symptoms-they were sleep-walkers. overac-

there was . pressure Of activity which kept
them wearing themselves out. Or they were
irritable and quarrelsome. Or they had fears
and anxieties. and perhaps they stammered.
Or possibly they had merely been kept from

there was something about their clothes or
their homes and parents that they were

1s9s-June, Mckinley nominated
for president by the Repub-
lican national convention at
St Louis. November, cleo.
ted.
Although William Mckinley was
described by his opponents as "a
statesman with his ear to the
| ground" he failed to hear the
warning rumble Of the mighty con-
| flict of forces which was to shake
the parties and the country to their
foundations In the approaching
campaign of 1896, the most excit-
ing in our political history. Until
that great battle between gold and
silver was full upon him, Mckin-
ley looked forward to a one-sided
contest on the tariff question and
an easy victory for himself as 1.-THE
advance agent for prosperity" and
the herald of "the full dinner pail"
Protection had been his special
| ty, and naturally he preferred to
prescribe his own favorite panacea
| for the ills of the country. On the
subject of the gold standard he was
| rather lukewarm, having started
out in congress as a free silver
man and having voted afterward
/! for all the compromise silver leg
islation.
Republican leaders generally
land particularly those west of the
Alleghenies dreaded to take a
stand for gold in 1896. They had
been timidly straddling the ques-
ton for 20 years and throwing
sops to the silver sentiment, and
they shrank now from squarely
facing the issue.
The Ohio state convention NOM
mated Mckinley in March on a
meaningless platform. On the eve
/. of the st. Louis convention in June,
he drafted for the national plat
form a money plank which warily
stunned the word gold. Even aft
er the convention had cast this
aside and nominated him for'pres-
ident on a fiat declaration for, the
gold standard, he still chung to the
tariff as the main issue.
81 am tariff man, standing on
tariff platform" he said to his
friends. 1.-THE money matter is I'M
duly prominent. In 30 days you
won't hear anything of it" In 30
DAYS it was the only question that
the people would talk about. To-
ward the end of August he reluct-
antly sidetrackcd protection and
nut gold first in his letter OF ac-
ceptance.
The Democrats had come out for
free silver and Bryan was riding
the high tide Of his sensational
campaign for 16-to-1. Silver men
and silver states had bolted the
Republican ticket, and it had be-
come startingly plain that Mckin-
lev must win the votes of hundreds
lof thousands of Cleveland Demo-
Gratis, who were for gold, but who
were also opposed to a high tariff.
At McKinley's back in the fight
lstood Marcus Alonzo Hanna OF
Ohio. This multimillionaire had
transferred his genius for organ
ization from the iron, coal and
| shipping industry when Grover
Cleveland challenged in 1887 the

protection which his great bus,.
ness enjoyed and he had iumped
into politics with a determinstioh
to put an Ohio protectionist d
Cleveland's place.
After making a losing fight for
the nomination of John Sherman
in 1888, Mark Hanna turned to Nc.
Kinley. Together they made lust
the team that was needed for 4
business campaign like that Of
1896.
The big railroads, banks, mines
and manufacturing concerns had
been for many years the ruling
force in politics. They were The
so-called invisible government"
controlling legislation and The
courts by controlling the nominAt-
ing machinery of both parties IN
state and nation.
A prudent business in those days
took care to have Democratic -
well as Republican partners or d.
rectors. and these saw that their
respective parties put up SAFE
candidates on safe" platforms
Having thus assured themselves
that their interests would not lose
whichever side won, they contrib
uted to the rival parties the money
that enabled the politicians to con-
duct campaigns full of sound and
fury, but signifying little.
In the disruption of the Demo
cratic party, the larger wing at the
Chicago convention of 1886 slipped
out of control of the system
adopted a radical platform and pro-
ceeded to run wild. The Interests
saw themselves threatened for the
first time with the loss of political
power, and that prospect alarmed
the more than Bryan's slogan Of
16-to-1.
At this critical juncture Hanna
stepped to the front, incorporating
Mckinley's candidacy on business
principles, capitalizing- the fears OF
the business world and inducing
it to underwrite the campaign with
staggering fund. The swift ude
that ran against the Republicans
in July was turned in September;
but money did not do it. The men
who gave the money did it. They
took off their coats and plunged 10
to save the investment in Repuph-
can success, which Hanna had per-
suaded them to make, and their N
fiuence and example were worm
more to him and Mckinley tnaa
all their dollars.

lost in the world alone ant didn't
know what to do with the moRcs
