ingmen.
Concluding his preceding address to
the miners. Maj. Mckinley had to but
face about to find patiently awaiting an
audience of some 300 steel workers, en-
ployed by the Otis Steel company of
Cleveland. This party was introduced
by Otto Grabien, and Maj. Mckinley
responded briefly, saying:
II am honored by this visit and en-
couraged by it because know that you
great principles of the Republican party
and Of your untiring zeal to make these
principles victorious on the Sd day of
November. This audience fairly repre-
sents the conditions with which the bust
ness of this country is done. The men
on the other side of me mine coal. The
men on this side use coal in their mills,
and because you so use it the others
mine 1t. If you created no demand for
it there would be no demand for the
miner.
81 use this illustration to show you how
dependent we are upon each other; how
every thread of business is interviewer
with every other thread of business, and
when you snap one thread you injure all.
When the employer does not find it prof
liable to manufacture he ceases to do so,
and when he does not manufacture you
do not have employment. When he finds
it profitable to manufacture you have
steady employment at fair wages. Now,
what we want to do in this country is
to favor whatever policy will encourage
American industry and promote Ameri-
can manufactures. That which will
build more factories and give more en-
ployment to wOrkingmen should be the
true, genuine and universally accepted
American policy.
81 am one of those who believe that
we should look after our own people be-
fore we look after the people of other
lands, who owe no allegiance to the gov
eminent of the United States. l believe
the right policy is the one which pro-
tects the American workshop by putting
tariff upon the products of the foreign
workshop. My fellow citizens, do not
believe that we ought to have tariff
policy that will let the products of cheap
er lands and of unpaid labor come into
this country and destroy our manufac-
tories and impovcrish and degrade our
labor. The protective policy is my pol
icy. It is the doctrine l have always
believed in. and l make no apology to
anybody anywhere for holding that view
and if on the Sd day of November the
American people in their sovereign ca.
pacity shall decree that protective pol
icy shall he restored and sound money

Dannemora. y. V, Feb. 12.-Skepti-
cism pervades the group Of twenty or
more newspaper men and physicians
who are gathered here: it pervades the
prison also and the officers, while hav-
ing made. every preparation usually
made for the death Of a condemned
criminal feel the effects of the skepti-
cal atmosphere. Even Bartholomew
Shea. condemned to die before the
noon hour tomorrow. is a tritie buoyed
up by this same feeling that some
thing may intervene to save his life.
1t is not skepticism born of hope. but
rather of precedent, for Shea has said
his good byes to his friends, apparent
ly accepting the word Of all those sur
rounding him that this is the end.
The prison officers have completed ev-
cry arrangement; the witnesses are on
the ground, the warden has told Shea
that there. is no possible hope for him
and the hour of execution has been set.

pou-Wow Near Pine Ridge.

Pine Ridge, Neb., Feb. 12-The great
Pine Ridge pow-wow convened to-day.
For some months a private subscrip-
ton has been circulated soliciting aid
among the Indians to send delegates
to Washington to confer with the au-
thorities in reference to matters per-
tanning to the Pine Ridge agency. 1t
was said 1000 Indians would be pres
emf at the pow-wow, but there is no
probability that so large a number will
attend. Not 700 got in to-day. At
this season zero weather is probable
any day. The indians for this reason
will not travel much. The scene of the
meeting is Wounded Knee, twenty
miles from here.
