Milwaukee. Oct. 1S.-Notwithstand-
ing the fact that President Mckinley
did not retire until four o'clock Tues
day morning, being kept up by the ban
quet given by the Milwaukee Merchants
and Manufacturers association, he was
up bright and early and at $3.50 o'clock
the party was driven out to the national
soldiers home, in the extreme western
portion of the city. Arriving at the
home, the presidents salute of 81 guns
was fired by the First light battery,
W. y. G. The presidential party made
a circuit of the beautiful grounds in
carriages. The president addressed a
few words of greeting TO the old veter-
ans. and as the time for making the
train was very limited, took hurried
departure. The streets which were trav-
ersed by the presidential party were
thronged with people, including many
thousand school children, the entire
distance and the president was kept
busy bowling his acknowledgements of
the hearty greeting. The return trip
from the soldiers home grounds was
made via the south side. On arriving at
the f. p. Allis works, the president was
greeted by 1000 artisans who had
stopped work few moments in order
to see the nations chief executive. The
presidents carriage halted long enough
for the president to thank the workmen
for the greeting extended. He said he
was glad to know that it was not neces-
sary for workmen to seek employment,
but that the employers were seeking
workmen.
The president bade good-by to Wis
consin's metropolis few minutes after
IL o'clock, bound for Chicago. Short
stops were made at Racine and Ke-
nosha.
Address at Racine.
Racine. Wis, Oct. 1S.-The presiden-
tial special arrived here at so o'clock.
Several thousand people greeted the
president, who spoke from the rear
platform.
The president in his remarks said:
This is a nation of high privileges and
great opportunity We have the free
school, the open Bible. the freedom of re-
ligious worship and conviction without re-
straint. We have the broadest opportunity
for advancement with every door open.
The humblest among you may aspire to the
highest pace in public favor and conf
dence. AS a result of our splendid free in
situations the great body of men who con-
troll public affairs in state and nation, who
control the great business enterprises of
the country, the railroads and other great
industries, came from the humble Ameri-
can home and from the ranks Of the plain
people of the United States. / have no
sympathy with that sentiment which
would divide my country into classes.
have no sympathy with hat sentiment that
would put the rich man on the one side and
the poor man on the other-labor on one
side and capital on the other, because all
of them are equal before the law, all of
them have equal power in the conduct of
the government. Every mans vote in the
United States is the equal of every other
on that supreme day when we choose rulers
and congresses and governors and legisla
lures. Our citizens may accumulate great
wealth. and many of them do; but they
cannot take Ii with them, nor can they en-
tail 1t from generation to generation. He
who inherits must keep it by his own pru-
denee or sagacity. II he does not 1t is di-
vided up among his fellows
