carloads of finely uniformed and decidedly
musical visitors crowded about the Nc
Kinley home. Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana sent delegations. Pittsburg Ital-

them in music, cheers and fine drills of
handsome uniformed clubs Women

county, Pa.
By the middle Of the afternoon Market
street, Leading TO the Mckinley home was
filled with marchers. The Cleveland First

the sidewalks cheering. When Major Nc
Kinley returned TO his home from his
drive to his registration place yesterday
morning he found Lieutenant Governor

ers Mrs. ]. Ellen Foster and daughter,

Chicago and took lunch at the Mckinley
home
Major Mckinley made brief addresses to
all of the visiting delegations. In his
speech to the visiting Italians from Pitts
burg he spoke in substance as follows:
II am indeed glad to meet my fellow
IOultlN men VI lbdlldu DlTlll anu NtSttilb
who have honored me with this visit here
today. appreciate this visit because it
means that you have an interest in COM
mon with all your fellow citizens in the
welfare of the country of your adoption,
and because you feel thatin the campaign
now upon us there is much involved in
the rightful settlement of the questions
which are presented. We are nation of
working people we recognize no caste and
will tolerate none beneath our flag. The
voice of one citizen is as potent as the
voice of another, and the united voice,
when constitutionally expressed, is the
law of the land
The issues of this campaign cannot be
overstated in their Importance. shall we
sustain law and order and uphold the tri-
bunals of justice which in all the trying
times of the past have been our greatest
safety and our pride? Men of Italian birth
and descent, shall we continue financial
policy which Is safe and sound and gives
to us money with which to do business
that is stable in value and which COM
mands respect, not only at home but in
every commercial nation of the world?
Shall we restore the industrial policy by
which this nation has become mighter
thanall the other great commercial, manu-
featuring, mining and farming nations of
the world?
"On these questions there should be no
two opinions, and | believe this year the
people Of this country of every nation-
ality, of every race and clan, loyal rs they
are to this government of their adoption,
will ini5cdiJ austdis tho au cilority Of law
and the constitution continue an honest
financial system which will share work
and wages and employment and comforts
forlabor and good markets for the farmers
in which all the people will participate.
81 am especially gratified to be assured
that our italian fellow citizens are en-
rolled this year in the ranks of the great
Republican party, and that they are en-
listed in IA patriotic effort to win a victory
for themselves, for their labor, for their
occupations and for their country"
= In the course of his address to the In
diana delegation Mr.. Mckinley said:
"If the financial plan advocated by our
allied opponents be practical and soun d,
then we don't need any tariff laws in this
country any tax laws, any custom houses
or any tax collectors anywhere; because if
you can make money out of nothing, by
the mere breath of congress, then it is
idle to i'm pose taxes upon the people to
bear the burden and expense of conduct
ing the government. If, by mere fiat,
whether it be fiat to the extent of fifty
cents or to the extent of hundred cents
If the government by mere act of con-
gress can make money, then all the work
of Washington and Jefferson, Hamilton
and Clay, and all of the tinanciers and
statesmen of this country was mere idle
ness and folly.
"But the government of the United
States cannot create something out of
nothing and the man or the party that
teaches that doctrine teaches n false doc
trine. Why2 That which costs man
nothing Is not worth much, is IL? The
point | make is this, my fellow citizens
that we must get over the idea in this
country that the government makes
money. The government gets its money
just as the citizen gets his money, by Civ
ing something for it. We do not believe
that the government should make money
by setting its printing presses and its
mints to work, but that the best thing it
can do for its revenues is to put tariff
on foreign products of every kind that
compete with American products, and
make that tariff high enough to protect
the American producer.
Not only do we want a good tariff, but
we want good money. We want that
money to be worth one hundred cents 90
the dollar and we do not want it to be
worth n penny less than one hundred
cents. We want it to be us honest as the
government itself We want it to be cur
rent everywhere In the world. We want
it respected everywhere just as our flag is
respected everywhere"
