east. They said that the people of Ar izona are looking to the future they are not repudiationists- they carry forward their enterprises in a legiti mate way and when tthe time comes will receive favorable consideration from us. The result is that money with which to meet their obligations can then be readily obtained.
 This is the true sentiment in the east in regards ito Arizona and in the event of MeKinley's election the terri tory will enjoy prosperity such as it has never done before. This is not buncombe, but plain every day facts, as will be shown.
 Of the many enterprises which have been started in this country may be mentioned the Hudson Reservoir com pany. This company has already spent $60,000 in surveys and perfecting titles to lands under United States and l territorial laws. In the event of the election of Mckinley fully three or four million dollars will be brought into | iahe valley to complete the enterprise. AS it is the unsettled condition of the money question has frightened capital and the bonds cannot be f1oated The eledlion of free silver president would forever stop this enterprise from be- | Afxad J the next two years would see a vast irrigation system under way. Fully 1000 men would be employed and the supplies and materials would mostly be obtained in this valley. This work when completed will be the largest in uhe Limited States and the impounded waters in Tonto Basin would make one of the largest lakes on the coas and thep robl-em of an abundance o water for the entire valley will bt solved
 The success of this enterprise means everything for the Salt River valley and itIhe population of Phoenix woult increase three times its present pop ulation by force of the cultivation of al of the soil of the valley.
 Another large enterprise is tha Pennsylvania irrigation canal and dam

CANTON, O., Oct. 10.-The Wo- mems Republican club of Warren, Pa, marched at the head of the delegation of nine carloads of people coming with the Warren Daily Mirror excur- sion from Warren and Forest counties, Pa. The party represented all the in terests of the two counties. An in itroductory address was made by c. J. Burk1in of Tideoult. Two special trains came from Clinton and a few neigh boring counties. They were enthusi- astically received. The city has been schoing wifh cheers all day. The crowd is composed principally of farm CTS, but business men, merchants and mechanics and other classes of citi- gems were represented. Major A. w Doan introduced the party.
 At noon the streets were crowded ! with delegations for miles around. The sidewalks were filled with men and women cheering the paraders. who were enthusiastically returning the sa- i lute while they awaited their turn tS reach McKinley's home The rail- road men say it will be impossible to get all the crowds waiting at connect ing railroad points into Canton before evening and possibly not before 10 o'clock tonight. With all the great demonstrations seen almost daily at Canton nothing has yet approached the scenes of today. The railroad men af noon reported 290 carloads here or on their way. There were bands of music 1 everywhere. The weather was fine, Major Mckinley was in magnificent voice. ,u l Fifty bishops, conference of1ciak and members of the M. E. conference, came with greetings of the centennial i jubilee conference, now in session in New York city. They were given a cordial greeting by Major Mckinley They represent, according to their spokesman, Bishop George w. Clinton, nearly a half million of conmunicants
 and by the same authority ninety-nine per cent will vote and work for the Republican party. The fifth address
 of tihe day was delivered to a thousand or more commercial travellers from
 Rochester, New York, Indianapolis

THE WHEELS OF PROSPERITY AND PROGRESS SPILLED.
English Capital Tmd Will Invest New Enterprises Until After the EectiOn-DisastrOu Effect to
 Enterprises by the Silver

This is an age of enlightenment and 1 the man of intelligence is always seek ing that which will not only benefit him self, but the Nation, for he knows that prosperity for his country means prosperity for the individual. There are those who set their minds abso- lutely on an issue and do not reflect that idhieir views may be wrong. Why is this? It is easily explained. Such a person only looks on the side he advocates without giving a thought that mayhap he is working not only against his own interests, but the country in which he lives is also the sufferer by the force of his illogical reasoning.
 The ostrich is wise in some things, but foolish in others. When pursued the bird buries its head in the sand, under the impression that as long as it cannot see the pursuer it is also hid from view. Thus it becomes an easy prey and falls a victim to its own folly.
 Such it is with human nature; be- cause we are blind to our own follies, the impression prevails in our sus- ceptible minds that the world is like wise gropings in darkness, and we fall the victims of our own imprudence and egotism.
 The illustration is pertinent and ap- plicable in lthis territory of ours. In our own environment we see naught but that which is subservient to the needs of the community in which we live We are content to leave our in- terests remain within tlhe confines of our surroundings. If we prosper, why should we trouble ourselves with the world outside of that environment?
 We who live in Arizona and who have made but a superficial observa- tion of the great question of finance now agitahing the Nation, labor under the mistaken idea that the free and unlimited coinage of silver is the one thing needful ito set the wheels o1 progress in motion Our Sentiments in ithis respect are patriotic, no doubt in our own convictions, and without stopping to reflect as to whether oul views are correct, or the prosperity O our territory is absolutely dependen1 on such a course, we hake up the slogan of free silver, blinding ourselves to OUT most vital needs for our selfish desires True, Rhat within the confines of ou territory there are many silver pro ducing mines that would start up il the event of the election of presiden who stands on the Chicago platform but would our other and more import ant interests be improved? Amy in telhgent man who will study the qlles tion will promptly answer no.
 There are in Arizona many import ant enterprises at a standstill, for cap ital is timid and will not invest i these enterprises when tthe country on the verge of impending ruin, as would be if Bryan was elected.
 If Mckinley is elected the effect wi be felt by every debtor, and every pel son laboring under the burden of
 mortgage or business obligation. Th action of the Republican territoris convention in standing by soun money twas universally commende throughout ,lhe money centers of th
