Speech to the Laboring Men.

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 a
speech. In response Mr.. Mckinley re-
ferred to the object of his visit to Alli-
ance, and said:
All of us are interested in the well
fare of our country, because in the well
fare of our country is involved the indi-
yidual welfare of every citizen. If our
great country is prosperous, then the peo-
pie are prosperous. What we all want
no matter to what political organization
we may have belonged in the past-is
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. lApplause
and cries of 'You are right Whether
our prices be high or whether they be
low. whether our wages be good o.
whether they be bad, they are all the
better by being paid in dollars worth 100
cents each Tire 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. TGreat applause.l We are the
greatest country in the world-greatest
in our freedom, greatest in our possible
ties, greatest in our opportunities, and
we are too great to taint our countrys
honor or to cast suspicion upon the credit
or obligations of our government. lap

A SILVER CATECHISM.

The Detroit Free. Press publishes the
following:
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 write
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 ID
large type and upon good paper. These
should be distributed, or be ready foI
distribution by the middle of August,
and copies should be placed in the hands
state of Michigan.
They would best subserve the purpose
if drawn up in the form of a catechism,
of which append 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
demOnetization of silver, and that this
decrease has caused a general tall IN
prices.
Q.-Is it true that the money supply
has been decreasing?
Alt is not.
Q.-What are the facts?
A.-As far as the United States is con-
crease. In 1860 the money in circula-
ton in this country was $442, 1O2,477
in 1872 it was $73S3O9. $40; by the
treasury bulletin at the beginning of the
present montn OF July IL was Sl,oO5, 49,
200.
Q.-What does this show?
Alt shows that our money supply
has increased 240 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.
Q.-How- do you prove this?
A.--By dividing the. total money in
cir. .I11 Loft aah la{ Nv fha toto
population of the country at the same
date. and thus finding the circulation per
capita.
Q.-What does such a process show?
A.-The per capita circulation of the
United States on July l, 1860, was
$14.06; on July 1. 1872, it was $1S.70;
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, 1t 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?
A.-The reports of the director of the
mint, which are acknowledged authority,
| show that from 1878 to 1894, inclusive,
| the worlds total new gold production has
been 1886, S34 900.

creasing or decreasing?
Alt is increasing with enormous ra-
| pidity.
Q.-Give the figures.
AIN 1873 the worlds gold produc-
ton was 500, 100000; in 1880 it was
$106, 500 In the year 1890 it was
| S11S,S49, ,OOO In 1894 it was $19O,626,-
100. For 1895 the exact total is not yet
| compiled. but is closely estimated at
| S199, 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-thfee 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?
An 1873 the worlds gold produc-
ton was $96, 100000; it's silver produc-
ton, $S1. 100000; total. S1IS,OOO.OOO
Last year the production of gold alone
was $199, 100000.

''The contest this year will not be

experience and new and dearly ac-

that they intend to have. They know

Our creed embraces an honest dol

since the Civil War. Then it was a

the United States; now it is struggle
to preserve the financial honor of the

it was a contest to save the Union now
it is contest to save spotless its credit.

and will unite, to rebuke the repudia ton
of our obligations and the debasement
