crowds are maSsed. The grand crush
commenced shortly after noon and bids
fair to continue without interruption
till after dark.
The fifth address delivered by Mai.
Mckinley today was to an enormous
crowd coming from AShtabula and
Perry counties, Ohio, and occupying
four special trains. In the audience
were many Mckinley and Hobart
clubs from the various towns of the two
counties, railroad men and dock men
from the lake front, farmers, miners.

thing that can be said about the Republican

the great American statesmen, no matter
to what party they may have belonged, who
stood for the country and it's honor We

any other Western state. but her commerce
In every other particular is of exceeding
great Importance. But by the census re-
turns Michigan had invested in manufactures
in 1890 about $251, 000 GOO and the value in pro-
duction of 1921, 900 600. Under the census law
every. establishment Of productive industry,
including mines and factories, in which the
value of the products was two hundred
dollars or more. was to be reported. Michigan
reported total number of her Industrial
establishments of all kinds at 8,812 capital
lnveSted S251, COO, 600, value of materials used
S125,00O, 600, value of productions S237 GOO 600,
and 165 600 employees. The total in wages
paid during the year ending June l, 1890. was
$780, 600 000. You know better than I do the
condition Of labor in Michigan now; is it in
the same condition that it was in 1890, or in
1891, 1892?
In agriculture Michigan Is equally prom
inent, with an acreage of about Ia, 900, 900 Of
excellent farm lands valued at $500 900, 900,
and. an annual product of over SOL 900, 000
J Then, in the production of lumber, how re-
markable the showing of the state of Michi-
gan Is, or has been. Then your great furni-
ture manufactures of Grand Rapids, the
pride and admiration of the entire country,
were busy with thousands of employees work
ing at living wages. How is it today, men
of Grand Rapids?
From the close of the war up to $780, it
was 0Stlmat6Q CnaL you naQ turned out the
enormous product of nearly 5000, OOO 900 feet
of lumber. / cannot go into the details of
the product in the good times of 1890. Suffice
1t to say that 1t was much the largest Of any
equal territory in this or any other coun-
try. When reflect the development of
all this wealth is in state Of less than 60, 900
square r1a re- miles, and among people not yet
$500, 600 in number, we can begin to realize
how great Is our country.
Can it be possible that such a magnificent
commonwealth will ever lend her influence
to free silver. free trade, dishonest and par
tial entire reputation?
What the people of this country want,
whether they dwell in Michigan or Tennes-
see Ohio, is policy that will protect
and defend every American interest against
the outside world from any quarter. What
we want is a tariff put upon foreign goods
high enough to not only give US revenue
enough to run the government, but to- afford
adequate protection to every American in
dustry and occupation. This is the policy Of
the Republican party. What we want is to
restore a policy that will enable US to pay
as we go, both government and people. We
have not been doing that for four years
past I am sure your great and grand state
can be relied upon to enroll itself in the
the column of national honor as against
reputation, Of a protective tariff reoiproc-
ity and the maintenance everywhere Of pub
lie order, tranquility and the supremacy of
law.
