penditures; and one of the greatest
monuments that he left is that during
his administration as Secretary of the
Treasury he reduced the national debt
from $4,000, 600 in 1902 to about S4o,-
100000 in 1872. 1t was his proud boast
when he made his report to Congress
that this wonderful reduction or the
public debt had gone out without re-
sorting to internal taxation either d.
rect or indirect, but that this vast sum
of money was provided for by duties
upon imports" (Cheers.)
After speaking at some length on the
tariff question, Mr.. Mckinley contln-
ued: There is just as much money IN
this country to-day as there was from
1870 to 1890, and more. But what is the
trouble? (Cries of mo work, no work. }
Yes, no work 1t is work that puts
money into circula ton. Money does not
want to be idle any more than labor
wants to be idle. The man who has
money wants that money to be earning
something, and the only reason he does
ont put it out now is because he is
afraid he will never get it back, or get It
back in deprecated currency. And
when he does not put it out, and it

work. Applause) When you have
idle men and idle money, distress and
suffering prevail.
when a miner has performed
weeks work. do not know how long
it has been since he has performed
full weeks work-When the miner in the
mines, and the glass blower in the glass
works, and the workingman in any oc-
cupation, has performed his weeks s
work, and has his weeks pay. that
weeks pay represents the value Of his
labor for six days, does it not? Well
does he not want the money he receives TO
be the best in the world? Does he not
want that money to have as much pur-
chasing power as any money anywhere?
And when you have received dollars
worth 100 cents in purchasing power
you want to know that they Will not
lose, but keep that 100 cents worth of
purchasing power. Tremendous cheer
ing) That is the kind of money we have
now, and that is the kind of money we
\ propose to continue to have.
Il believe, my fellow citizens, that
with returning confidence-and conf
dence is half the capital of the world
money will come out from it's hiding
place, be invested in enterprises all over
the country and put all idle men to
work (applause), and, SO believing, ]
stand for that policy which will most
surely restore confidence.
Now, having said that much, desire
to thank the glass workers for thor
gift. which highly value-for anything
that comes from the hands Of labor is
always cherished by me. Tremendous
cheering) There is nothing in all this
contest that has given me so much sat
isfaction and encOura cement as to feel
/ that l have the workingmen of the
United States standing for the cause I
represent / thank you all for this CALL
and wish you a pleasant visit here in
Canton and a safe return to your
homes" Great applause)

1A11U NVI Dull I'D DIN AN,
statement Given Out by the Demo-
cratic Candidates Law Partner.

LINCOLN, Oct. 12.-In a statement
given out this evening, A. r. Talbot,
republican candidate for the State Sem
ate, and law partner Of w. j. Bryan,
says:
Il see that it is stated in the press re-
ports that L have bolted Mr.. Bryan my
law partner, now Democratic candidate
for President. l have always been and
am now Republican, but no man has a
greater admiration for Mr. Bryan than
have. His honesty, integrity and pat
riotism cannot be questioned. have not
'bolted MIR. Bryan, and any statement
to that effect is untrue.
Il wish also to add that the statement
that Mr.. Bryan misstated his financial
relation to the defunct German National
Bank of this city in his New London
Comm speech is without foundation
and untrue. Mr. Bryan at the time of
the failure of that bank was not in
debted to any amount whatever, and the
bank held no note bearing his signature.
The Indebtedness referred to in the dis
patches was my own personal obliga
ton"

CONVENTION OF PRINTERS.
Annual Meeting of the international
typographical Union.

COLORADO SPRINGS (Col.). Oct. Il.
-Ihe forty third session Of the Interna-
uonal Typographical Union convened in
TINS city this morning There was an
attendance of 200 delegates, represent
Ing every section of the country. Presi-
dent Prescott presided, and selected
minor officials from among Colorado
Springs printers. Committees were ap-
pointed on various lines Of business.
Delegate Eugene f. O'Rourke of New
York arose at the opening and declared
that he had positive proof that there is
in existence in the union a secret body,
known as the Wanetas, and which is
the old Brotherhood revived.
This Brotherhood was started many
years ago. and had as its object the
controlling of work in the various cities,
discriminating against those not mem
bers. 1t was thought to have been
stamped out many years ago.
Delegate O'Rourke presented a resolu-
ton requiring that every officer and
delegate in the body be required to take
an ironclad oath to the effect that from
that time forth he would not belong to
any body which sought to control the
legislation of the union and that he
would use all his power to break UP any
such league.
Every delegate took the oath, and then
the eX-delegates present took it. Many
of those who took it are known to have
been active workers in the secret order
1t is believed by the delegates that it
is now fully stamped out.
A resolution calling for a committee
to report on a shorter-hour system was
introduced.
A half day was spent in business, and
the afternoon was taken up in a drive
to the Garden of the Gods. Manitou
Springs and other scenic points.

JAIL BREAK AT WOODLAND.
Three Desperate Criminals Gain Their
Freedom.

WOODLAND, Oct. 12-Three desper-
ate criminals-Joe Sprout, Fred Bray
and Frank Desmond-whO have served
time in most of the jails in Northern
California, the former two having been
in the State prisons of this State and
Nevada, escaped from the County Jail
to-day.
Sprout and Bray were sentenced this
morning by Judge Grant TO fVe-year
terms in San Quentin for robbing
freight cars at DaVisville. The two
burglars. together with Desmond, were
taken from their cells at the noon hour
and allowed their usual time i'll the cor
ridor Of the Jail for exercise. They
effected their escape by the use of a
pair of sheep shears, which they util-
lied as a chisel, cutting through the
himsy lock in short time.
Sheriff Griffin and his deputies arc
securing the surrounding country. and
it is probable that the fugitiVes will
be apprehended before morning.

CHICAGO, Oct 12-Congressman
Boutelle Of Maine, who spent some time
at Republican National Headquarters
to-day, was assigned to the Pacific
Coast for the rest Of the campaign. He

on October 18th, 18th and 10th. He
will speak in Oregon October I'D and

from October Goth to November ID he

will deal with the tariff question. the
instructions from headquarters being
that all National Committees shall give
the Pacific Coast people what they are
asking for, tariff talk. F. X. Schoon-
maker of New Jersey, who is stump
ing on the coast, has been allowed by
Chairman Hanna to remain there for
the rest Of the campaign.
Mr.. Hanna, commenting to-day on
the letter Of Archbishop Ireland, said
it struck the keynote which the Repub
lican speakers We're now sounding all
over the country. Mr. Hanna said the
tariff was now the chief topic Of the
speeches being made by the committees
orators. He did not place much faith
in concentration of forces and sue

Chairman Samuel ]. Roberts of the

Congressional Record But when he
asks me to enter into discussion of the
tariff question, l tell him that there is
question before the American people
which is far more important than the
tariff question. There is question
which can be settled now; the tariff
question can be settled any time. If he

ing to discriminate against that for

will ask him to wait until he has settled
the money question by international
agreement, and then submit the tariff
question to international agreement.
'Laboring men, l want to ask you
why it is that every gold bug says that
you are selfish, and that you are infiu-
enced by selfish considerations, while
every gold bug pretends to be a philan,

money because it will help other peo-
pie? daughter and cheers) / want
to know why it is that these gold bugs

viii tell you why. If a man believes a
thing is good for himself and also good
for others, he will admit that it is good
tor himself. If he thinks a thing good
for himself, but bad for others, he will
never admit that it is good for himself.
tCheerS.) That is the rule that l lay
down, and you can examine it and APP
ply it to every day life. You will find
that men never deny that a thing is
good for them if they also believe it is
also good for others. 1t is only when
they believe that they will prosper by
others adversities that you hear them
denying that they have any pecuniary
benefit from it, (Applause)
Mr.. Bryan then spoke Of the reasons
which laboring men, farmers and bust
ness men gave for wanting bimetallism,
comparing their reasons with those OF
the advocates of the gold standard
The rest of Mr.. Bryan's speech was a
reiteration of his former arguments on
the money question.

LONDON, Oct. 12.-Tne fight between
"Peddlar'' Palmer of England and
Johnny Murphy of Boston for the ban
tam championship Of the world took
place tonight at the National Sport
ing Club, and was won by Palmer.
Both men were in excellent condition
and each weighed 1141a pounds. Palmer
was a good favorite in the betting at
odds of 9 to 4.
The Englishman forced the fighting
from the outset Of the battle. He was
much the quicker in his deliveries, and
hustled Murphy around the ring in
lively style. In the first two rounds
Murphy failed to land a single good
blow Nevertheless, he stood up brave
ly and took punishment pluckily as
Palmer raiaed blows upon him with his
right and left. The plucky Yankee
boy was heartily applauded.
In the third round Murphy landed
once or twice, but did no apparent
damage to his opponent.

WEST INDIAN HURRICANE.
SHOWING ITS FORCE ALONG THE
ATLANTIC COAST.
Breakers Driven Mountain High
Great Damage at Brighton, Man
haitian and ROckaWay.

NEW YORK, Oct 12-The West In
dian hurricane which arrived in this
city yesterday is to-day blowing off the
coast, making the water boil and driv-
ing the breakers mountain high upon
the coast. It's center this morning was
about 700 miles off the coast at this
point. This city and adjacent coast
lines on the outskirts have not felt the
full force of the hurricane. Little dam
age has been done in this vicinity.
Reports from the Long Island Coast
received this afternoon say the storm
has increased in fury, and that much
damage is being done. At 2:3O this
morning a monster wave struck SeidePs
Concert Hall at Brighton and tore away
two thirds of the structure. There is
little hope that the remainder can be
saved. The Brighton Beach race track
stables are flooded, and the horses have
been removed
Rough estimates place the financial
loss along the coast at 100000. A
large number of temporary structures
along the water front were destroyed.
r'he boulevard was flooded as far as
Neptune avenue.
The Ocean Hotel, west of the Brighton
Beach Hotel, was surrounded by water
and the portico inundated. The foun-
da ton was injured. and for a time it
seemed that the building would be de-
stroyed.
Wolbergs Hotel, Van Wert's fish res
taurant, a pavilion in front of Palmer's s
bathing house, Johnson's photograph
gallery, the front of Louis Stauch's
bathing pavilion, Welsh's bathing
house, Tilyou's bicycle track and Cot
feys clearinghouse on the plaza were
all damaged or totally destroyed Rank
ins ice slide, which was damaged by
tue storm of a month ago, suffered
again, and is now complete wreck.
The Sea Side Athletic Clubhouse was
surrounded by water, and the swinging
bicycle carousal next to it was all but
ruined. The old iron pier that was be-
lieved to be invincible, and that had
been buffeted by the storms Of over
twenty winters, was cut in two by the
fierce of the waves.
Manhattan Beach shared the disaster.
Much of the ornamentatioSl in the
grounds in front of the Manhattan
Eeach Hotel was swept away, and the
magnificent lawn in front of the Ori-
entail Hotel was made a dismal waste.
At Rockaway Beach at least twenty
hotels and pavilions were carried away.
Seaside avenue is flooded, and the resi-
dents are in panic. Connections with
Far Rockaway are all cut off, as the
ocean and bay meet in several places.
Life-savers have been called to Edge
more, as the hotel is expected to be
wrecked. The hotel at Hog Island was
surrounded by the sea at 10 o'clock this
I,orning. Hog Island is covered with
water, and the ocean is running to the
main shore at Far Rockaway.
