A Stirring Address Made to Pennsylvania
Callers Yesterday.
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. Hetween eight
and ten thousand people, it is believed,
will make that Journey from different
points of Illinois and extensive prep
arations for their entertainment are be
ing made by the citizens' reception
committee. The visitors will bring a
carload of horses for their own use
and many uniformed clubs will ac
company the party.
WHEAT ADVANCES AGAIN.
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.
Sliver continued to decline, an if pur
suing Air. llryati in Its fatality. The.
price ut which commercial burs sold ut
today was M cents an ounce. This Is
a drop of 1':, cents an ounce inside of a
week. That, too, Willi wheut going tip
und Sir. Itiyuu telling farmers that
when silver advances in value wheat
also appreciates iu sympathy.

INCIDENTS OF THE MINNESOTA TRIP
The Speaker I'rgcs Ilis Hearers to

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.

Franz Unzetti's Head Almost Blown
Off by a Charge of Buckshot.
Jersey Shore, Junction, Pa Oct. 13.
A horrible murder was committed near
Snow Shoe on the Beech Creek road
yesterday afternoon, in which Franz
Unzettl. a miner, had his head almost
blown off by a charge of buckshot from
a Bhot gun in the hands of Tony Bar
ratto, who is still at large. Unzettl,
Barratto and Tom Ritonski went gun
ning in the wilderness which surrounds
Snow Shoe, and. in a quarrel over the
possession of one of their two shot guns
the homicide was committed.
