MA.IOK MKIXLEY'S REM A It ICS.
Mr. McKlnley spoke us follows to the
I 'raw ford county delegation:
My fellow eitir.eiK ul Crawford .'utility
and of the city of .Meadvllle, pa.:- Ii i;lv
me genuine pleasure lu greet and welcome
you here at my home. I remember a year
ago to have visited yoiu- city and county,
and I shall never forget the warm welcome
which I received from III'' fuculty an. I stu
dent uf Allegheny college uhd from the
old huldlers of Northwestern Pennsylva
nia lapplanse). unit I am delluhied to have
a (notion of yon lelurii my call. (Ki iiew.'d
applause, i
I recall with sensations of phasure and
ratisiai tion I lie brief time I spent ill old
Alien lieiiy college. It is anions i he di ar
rM inettniilt s of my life. Thut old insiit l
la.u only a year orrferivil upon me a
ver)' iilsttngiilshfd honor. I trust 1 mav
never lisapiiolnt Its conlUtence. (Aipluue
i.n. I cries of "you never will.") 1 recall,
loo, that from the walls of old Allegheny
went out the young men to do buttle for
their country, and none did better service
for the union mi, I the Hag than the young
men who went from that institution and
Horn the other great Institutions of Mia
country and from the schools of the land,
t Applause. 1 Your county Is a Republican
county. (Cries of "you bet It is." Dr.
Flood ha- already stated that you have
received a banner for having given the
largest .Republican majority. 1 trust that
majority will not be decreased in IWi, (Ap
plause and cries of "not any.") No mat
ter what may be our occupations In life,
we are all Interested In good works. We
are all interested In good laws, and we are
till Interested In having general prosper
ity. (Cries of "that's right.") Unfortun
ately we have not enjoyed general- pro
perlty In the last four years. Times have
been Intnl. business Mas been depressed;
workingmen have been Idle; farmers we-s
unable to receive Just reward for their
husbandry, and now the thought of the
people ami the desire of the people is to
return to the good times of 18s:! (great
applause); times from which we ran
a wny which we have been regretting ever
since. (Applause nnd cries of "that's
right.")
NO IDLE MEN WANTED.
Xow, my fellow-citizens, what we wint
this year Is to cast our ballots for that
party and for those principles which will
secure to us the greatest prosperity. (Ap
plause and cries of "that's what we
want.") We want no Idle men In the
United States. (Great upplause.) We
want no idle mills in the United States
(renewed applause), and to the end th.it
we may have nelthff Idle mills nor Idle
men. we must do oift work in the United
Slutes (great cheering), and not outside
of the United States. (Renewed cheering
and cries of "that's the stuff.") You may
disagree with me, hut I believe in a pro
tective tariff. (Tremendous applause an. I
cries of "so do we.") I always have so he
lleveil and I have never felt called upon
to make any apology to anyiiody any
where (cries of "good, good, you don't
have to'V for having been devoted to the
great people which promotes and encour
ages American development and gives em.
ploymenl and good wages to American
workingmen. (Tremendous cheering.)
Then, my fellow-etiy,ens, having secured
a turlff that will defend American Inter
ei'ts, we want to continue the use of the
good dollars we have had since 1i7!'.
(Orent applause.) We want no dinned
coins In the United States. t Renewed
applnuse.t We want no debnsed dollars
any more than we want debased labor
applause) and when men have Kiven a
full day's work to an American employ r
we want that American employer to pav
In dollars as good as any dollar anywhere
in the World and worth UK) cents every day
and everywhere. (Tremendous cheering.)
Then, my fellow-citizens, we want another
thing; we want peace and tranquility in
the Untied States (loud applause); we
want It established once for all that this
Is a government of law and by law, and
now, as always, we are law-abiding peo
ple. I Renew ed applause. ) There- is one
tiling we are proud of. and that Is the Re
publican purty can submit Its principles
to the wotklngmen. lo the farmer, to the
student, to the scholar, to those of every
veiling of profession with connVlence,
because those principle! are right and
eternal. (Ureal cheering.)
I thank you most heartily, gentlemen,
for the kindness and courtesy of this call.
Yotl have traveled a long distance, not to
see me. nor to honor me. but to honor the
great cause whlcii, for the moment. I rep
resent (applause), and to lestil.v bv vour
presence your devotion to the great prin
ciple of the Republican party In which
you believe is enveloped the highest pros
perity of the citizen and the greatest
glory of the republic. (Oreat applause.)
THE WYANDOTTE VISITORS.
The third delegation was from Wyan
dotte county. Ohio. It anked about
noon and niatvlied at once to Major Mc
Klnley house. The spokesmen Were
General T. M. Klrby und p. Cuneo, a
Republican editor, who IS a native of
Genoa. Italy. In response to thu re
marks of the spokesmen, Major McKln
ley made a brief speech.
After the speet hiiiuking Major Mc
Klnley shook hands with his Wyan
dotte county visitors; He scarcely had
time to eat his luncheon, when the
found of advancing footsteps was
heard, und the fourth and lust delega
tion it the day arrived. It was Tlttln
and Seneca county, Ohio, delegates, and
was large and enthusiastic.
Tomorrow there are seventeen dele
gation expected to .visit Major McKln
ley. They will bring In the argregate
more than :o,000 visitors to Canton.
One railway company has) arranged for
fourteen special trains. Major McKin
lcy ha found it necessary to make his
speeches shorter. All of his speeches
Saturday, except one, will be brief. To
day he made hit longest speech to a
delegation from Seneca county, Ohio.
It was a wool speech and was largely
addressed to the wool producing states.
Major McKlnley said:. .
Men of all pa"rtles this year, as In the
contest of the civil war, when the nation
was threatened with dismemberment, are
standing together for public honor and
public honesty, for good currency, good
credit und natlonul good faith .(Applause.)
This is a year when those who stand op
posed to us Indulge in glittering promises.
They offer" a remedy which thoy say will
cure all our Ills. We might accept their
services and take their remedies If we had
not been doctored by them before. - (Great
laHghter-and applause.) Free trade and
free silver are the false friends of labor.
They lure with promises to cheap com
modities and cheup money. .The partlnl
trial of free trade has proved thai the
cheap commodities promised nr dear to
tl.u l,il....ue uti.l ft Him ,iWI lit IhImiC Hll.l
i clisap money will be equally dear to them
I add a saciliice to ihelr highest and bet
Interests. (Cries of "that's right.") We
cannot but remember the protnl-.cn that
I weie made to the people In tl of the unl-
versul lietiehclence which was to follow
! the Inauguration of u tariff for revenue
unly policy and with what prodigal Douiiiy
it was to benclit labor. Increase the pur
chasing power of wages and decrease the
price of everything it bought and Increase
Hie price of everything ir made Ap
plause.) They did not "pan out." Wool

country knows how pootly the pel form

made. Instead of adding '.m.) laborers lo

nier tor the wool grower of the United
States and that ciinluiuer Is Die maii
ufaclurer of the United States. The Amer
ican wool grower has no foreign market
today. He cannot compete in any other
market with the wool grown ou cliciip
lauds and by cheaper lubor of other coun
tries. Tills is his market mid when it Is
lukcii from him it emails loss and ruin
to him.
Have thexe fi.e imports of wool beucllt
e.l the in. inula. luiei? (('lies of "no."
The two years in which the manufacturers
have enjoyed free wool have been the
most disastrous in the history of Ameri
can wool manufactories, greater than th"
disaster which followed the close of the
war of 1SI-' or the panics ot 1VI and l'.7.
(Appluuse.) The iinporis ut the woolen
guods frew wool were simply enormous.
They averaged :, mini urn a month In value;
that at the .nd of the tltst year under the
new law the total value of woolen goods
imported hud exceeded Jil.i..iwi.,v loietgu
value. In 1W, It is estimated that nearly
one-luilf of the woolens mat enter, d Into
consumption were of a foreign make We
have in this country enough woolen ma
chitiery to muiuifaci lire all our wants, b it
II is not all In demand under present con
ditions. While our idle working in ople
are looking for a .lob, foreign wool mow
ers are sending ihelr wool to the United
Suites, und American fanners me selllntr

crease of ii per cent, over the value of
llieir largest export. So great was file
U iiuin.l for these foreign koou thut the
English maiiiifact uret a could not find
enough weavers to run their looms. W Idle
this was going on, American tools were
silent und Amcri.-an workmen were Idle.
Not one-hall' of the woolen machinery of
the United Slides Is employe,! That is
the result ol free wool In ihe -United
Slates. (Applause.)
word free is delusive.
My fellow-.itly.Pirs. you want to siu.lv
that word "free, ' when applied .to auoJsl
or money, u i iieiusiv. Aluliy oi in
factories are entirely closed; other run
ning on half or short time, and It Is esti
mated thut not one half of those who were
employed In 1W)3 tlnd employment now.
Until the full of 19-' men were constantly
employed and at higher rates of wages
than thejr had ever before enjoved. (Ap
plause and cries of "that's tight "t The
manufacturer was looking for workmen;
now the workmen are looking for work.
Then the manufacturer was hunting the
employe; now the employe Is hunting
work. It Is said that there Is enough wool
machinery In the United States to give em
ployment to men and women and
their wages down to 92 amounted to
foi.no.neu annually. Forty million dollars
has been taken away from the homes of
labor. Those who were promised plenty
and prosperity under free trade are now
assuring us that they can only be secured
through flee silver. (Laughter and cries
of "no.") How will free sliver slop th
Importation of foreign wool? (Cries of
"It won't.") Ho can free silver eheeK
the annulling Importations of woolen
goods from the old world? How can free
silver preserve the home market to the
wool producer and the woolen manufac
turer? iCrles of "It .:an't do It.")
My feliow-titlzens. It Is as delusive as
free trade. It will only further cripple ev
ery interest In the United States. How
can free silver Increase the demand for
American labor and American product"?
Answer me that. (Cries of "It can't do
it.") Remember, my fellow-citizens, that
money does not make business. It never
did and never will. Husiness makes
money. (Cries of "that's right." Poor
money never helped legitimate business
In the history of mankind. It has always
hurt it. It is destructive to every ln.tere.st
but that of the speculator. (Applause.)
What is true of wool is true of other In
dustries. All have been suffering. If not
to the same extent it Is because the blow
on Industries wus not so severe. We want
In this country a sound government, a
sound tariff and sound money. (Great
applause.) And we want to take care of
this goodly Inheritance of ours and keep
It what it has been for the most part in all
Its glorious history, the most prosperous
beneath the sun. with more happy and
contented homes than can be found in any
other country of the world. (Applause.)

BIQ DEMONSTRATION AT BALTIMORE
Four Thousand t prrlators Gather to
Listen to Explanations of the ftitua
lion from a tJold Democratic Ktund
poiutt'hrer and Hisses lor the
Xante of Bryan.
I'.altlinore. Sept. 2.".. Maryland gave
Palmer and Huckner a rousing: welcome
tonight. About 4.WH) persons were
present nt the Maryland raliflrutlun
meeting: f the National Democratic
patty which was held fit Music hall. A
large majority of the crowd wwere
staunch Dento. ruts who huve not been,
stampeded to the cause of free sl ver.
Among the most enthusiastic Were
some of the best known Democrats in
Maryland men who have never known
what It was to scratch a ticket until
this yeur.
It was apparent however that im iiy
in the audience were not in sympathy
with the sound money theories advanc
ed by the speakers. The frequent,
i ik-n lion of Bryan's name wusi cheered
by quite- a number, while othein us vig
orously hissed every allusion to tin
silver candidate.
A Palmer and Ruckiier electoral tick
et was put in the Held by the adoption
of a report made by u special commit
tee. In opening his address Seiiuti'
Palmer said: "I am here tonight, in the
altitude (r H cu-ndidule for the presi
dency of the United Slutes wit hunt any
expectation of being Heeled.
(H-neinl Pulnier read abstracts from
the platforms adopted by the seven
natlonul conventions on which candi
dates are now standing for the presi
dency, und commented in Ills charac
teristic wav, upon the candidates.
Kverytlme he mentioned Mr. Ilryan's
name there was uu uproar, a coming
ling of cheers and hisses. That there
Were several Republicans In the audi
ence was manifested by the enthusiasm
which greeted the limn l ion of Major
McKinlcy 's tiuuie.
THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.
Concluding his discussion of (he plat
form and candidates. General Palmer
took up tin lluancial question. He said
that lit its pledge lo the free coiuuge of
silver the Chicago convention Invoked
not only the Judgment, but Hie intlig
ualloii of American people, lie reject
ed Mr. Bryan's belief that the adopt ion
of free coinage of silver by the United
States alone would advance silver to an
equality in value Willi gold and as
serted that there was no foundation
for the assumption.
Alter congratulating Mr. Dry an and
bis siipiHjiieis on their unparalleled
boldness in making certain "outrage
ous claims," General Palmer added
that It is astonishing thut in the ligiit
of human experience such propositions
slamld b entertained by suite men.
No more monstrous prooosltlon wus
ever made than the one inviting the
United States to abandon her trade re
lations with (treat Britain, Germuny,
France and other gold countries and
take refuge with Greasers and Chinese.
(Great applause.)
As General Palmer concluded General
Buckner was introduced. The scene
was dramatic. The border line audi
ence give the Kentuckian a special wel
come and the cheers were Intermingled
with the rebel yell. The general dis
cussed the financial question, but his
argument was lost to most of those who
tried to follow him because of the
noise made by hundreds who were
leaving the hall.
YALE BOYS EXPLAIN-
They Claim That They Did Not Interrupt
the Boy Orator After He Had
Commenced Speaking.
New Haven, Oonji., Sept. 25. Every
one Is discussing the Bryan incident
o yesterday when the presidential can
didate stopped speaking and declared
that he was prevented by Yale men's
noise from proceeding. There Is a
general denial that he was stopped
from speuklng by Yale men, their
claim being that they cheered for Mc
Klnley and gold Incessantly at the be
ginning of his speech, compelling Mr.
Bryan to take his seat after he had
risen to speak and to wait five min
utes till the cheering stopped, but they
state that vfhen he once began they
did not prevent him from continuing.
Much Indignation is felt here at the
reference by Mr. Btyqn to Yale stu
di ids as young men who came to
college to spend "Ill-gotten gains."
The Yale faculty asseet that no official
notice will be taken of the Incident.
, The Register editorially tonight
prints an editorial to prove that yes
terday's disturbance was due In a large
degree to an Incendiary speech deliv
ered to an unsympathetic audience.
It says that the cheers given him
were only such as Dr. Depew ai d nth r
notables have received from Yale au
diences from time to time in the pas:.
The editorial says that In ft til ing Mr.
Bryan threw the blame from his own
shoulders, where It belonged, to the
shoulders of the Yale men, where it did
Hut belong.
The naval mllltla and Company K.
First regiment. t N. (., paraded on
the green while the Bryan affair was
on. The military men say, however,
they were assured that the Bryan
tpejklug would be ov. r I efore the time
for the dress parade. 2.30, but as a
flutter of fact Mr, Bryun did not ap
pear on the green until 2.40.

He ictnaiiied off the track DS minutes,

Chicago, Sept. 25. General James B.
Weaver, of Iowa, came to Democratic
national headquarters today from his
state where he has been making
speeches. To a rejairter of the Untied
Associated Presses, the former nominee
of the Peoples party for president, said:
The battle is practically won and
Mr. Bryan's election is assured. There
Is no possible way In which he can be

BRYAN MISQUOTED.
Chauocey Depew Throwa Lij(bt Upoo
One of Billy 'a Yarn in Reference
to Henry Ward Beecner.
Brooklyn, Sept. 25. The Republicans
of Brooklyn held a big rally at tin
Clermont avenue rink tonight which
wasi attended by one uf the largest
throngs of iHiiple ever assembled in a
hull In this city.
The star of Hie evening was Chuuit
cey Al. DepeW. . His Blieech denoted
careful thought and wus delivered with
much earnestness and force. He creat
ed a sonxatlon when he scored Mr. Bry
an for his utterance in relation to the
late Henry Wurtl Beecher. "I huve a
poor memory for quotations," said Mr.
Depew. "but 1 never forget facts. So
when I reud In Mr. Bryan's speech, de
livered in Brooklyn the other night his
reference to my lute fellow tnwnMinuu,
Henry Ward Beecher, I recalled a
speech delivered by that great divine
on the money issue. I went to my
library nnd found this book. (Here Mr.
Depew picked up from Hie table a
bound volume) and read therefrom Mr.
Keeciu-r's declaration on the llnaticlul
question in which he referred to gold
as the 'king of commerce' and wnid:
'All other money must represent gold.'
Mr. Hannu, who sat near by, rc
mucked : "If Bryan keeps ou the plat
form urter this Is printed, he has nuue
gull tl.un I give him credit for." The
reading of the extract was greeted
with great cheering, the audience aris
ing nr.d waving myriad of stnuil
American flags made a demonstration
which ended with three cheers for the
memory of Henry Ward Beecher.
When Mr. Uepew concluded there
were tries for Hannu. Mayor Wurster
topped forward, saying: "I take pleas

PRINCE BISMARCK'S
CURRENCY VIEWS
The Authenticity of His Bimetallic Let
ter It Doubted.
AN OPINION REQUESTED BY CABLE
The New York Sound Money Demo
crats Attempt to Interview the
Prince by the Allautic t'able--No
Reply lias Beeu Received.
NewYork, Sept. 25. Prince Bis
marck's letter to Governor Culberson,
of Texas, has caused no etui of discus
sion and speculation In sound money
German circles as to Its authenticity.
It culmtnuted on Tuesduy In the calling
of a meeting by Secretary Grosseof the
executive committee of the Sound
Money league, t which William Slein
way, the chairman, presided. Al'ter
full und free discussion of the letter 11
was unanimously decided tViat William
Stelnway sent the following cablegram
to Prince Bismarck:
New York. Sept. 23.
To His Highness, Prince Bismarck, Prled-
lichsruhe, Germany.
The sllverltes and Populists who are agi
tating the unlimited free uoinuge of silvor
III this country make use In a demagogi
cal sense the following letter, alleged to
have been written by your highness to
Governor Culberson, of Texas, especially
among the German Americana:
"Frledrichsruhe, Aug. 24, IS',.
"Honored Sir: Your esteemed favor of
July has been duly received. I have al
ways had a predellctiun for bimetallism,
but I would nut, while in office, claim my
views of the matter to be Infallibly true
when advanced against the views of ex
perts. 1 hold to this very hour that It
would be advisable to bring about among
the nations chiefly engaged In the world's
commerce a mutual agreement lu favor of
the establishment ot bimetallism.
"Considered from a commerula! and In
dustrial standpoint, the United States are
freer by far in their movements than any
nation of Kill ope, and hence, should the
people of the United Slates ttud It compa
tible with their Interests to take Independ
ent action in the direction of bimetallism,
I cannot help but believe that such action
would exert a most salutary Influence upon
the consummation of international agree
ment and the coining lino this league of
every European nation. Assuring you of
my highest respect, 1 remain, your most
obedient servant. "Bistnaruk."
We beg your highness to cable us the
exact text of your letter if the preceding
text should either not l genuine or' nut
exact. Full cable reply paid.
(Signed.)
Gei'iiuiu-Auierlcan Sound Money League.
William Steluway, president.
Mr. Croas, the secretary of the
American Sound Money league, In re
ferring to the sending of the cable
gram, said to a reporter of the L'uited
Associated Presses tonight:
"Although we know of Prince Bis
marck being in favor of the landed ar
istocracy of Germany, which Is the bl
metalllHtlc party of that country, and
which party is constantly clanwning
for special privileges and high pro
tective tariff and has also been, the
cause of exdiiMi.m of the American hog
from Germany we had no doubt thut
Prince Bismarck had written a letter
which, by many In thu country, may
be construed as an improper interfer
ence with the internal politic of a
foreign nation, and it was for this rea
son that this despatch wag sent. We
don't consider the letter in any way
misleading or hurtful to tlu; sound
money cause, except among the ignor
ant watt may. accept It as an endorse
ment of the unlimited free coinage of
silver, which it certainly Is not. The
German bimetalllsts are not In favor of
the unlimited free coinage of silver for
Germany, but they will very likely
have no objection and they may even
plncerely desire that the United States
should contest to the monumental folly
and thereby secure to the Uuropean
kt'ountries the greatest advantage over
I Vie United States they can desire. We
I doubt whether Prince Bltunarck rel
ishes the publication of the letter and
If the letter should be genuine this
may be the reason why he has not sent
any reply so far."
