MKINLEYS INTEREST
In the Coming Election in the Key
stone State.
GE MUST HAVE SUPPORT.

Pennsylvania at next months cleo
ton must elect a legislature which
win name a United States senator TO
succeed Colonel NJ S. Quay. There are
also 2S district representatives to con-
gress. and two from the state at large,
who will deal with questions as i'm
portant as any that ever received the
attention of the national congress.
The next congress must act upon the
question of the tariff and internal reve-
nues. Our new possessions viii disturb
our tariff revenues. A large portion Of
the increased receipts from the war
revenue bill win become unnecessary.
These matters must all be revised, and
this can only be safely done by the
Republican party.
The Teller resolution declared that
all our national obligations, both bonds
and greenbacks. were payable in silver
dollars. Its avowed purpose was to
make deprecated 16 to, j silver dollars
legal tender In discharge for national
obligations. and TO pave the way
for unlimited coinage of these dollars.
This resolution passed the senate by
large majority. and was defeated in
the house by the Republicans.
STAND BY M'KINLEY.
1t rests with Pennsylvania Repub-
licans 10 say whether they shall follow
the Wsnamaker malcontents. and. by
aiding in the fusion deals OF boiling
Republicans. ambitious Democrats and
Prohibitionists, contribute to the sue
cess Of the Democracy. or stand by the
regular Republican nominees that rep
resent the party of President Mckinley,
patriotism and prosperity.
President Mckinley expects every
Republican to stand BY him in the
present crisis The great problems that
have grown out of the war have yet
to be settled.
The president knew at the beginning.
as the country nov knows. how unpre-
pared we were for. war. We had a
navy which any nation might envy. We
had only the skeleton of an army. To
properly equip and organize an army
of 100000 men and place them in the
field within 80 days Was a tremendous
undertaking.
New questions have grown out OF the
war. New territory has been acquired.
What shall be done with It? Shall we
adopt a colonial poiicy2 What shall
il be? Whatever is done with these
islands we must lift up their semi
barbarous people toward the level CT
American citizenship.
Shall we trust their settlement TO
those who two years ago were max
ing a crusade against law and order.
against American credit and appealing
10 the lowest motives of the citizen:
or shall We stand by the administration
and give to President Mckinley at the
national capital senate and a house
OF representatives who will aid him in
every patriotic endeavor TO carry sound
systems of government into those ISL
ands OF the sea?
THE ISSUE IN EVERY DISTRICT.
The question before the people Is
simply this: rs William Mckinley to
stand alone at one end Of the avenue
with a hostile house and hostile senate
at the other. or are we to stay up the
arms OF that brave. gallant. wise. pa
.riotic president. and give him at the
other end OF the avenue not only a
house Of representatives. but a senate
hat will help to solve these problems7''
In every legislative d.sfrict in the
Rsyston. state where the United States
senatorship is involved. and in every
congressional district, Republicans
must stand by their party nominees at
the November election
They owe this 10 themselves, they
owe ii TO their party. they owe il 20
