Major Mckinley said:
MOST WORK AND BEST WAGES.
NV felIow-citizens: 1t gives me great
pleasure to receive at my home my fel-
low-citizens of the commonwealth Of
Pennsylvania and the state of Ohio. and
/ could not but be struck with the SINH
iarfty of the messages which have come
from your respective spokesman as to
the condition of the people in these two
great states. How similar they are:
IT is the cry Of distress going UP from
every part OF our common country.
What men want rs business activity.
What laboring men want is work. We
have discovered in the last three years
and a hat that we cannot increase the
output Of the mines or wages Of the
miner by decreasing manufacturing in
the United States. We have discovered
that less American coal is required II
we do any part of our work in Europe
rather than in the United States. / ia
vor that policy which will give the larg
est development to every American in
tereet; that give the widest opportunity
to every American citizen; that gives
the most work and best wages to every
American IA borer and secures to our
people the highest possible prosperity
in all their occupations.
THE TWO GREAT ISSUES.
II cannot but appreciate most high
ly this visit, made at such inconveni-
ence and 50 great a distance. from my
home. The message which you bring
me OF your regard and good will, will
always remember and cherish. 1t is
with peculiar pleasure that / welcome
that welcome this club from the cap
ital city OF the great commonwealth Of
Pennsylvania. Coming as you do from
city of great rolling mills and other
manufactures. having a production
value of more than 1900. 600 annually,
when your establishments are running
full time, and from one of the greatest
manufacturing states OF the country,
i need hardly be told of the deep and
profound interest which you have in
the rightful settlement of the issues
presented in this campaign. Both of
the leading issues are of sufficient i'm
portance 10 your industrial life and
prosperity to command your unremit-
ting labor and effort. Nor need 1 re-
mind you that the Issue which involves
the restoration of our protective policy,
unhappily and unwarrantedly aban-
doned IN the presidential campaign four
years ago. is to be settled this year, as
well as that other issue of continuing a
safe monetary system. resting on the
best money OF the world and guarantee
ing to our people the use of al forms OF
money now in circulation 10 be OF
equal value and purchasing powers.
THE MISTAKE OF 80.
THE mistake Of 1892 needs no elabor-
alton. II has been felt and realized in
every section OF our common country,
