ent monetary system Is preserved the government will do whatever it's moral obligations and express declarations re- quire it to do and very largely as a consequence of this confidence in the good faith of the executive authorities the silver coins have not depreciated in value,
 "It is not disputed that whatever can be lawfully done to maintain equality in the exchangeable value of the two metals will be done whenever it becomes necessary, and although. sill Yer dollars and silver certificates have not up to thee present time, been re- ceived in exchange for gold, yet, if the time shall ever come when the parity cannot be otherwise maintained such exchanges will be made.
 Tt is the duty of the secretary of the treasury and of all other public of- ficials to execute in good faith the policy declared by congress, and when" ever he shall be satisfied that the sil- yer dollar cannot be kept equal in purchasing power with the gold dollar except by receiving it in exchange for the gold Qollar, WHetl Sucu eAclldLSe IS demanded, it will be his duty to adopt that course. But if our present policy is adhered to and the coinage is kept within reasonable limits the means heretofore employed for the mainte- nance of the parity will doubtless be found sufficient in the future and our silver dollars and silver certificates will continue to circulate at par with gold, thus enabling the people to use both metals instead of one only as would be the case if the parity were destroyed by free coinage.

M,KINLEY TO THE FARMERS.
Tells Some HoInely Truths About Past
 and Present Conditions.

AHu IToseHb OOltIlUiOuB.
 Canton, O., Sept 15.-Fifteen hun- dred mountaineer farmers of Somerset, Pa, descended on Canton to-day tu promise their support to Major Me- Kinley. They came with three bands and many banners inscribed with apt party notices. Each man wore aI cluster of golden rod on the lapel of his coat and some fastened the blos- som to their hats The men of Somer- set were dubbed Frosty Sons of Thun~ der'' by one of their representatives in a speech in the house in Washington more than fifty years ago and to-day each man wore yellow badge with this phrase upon it. The delegatien was organized by Editor George R. Scull. He told Major Mckinley that the enthusiasm was so strong among the Pennsylvania mountaineers that several hundred men had arisen before daylight and walked ten miles across the mountains in order to join the Cam ton excursion.
 This was the largest delegation of farmers that Major Mckinley has ad- dressed at his home. It comprises one- fifth of the voters of Somerset county.
 Farmer Critchfield was spokesman and made thoughtful protection and sound money speech that was liberally applauded. When Major Mckinley rose to speak he was greeted with loud cheers. The major, in part, said:
 II do not recall a time since the days of the civil war in which there has been so much solicitude for the r.ght4 full outcome of national election as there is this year. Popular inquiry was never before so great and popular in terest was never so profound. It is gratifying, too, that the masses of our countrymen are seeking the right foT the sake of the right. They want to know what is best for the country what will truly promote their own welfare and insure the grandest results for the common good. The political situation of the country is peculiar. We have but one political party which is united and that is ours. Discord reigns in all others. Happily, the republican party was never more closely united than now and there was never better reason for such union and never greater ne- cessity for it than now"

outskirts of the crowd and listened to the rest of the speech.
 MT. Bryan said in part:
 Mature smiles upon your husbandry. Your soil gives forth in rich profusion, but according to the experience of the farmer, with all he can do with his in dustry, with his economy, with all his patient toil he finds that the load of the American farmer draws harder every year. (Great applause) In olden times, under the rule of those who waved and swept the sabre, as they said, by right divine, complaint was answered With the lash, but now the just complaint Of the toiling millions of the United states is answered by charges that they are anarchists and socialists. (Great ap- plause.)
 "There is ore unfortunate thing in connection with the use of the word an- archist as applied to those who are banded together to restore the money of the constitution Anarchy is thing not to be considered in land like this. Anarchy can have no home among the people who have the ballot to right their wrongs. (Great applause.) And tho unfortunate thing about this cam paign is that when the name anarchist is applied to the bone and muscle Of this country by men who are doing more to overthrow our government than any anarchist who ever carried a red flag, say when this word 'ararch- ist' is applied to the toiling millions by men who seek without toll to ,surp the fruits of those who toll. the danger is that it will make the name respectable because of it's association. (Uproarious applause.) l protest against the use of that name for the purpose which de- prives it of all it's terrors. Those op- posed to us cannot afford to place the farmers and the laborers of the coun- try in the position of enemies of gov ernment, because they are the only friends any government ever had. These very men who are abused and despised by those who doubt the ca pacity of the masses for self govern ment are the very people who in time of emergency must protect their call umniatorS from themselves and their associates.
 T shall remember this speech be- cause of the most remarkable parade which it ever has been my good for tune to witness. And they bore ban- ners which present notices which make any further speaking unnecessa- ry If I were to talk to you from now until night I could not more than em- phasize the notices which have passed in procession before you"
 MT. Bryan was driven to his car, fol- lowed by the cavalcade that had form ed part of his escort to the grounds. The train left for Maysville at o'clock D. m.

AFTER "FITz, AND coRBETT.
Chief ConIin Will Arrest Them if it b.
 Possible.

New York, Sept. 15.-It transpired this afternoon that Chief of Police Con- lin has been trying to secure evidence that Corbett and Fitzsimmons arrang- ed a prize fight at the Bartholdi few days ago. MT. Conlin said the penal code made it a misdemeanor to arrange any fight in this city. He said that he had sent letters to several of the news papers asking if they would in the in- terest of justice furnish the evidence that such misdemeanor had been com nitted. ''If I can get evidence that there was talk of a fight as reported, ," said the chief, 'I will arrest Corbett and Fitzsimmons and all the parties who had anything to do with arrang- ing fight.'

 Pieces as Alleged.


 Washington, Sept. 15--The state de- partment is manifesting an active in- terest in the reported hacking to pieces by Spaniards in Cuba of Charles Govin, an American newspaper correspondent, and Consul General Lee has demanded full report on the affair from Captain General Weyler.

ing Of the route to the river commonly
known ss the Seventh and Fourth street

President William Lawton spoke in
opposition to the project.
He claimed that such q road would be a
great expense and no value for the
reasons, first, that II 1t should reach the
river it would rtq hire a wharf 600 feet
In length to reacu deep water aud second.
that it would harm the company he
represented should the route spoken Of
above be opened, although he added that
when there were manufacturers who
needed that road he should not stand In
the way. He suggested that mere ahnts
Should look after nearby trade and not
be hunting up trade over the river that
they could hardly hope to obtain al d
sd3ed that there were plenty Of good
sites this side OF the river
TIE Christina river he thought wss
sufii sient for the city provided 1t be kept
clean He denounced the ides that
steamships would stop at wharf on the
river front as absurd. ss was the idea
that ferry boats would land passengers
and truck there. Ie thought the tax
payers would not stand an expense Of
from 800 600 to 5000, 900
g. 5. Rec said this estimate was
too low end fixed tbs figures at 81, ,0OO.-
