PRESIDENT M'KlNLEY IN OHIO.
Continuous Ovat'ons to the thiei
magistrate on His Journey.

Cincinnati. Oct. 3l.--President Mckln-
lev has had continuous ovations here yes
terdav from the time of his arrival at
10: 50 a. m. until after midnight, when the
banquet of the Commercial club was over,
He received ovations at Nenia and all
along the Little Miami valley, before
reaching this city.
When the presidential party left the
train at Terrence roads there was II null
titude of suburbanites there to greet HIM,
and the ovation continued ell route to
Walnut Hills, where Kirscheim, the
Schmidlap mansion, is located. Then fol-
lowed the ovations Ell route into the city
at noon, the public receptions by the
chamber of commerce and the Young
Mems Business club in the afternoon.
The purpose of the presidential visit
was accomplished when the promise given
a year ago was fulfilled by the president
becoming the guest of the Cincinnati
Commercial club at their annual dinner.
The function was exclusive, though the
80 members of the club present were rein
forced by 81 guests, including eX-Attor-
new General Judson Harmon, Colonel My
ron T. Herrick. Mayor Tafe, NJ. f. Ingalls,,
j. Addison Porter, Mr.. l.. c. Weir, presl-
dent of the Adams Express Company;
John w. H. Taft of the United States
court, and Colonel NJ H. Cochran of the
Sixth infantry L. S. A.
In his speech President Mckinley said
Commerce is a teacher and pacificator
1t gives mankind knowledge of one an
other Reciprocity of trade promotes re-
ciprocity of friendship. Good trade i'll
sures good will. The heart as well as tho
mind contributes directly to the progress
of mankind, and whenever we secure jus
tice and fair commercial relations with
other nations we are sure to have friendly
relations. Abating none of our interest
in the home market, let us move steadily
out to new fields and increase the demand
for our products in the foreign market. II
should be our settled purpose to oper
trade wherever we can, making our ship'
and our commerce messengers of peace
and amity. The consular service of thu
government should be closely scrutinizeC
and carefully differed, and we SHOULD
have at every commercial port of tn,
world a sensible and practical American
who, while discharging his other dutie
with honor to the government, will no
omit in every way to promote American
exchanges and encourage reciprocal trade
Finally, if we are entering upon an er,
of prosperity such as many believe, ant
all fervently hope, remembering our re
cent panic and financial experiences, w
should strengthen the weak places in on
financial system and remove it foreve
from ambiguity and doubt

SHERMAN and b|METALL|SM
SAYS GOLD is HIS STANDARD.
UT . OOED 10 TITo . n HTVDFtTtD'
Unless the Consent of other Nations
Is Obtained the Present Policy
Must COntinue-Declares Prosper
ity VIII Return.

Washington, Oct. 20. = For the first
time since the beginning of the present
campaign in Ohio Secretary Sherman has
published his views, in the shape OF the
following letter, addressed to the editor
of the Cincinnati Volksblatt:
81 look upon the pending canvass in
Ohio as a retrial of the issues of the cleo
ton of 1896. State issues, if any, do not
seem to be the subject of debate. Natur-
ally, the first issue now is whether the
administration of William Mckinley thus
far is approved by the people of Ohio.
Upon this question there ought not to be
any difference of opinion. His prompt
calling together of the congress of the
United States to provide the requisite rev.
enue for the support of the government
and his recommendation of the prompt re-
peal of the feeble and indefensible tariff
law known as the Wilson German law.
has met with general approval. The re-
vival of all industries and the commence
ment of prosperity in all portions of the
United States was the natural and neces-
sary result of the action of the president
and republican congress.
at is said that free coinage would
bring up the price of silver bullion to the
ratio of 1G to |. There is not the slight
est ground for this opinion. Silver has
gone down in price precisely as iron, tin,
copper, or indeed, the price of all metals
except gold. The development in the
process of mineralogy has kept pace with
the cheapening of nearly all the produc-
tions of skill known as manufactures.
Even gold may decline as the result of
recent development of mines in several
parts of the earth, but from its superior
value in the smallest space and being less
affected by corrosion than any other
money metal, it is now and will continue
to be the standard of value in the chief
nations of the world. Silver will be
largely used in all countries for minor
coins, and if limited in amount and re-
deemed at its coinage value or made a
legal tender for limited sums, it will be
largely absorbed for minor transactions
but its free coinage for all who demand
it would at once make it the sole coin in
circulation, prevent the coinage of gold
and place our great and powerful coun-
try in financial operations among the
minor and poorer nations of the world
This is the issue that will largely control
the vote of Ohio next week"

throng was composed of all classes AZ i,
shades of life and of all religious opinions
On the face of every one was stamina,
the unmistakable signs of regret. Whit
hundreds of faces were drawn with ~
fering and pain. To thousands of thos.
who passed by Henry George was na,.
sonally known, and it was these who In.

and held up while they gazed at the fea.

Before 3 o'clock the people were permit.
ted to occupy the seats in the Grand nal.
ace. The front six rows in the main aud;.
forum were reserved for the family. the
immediate friends of the deceased tbs
pallbearers and ushers. All the rest ~
the floor was open to the crowd, and Il
took but short time to fill the hail.
In the vast auditorium where the dead
rested, teachers of all faiths-Jews. Chris
tians, Catholics and Episcopalians--with
hearts wrung with pain, spoke words
which confessedly fell far short of the
great waves of emotion that sought IL
! find utterance.
Not dissenting voice was heard to the
declaration that Henry George was low
er of the people, who he believed were be-
oppressed, and that he gave his life that
humanity might live.
Rev. DIR. Heber Newton read the burial
service. DR.. Lyman Abbott spoke upon
the character and public services Of the
dead philosopher, Rabbi Gotheil, DR.. Ed.
ward McGlynn and John s. Crosby also
made addresses.
At the lowest estimate l25,00O people
saw the casket as it wendell its way 10

PEELED to stand aside in reverence and
sympathy while the family claimed its

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 29.--Captain j. c.
Barr, superintendent of the North Ameri-
can transportation & Trading Companys

Michaels, and says Secretary Ayers or
der creating a military reservation at the
mouth of the Yukon is probably the re.
suit of Captain Rays recommendation,
who found a lawless spirit manifested at
st. Michaels when he was there in Au.
gust. Captain Barr thinks the order will
result in the maintenance of free trade on
the river and the securing to everybody
of equal rights. At present Lieutenant
Colonel Randell, with his force of 20 men,
has absolutely no power Captain Barr,
who has spent five years on the Yukon,
and is probably better posted than any
man in the territory, says there can hard
ly be any exaggeration as to the richness
of the interior of Alaska.

Lumber Rates Are R.i.ed

Spokane, Wash, Nov. l.-At meeting
OF the Spokane Lumber Association held
last Thursday evening the fact developed
that for the first time in seven years the
supply of dry lumber in the territory
bounded by Montana ON the east, Oregon
on the south, the Cascade mountains on
the west, and the Canadian Pacific rail
way on the north, is exhausted. For sew
eral weeks the local mills and yards have
been importing dry lumber from beyond
Northport, from Montana and from the

ed to about 10 per cent, and this was the
rating agreed upon by the association as
an advance on former rates.
