Will Not Seek to Repudiate One
Uollur t'It or flicnpcn the Coin in
Which It Is to Ue I'uid.
Canton. Ohio.. Sept. 11. In replying
to a delegation from Vermont, who
called on him today, Majur McKlnley
said in part:
Some of Ihe newspapers have asked me
to Interpret the results of the elections
In Vermont on September first, but It
seems to me that they are their own best
Interpreter. (I.auiihter and npplaus").
They have simply declared what any stu
dent of our history must already have dis
covered, that your thoughtful and pa
triotic citizens are as true us ever aye.
truer than ever, to the tenets of good mor
uls. Rood politics and good government.
(Applause). They have shown by their
ballots, by n greater preponderance than
ever, that they are more devoted to the
honor of the government, to Ihe mainttn
nnce of law and order, nnd the restora
tion of a sound, wise and economic sys
tem which has always been our chief pride
and source of strength, than at any pre
vious period In our eventful history. (Ap
plause. The value of your example Is
certainly greater than ever In the past as
the Issues on w hich your victory was won
are tlie same as those which now engage
the attention of the entire country. The
free silver orators and organs of Vermo'it,
illy concealed, if they did not positively
assert, that which Is being proclaimed
everywhere, that their solicitude is the re
lief of the debtors, no matter at what sac
rifice of the plainest precepts of good mor
als. In no case and at no point do they
propose a system to pay our national and
private obligations on plain, old-fashioned
principles of good faith and honesty which
have always heretofore distinguished the
American people. (Applause). Practically
admitting that the effect of the free, un
united and Independent coinage of silver
would bo an Immense loss to the savings
and resources of our people, and that Its
adoption would reduce the plane of th-ir
social and Industrial condition, they et
seriously propose that we shall risk this
hazardous experiment. Vcrtuon has said
in tones that cannot be misunderstood,
that she will have nothing to do with that
fatal experiment. ((Ireat applause nnd
cries of "good, good."). Indeed, I hey are
urging us to attempt by legislation to
make fifty cents worth of silver to pass
current as a legal tender one hundred cent
dollar, good for all public and private ob
ligations. The mere statement of Ihe
proposition ought lead to its instant rejec
tion. We cannot by law make every man
honest, but we certainly will never make
a law encouraging iheni to be dishon-.'st.
(Applause). To me, the ipustlon of fr"
trade Is a ipiestlou of Immunity, the voice
of labor pli-aiHmr for Us own, and the ipie:
ilu of 'ree sliver is u question of public
morality, honor and good fulth, and Its
siicces would h a blot on our hitherto
spotless national credit. (Applause and
cries of "good"). Obscure the real Issues,
and it linaly resolves itself into that, lull
will It prtvuil? No, I answer, forever i.o.
(Oheers).
FAITH IN A.M I! HI CAN PKOPLK.
The American people as a nation, like
those or the state of Verriiont. ure entire
ly above so unworthy on imputation. (Ap
plause!. A people that could, us a weak
and struggling confederacy of less than
live million Inhabitants, emerge from an
eight years' war of blight and destruction
nnd proceed Immediately to gather up and
pay on Its enormous revolutionary debt.
Including the independent debt of all
states, agregatlng $135,lKJO,tXW or $27 per cap
ita at the time of Us assumption, will not
falter nt the present temptation. (Cheers
and cries of "that's right, good. good"!.
A people whocotild tax themselves ni"st
heavily to equip and maintain the armies
and navies of the I'nlon and continue the
most extensive and expensive war in his
tory, will not turn their backs upon thu
soldiers of that war, nor seek to pay their
pensions In dollars worth only half their
face value. (Ureal cheering and cries of
"good"). A people who emerged from
that war with un Interest bearing debt if
$2,3s2.C"0.i. or $70 per capita for our en
tire population In 1Ki!5, will not now, after
having honestly paid three-fourths of that
great debt, ever seek directly or indirect
ly to repudiate one dollar of It or cheapen
the coin of payment. (Applause and cries
of "good. Major"). I say who proceeded
in good faith to pay off that debt with such
unparalleled rapidity, which It was esti
mated In 1SH, up to that time, they had
paid $12:1 for every minute of every day
of every yeur from I8U5 to 1SS8, will not
now palter, bargain or scheme to de
fraud any creditor of the government,
whoever or wherever he may be. (Tre
mendous aplause and cries of "good, hur
rah for McKlnley"), '
WILL PAY THE DEBT3.
A people who hud the satisfaction of
seeing thut debt reduced to $5H5,UU0.!hJil on
Match S, 1SWI, at the c lose of the splendid
administration of President Harrison (ap
plause), will readily und quickly meet
both the remainder of the old debt and all
that hns been made since (laughter), nnd
puy it off, principal and Interest, in the
best money of the world and recognized
by the civilized nations to both best at
the time of payment. (Loud applause).
Just as President Jackson paid olT tin
last of the revolutionary debt, sixty years
or more after the tlrst of It had been con
tracted. This, my fellow citizens of Ver
mont, Is the faith that the election in your
state inspires in me, but that Is not all.
In the verdict I see the unalterable de
termination of the people of the United
States, for whom she had the honor lirst
to speak, to restore the protective tarilT
system once more to our statute books.
(Ureal, cheering), Vermont Is on agricul
tural Btute, but her keen, sagacious und
honest farmers know full well the value
of protection and Its twin sister, reciproc
ity. (Applause and cries of "that's right").
They have prollted by the experience.
They have examined both their stock
books and their store books, 'and they had
plenty of timo to do It (laughter) in the
last three years, and have learned that
their products have been worth less than
at any time for a long series of years.
The farmers of this country want a pro
tective tariff (applause nnd cries of "that's
right, they do"), and they mean to have
It (great cheering), so, too, will our farm
ers everywhere divide, they are naturally
conservative, and their unerring common
sense and common honesty will lead them
quickly to detect the fallacies or free sil.
ver Just as they have learned the ratslty
of the falluciea of free trade. (Applause),
THE SPEECH ON LINCOLN.
Mr. McKinley Pays a Tribute to the
Memory of the Martyred President.
Canton, O., Sept. 11. Three governors
clasped hands with Major McKlnley to
day and visitors from the Green moun
tains of Vermont joined with others
from Narragansett Bay, from North
western Pennsylvania end from Ohio In
greeting and cheering; the Republican
candidate for the presidency. Major
McKlnley had more than three thou
sand callers today and shok hands with
all of them and listened to their cordial
words and expressions of Rood wishes.
The first delegation to arrive was that
rrom Vermont.
An hour and a half after the Ver
monters had departed the sound of
marching feet und the inspiring music
or bands were again heard and 2.500
citizens of Lorain county. Ohio, filed
Into .Major McKinley's yard and wedged
themselves Into an almost solid muss.
Following closely after the Lorain
county people was a delegation from
Kile. Pa., consisting of the Lincoln club
of thut city and delegates to the league
convention recently held in Krie.
The noonday sun was llery hot nnd
three people succumbed to its ardent
rays nnd were carried unconscious from
the dense crowd which surged around
the porch. When Major McKlnley ap
peared there was a shout that was
heard Mocks away. Judge John W.
Steele, of Oberlln, spoke in behalf of the
people of Lorain county.
Judge J. F. Downing spoke for the
Erie people.
By consolidating the delegation from
Lorain county with that from Kile, Pu
.Major .McKlnley was able to make one
speech answer for the visitors from
both places. Ho said:
MA.IOIS M KIXLKY S REMARKS.
Ladles and gentlemen ami my fellow
cltlzens: There are represented In this great as
semblage todav citizens from the stale or
Pennsylvania and citizens from our own
state. There are assembled here Ihe citi
zens of Lorain county. Dido, the Lincoln
cluli. of the city of Krie. Pa., and repre
sentatives of the IU-piiblican league uf
the state of Pennsylvania, which only yes
lerdav adjourned in the city or Krie. iou
are lieie from different sections of the
country, yo'i are here representing differ
ent occupations und callings In life, but
you ure all here with a common purpose,
all here siih a niinnmii aim und all march
ing under the same glorious old Hag. (Tre
mendous riles of "Hurrah for .McKlnley").
I hid each and everyone of you welcome to
mv home. 1 know many of my own rel
ieve citizens or Ohio who do me honor by
their vis-it today. (Applause). 1 know
something of the gleal resources or Lo
rain county and of its splendid agricid
t iii-.il lan-ls, lis great port on the lake and
Its manufacturing industries, but above
all I know and value the splendid spirit or
loyalty und patriotism of Us people,
(lireat cheering). I bid the Lincoln dull,
of the city of Krie. welcome lo my home.
Von bear the most honored name In Re
publican annals and none Is more illus
trious In Die annals or our country a
name which belongs noi to a single city,
a single slate, lo any aggregation of dubs,
but to the whole American people. It Is
not the properly of any political party, but
belongs to the utfes. (lireut applause).
II Is full, of Inspiration and embolics ev
ery Republican doctrine and represents
tile best aims and purposes of American
citizenship. I doubt if there Is any other
name 'n American history which more
fully t.v pities tlx possibilities and triumphs
of American opport unity than that of
Abraham Lincoln. ( 'heel's).
LINCOLN'S I.1PK.
His life and career put to shame the
false doctrine now so Insidiously promul
gated, that there are class divisions In the
I'nlled Stales. iTremeiidous upplausc and
clies of "good"i. lluuihle of birth, sur
rounded by poverty, forced by circum
stances lo acquire unaided whatever edu
cation he had, lie forged his way lo Ihe
rr.uit, reselling tile highest place In the
gil'tli of a tree people and tlie greatest
place in the world, (lireut applause and
cries or ' We'll put McKlnley there too").
He demonstrated while In office wonderful
ability and met every public exigency In
the most tr;.ln;; years in our history with
cunsuiniitat" saga city and strength. It Is
gratifying to us to know that on the great
questions which are dividing us this year,
Mr. Lincoln sinnd from the beginning i f
his early manhood where we stand to
day. We have the satisfaction of know
ing that In the present strangle we are
close u him und have his approval uf lite
great principles we advocate. (Applause),
No man has shown more thorough knowl
edge of the tariff nnd its effects upon do
mestic prosperity than he. Porty-three
yi-ara ago he made an uddress upon the
s.ibject of tariff and taxation and their
lullueiiee upon the condition of ihe coun
try which I do not think has been ex
celled by nuvbnily before or since. It Is
peculiarly applicable to tlie present l.il
uaiion. .Mr. Lincoln said: "The lirst of
our resolutions declares a tariff of duties
upon foreign importations, producing suf
tlch nt revenue lor the support of the gen
eral government ami so adjusted as to pro
tect American industry, lo be Indispen
sably necessary to the prosperity of the
American people, and lite second ileelares
direct taxation for a national revenue to
be Improper." (Applause). Listen to his
description of the condition or the coun
try nt the lime when he spoke and how viv
idly it portrays ihe times in which we live:
"Por several years pasl tlie revenues of
the govennnent have been unequal to Us
expenditure and consequently loun lifter
loan, sometimes indirect in form, has
been resorted lo, by Hils means u new na
tional debt has been created and Is still
growing on us with rapidity fearful to con
template a rapidity only reasonably to
be expected In time of war," vou w'otild
think that Abraham Lilc oln was describ
ing three years from 1M to 1!!M. (Great
applause i.
Is ii any wonder then the national con
Ventlon met in Chicago .May 17. IS'lil, the
second uatlvtial assemblage of the great
Republican party, that the following reso
lution was passed which is the same doc
trine that we advocate now :
"Resolved, That while providing revenue
for the support or the general government
by duties on Imports, sound policy requires
such un adjustment of these imports as
io encourage the development of tne In
dustrial interests or the whole country
and we commend that policy of nation-il
exchanges which secures to the working
men liberal wages, to agriculture remun
erative prices, to mechanics and manu
factures an adequate return for their skill
labor and enterplrse. und to the nation's
commercial prosperity and independence."
The Republican party has always been
Ihe party of your lofty purposes, it never
had an aim from the lirst moment or Its
existence until now which did not em
brace the common good or all. (Loud up
plausc and cries of "that's right") Tt
never rbught a battle ogainst liberty 'nnd
equality (Applause). It never struck a
blow except for mankind. (Applause). It
was organized In conscience. (Renewed
applause). No political party has been
formed since the beirlntiing of time which
so appeals lo the Intelligence, enthusiasm
and conscience of the young men (and tlie
old men) os the Republican purtv. ((treat
appluuse nnd cries of "that's right") It
never waged a contest In ull It's glorious
past which more strongly appeals lo the
best sentiments and the noblest alms cl
both young und old as loday. It deals will!
the problems and issues of the day wh'eh
ure vital to the welfare or the country
and maintains the lorty purpose which has
characterized it from the beginning. It
stands for country now and will guard
with sleepless vigilance its honor as It
guarded Its life in the mightiest crisis In
our history. (Ureal cheering and cries or
"you bet It will.")

DANGEROUS CREED
OF TALKER BRYAN
Attorney General Harmon's Opinions
Upon States' Rights.
DOESN'T ADMIRE CHICAGO PLATFORM
The Attorney Gcuernl falls Atten
tion to the Dangerous Elcmeuts of
Mr. Bryan's Doctriue.-IIe Also
Quotes from t'onveutiou Kesolu
tions of 1894.
Washington, Sept. 11. Attorney Gen
eral Judson Harmon today made pub
lic his views respecting; the political sit
uation, especially emphasizing; his opin
ion on the question of "federal Inter
ference In local affairs," on which sub
JecUlie attorney general does not agree
with the protest embodied In the Chica
go platform. Mr. Harmon's commun
ication, which Is lengthy, says:
"Mr. Bryan, in his letter accepting
the nomination for president by the
convention at Chicago, amplifies the
protest which that convention made in
Its platform against federal Interfer
ence In local affairs, which strangely
enough Is not found In the platforms
of the other two conventions which
have al?o nominated him.
"These protests were Intended and
nre understood to be directed against
the recent action of the president in
forcibly suppressing riotous disorders
which had Btopped the carriage of th
mails and lnter-state commerce and
were defying the civil officers of tlie
I'nlted States. The president took this
action not only without the request,
but In some Instances against the pro
test, of the authorities of the states In
which the riots occurred and Mr. Bryan
taking section four of article 4 of the
constitution to be the luw on the sub
ject, pledges himself against any repe
titions of the violation thereof, which
Ids letter necessarily charges. He vin
dicates the wisdom of the framers of
the constitution by declaring that the
local authorities nre better qualified
than the president to judge of the nec
essity for federal assistance. This, in
my judgment is a far more serious
matter than the money question or any
of the questions now before the people,
grave as they all are,
"But by the1 express terms of the
constitution a state has nothing to do
with the maintenance of the authority
of the executions of the laws of the
i'nlted States within the territory oftho
state. The prevention and punishment
of offences connected with the mulls,
with lnter-state commerce and with
the administration of Justice in the
federal courts, are committed to the
generul government and to It alone.
Therefore, the stt cannot require
protection against them. The state
has no duties to discharge in these
matters.
RK5HT OF THE UNITKD STATES.
"This sovereign right of the I'nlted
States necessarily follows Its oflicera
nnd agents everywhere they go pro
tecting and maintaining them in the
discharge of their duties. Congress has
accordingly by section 52H7 of the re
vised statutes authorized the president
to use the armed forces of the govern
ment in aid of state authorities when
requested by them as provided In the
constitutional and also by the following
section r.2!8, authorized him to employ
such forces, upon his own judgment
along, ugainst unlawful obstructions,
combination or assemblages of per
sons, In whatever state or territory
thereof the luws of the United States
may be forcibly opposed or the exe
cution thereof forcibly obstructed.
"It was under the power conferred
by this last section that the lute re
bellion wns suppressed. Mr. Hryan's
doctrine that this law is unconstitu
tional is more dangerous than that of
secession." In conclusion, General At
torney Harmon quoted a resolution
adopted by the Senate on July 12, 1891,
which was proposed by Senator Daniel
of Virginia, who was president of the
convention which nominated Mr.
Bryan, endorsing the prompt and vig
orous measures adopted by the presi
dent and the members of his admin
istration to repulse by military force,
the interference of luwless men with
the due process of the luws of the
I'nlted States.
MORE RIOTING FEARED.
Shops in Unlntit nnd Mnmbnul Closed
Because, of the Danger.
Constantinople, Sept. 11. Pears are
entertained here of a renewal of the
recent disorders, and these apprehen
sions have caused a panic among the
general public. The shops at (lal.ita
and Stamboul were closed at an early
hour today, owing to a rumor that fresh
manifestations were being organized.
Trade is almost at a standstill, and the
lack of money in the Turkish treasury
is a serious feature of the situation.
Fifteen army officers who went to the
war office to claim their arrears of pay
were informed that there were no funds
with which to pay them. The officers

AGAINST MERGENTHALER.
Commissioner of Patents Rules That W.
S. Cudder Is the Inventor of the
Linotype Machine.
Washington Sept. 11. The commis
sioner of patents husi reversed the de
cision of tlie examlners-in-chlef In the
case of W. S. Cudder vs. Ottmar Mer
ganthaler as to priority of invention
In line- casting machines and awarded
the case to Soudder. He finds "that
Sctidder conceived the Invention as an
organized product of the intellect as
early as May, 18!H), that he proceeded
thence, under all the circumstances of
the case, with reasonable dilligenee to
the construction of hut complicated,
costly, but entirely successful second
machine in October, ISM, and therefore
priority of Invention is a warded to Scud
der and the decision of the examlners-In-chlef
is reversed."
The patent controverted by the In
terference decided by the commissioner.
It is said by one of the parties Interested
In the case. Is for a minor part of the
type setting machine and the decision
will have no practical bearing upon the
situation until after the expiration of
the buslo patent of the Mergenthnler
machine.
