brought back?"
IN many ways. First, by the re-
enactment of a wholesome and sensible
tariff bill, the Inauguration of a great
national policy of internal Improvement,
coast defenses, improved waterways,
! the extension of trade with South Amer

We have is good, in floating forts and

Two hundred million dollars could be
gained at per cent on a popular loan
for the money that is now boarded by
all classes-working people, farm boys,
working girls, clerks, small business
men, and large business men, too. II
would gladly come out of hiding 10 be
invested in as good security as govern
ment bonds. What would six million
dollars a year be for defense of all our
seacoaSt, figured out TO what II would
cost the average inhabitant?"
"Who is the candidate TO win Republic
can success, to lead IN tariff return,
bring back good times, and inaugurate
this policy Of great public improve
ment?'
I'VE have the man IN Pennsylvania,
the man hat We In our state know to
be the strongest, ableSt, most resource
full, and most successful man in public
life today. His name Is Quay-a con-
quering, triumphant name. His aplbi-
ton heretofore has been in his devotion
TO the state interests Of Pennsylvania.
In 1888 when the nation was in the
hands Of the Democracy, the Republican
party dispirited and entering upon a
doubtful campaign, he appeared as the
leader, and laid such plans of victory
and so completely rallied the support
and confidence of the country and by
his power and genius of leadership so
cemoraliZed the Democracy that he won
T,Jlf FAC
against heavy odds by political gen
eral in this country. He had the Dem
ocratic party in trenched in national
rover in New York, the great and
necessary state; it was intrenched IL
state and city power; it also had the
help Of the money of the importers. He
saw the way to victory, took his party
along ii, and by his great ability gave
the country Republican president. In
that he gT' = to The people of the nation
a touch of the power that IS in the man,
as we have long known in our state.
While Quay has been the tower OF
strength to the industries of Pennsylva-
MIA, while even in a time when every
other state failed he held the free-trade
senate Of the United States to protection
for Pennsylvania, and while he has ever
been the leader of the strong public and
industrial force OF the state, he is even
stronger with the eomon people and Is
intrenched in the affections of all class
es in our state. No man In the state
has ever been so much loved by the
common people nor so completely trust
ed. He is as strong with all the better
and higher elements, independent Of
party, as he is with the masses of his
own party. He is not an ambitious man.

ed to call. He has held many public
places, led in many fights. and never
been defeated. He IS a Republican
through and through, and is the very
sort Of man If he were elected presi-
dent who would strengthen It's party
and make it invincible."
This is interesting. OF course Sem
ator Quay is not so well known outside
Of Pennsylvania as in II. Is he sincere
in his candidacy for PRESIDENT"
AS sincere as any man ever was, and
the people Of Pennsylvania are as sim
cerely for him as the people of Ohio
are for Mckinley. or Iowa for Allison,
or Maine for Reed. They know he has
the ability to be president, They know
he has the devotion to the peoples in
terest to make a great president Com
mercial classes and manufa cturers, far
mers. worllngmen and bankers and
business men know that the public in
terests would be safe in his hands, while
the people knew that he would be true
10 their interests, As to protection, no
Mckinley and no other man surpasses
him in devotion to its principles or pow
er 10 defend its interests. Beyond that
he has broader ideas than any man in
the field. When asked a few DAYS ago

he was leaving the capitol. he replied
offhand: More tariff, more money, more
employment for labor, more internal i'm
prOvementS, more American shipping on
the seas. more markets for the surplus
of American farms and factories, more
trade with South America and Mexico.
more coast defenses and a stronger
navy This is a winning platform.
which would bring good times. QUAY
could inaugurate and carry il all out.
Any idea that he is not as trained In
scholarship as he is experienced II,
craftsmanship is wrong. He is literally
educated, has the best library in Penn
sylvania, is the best read man in his
tory and literature that I know. And as
20 practical reform he has inaugllra ted
in Pennsylvania a movement for munic-
ipal reform. which Is more needed than
dlN olneT reform IN the government
and thus has proposed an actual reform
which Is needed most and can best be
carried out. He was a gallant union
