hliated with Notre Dame University.
and during his last prep school year he
PLAYED on the varsity team. Had this
been taken as a year IN intercollegiate

in view OF the fact that he was really

played at Notre Dame. the year could
not be considered intercollegiate. and

'KINLEY FAMILY

Rev. Van Schaick Tells In

In the course of. his lecture on "The
Highways and Byways OF Ireland ,' de-

where the Mckinley family originated.
Upon inquiry, Dr. Van Schaick learned
that his companion was a Mckinley and
nearly related 10 the American family.
'sHe was a very modest. intelligent
gentleman" said DR.. Van Schaick, and
he said ne had spent many months
studying the genealOgies or the irish
and American families. and was aDsO-
lutely sure of the connection. The Facts
OF the story that he relates are these:
Driven to America.
sFrancis Mckinley, one Of the ances-
tors of the President, a man OF Scotch
Irish blood lived in Northern Ireland.
in which is now County Antrim. He was
a respectable, honest man. and was
generally liked. In a rebellion, however,

enemies circulated stories that he was

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.
1t Expands Under Republican and Col
Iapses Under Democratic Policiea.

One Of the great arguments of the
free traders has been that with free
trade we would have access to the mar
kets Of the world" Well. the only time
the free traders have had control of
the government in recent years was in
the second Cleveland administration
They did not put actual free trade into
operation. but they came close enough
to it to put most Of the factories Of
this country ont OF operation. We did
not get the markets OF the world. They
may have been open to us, but our man
ufacturrrS were going out of business so
fast. under the ruinous tariff schedules
the Democrats had put into effect, that
they could not seek the markets Of the
world. Their own home market, the best
one to them. was invaded by cheap for
cign goods. however.
Then the protective tariff system was
reinstated by the people OF this country,
and Immediately the factories began to
turn their wheels again. Within ten
years we have demonstrated that the
way to get the markets Of the world
is to protect our own market against
invasion. build up our industries, and
then branch out for foreign trade.
We have not had anything like free
trade within those ten years. and yet we
are selling millions of dollars worth OF
goods every year in the markets Of the
world"
In Congress. last winter. Congressman
Hill. of Connecticut, told of IA recent
visit he had made abroad. lie said
Il stood on the deck OF II Japanese liner
in the harbor Of VladivoStok, Russian
Siberia. In the hold Of that ship was
over 700 tons of American agricultural
implements that had come across the
Pacific ocean from America for the use

there under the Dingley tariff bill. That
night at the hotel | met the represent
ativc Of a locomotive works in Phila'
d"lphia who told me he had just put IN
$50 locomotives. for use in the Siberian
railway. shipped there under the Ding
ley tariff law.
Next day | rode 800 miles mp tbs
banks Of the Amur river over American
steel rails shipped there under the
Dingley tariff law. Then ! got aboard
n steamer To go up the .Amur 1..LD miles

bought n package OF candy, wrapped il
paper on which was printed the pictur,
OF William Mckinley, to popularize lha,
candy among the peasants Of Siberia
all shipped under the Dingley tariff
law"
That looks as IL we had Il slice %,
the markets of the world. but we nevpl
got any where near them under Demo
cratic tariff ideas.
