: Following Is Major Mciinley's ad-
dress to the delegation from Kansas,
which was introduced by Mr.. a. NJ.
Baird:
My Fellow.C Citizens OF Kansas:-This
Is indeed very great pleasure TO me.
You have Journeyed farther than any
other delegation OF the United States
that has honored me with visit to my
home. and ] appreciate your call moro
than can find words to express. 1t
shows better than any words that could
be uttered by amy man what Is in your
minds and hearts and what your pur-
poses Gre touching the election to be
held IN the 3rd day of November.
You are interested In the prosperity OF
your country. There was a time when
some men were In the habit OF saying
that 1t did not make any difference 10 the
railroad men OF the country, whom you
represent, what kind OF financial leglsa-
tion We had or what kind OF tariff policy
We pursued in the United States.
have heard 1t said thousand times from
the public rostrum that while the tarfi
might help the men engaged In the fac
tories, It had no influence upon the wag-
es OF the men who were engaged upon
the great transportation lines OF the
country. II any OF you believed that
statement four years ago you do not be-
lleve 1t now. because you know that
UPON THE GENERAL PROSPERI-
TY OF, THE COUNTRY DEPENDS
THE PROSPERITY OF OUR GREAT
RAILROADS. AND UPON THEIR
PROSPERITY: DEPENDS YOUR EN-
PLOYMENT AND WAGES. YOU
WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO IF
THERE IS NOTHING TO HAUL. And
the more there Is to haul. the more and
steadler employment You will have and
the better wages yuu will get for your
services and families.
In the last three years and half no
character OF property has suffered more
than the railroads. Many OF them have
been compelled to SO into the hands OF a
receiver. Many OF them have been una
Bile to pay either their bonds or tho In
tercst on them: and that is only because
the change OF 1892 settled paralysis up
on the business OF the United States.
Now what We want to do is to get back
our prosperity. Whatever will do that
Is what all OF us ought 70 be in fayor OF.
no matter what may be our sevral occu-
pations and employment.
\ number OF reasons are offered for
this congested condition Of business; and
number OF prescriptions are offered for
its cure The most prominent one is that
we will all be made prosperous and hap
py II we only open our mints to the coin
age OF all the silver In the world. CAN
ANY WORK1NGMAN. OR ENPLOYE
OF. THE SANTA FE SYSTEM. TELL
Me HOW THE FREE COINAGE OF
THE SILVER OF THE WORLD WILL
BENEFIT HIM? Will 1t increase your
traffic or transportation? VIII II IN
crease consumers in the east, or the pro-
ducts OF the farms OF the west? Will !t
increase the demand for Il single days
labor anywhere? VIII Il increase the
wages of any Torkingman to have this
government declare that the price OF sill
yer that you can buy anywhere in the
world for So cents shall be coined as i
dollar by the government without eN-
nes:e-and we fcol ourselves by calling
them dollars?
VIII that help anybody? Will that
help any American interest anywhere?
What Ii will do will be to increase the
production os the silver OF the world
and with the increased production OF
silver will come its certain deprecia-
ton, and with the depreciation of silver
will be the still further depreciation of
the silver coins of the United States
Surely no man wants that. II IS NOT
