TALK UPON THE TARIFF QUESTION i'ree Trude Is Desirable lu the Inited States but Not with Foreign Coua-trieic-The Doctrine of the Tariff' Which Is Needed Now lo Assist iu KiiKluiuiug the tiovermncut. Punton, O., Oct. 13. A delegation of about "W voters from the lehigh Val ley district of I'ennsylvania, arrived here at 10 o'clock this morning to puy their respects to Major McKlnley. The delegation came from Sliamokin and a number of other towns between that place and AVilkes-Harre, Hasletoii and Krceland, were particularly well rep resented. Owing; to the continued In clement weather the party was escort ed by the Canton citizens' reception committee to the Tabernacle. Congressman Charles N. Hrumni, of Pottsvtlle, l'u., acted ns spokesman for the visitors. In his rvnuirks to the can didate he predicted that I'ennsylvania would send a solid Kepublican delega tion to the next congress, besides giv ing McKlnley a majority of three quarters of a million votes. Major McKlnley, in responding, dwelt at some length upon the tariff ques tion. MAJOIi McKINLEY'S REMARKS. Mr. McKlnley spoke as follows: You hnve greatly honored me In having tourneyed so long a distance to bring hs ."Uiuiuvs of your good will. I do not tuko this cull us In any sense personal to my self, but rather us a tribute to the cause which for the mometit T revsent and lo the great principles which the Kepubli can puny upholds In the ponding pri-si-tial contest. It gives me plcnsure to meet my old frii'tid, your spokesman, with whom I served for years in the national house of representative's. It also gives me pleasure to meet and welcome you to my home and to say that I appreciate most highly your visit nn I the encouraging message which you bring. (Applause.) It wns scarcely necessary to advise me thnt the people of the anthra cite regions are In favor of the protective tariff. 1 have long known and appreciat ed that fact, and sympathise with you in that sentiment. I believe in the great American doctrine which lies at the foun dation of the law of self-preservation. I believe It is the duty of this government to Hiicnurane its own people and to pass sin h laws as will give them the highest opportunity to Improve their condition, I lie hlKhi'St scale of wages and the greatest en couragement to'thelr skill and their la bor, ulreut npplause.) We have In this country more free trade than In nny other country of the world, but it is free trade ninnim' ourselves (great applause), with forty-live states and seventy millions cf people. We are constantly vleinir with each other In every rection of our common country for promotion of the highest In terests of nur respective populations. We believe In free trade in the 1'nlted States In the same sense that we believe In the equal and reciprocal oblluatlons which lie long -to every family. (Applause.) We are only a great natloml family. We trade with each other with absolute freedom und without restraint, and cmcuKe In free ami iinicseiitfitl rivalry In all the ocm- patiuns, employment! ml industries of our people; tile triumph or any section is the triumph of the other, all working to Betlier for the general good. When we have free trndp with other countries It should be in those product which we can not produce ourselves and which we must have all In exchange for which those countries will take the products that we make and grow and we should put a duty upon those foreign products that compete with American products sutri eient not only to supply enough revenue for the uses of the government, but siilli cleiit to protect American people in their own occupation, against the products of the eheaoer and under-paid labor of the world, (lirent cheering.) liOCTUINB OP THB TAKIKP. Thai seems to me lo be the dictate of on enlightened patriotism, and It Is cer tainly one of the great fundamental doc-, trims of the Kepublleiiii party; und wliv should It not be so, my fellow-clllzens? We are one nation; we have one nag; w have a common destiny. The other na tions of the world have their separate and independent political organizations for the purpose of working our for themselves I he highest destiny possible. They owe no allegiance to this government; they contribute nothing to its support, elder in war or in peace; iuuI if they are lo come into this country ami compel with our people, we say that you can do it upon eondltion Hint a tin ill' shall be mil upon your products, nud that u tail 11' will go toward sustaining tills government and at th same lime. w'H lie a defense to our own laborers and producers. (Tremen dous applause.) That Is the whole doctrine of tariff; If we ever need It. He need It How. We need it for tin- federal treasury, for that is in a condition lif detleleni'V; we need it for the people of this country, for they, like Hie treasury, are win-i'iilly in u condition of dcllciency. I Applause.) WHAT Til K TAKII'-K WILL DO. Now, whatever will put tnon.-y Into the public treasury and slop debts and iletl. deludes and bonds, I take It, everybody would say would lie u Wise and i.it"iou,' tiling, no mutter what poiltua! party tlr-y have belonged to In lie n.i.i.. I take it thai whatever policy will er.courage our own people lo mine coal, tj manufacture products, to employ labor, is t bo ,uli"y that ought to commend Itself to every pa triotic citizen. And if a tariff will do those things, the tariff surely is what, by our votes three weeks from today, we ought lo sustain. (Applause.) 'Pennsylvania has always been a protection stule. James liuclianan, u Democrat, when be was pres ident of the 1'nlted States, gave seme pret ty good advice which Is applicable to the present situation. He said: "No states man w ould advise that we should go on in creasing tin; national debt to meet the or dinary expenses of the government. This would be u ruinous policy. In case of war our credit must "be our chief resource, at least for the first year, and this wouid be greatly impaired by having contracted a large debt In lime of peace. It Is our true policy to increase our revenue so as lo eipial our expenditures. It would be ruin ous to rontinue to borrow." Thut Is the position of the Kepublican parly todny. Mr. Kandall, a Democrat of great distinction, a man of wonderful power, who was always for I'ennsylvania, and the people of Pennsylvania, and for the worklngmen of Pennsylvania, deism el In 1SS7 in the opposition to the Mills bill: "If the farmer ceases to buy the prodn -ts of the manufacturers, he will certainly cease to sell them, but must sell his pro ducts in the market where he Jurts what ha consumes himself. SuppaHe last year we had manufactured a thousand millions worth less than we did and had gone abroad for these products, expecting to pay for them with agricultural products, could a thousand millions more of agricultural products have been sold abroad at the price which products brought here? We sold all the wheat and corn and meat pro ducts that Kurope could take at the price that prevailed. Who can tell at what prices Kurope would have taken flcrt.nmuJiiO or even l.OW.nOO.yoo more of our agricultur al products than she did take? The mere statement of the proposition is enough to disclose the error on which It Is founded and shows the importance of uniting man ufactures with agriculture, or as Jefferson states it, "putting the manufacturer bv the side of the farmer." In fact, boih must In our country depend almost ex clusively on the home markets. It is folly, If not a crime to attempt to change It in those respects. It would bring ruin and bniiktuptcy without the possibility of hav ing such a result accomnlished. The greater the diversity of Industries In any country, the greater the wealth-producing power of the people and the more t here Is for labor and capital to divide, the r-inro Independent that country becomes." (.Applause.) It is very comforting thins; to anybody who has money, much or little, to feel all the time that Its value cannot be affected by hard times or depreciated In his hands by panic, but that it rests all the while upon solid and unchangeable value rec ognized the world over. Money does not depend uiHin what we call It It depends upon its value. (Hreat upplause.) When you have earned JliK) you want to feel that you are worth flue luppluusel, und that It will not be diminished iu a day or a week, or a month, or depreciate while it is in your hands or when It goes out of your hands. That Is the kind of money we have in this country now the best money known to the civilized countries of the world. It Is to the interest of every work ing man; it Is to the Interest of every citi zen of the country, no mutter what may be his business, to maintain that money at its present standard. (Applause.) ROSES FOR MRS. M'KINLEY. They Are Hrought Through the Itaiii by Sandusky Kiitliuaiustiett. Canton, O., Oct. 13. Sandusky coun ty, Ohio, sent a big crowd of Its in habitants to cull on Mujur McKlnley this afternoon. They came in sections by different routes ami when they hud all congregated at the Tabernacle, there were fully l.ooo In the party. De spite the rain they were unusually en thusiastic After listening attentively to the ad dress of Major McKlnley a procession wns formed and the more enthusiastic members: of the party, headed by a band of music, marched through the ruin and mud to the McKlnley resi dence. There they presented to Mrs. McKlnley a beautiful collection of roses, the cift of ladies of Sandusky county. It Is expected that Wednesday. Oct. 21, which has been designated as "Il linois Day" by Cantonltcs, it will be the most notable day of the present cumpulgn in this city.

Slilt Another Big Gain in Prices Is Re cordcd-A Rise of Over One Cent a Bushel New York, Oct. l:!. Wheut reached the highcHl point of the year today. Since lust July prices have advanced over li cents a bushel. If the blir I'hi cugo bull leaders are to be believed tiley will go comudorubly higher yet, before the present bull campaign Is over. This morning's opening wns unusual ly active, with an intense bullish feel ing manifest among local traders. Pirst prices were 14C higher than last night und later there was a further udvuneo. In addition to unexpectedly higher cables, foreign houses were good buy ers. It was said that lMl.uOO bushels of wheat had been bought in San Fran cisco for shipment to India. This has been one of the strongest bull curds of late. It Is known that the weather throughout parts of India bus been un piopiiioua lor crops, and It is now claimed that she is buying wheat abroad, although an exporter herself. Many traders dr not believe the re ports, but in the present nervous statu of the market, they have considerablu weight. The crops of the world this year are expected to fall far short of requirements, and the bulls declare prices are still below their legitimate level, based upon supply und demand. The corn market also shut up a cent a bushel ut the opening today. Within the past few days it has developed re markable strength, due to increasing speculative activity und a growing de mand for 'shipment u broad.

INCIDENTS OF THE MINNESOTA TRIP The Speaker I'rgcs Ilis Hearers to Seutl Congressmen Who Will Sup port Him in EUorts "lo Further the Cause of Silver W lieu iu the White House. St. Clud. Minn.. Oct. 13. Fur coata that were so plentiful in the crowds ad dressed by Mr, bryan in North Dakota, South Dakota and parts of this state last week Were not to be seen in the audience of 5.UU0 people addressed by 111 til at St. Cloud, the little lumbering center on the banks of the Mississippi. The; sun shone strong and bright and not a cloud was in the sky. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan with their traveling party were taken Into the town to a park, where the people were gathered. The candidate was received with enthus ItiHin, when W. I. Itemer, one of the delegates lo the Chicago convention in troduced him. Mr. Bryan spoke of the importance of the money question and said that this campaign had witnessed Buch a revolu tion in politics us had not been seen since the years just preceding the war. He continued: I think Prince Hlsmarck, a year ago, gave expression to a very imortant so tlment. Speaking 'to the farmers of Ger many he said: "The farmers mtiBt stand together and protect themselves from the drones of society who produce nothing but laws." You divide society Into two classes. On the one side nut the producer of wealth und on the other side put the non-producer and you will find that the non-producers produce more laws in this country than the producers of wealth. (Ap plause.) There Is such a thing as a legis lative plow. The legislative plow runs deeper, turns out more ground. U operated at less expense and raises crops, less in jured by flood and drought than uny other plow that was ever put Into the ground. (Laughter.) Just as long as the financiers are allowed to run the legislative plow, while you keep ut work following the old mile-board, you will never ineel them at the summer resorts. My friends, tho suc cess of the Chicago ticket does not Injur the man who wunts a chance to earn his living, It simply Injures the occupation of thise who want to monopolize the oppor tunities for livelihood and prevent others from enjoying the blessings that follow from American industry. (Applause.) CHBEIi FOR KNGLAND. While discussing the financial policy of this country, Mr. Uryan was inter rupted uy a man In the crowd who shouted "Hurrah for England." Mr. Bryan quickly added: "There Is the first Republican that I have seen this morning." (Laughter and applause, and a voice "let us have a magnifying gluss ho we can And him.") "Well, I am glad that there are a few of them left, because you know there Is a curiosity that must always be satis fied and the men who stand on the Republican platform are getting to be so few that they will draw a high price when they are wanted for the museum. (Laughter and cheers). Mr: Bryan spoke of the necessity of having a congress that would send a free silver bill to the president and commended Congressman Towne as be ing a safe man to send to congress. ) Congressman Towne followed Mr. Rryan brlelly and on the conclusion, the whole party returned to the special train which pulled out at 11.05. The stop In St. Cloud lasted fifty minutes. At Rice's there was a hard working brass band and a good sized crowd and Mr. Bryan spoke again. Fifteen minutes were spent by Mr. llran at Little Falls. It was exactly noon when the train came to a stand still a hundred feet from a temporary stand about which u thousand people uud numerous Vehicles gathered. Judge Shaw, a local man. presented Mr. Bry- uii, who spoke until the warning whis tle blew from the locomotive. FIVE MORE SPEECHES. Ouluth. Minn.. Oct. 13. Five stops were fiiade by the Bryan special be tween Little Falls and Duluth and Ave mure speeches were added to the sev eral hundred the Democratic candidate I'as made in the campaign. For the si'.e und of the places where the train baited, the crowds that turned out to see Mr. Uryan were of fair propor tions. That at Staples numbered 800; ut Hrainard, 2.0W; at Altken, but); I'arleton, fiOO, and West Superior, 10. miu. No stop was made at Motley, but the train was slowed down to enable about u hundred people at the station there 'to see the nominee and Mrs. Itryan. McKlnley -budges of yellow rlliboii were noticeable at several Places, particularly so at Bralnerd, and Mr. liryun made some comments on their use. I do not know what arguments are most faanliaily advanced her uveal list free ''linage. I "c 'ocrcioii." shouted some one.) I was toiiiB to say that coercion was the aruiinu iit th n is being resorted to now by oar Kcptiblli an friends more than any other argument, but there is one advuii HCie about Ihe voting iu the states where tre-y have tin Australian ballot und that l. that while a man wears u badge in ordur lu save li Its employment, he has the right to ue bis vole' iii order to save his country. I 'lo not lllul It in my heart lo criticise the iiiiin who wears the Itepubllean badge un der compulsion. These are hard times und tlwy will be harder Ihnn this If the gold standard cotitiiiuesC und 1 do not wonder that the man who has a Job does not liku to risk having that Job taken away from lilm because he Insists on being an Ameri can clliKen. (Applause.) Hut 1 do re Juice that the laboring men of this coun try were instrumental in getting an Aus tralian ballot to piotect them in just such a crisis ns we are passing through. The Australian ballot is our salvation in this cumpulgn. Without It we could hard ly hope for victory. The Australian bal lot Is the protection of the American workingmun and tyranny waits outside while he goes in to vote. Rome one has said that a man wears the Republican badge to save bis employment and he votes lor free silver to make his Job worth sav ing. West Superior, Wis., turned out the biggest crowd of the clay. It num bered In the neighborhood of 10,000 peo ple, and the throng was so thick about the stifnd from which Mr. Bryan spoke that the greatest physical force on the part of the police was necessary to get the candidate and his wife through. While Mr. Bryan was speaking some body shouted: "How about Sickles," referring to General Daniel Slckels, of New York, who bolted tho Tammany endorsement of Bryan and Sewall Rnd recently made a speech at Duluth In favor of McKlnley. "For every soldier we lose," responded Mr. Bryan, "We gain a dozen." Cheers from the crowd followed. John W. Tomllnson, of Birmingham, Ala., a member of Mr. Bryan's party, also spoke at West Superior. LAFAYETTE C0A1ES HIQH. Will Play bo Eootball Game with University of Pennsylvania. Philadelphia. Oct 13. The probabili ties are that there will be no foot ball game between Pennsylvania and Laf ayette this season. The Pennsylvanl ana yesterday received a demand from Lafayette for a substantial Increase of the guarantee agreed upon between the two colleges. The day before the game last year Lafayette made the same kind of a demand and then Pennsylvania agreed to it and paid the advance ask ed. This year Pennsylvania will not accede to the asked for advance. They have the agreement entered Into and signed by the foot ball authorities of each college, under which lafayette agrees to take a certain share of the gale receipts. The game with the Fusion boys is off. Lafayette made the demand oil the grounds, us they had played a tie game Willi I'rlncelon, their team's drawing power hud been increased und they should be paid more money fur the game. It Is understood here thut Idif ayette and Princeton are endeavoring to come to an agreement to play a second game this seuson, and that is to be played in Philadelphia. If Lafay ette does not play Pennsylvania they will fill its date with some other college. REBELS ROUTED. Cubans Are Pnt to Flight by the Span lards at Mnyn F.Matc. Havnna, Oct. 13.
