Major Mckinley responded rs follows
toMr. a. l. Richards, who spoke on be-
half OF the delegation:
Ladies and gentlemen and my fellow
citizens:-I esteem this calf from my old
constituents and my nelghbors and fell
low citizens as Very. great compliment
and honor-not to me personally, but to
the principles and policies for which the
Republican party stands this year. I
rmember when the Republicans of Cres-
ton, and Wayne county were among the
most earnest and enthusiastic OF my old
congressional district and see you have
not lost your earnestne4s and enthusi-
asm for the great doctrines of the Re-
publican party.
Wecunnot by legislation In this coun-
try make values: we cannot by any Leg
crdemain ofsilnance make something out
OF nothing. The only way to get wealth
Is by labor. and anybody that teaches
any other doctrine Is a false teacher and
nor the friend Of American citizenship
or OF our American homes (Great ap-
plause) There Is no such thing as Gre
atpg wealth by the mere breath of Con-
Eress. Congress can do a good many
things, but7lt cannot make you rich or
the country rich bysdebasinS the money
OF the country and It cannot make the
country rich by giving us dollars that
are only worth 80 cents e2ch and stamp
ing them dollars. (Great laughter and
