THE SECOND DELEGATION

Laughlin company of Pittsburg. They
marched up with four bands of music
and made an impressive showing on
the streets. The whole delegation

cal glee club sang a campaign song
and then Major Mckinley stepped out
on the porch. The lusty workingmen
broke into a storm of cheers. The
spokesman, c. c. Briggs, said the dele

promising Democrats. In response to
the spokesman's thoughtful address,
Major Mckinley said:

Jones-Laughlin establishment of the

pie. The meaa tub Of the government
has been very low for the last three
years and a half (cries of that's
right.'O, and the meal tub of the peo-
pie has also been very materially les
sened. (Applause) Now, what we WANT
in this country, whether we be Demo-
Gratis or Republicans, is such tariff
policy that will secure to the federal
government and protect American Ia
Dor and American workingmen from
the competition of the cheaper labor of
other lands. Great cheering and cries
of 'Hurrah for McKinley!)
There is no man in this audience,
care not what may be his nationality,
1 care not what his past party affilia-
tons. who does not know that this
country has enjoyed throughout its
history the highest and largest pros
perity when we were living under an
American protective system. Great APP

prosperity in this country as there was

that glorious state has always led on
this great doctrine of a protective tar

every other man, but l appeal to you in
the interest of your own work, in The
interest of your own wages, in the in

Not only doswe want a protective

want sound money. When labor is paid
it must insist upon being paid in dollars
