expenditures in the postoffice depart
ment and the committee on rules. When
General Garfield received the nomina-
ton for the presidency, Mr.. Mckinley
was assigned to the vacancy on the
committee on ways and means. ne
served on the last mentioned committee
until the expiration Of his last term as
representative. While chairman of this
committee he framed the Mckinley bill,
which afterward became. a law.
Mckinney was protege OF ex-Presi-
dent Hayes, and up to the time Of the
latter's death he recognized the ex-
president as his adviser and counselor.
He was In General Hayes regiment
during the civil war; General Hayes
knew him and his father well, and saw
in the dashing young cavalier the germ
Of greatness. He needed counselor,
an adviser, friend, and General
Hayes watched over him with the
f1lial love. devotion and pride Of a
father.
The war ended, Mckinley still re-
mained an object of hope, Of interest
and pride to General Hayes. McKin-
ley became candidate for congress
and was elected. When Hayes was
president Mckinley was in the house
of representatives The major was a
frequent welcome visitor at the White
House. One day the president gave
Mckinley advice, which made McKin-
ley the foremost champion of a pro-
tectiye tariff. President Hayes thus

poke to the young representative:

spoke to the young representative:
"To achieve success and fame you
must pursue a special line. You must
not make a speech on every motion
offered or bill introduced. You must
confne yourself to one particular
thing. Become a specialist. Take up
some branch Of legislation and make
that your study. Why not take up the
subject OF tariff? Being subject that
will not be settled for years to come.
it offers great field For study and a
chance for ultimate fame.''
With these words ringing in his ears
Mckinley began studying the tariff
and soon became the foremost author
ity on the subject.
The day upon which the mckinley
tariff bill'' was passed in the house
must always stand as the supreme mo-
ment of McKinley's congressional ca
reer. The bill, by adroit parliamentary
generalship which had prevented 1t
from being weighed down with amend
ments not approved by the committee,
had been brought under the operation
Of the previous question. It stood COM
plete, ready to 60 forth for good or
evil. Upon Mckinley devolved the task
of smoothing its path and speeding it

this that the incident when he sudden
ly drew from beneath his desk the suit
of clothes which he purchased for $40
at the establishment of fellow repre-
sentative in Boston, in order to demon
strate the cheapness of wearing ap-
|parel. stands out with vivid distinct
ness.
It was this earnestness and self con-
yiction that made Mckinley's address
in the house and on the stump SO effec-
tive. Indeed the occasion is still re-
called when he held an audience Of
Georgia people for two hours at a
Chautauqua assembly near Atlanta
while he preached to them the glories
Of the protective tariff system. 'It
was only by the greatest self control"
said the late Henry w. Grady, speak
ing of this event afterward, that

Kinley concluded his wonderful speech
and declaring myself henceforth ready

james G.. Blaine in his Twenty
Years of Congress" reviewed the For
ty-ffth congress. in which Mckinley
first sat, as follows: ''William McKin-
ley, Jr., entered from the Canton dis
trict. He enlisted in an Ohio regiment
when but IL years old and won the
rank of major by meritorious service.
The interest Of his constituency and
his own bent of mind led him to the
study of Industrial questions, and he
was soon recognized in the house as
one of the most thorough statisticians
and one of the ablest defenders Of the
doctrine Of protection"
At a great mass meeting in Indian
apolis several years ago the late ex-
President Harrison was presiding OFF,
Ger. Mckinley was one of the speak
ers, and Harrison introduced him as
follows:
"He has endeared himself to all by
his record as gallant young soldier
battling for the flag. He has honored
himself, his state and the country by
his conspicuous services in high legis-
latiye and executive places. No man
more than he is familiar with the ques-
tions that now engage public thought.
No man is more able than he lucidly to
set them before the people. do not

regular army. But to this his parents
offered strong opposition. They point
ed out the small rewards that come to
the soldier in time of peace. At length
he yielded to their persuastons and re-
luctantly gave up his dreams Of mar
tial glory and bent his mind upon the
pursuits of peace. The war had ended
all thought Of collegiate career. He
cast about for a profession, and natu-
rally, considering the bent Of his mind,
he chose the law. He became student
in the Offices Of Charles E. Glidden
and David Wilson, then leaders Of the
Mahoning county bar. He supplement-
ed his reading by taking the course at
the Albany Law school and in 1867
was admitted to the bar. He located
at Canton, where he formed partner
ship with Judge Belden.
He, was an excellent advocate, even
in those early days, and nude some Of
the best jury arguments ever heard at
the Stark county bar. At the time he
was first elected to congress he enjoyed
one Of the best general practices in the
county.
AS a lawyer Mr.. Mckinley was al
ways thorough and careful in the prep
aration Of cases. He had the confidence
Of every body and soon became particu-
larly prominent as an advocate. He
prepared himself by thorough courses
Of reading for his public career. He re-
semb1ed Garfield much In this respect
and possessed elements Of strength by
reason Of his thorough study Of polit-
ical subjects. He seems to have had in
view from the beginning the devotion
of his life to public service. During all
his early professional years heawas an
active participant. in, Republican cam
paigns and early gave evidence of the
power he later developed as public
speaker and orator. The plan Of his
political speaking was always the same.
He first thoroughly mastered 1.-The sub
ject in hand and then presented it forci-
