The Roanoke daily times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1895-1897, 1896-10-08

Canton, Ohio, Oct. T-Shortly after
O'Clock this morning small but enthu-
siastic delegation reached this city to
all upon Mapr Mckinley. They came in
special carattached to regular train.
The party cune from Goodale, Ind. They
were introduced by a. p. jenkins, and
Governor Mckinley responded in brief
speech, i'll tie course of which he said:
1.-The poin; want to make in the little
talk am giving to you this morning is
this, that theGovernment does not create
money, thatit cannot create money, and
that whatever money it needs you have
to collect from taxes, either by system
OF direct TAXATION or by II system of inG'
rect taxation known as II tariff; and tn;
If the Government wants to have an
gold or silver minted for it's own use it ha
to pay for tint silver and that gold just Il,
you and would have to pay for it if VT
wanted it for on, purpose.
1.-The idea that the Government can
create wealthis II mere myth. There is
nothing that can create wealth except
labor. Now the best way to get. this
money is one of the serious questions il
this campaign. Is it easier to raise
by direct taxation, by taxing the peop
in their occupations, on. their property
and on their lands, or is it not better to
raise it by putting the tax upon the
foreign products chat come into this coun-
try to seek Il market in the United
States! The latter is the nolicy and pur-
pose of the Republican party
The second delegation of the day was
joint demonstration by Ashland and
Geauga counties, Ohio, and was held in
the tabernacle, the weather out doors be-
ing cold and dismal. The Ashland county
delegation came in Il special train of eight
coaches. 1t was an enthusiastic party,
conspicuous for the many aged people.
The Geauga county party came in two
special trains and numbered about 5000
people. Before the speaking began it be-.
came apparent that the hall could not ac-
commodate those assembled and these APP
proaching, and it was decided to address
Ashland county and the first train load
from Geauga. Next n speech was deliv-
cred TO the second crowd from Geauga
and when that was concluded large
crowd from Parkersburg, w. Va, was
given possession of the hall. Major Nc
Kinley, in his speech to the Geauga coun-
ty visitors, referred to the Republican
national convention of 1860 and told how
the votes of the Ohio delegates nominated
Lincoln.
I'VE all take just pride in the Repub-
lican party. Glorious old party-no other
has such matchless history; no other
has achieved such mighty triumphs; no
other has done so much for all the races
of man rs the grand old party to which
we belong. With the aid of hundreds of
thousands of Democrats, it saved the
Union, it enthroned liberty, it put in the
constitution of the United States, where
it had never been before, civil and politi-
cal equality to every citizen everywhere.
1t made the Union stronger than il ever
had been before, and it preserved to us
and our posterity one flag, and only one
the starry banner of the free. 1t made
the old war greenbnck that Travelled with
the soldier on his marches rs good rs gold
and redeemable in gold 1t resumed
specie payments and has preserved the
national honor unsullied to this hour,
and given to this nation credit the like
of which it never had before. Will that
party now take step backward? Will
the old PARTY lower it's Hnp2'i
