Associated Press Special Wire

CANTON, o., Oct. 12-Two delegations
train of eleven coaches which reached
here shortly before o'clock. The party
came from Roscoe and Monongahela
Valley, Pa. They were organized into
marching clubs, mostly uniformed. Ow-
ing to rain the delegation was taken to
the tabernacle, where Mckinley re-
sponded to an Introductory address by
George V. Lawrence, ex-member Of
congress and an octogenarian.
In the course Of his remarks Mr. Nc
Kinley said:
Western Pennsylvania is filled with
many proud and historic memories. 1t
registers the birthplace of that splendid
parliamentariam and gifted statesman,
James G. Blaine. 1t is very gratifying
to me to receive from the hands of the
Fayette club this beautiful cane made
out of wood from Mr.. Blaines home,
in which he was born at Brownsville,
and I assure you that it will always be
preserved and kept in my family as a
precious souvenir. You are fortunate,
too, in having at one time among the cit
izens of Fayette county that illustrious
financier. Albert Gallatin, who became
the first secretary of the trea sury under
Thomas Jefferson in 1901, and who filled
that great Office IL years and is known
In the history of our country as one of
the greatest secretaries we ever had,
ranking with Alexander Hamilton.
I do not know of anything that will
preserve the credit and honor of the gov
ernment better than protection, for it is
a proud fact in American history that
in all the years, at least for the most
part, under which we have had protec-
tive tariff, we have always had ample
revenues to defray the expenses Of the
government. Now that policy wisely
and judiciously applied in public law is
one Of the first and most important acts
for the people to perform. They cannot
perform it, however. without Republi-
can congress and Republican presi-
dent. The only power that can elect a
Republican congress lies in the Ameri-
can people, and the only power that can
make protective tariff resides in the
American people. By your ballots three
weeks from tomorrow you, in conjunc-
ton with your fellow citizens in every
part of the country. will determine
whether or not that policy shall prevail
for the next four years.
My fellow citizens, l am in favor Of
that policy for another reason-because
while it provides adequate revenue for
the government, it encourages the indus
tries and occupations of the American
people
There is a notion in some quarters that
we need to bring about prosperity with
free silver. I do not believe it would be
any freer under free coinage to you than
it is now. There would be just one way
for the workingman to get it and that
would be to earn it. There would be Just
one way for the farmer to get it, and
that would be to sell his products. There
would be just one way for the merchant
to get it-a good old-fashioned way
which would be to sell his goods over his
counter and give something for the mon-
ey That is the only way you could get
1t If we coined all the silver Of the world.
Besides. did it ever occur to you that
money does not make work Work
makes money. There is just as much
money in this country today as there
was from 1870 to 1890, and more. It Is
work that puts money into circulation.
Money does not want to be idle any more
than labor wants to be idle. The man
who has money wants that money to be
earning something and the only reason
he does not put it out now is bee otuse
he is afraid he will never get it back
or will get it back in a deprecated cur
rency. And when he does not put it out
and it does not circulate. then there is
no work. When you have idle men and
idle money, distress and suffering fol-
low.
Now. I do not know what you think
| about 1t, but think you cannot have
money too good The money that will
buy the most is the money you want.
! and what you want now is an opportun-
ity to earn it. You cannot earn it
through the mints, but through the mills,
mines, factories and by honest toll. We
can only do the best we know how in
this world! We can only follow the
path as God gives us the ligth,
