gloomy throughout the day. The rain
detracted in some degree from the en-
joyment of the exercises of the blue
and gray reunion at Evansville, in
which the president and the members
of the cabinet participated, but nothing
could altogether dampen the ardor Of
the throng which had gathered to greet
the chief magistrate. At every station
between Evansville and Chicago the
crowds We're large and enthusiastic and
at most of them the president made
brief remarks.
Among the first to greet the presi-
dent at Terra Haute was the venerable

introduced to an enthusiastic crowd by
Congressman Joseph G. Cannon. In
the course of speech there the pres-
dent said: we are collecting just now
million dollars for every working day
of the month from our internal revenue
taxes, and you don't seem to be very
much oppressed here on that account.
We are collecting about $650,000 every
working day Of every month from the
tariff that we put on foreign products
that come into the United States from
cher countries, and that does not seem
to give you any serious trouble here.

ey received in the treasury daily from
internal taxes and customs tariffs meets
the ordinary expenses of the govern
ment, and just now a part of it is used
to pay the soldiers and sailors who are
engaged in the distant islands suppress
ing rebellion against the sovereignty of
the United States. And you can be as
sured that not a dollar of it will go out
except for honest purposes While your
distinguished representative presldes
over the committee of appropriations"
At Hopeston, H., President Mckinley
said: We have seen a great many
people to-day; we have been greeted
by many, many thousands Of our fell
low citizens. From the appearance and
cheerfulness of the people it has seemed
to me that all things must be going
fairly well with you; that you have
employment at fair wages; that you
have good crops, at fair prices; and
that your great industry here. that of
canning, is in every respect most salts
factory and successful. I congratulate
you that you are now using American
tin, for that is now one of the great
enterprises of the country" (Great APP

serve their country. and they will not
abate their patriotism until every re-

being done and what will be done"
