned by any
people. Then, too, we had unexampled
credit and prosperity.
The platform adopted by the Repub-
lican National Convention has received
my careful consideration, and has INV un-
qualified approval. It is matter of
qualification to me, as l am sure it must
be to you and Republicans eyery-
where and to all our people, that the ex-
pressions of its declaration of principles
are so direct, clear and emphatic. They
are too plain and positive to leave any
chance for doubt or question as to their
purport and meaning.
The employment Of the idle money we
already have, in gainful pursuits, will
put every idle man in the country at
work, and when there is work there ia
wages, and when there are work and
wages there are consumers who consti-
tute the best market for the products Of
our soil.
The money Of the United States, and
every kind and form of it, whether of
paper, silver or gold, must be as good
as the best in the world. 1t must not
only be current at its full face value
at home, but 1t must be counted at par
In any and every commercial center Of
the globe.

'@The contest this year will not be
ton, but in the light of severe practical
experience and new and dearly ac-
quired knowledge. The great body of
our citizens know what they want, and
that they intend to have. They know
for what the Republican party stands,
and what its return to power means to
them. They realize that the Republican
party believes that our work should be
done at home, and not abroad, and ev-
erywhere proclaim their devotion to the
principles of a protective tariff, which,
while supplying adequate revenues for
the government, will restore American
production and serve the best interests
of American labor and development.
