Upon flat boats and keel boats II was
customary to build sheds, shauties or
cabins according to :helr purpose and
the wealth of the owner. The entire
hull was covered with Il cabin in the
produce boat and on top of this was a
smaller cabin for the crew. As every
man built as he pleased in those days
there were hardly two flat boats alike
on the river. Many of the boatmen
painted their cabins in gay colors,
others blazoned mottos on them New,

and an appropriate one, for so poorly

CANTON. O., July l4.-In speseh TO
the Foraker club. which visited him
Saturday, ex-GoV. William Mckinley
said:
Recent events have imposed upon the pa
triotic people Of this country a responsibility
and duty greater than that OF any since the
civil war. Then it was struggle to preserve
the government Of the United States Now it
is struggle 20 preserve the financial honor OF
the government OF the United States. Then Il
vas contest TO save the union. Now It is q
contest TO save. spotless, its credit Then sec
tiOn was arTayed against section Now men OF
all sessions csR unite, and viii unite, to rebuke
the reputation Of our obligations and the de-
basement OF our currency. In this contest pa
triotism is above party and national honor is
deaTeF than any party name, The currency
and credit Of the government are good now,
and must be kept good forever
Our trouble is not with the character Of the
money that We have, but with the threat to de-
base it We have the same currency that We
had in lss2-g6Od the world over ana unques-
toned by any people. Then, too, we had
uuexampled credit and prosperity. Our
dificulty Is to get that money in cir
teFpTiseS which furnish employment to Amer
lean labor This is impossible with the dis
trust that hangs over the country at the pres
ent time and every effort to make our dollars,
or any one Of them, worth less than 100 cents
each only serves to increase that distrust
What We want is a sound policy, financial and
industrial, which will give courage and conf
denee 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.
Gentlemen, the employment Of our idle
mOney-the idle money that we already have
IN gaintul pursuits will put every idle man in
the country at work and when there is work
there is wages, ana when there are work and
wages there are consumers who constitute the
best market for the products OF our country.
Having destroyed business and confidence
by free trade policy, it is now proposed to
make things still worse by entering upon an
era Of deprecated currency. Not content with
the Inauguration Of the ruiuOus policy which
has brought down the wages CT the laborer
and the price Of farm products, its ad-
VOcates now offer a new policy which
will diminish the value Of the money in
which wages and products are paid, Against
both Of these We stand opposed. Our creed
embraces an honest dollar, an untarnished ma
tiOnai dollar, adequate revenues for uses Of the
government, protection to labor and industry,
preservation OF the home market and reeiprocs
ity which viii extend our foreign markets.
Upon this platform we stand and submit its
declarations TO the sober and consideFate Judge
ment Of the American people.
