It is the constitutional mode of ex

lic luws enacted. Through it adminis
trations are changed and administra
tions are made. Through it our whole
governmental machinery is conducted.
It Is indeed a prleelesl inheritance and
should lie valued us such by every
young mull. With the privilege comes
grave responsibilities in its use. It
should express the Intelligence- and '
Judgment and coiifldcnce of the voter.
It should never be employed for any
bast- use. It should lie exercised with
courage, wisdom and patriotism. It
should never, no never, be thrown
ugalnsi the country and should never
represent public dishonor. (Ureal ap
plause.) I recall, youn men, by lirst vote.
With what a thrill of pride 1 exercised
lor the first time the full prerogative of
citizenship. 1 huve nut realized grcul

A I cannot omit here to
QUOTATION miike a quotation from
FROM .Mr. 'Lincoln, written to
ABRAHAM the young men of Illinois
LINCOLN, on June IMS. Mr. Lin
coln said: "Now.astothe
younir men. Von must not wail to be
brought forwnrd by the older men.
You young men gel together; form a
'rough and ready' club and havo reg
ular meetings and siieechex. Take In

along gather un all the shread, wild

or a little under nge. I,et ever' one

speak: some sing; and all holler.
(UtVat laughter and uiplause.) Vnur

older men and wometf will go to hear
you and see it. It IU not only con
tribute to the election of old'hack.
but tt will ho Interesting itastlme and
Improving to the intellectual faculties
of all engaged. Do not fail to do
this." (Or cat applause.)
I commend these homely words of
Mr. Lincoln to the young men or the
country. Such oivanlr.Htic.Ms as he
advises will have powerful Influence lu
the political contest which in now
. upon us. They will not only Inspire
the young men, but will cheer the
hearts of the old guards of the Repub
lican party. (Applause.) Jt Is seldom
given to the first voters of this coun
try to start In so Important a national
contest where so much Is Involved
and where ho many interests are at
stake. It is a year, too, whop old
party divisions count for little, when
men of all parties are united In the
common object to save the country
from dishonor and Its currency from
degradation. It Is always safe, young
gentlemen, to array yourselves on the "
side of your country. "(Applause.) It
Is always wise to stund against law
lessness and repudiation. (Renewed
applause.) It Is always patriotic to
stand against those who are opposed
to law and order ftnd who would ra'se
nriliiclal barriers between classes or
sections In the I'nited States.' (Ureat
Hppluuse.i I congratulate you upon
the glorious opportunities you have,
and appreciating those opportunities, I
am sure you will use them for tho wel
fare of the people and the glory of
the country. (Cheers.)

to open the mills than
to open the mints. (Ureal cheering
and cries of "that's right.") I see that
some of our political adversaries criti
cise the statement, saying that It is
"putting the curt before the horse."
They seem to think that the way to
on the woolen mill, for example. Is
to start a yardstick factory. (Ureal
laughter and applause.) They forget
that you must inuke cloth before the
yard-stick Is required. (Applause.)
tint they say the yardstick is too long.
1 answer, if you make a yardstick
nineteen Inches instead of thirty-six
inches, its present leangth. you will
not Increase the output of cloth, or Its
value, or give an additional days labor
to the American weaver. (Ureal ap
plause.) Nor will a "C'-eont dollar In
crease our Industrial enterprise, add
to the aciunl earnings ot anybody, or
enhance tlie real value of anything.
Ureal applause and tries of "that's
right.") It will wrong labor and
wreck values and has done so when
ever it bus been used. I.Ureal ap
plause.) .More clotii nilKhl require
more yardsticks ilauutiicri, bill more
yardsticks or shorter ones will not
create a demand for inure cloth. (Kc
DeWed laughter and cries of "good,
Kood.") Nor will short dollars from

cries of "JOU are right.") Morn fac

good dollars now in tbeir hldiiiK places
and llnd employment for the good men
now idle at their homes. (Tremen
dous cheering.) Industry must come

the foil udut ion of weal ill: It is the
creator of all wealth. (Applause.)
Us active employment puts money In

THE INDIANA DKt.KC.ATION.
The second and lust deleaat ion today
clinic from M uncle. Ind. Four bunds ef
music accompanied the Indiana visit
ors. After Major McKlnley had tiiiislied
speakinu C. M. Kimhrough. of Muiicle.
presented him with the pictures of the
two Republican national candidates
framed in narrow tu Isteil rolls of
bread from Delaware county, Indiana,
w heal. This uiihitie gift was sent Ma
jor McKlnley by an old soldier, R H.
Rod man.
The spokesman for the Indiana tbde
ttatloii was A. K. Needhuiu. who made
an earnest address. In response Major
McKlnley said.
My fellow-citizens: It is medley for
me to say that I am greatly honored to
receive this cell from my fellow
citizens nf M uncle. I am glad lo meet
the llrst voters, the old veiciate and
ihe citizens generally who huve called
tu give me assurance of support uud
to lender cxprc.ioiis of good will and
congratulations, t must congratulate
Ibis assemblage of Indiaiiiaus upon
the selection of I heir spokesman, who
has delivered before me so able and
elonucm and telling a speech. (Ap
plause.) He has said that "It Is un
derstood I uni no American." That is
ultogether true. (Applause and erics
of "we all know thiu."i
A.MKRICA I believe in America
FuR for Americans uaflve-
AMKMCANS. burn Had naturalized.
iCries nf "good," I be
lieve in ihe American pay roll
(laughter and apdaiiei, and I do not
believe in diminishing l Inn pay roll
by giving work lo anybody else under
another ting while we have got au idle
man under our ling. (Tri iiiendoiis
upplausc.) Four years ago the laborer
was agitating the ipiestion of shorter
hours. We then hud so much to do.
I have heard no discussion of that
kind for four years (laughter and ap
plause), and I have never heard of Ih
iMjrliig man discussing the desirabil
ity nf having short dollars. (Applause.)
The complaint i lie chief cause of
complaint of our opponents is lirst.
that we havo not enough money, and,
second, that our money is tixi good.
(Laughter and applause.) To the llrst
complaint 1 answer that the per capita
of circulating medium In this country
has been greater since the so-called
"crime of 1x7.1" than li ever was be
fore (applause), and that If has been
greater In the last five years ihan It
ever was In nil our history. (Cries of
"that's right.") We have not only got
the best money in the world, but we
have got of li per capltu more than
most of the nations of the world. (Ap
plause.? So that some reason rather
than the Inek of volume of money
must be found lo account for the pres
ent condition of the country.
MONEY , To the second complaint
CANNOT thai our money is too
BB good It would sceni to be
TOO UOOD enough to say that the
money of any country
cannot be too good. The older men of
this audience will remember timt be
fore the war we did business with an
uncertain und fluctuating currency
known us siate bank money. Many of
these banks nnd their notes were abso
lutely sound, but for tho most part
they were subject to a discount. The
totut number of banks In Ikwi, exclu
sive of s(ate bunk branches, was l.f.7.
Of this number "the counterfeit de
tector" then in constant use. reported
:! as "broken, closed, failed, fraudu
lent and worthless." The notes of
these banks were in circulation among
the people and had been received by
them for their good lubor und their
good products. They were absolutely
worthless and or no more value than
the paper on which they were printed.
1'pon whom did this loss fall, my fellow-citizens?
There Is scarcely an old
gentleman in this audience who will
not recall that It fell upon the labor
ing man and the farmers of the I'nited
States. (Cries of "that's light" and
applause.)
I allude to this only to show that
those who suffer ' most from poor
money are the least able to bear tho
los??.
The money Is hard to get Is not be
cause It is scarce, hut because those
who havo It keep It, fearing to loan It
becauso of the unsettled business con
dition of the country. The threat of
free silver is driving our money Into
hbllug today; the wuy to bring it out
is to restore confidence, and how will
you resore confidence? Tho way to re
store coulldence is to detent through
the ballot the party that destroyed
coulldence. The way to restore pros
perity is to defeat through the ballot
those who have destroyed prosperity.
(Tremendous applause.)
TUB WAY We cannot vesiore the
TO business of the country so 4
RKSTORK long as we do ho much of
Bl'SINKSS. our business abroad. -t
us bring ii back homo
again for our ow n ieoplo and our own
labor. (Continuous cheering. I We
do not believe that the way to restore
confidence Is through the mints of the
fulled States. (Cries of"no. no,"
"You are right.") Wo can only re
store confidence and prosisirlty, not
through a debased currency, but
through a policy that will restore the "
wasted revenues to the public treasury u.
und rekindle tires In Ameifcan work
shops. (Great cheering.) fc
