country to accent such dollars and such
coinage would not be of any possible value
to the mine owners. But this is not what
they propose. They insist, and the Chi
cage platform declares that they shall
have the right to bring all the bullion Of
all the world, of all now coined ana I'M
coined in other countries, of all now mined,
and Of all the vast stores yet undiscovered
in the mountains, to our mints ana have
II coined at our expense and returned to
them, with a law attached compelling the
people of this country to accept all dollars
thus coined as full legal tender for all
debts, public and private, for all prod
ucts sold, for all services rendered, for
all labor done, at 100 cents on the dollar.
The man Of the factory, the mill and the
shop cannot compel the mine owner to
accent his labor at double price Why
should the mine owner be given the right
to compel the wage-earners and producers
of the country to accept their silver prod
ucts at double its market value?"
Busy Day for the Candidate.
There was another big meeting at
right in the tent. The speakers were
Gov. Hastings, of Pennsylvania, and
Representative McCleary, of Minnesota.
10th speakers were enthusiastically re-
ceived.
Mai. Mckinley had an arduous day.
In addition to the task of meeting and
talking briefly with hundreds of peo-
pie, he has had to shake hands with
thousands. make many speeches, en-
terrain u dozen guests at dinner and
listen to the music of 80 brass bands.
The first delegation called at lo:3o a. m.
1t came from Unity township, Colum-
hiana county. j. j. Britain, of East
Palestine, was the spokesman, and Mr..

Howard Ferris, of Cincinnati, who made
felicitous speech. Judge q. L. Marvin,
of Akron, also made short speech.
The next delegation was also from Co
lumbiana county. When Maj. McKin-

had subsidized he talked for short time
on the political issues. When Maj. Nc
Kinley finished speaking he introduced
Maj. w. w. Peabody, of Cincinnati, vice
president of the B. & o. Southwestern
railroad, who made one Of the most
stirring speeches of the day.
AT 1890 the Americas club of Pitts
burgh, escorting Gen. Hastings,
marched up to the Mckinley residence.
Maj. Mckinley came out on the stand
which had been erected just inside the
fence. w. I. Muslin, president of the
Americas club, introduced Gov. Hast
ngs, who made a short speech eulogiz-
ing the major. In response to the greet
ing Maj. Mckinley spoke briefly. He
had hardly finished before the Building
end Trades council of Columbus came
up the street behind their band. AS
soon as the Americas club moved away
from the vicinity of the stand the Co
'umbus delegation took it's place. John
r. Marion was spokesman. Maj. Nc
Kinley again said few words. He
said, among other things:
Questions of Supreme Moment.
"Your spokesman has well said that there
are two questions Of supreme moment to
the American people-the one is work. and
the other pay. Our trouble to-day in this
country is that we have not got enough
work, and all of US, no matter to what
political party we have belonged in the
past, are going to vote for the policy which
will give to the American workingmar
more work. We have lost good deal OF
work in the last four years. and we want
back, we want to keep 1t, and when we
get it back we propose that we shall be
paid in the best dollars known to the
commercial world. We do not propose tc
vote in favor of q money the value OF
which you have got to ascertain every
umns in the newspapers. We have had
no such money as that in the past, and
we do not propose to enter upon such
an experiment Just now.
1--WE have had since 1879, gold, silver and
paper-every dollar the equal of the best,
and the best equal to the best in the world
and we propose to keep all of our money
that way. And we propose another thing
| my fellow citiZenS, no matter what may
be our vocations in life, we propose t.
Indignantly repel the idea Of classes in tn,
United States. Every man in this countr,
is as good as any other man. Every MAJ
In this country has an equal opportunit!
and equal privilege. And. my fellow-cit
liens, the man or the party that would
seek to array labor against capital o.
CAPITAL against labor, is an enemy o.
both.
Before this delegation left Gov
Bushnell was escorted to the stand ant
he was introduced and made shor
speech. Several delegations called n
the close of the afternoon meeting. I
was quite dark when the Ellsins cadets
and large delegation from Salem, o.
called. Maj. Mckinley was pretty tired
and had gone to his room to take
short nap. The bands played six O.
eight marches and he gave up the no
ton Of slumber and made two NOR,
speeches. Maj Mckinley entertained

tings, Gov. Bushnell, Congressman Nc
Cleary and dozen Canton friends a
