Speech to tho Laboring Men.

At the railway station, in Canton, on
July odd. 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 ALI
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-
vidual 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 q
return to the good times of years ago.
and when we have them we want them
to be paid in good money. Applause
and cries of "You.are right Whether
our prices be high or whether they be
low. whether our wages be good or
whether they be bad, they are all the
better by being paid in dollars worth 100
cents each. Tremendous cheering.l 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. IGreat applause.l We are the

we are too great to taint our country's

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 1t should be to write
or procure to be written, u large number
of tracts treating solely the question or
sound money, to contain not more than
1000 words each. and to be printed in
large type and upon good paper. These
should be distributed, or be ready for
distribution by the middle of August,
and copies should be placed in the hands
of every wage-earner and farmer in the
state of Michigan.
They would best subserve the purpose
If drawn up in the form of catechism,
of which append a 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
decentralization of silver, and that this
decrease has caused general fall 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-
cerned there has been an enormous in
crease. In 1860 the money in circula-
in 1872 It was $7ss,8oo, $40; by the
treasury bulletin Mt the beginning of the
300.
Q-What does this show?
Att shows that our money supply
has increased 240 per cent. as compared
with 1860, and 104 per cent. rs 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
circulation at each date by the total
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, 1850, was
$14.O6; on July /, 1872, it was S1S.IO;
at the beginning of July in 1896 it was
Q.-But has not the money supply of
the world at large been decreasing?
A.-On the contrary, it 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 1873 to 1894. inclusive,
the worlds total new gold production has
been 81. 526. S34, 900. m
Q.-ls this new product Of gold in
crcasing or decreasing?
Alt is increasing with enormous ra-
pidity.
Q.-Give the figures.
Ain 1873 the worlds gold produc-
ton was $0G, 200,0O0; in 1880 it was
$1O6, 436,S 800. In the year 1890 it was
$118,S49,OOO. In 1894 it was S1SO,626,-
100. For 1895 the exact total is not yet
compiled. but is closely estimated at
$199, 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-three 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?
Ain 1873 the worlds gold produc-
ton was $06.2OO.OOO: its silver produc-
ton, $S1 100000 total, S17S.O00,OOO.
Last year the production of gold alone
was $190, 100000. ~

How tho Old Thing Works.

New York Post: A barber in this
city handed bullion dealer who hap
Mexican silver dollar, and asked him
what he would give him for it. He re-
piled that the bullion value was % cents.
and that he would take the dollar from
him ut that price, to which the barber re-
Piled: "You can have 1t. l gave my

Inc american people nOlu the financial
honor OF our government as sacred as our
flaR and can be relied upon to guard il
with the same sleepless vigilance.
Not content with the Inauguration of
the ruinous policy which has brought
down the wages of the laborer and the
price of farm products, its advocates now
offer a new policy which will diminish
the. value of the money in which wages
and prices are paid.
Our trouble is not with the character
of the money that we have, but with the
threat to debase it. We have the same
currency that we had in 1892, good
the world over, and unquestioned by any
people. Then. too. we had unexampled
credit and prosperity.
The platform adopted by the Repub-
lican National Convention has received
my careful consideration, and has my un-
qualified approval. 1t Is matter Of
be to you and Republicans every
where and to all our people, that the ex-
prcssions of its declaration of principies
are so direct, clear and emphatic. They
are too plain and positive to leave any
chance for doubt or question as to their
purport and meaning.
The employment of the idle money we
already have, in gainful pursuits, will
put every idle man in the country at
work, and when there is work there Is
wages, and when there are work and
wages there are consumers who consti-
tute the best market for the products Of
our soil.
The money of the United States, and
every kind and form of Ii, whether of
paper, silver or gold, must be as good
as the best in the world. 1t must not
only be current ut its full face value
at home, but II must be counted Mt par
in any and every commercial center Of
the globe.
What we want is sound policy, finan-

age and confidence to all, for when that
Is done the money now unemployed,
because of fear for the future and lack
of confidence in investment, will quickly
appear in the channels Of trade.
Our creed embraces an honest dol
lar, an untarnished national credit, adc-
quate revenues for the uses of the gov
eminent, protection to labor and indus
try, preservation of the home market,
and reciprocity which will extend our
foreign markets.
Recent events have imposed upon the
patriotic people of this country re-
sponsibility and a duty greater than any
since the Civil War. Then it was q
struggle to preserve the government OF
the United States; now it il a struggle
to preserve the financial honor of the
government of the United States. Then
it was a contest to save the Union; now
IL Is q contest to save spotless its credit.
Then section was arrayed against sec
ton; now men of all sections can unite,
and will unite, to rebuke the Reputation
of our obligations and the debasement
of our currency.

Complaint That Some Pharmacists Do Not
Properly Fiji Presentations.


Properly Fill Prescriptions.
Complaint has been made by some ply
sicians that druggists to whom their pre-
scriptions have been taken for compound
ing have substituted other drugs for those
called for by the prescription, either be-
cause they were "out' Of tho proper article
or because it was expensive The sim
of substitution, so called, is Of twofold in
jury, in that it places the life Of a patient
in jeopardy and, in not achieving tho re-
ssults desired, Injuries the professional rep
utation Of the physician.
One of those who have suffered by such
substitution is DR.. J. J. Sullivan Of 266
West Thirty eighth street, who related tho
following experiences ~ few days ago I
had occasion to prescribe for patient suf-
fering from typho- malarial fever a prepara-
ton known by tho name of ammonol. a
chemical combination of ammonium and
phenylacetamide and 1 wrote the follow
ing prescription:
II. Ammonol, ounce. $. Divide in
pulyeres viginti ct harum unum pulverem
cOpiat in quatuor hora.
~ had frequently prescribed ammonol
for this affection, and experience had
taught mo its precise therapeutic action.
The patient did not respond to treatment
as l had been led to expect, and doubt
sprang up In my mind whether tho medi-
elmo was what / had ordered. l mado q
careful physical examination Of one of the
powders that the druggist had given me
and found the preparation an entirely diff
ferent one from the one l had prescribed.
1t was a crude mixture of ammonia and
phenacetino, a combination tho DRUGGIST
thought would be equally as effective as
the one had prescribed. Ammonol is
high priced remedy. 1t did not afford the
druggist as large profit rs the ono he
had given, and with spirit that was be-
low contempt he was ready TO sacrifice the
life OF an unhappy patient on the altar Of
his own inhuman greed. -
Several physicians who were seen in re-
gard to the substitution practice said that
thoy knew of such things occurring and
had had their suspicious aroused more
than once by the failure of prescribed rem
edies to produce tho effect which certainly
would have resulted had the prescribed
drug been administered. They agreed,
however, that many-in fact, tho vast ma
jority--of druggists were honorable men,
who would not resort to substitution I'M
der any circumstances.
In one of the leading drug stores on
Broadway the manager said: 1T all de-
ponds upon whcro O prescription is taken.
l know Of dozens Of stores whore you get
tho articles called for or nothing. OF
course there is some substitution done
there is no doubt Of it-but the percentage
is so small that it is hardly worth speak
