The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1896-10-31

This is not a partisan campaign, it rises
above that 1t is a campaign, as 1 view 1t,
for the United States, its honor, its credit,
its currency, its welfare, and welcome the
assistance which comes to our cause from
every quarter of the country, from men who
heretofore have not been identified with US
in party associations. Prof. Warner is
good enough Republican for me this year.
and he does not stand alone, for in every
state of the Union there are good, old
fashioned Democrats who love their county's
honor an desteem it more highly than they
do any political association, no matter how
long they may have been members Of 1t,
and they are with us in this contest for the
public honor. I am glad to meet the young
men from the college Of Berea I am glad
that in this political contest we can submit
our principles with confidence to the edu-
Gated men Of the United States, and l re-
joicc that in every college Of the country,
East and West, where a poll has been taken,
a large majority is always found In favor OF
financial integrity and the national honor.
1t Is good thing for young men to COM
mence right. Dishonesty never pays, either
in national or individual life, and if there
ever was a question or honesty involved in
a political contest it is involved in that OF
1896.
I am glad to greet my old friends from
Medina county; friends Of long ago, friends
of many years standing, friends who
have always stood unfalteringly to the cause
of Republican principles, from the organiZa-
ton Of the Republican party. When my
district was gerrymandered in 1884, all they
wanted to know in that county was, how
many votes l required to elect me to con-
gress. And when they found out how many
we had to have, they secured the woods
and furnished them, and all were honest
votes. too. All voted for that cause because
they believed it embraced the greatest pros
perity for the American people. Some peo.
pie seem to think that the way to enrich
this country is to coin the silver Of the world
at the ratio Of 16 to l. Well, If 16 to 1 is
a good thing. 80 to 1 is better, for 80 to ]
better expresses the commercial relations
between gold and silver Than 16 to J.. If we
are to coin silver In dollars we want enough
put into every dollar to make 1t worth a
hundred cents everywhere, so that the dol
lar will not cheat anybody, either public
or a private creditor. But there is more In
volved in the campaign than the question OF
currency There is the question Of whether
this is to be government by law, whether
the law Is to be supreme over ALL. whether
the courts Of this country, which are
sheet anchor for us in every time OF tr0u-
BILE, are to be sustained or become the mere
creatures O. party caucus.

to-day the best money in the world, the
gold dollar, the silver dollar and the paper

cause each has the government of the
United States behind it. Such money is
good enough for us and we have enough of
it, but the trouble is, it does not circulate.
Everybody that has a hundred dollars is
boarding it to-day, for he does not know
what the future is going to bring. There
is not a man in the audience who, making
hundred dollars, is willing to loan it out
unless he is certain he will get it back,

There is not a railroad employe who has
laid aside a hundred dollars that will not
hold onto it until he knows what the future
currency Of the United States Is to be. AS
you feel il regard to your savings, so the
men with thousands and millions Of dollars
under their control are unwilling to part
with that money so long as there is a
great party in this country threatening to
repudiate not only debts public, but debts
private, and. as I said before, money does
not make business, business makes money;
money does not bring work, work brings
money.

Greeting From I[Hns.ls,

Canton, Ohio, Oct. 23-KaEsas came smil-
ingly into Canton to-day several hundred
strong. Employees of the Santa Fe railroad
and others made one of the most enthusi-
astic delegations that have yet visited Can
ton Some of the party were two days on
the road. They were headed by President
H. B. Morris, Of the Empire Railway
Mems Sound Money club. The singular
crowd of the day was the party of poor
supervisors of Pennsylvania who came to
Canton from Pittsburg, where they were
in convention. Armstrong county, was rep
resented by several thousand people. From
10 o'clock this morning until this evening
the streets were again crowded with cheer
ing delegations. Maj. Mckinley spoke as
follows In reply to the address on behalf Of
the delegation from Kansas:
This is indeed a very great pleasure to
me. You have journeyed farther than any
other delegation Of the United States that
has honored me with visit at my home,
and appreciate your call. 1t shows better

Good Markets and Good Dollars.

Following is Maj McKinley's speech in
response to the address Of Hon. Frank A.
Hoffman in behalf of the Van Vert (Ohio)
delegation:
We are engaged In 4 great national con-
test, contest of far more importance than
any since the great civil war. We have
had no campaign in the lifetime OF the
younger men Of this audience that is at
all comparable in its vital effects to the
contest that is waging this year. Most Of
this audience has come from farming Sec
tions; most are farmers who are interested
with the rest Of our fellow citizens in hay
Ing good government, government regulated
by law, government over which the laws
of the country are supreme. You are in
terested in having peace, good order, public
tranquility and prosperity, and what Is
good for you Is good for all our fellow citi-
zens, wherever they may be situated; what
Is good for one state is good for another.
and what is good for one county is good
for another. What you farmers want is
good times. You will do your sowing. your
reaping, your threshing, and when you have
done all that, you want good markets, just
as near your farms as you can have them.
Some people think the way to increase mar
kets for farm products is to depreciate the
value of the dollar. Do you believe that?
What you want Is not more money coined
by the minis, but more money in the hands
of the people, and the only way to get it is
to set the people to work to earn money.
There is no legerdemain in finance; there is
no way to get money except by earning it
and by setting labor to work. What you
want to do is to restore the good times Of
1892. You want to get the shops opened
and to restore those times when the work
ingman was so busy that he hardly had
time to attend political meetings.
Maj Mckinley spoke as follows in reply
to G. w. Croft, who spoke for the associa-
ton and directors Of poor and charities Of
Pennsylvania:
You are engaged in an unselfish, noble
and necessary work, a work that requires
great care and ability, for it Is the pride
and glory of our civilization that we take
care OF our poor in every state and terri.
tory Of the Union. We have in this coun-
airy the best hospitals for the unfortunate
of every character. 1t does credit to our
citizenship, civilization and humanity that
we spend so much for the unfortunate Of
our population. Your spokesman has very
well said that the way to decrease the poor
list Is to Increase the opportunity for work,
anw If there is one thing more than an
other that the Republican party desires 1t
Is that every man beneath our flag who
wants to work shall have an opportunity
to work.. When the opportunity is given
him to work, the Republican party means
to see, too, that he shall receive payment
for his work in good money.
No Cheap Dollars.

Lincoln, Garfield and Grant have stood if
the doctrine that Is now taught to-day,
that those of humble surroundings and
who have not yet made their careers. or
acquired their fortunes, are to be set off by
themselves and not to be permitted to
aspire to higher and better things? Every
continent of our country, the spirit of our
institutions. the nations honesty, the ma
tional spirit, all cry out against the doc
trine of class or caste or distinction in
the United States.
Now, my fellow citizens, having said this
much, for I have been doing little else to-
day but talking to my fellow citizens from
many states Of the Union, I only want to

much as the total coinage pre-.
vious to 1873, and on the first Of
last month the number Of silver
dollars was 430, 7o0041.
SILVER ASSERTION,
Free coinage Of silver will ex-
pand our currency"
THE FACT IN THE CASE,
A law decreeing the free COLI
age Of silver would instantly con-
tract the currency by the total
amount OF our gold coin 1851, OOO,-

every one into whose possession
gold came would hoard whatever

Simultaneous loss in currency with

SAVER ASSERTION.
'The United States has stricken
out aud disgraced silver"
TIE sAor IN THE CASE.
The United States are o-oov-the
largest users 'of silver as ...uney
Of all the nations on earth, ex-
cepting India and China. India's
stock o. silver money is. euuiva-
lent 70 1928, 100000. China has
$723,OOO,O0O e and the United
States stock Of silver money is
1921, 100000. The next largest
stock Of silver money is that of
France. $5OO,OOO,OOO. Germany
has 215,OOO,OO0 and the United
Kingdom only $112,OOO,0O0. Next
90. = free silver country Of which
We bear a good deal now, has
only $50. O00,O 900 Of silver money.
SILVER ASSERTION:
This country is suffering from
q scarcity Of currency"
THE FACT IN THE CASE:
The banks Of New York city
alone are now holding ovlr
$2O,O0O,OOO of idle currency, for
which Its owners can find no safe
or profitable investments, The
banks of nearly all our large cities
are In the same fix. To coin or
print more money now would be
merely to add to this stock of idle
and consequently useless cur
rency.
SILVER ASSERTION,
1.-The farmer and laboring man
are poor and we want to intro
duce free coinage Of silver so that
they may have more dollars"
THE FACT IN THE CASE:
The farmer or l:boring man can
to-day get as many dollars as he
can { earn. Or (2) give goods for,
or 9 give security for borrow
ing. There are probably 2OO,OOO,-
600 unused dollars now in the
country. II there were ten times
as many there would be no other
way in which the farmer or labor
ing man could get hold Of any
part * chem than those above
mentioned.
SILVER ASSERTION:
"Free coinage Of silver will
enrich the farmer because it will
give him higher prices for his pro-
duce and will enrich the merchant
because the farmer will then have
more money to spend"
THE FACT IN THE CASE:
If the price Of the farmers stuff
goes M everything else will 20
up with it. He will get no more
value for his product under one
currency than another, neither
will the merchant.

Tho Lion Ret.iiat.a.

An exciting scene was witnessed at
Bourg few days ago during a per-
Torrance of lions in Salvatore menag-
erie Three young men presented
themselves and asked permission to
play game of cards in the lions den
during the representation. The request
being granted table was brought in.
ON which cards and champagne were
placed, and the strangers began their
game Presently one of the majestic
6rutes approached player named
Chauveau, and snuffed suspiciously at
him The latter, probably wishing to
show off," gave the animal a push.
Inc beast, resenting the liberty,
knocked the audacious stranger off his
perch, and, selling him with his teeth,
rolled him over and over. Those pres
ent gave the young man up for lost, but
the lion tanner seized the brute by the
jaws, and forced his mouth open, thus
allowing an opportunity for Chauu-
veau to scramble out of the cage, for
tunately more frightened than hurt.

he was received with loud acclama-
tions by the spectators Paris Letter.

Quick Repair. for Pneumatic rIre

A Chicago firm is introducing a
''quick repair" method for healing a
punctured tire. II consists of an addi-
ton OF thin film of rubber. which lies
inside of the inner tube. next to the
rim. adding, il is stated, only one and
one-half ounces to the weight of the
tube. A small metallic cup. to which is
attached straight nozzle, is provided
by which to introduce cement into the
tube through puncture. The nozzle
OF the cup is inserted in the puncture,
the cement forced in, the wheel being
turned so that the cement settles back
on the orifice. 1t is then pressed down.
which pressure attaches and ccments
the inside film firmly to the inner SUR
face of the tube, the whole operation
lasting only two minutes. and which

Morgan County, coIorado.

The success of the famous Gree ey Colony
is being repeated in the irrigated district
surrounding Fort Morgan, Colo. Little
more than ten years have elarsed since its
settlement began but the results that have
already been attained are far beyond the
most extravagant hol es of the founders OF
the enterprise. Where they had aimed to
plant modest little colony are 5O0 splendid
farms surrounding several fiourishing
towns and supporting system of schools

where. The territory embraced under the
system OF irrigation cana. has been erected
into Morgan County, Coo, and now has
population somewhat in excess of 5000
souls.
Alfalfa, potatoes, wheat and oats are the
staple products, but the possibilities in
other directions are almost beyond belief
