NEW JERSEY SENDS PATRIOTS
The Frcliiighuysen Lancers the Live
lirst Delegation of the Day-Preparations
for Receiving Election He-turnsSpci-ches
Made by the Cham
pion of Protection Yesterday.
Canton, O., Oct. 26. A force of line
men began today the work of string
ing additional wires from the olliee of
the Western Union Telegraph company
in this elty to Major McKinley's resi
dence, and on the night of election the
liirce dining room, which connects with
Major McKinley's library, will be con
verted into a veritable telegraph of
fice. In addition to the private wire re
turns. Major McKinley will take the
full election night service of the Unit
ed Associated Presses over its special
wire, which has also been connected
with the candidate's home, together
with the bulletins of the Western
Union Telegraph company. Major Mc
Kinley attended the funeral of Will
iam J. Miller this morning. Mr. Miller
was a very warm personal friend of
the Republican candidate, and was on
the electoral ticket from this district.
Mrs. Miller Is a cousin of Governor Mc
Kinley. The Republicans of Canton are ar
ranging to hold a big meeting In the
tabernacle on thp night before election,
to be addressed by Major McKinley.
Major McKinley begun his last week
of s!ieechmaklng with an address to
400 employes of the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern railroad from the towns
of Seymour and Washington, Ind.
Major McKinley was greeted with
prolonged cheers when he stepped for
ward to speak. His remarks were ex
ceedingly earnest, and were in the main
confined to a discussion of the rela
tions between employer and employe.
He said there must be no coercion, but
thorough harmony and co-operation.
The next callers were 600 employes
of the Cleveland, Lorraine and neel
ing road. Their spokesman wus L. H.
Eddy, a locomotive engineer, who made
a brief but ringing speech. Major Mc
Kinley addressed the delegation on the
money and tariff issues.
THE FKEL1NGHUYSEX LANCERS.
The delegation of the day in which
the liveliest Interest centered was the
one from Newark and Trenton, N. J.,
which reached Major McKinley's house
rhortly after 11.30. The New Jersey
men had to wait their turn to be ad
dressed, as there were two delegations
Immediately In advance of them. The
New Jersey delegation was accompa
nied by a hundred members of the
Frellnghuysen Lancers, a splendid or
ganization, formed in 1868, and probab
ly the most thoroughly designed and
handsomely uniformed body of men
that has been seen in Canton during
the campaign. The excursion was or
rrnled by the Republican Club of
Newark.
The committee at the head of the
delegation was composed of A. L. Av
ery. George L. Smith, J. A. Court
wright, A. G. Courter, C, Frantzel and
Major W. L. Fish, of the Lancers. The
Lancers had with them their own
drum corps of thirty members. The
speaker of the delegation was John S.
Gibson, comptroller of the city of New
ark. He said:
We have journeyed nearly a thousand
miles to bring you a message of cheer
from the citizens of our greut lmliistrinl
city, and to give you the assurance. If
further assurance Is necessary, that the
state of Garret A. Hobart will give a ma
jority for the restoration of our Indus
tries, for the better employment of our
citizens and for the continuance of a
financial policy as sound as the govern
ment Itself.
COMPLIMENT TO JERSEY.
As Major McKinley arose to reply
he was given a greeting by the Jersey
men, such as he Vlll long remember
for its heartiness. In addressing the
delegation Major McKinley Bald:
I bid you a warm welcome to my state,
my city and my home. I think we all
have a glowing affection for the original
thirteen states that laid the foundation of
our splendid political fabric. For more
thiin hW years It has stood the shock of
battle, from without and from within,
and Is stronger and more patriotic today
than It has ever been, as will be seen Ly
its vote a week from tomorrow. (Loud
cheers.) New Jersey has the distinction
tif being one of those glorious thirteen
original states. She not only has the dls
tlnetion of membership in that original
family, but she Is full of historic memo
lies inn! s:icred historic events leading up
to our nutionul independence. 1 am glad
to meet you at my home, members of this
old and historic community, twenty
years old, and bearing the honored name
of Kreltnghuysen, one of the most Illus
trious i.ot only In the nnnals of your
state, but In the annuls of the nation as
well, a name that is synonymous with
protection to our Industries and to our
national honor; a nume that is synony
mous with honest finance, good currency
and public and private money. I am glad
to see you, my fellow-citizens, from the
state and home of my distinguished asso
ciate on the national ticket, that splen
did ami typical representative American,
that honest citizen, that Incorruptible
man, Garret A. Hobart. (Loud and pro
longed cheers.) No ordinary event could
have brought you a thousand miles to the
city of Canton! no ordinary political con
test could have assembled on this lawn
thousands and tens of thousandsof men
and women from every quarter of this
country. It Is only because in the pub
lie mind there exists a belief that we are
confronted with a great public peril and
because we mean by our votes to shun
uud avoid It. This is the meaning of It
all. We have experienced only calamity
by following falfe teachers. We don't
propose to experience another and even
greater calamity by following the same
Miieliers. We have already withstood th
perlenee of partial free trade, a policy
the result of which your eloquent spokes
man has so fitly described, the policy that
has brought Idleness upon our working
men and extinguished the fires in our
furnaces. This has been your experience
for the past three and a half years. Il is
proposed now to add to that as though
we had not suffered enough, that fatal
heresy that somehow or another people
can get rich by debusing our currency.
SUFFERING ALL AROUND.
They have reduced wages, reduced em
ployment and now they want to reduce
the value of money in which they are
paid. So that we are suffering in both
directions. What we want in the United
States Is a stable tariff law that will raise
enough money to pay all the current ex
penses of the government that 'will obvi
ate the necessity of borrowing and lay up
a surplus to wipe out the existing debt.
In 1835 the government of the United
States paid off its entire debt. It was
ISO.uOO.OOt) in 1MM. and the people believed
it never Could be paid oft. It was reduced
to M5.wo.WW after m2 and by pursuing a
protective policy for thirty-five years, ev
ery dollar was paid. By pursuing the
same policy from 1M1 to 1893 we paid oil
more than two-thirds of our great war
debt, reaching mor than two billions of
dollars, and If our prosperity had not
been Interrupted and the Republican poll,
ey not abandoned we would have wiped It
all off l y today. (Loud Cheers.) Now,
what ve rni to do Is to get back to that

SMNEY FLUCTUATIONS.
Notes from P.Tsona! Experience in the
Argentine Republic Readjustment
Causes Bus.ness Stagnation.
Washington, Oct. 20. Mr. Buchanan,
United States minister to the Argen
tine Republic, in a report to the depart
ment of state on money and prices in
foreign countries, says:
"A majority of those who have writ
ten to me from the United Slates re
garding wages and prices have invari
ably asked me to give them the result
of my observations with regard to the i
practical workings of the cheap money I
Bystem or the country as it has affect
ed, and affects the farmer and wage
earner. On this point let me say that
from an extended and careful personal
observation I am convinced that, with
possibly a few exceptions, all classes
of workmen here are today receiving
less wages, the purchasing power of
their money being considered, than
they were ten years ago.
"It Is true and easily understood that
as long as gold was rising, the farmer
who was selling his products, as he had
always done and continues to do, on a
gold price, fixed outside of the country,
wus steadily receiving higher paper
prices for all that he had to sell, and
was in consequence a direct cuiner by
high gold. Il is equally true that he .
has been the gainer in other ways;
ho has paid but little- more rent, if
any, tor uis ranu man lie puiu nve years
ago. Strunge as it stems, he had paid,
and Is today paying, but a trille more
ti IiIh laborers than when gold was on
a par ten years ago, and as he pro
duces on his form the meat, vegetables,
etc., necessary for his family, he has
the lion's share of the'gain, in the flse
in gold.
"On the other hand, tho workman
found it very difficult to get an in
crease in his wages, as gold advanced.
It required four years for him to get an
average Increase of 20 per cent, in his
earnings, while the farmer had been
receiving the benefits of an increase
in the gold premium averaging more
than fifty per cent, for the same per
iod. In the meantime the merchant
found It easy and profitable to increase
the price of his goods, in keeping with
the rise of gold. Rents likewise In
creased, although more slowly, and as
the prices of all commodities rose the
laborer found himself daily being made
poorer. Agitato as he would, he could
not get his salary increased in any
reasonable proportion to the Increase
in the premium on gold. Strikes were
resorted to; all sorts of efforts made
to bring about an increase in his re
ceipts until finally he last year reach
ed which we may call "wage hlghwater
mark."
HOW IT AFFECTS THE FARMER.
"Since then gold has steadily fallen.
The first person to feel the decline has
been the farmer who Is complaining
bitterly of the relatively low prices he
is receiving for his products, while he
finds himself obliged to pay the same
prices for what he buys that he did
when he received $2.FpO more for every
one hundred kilos of wheat than he now
receives.
The gold does not induce the mer
chant to "mark clown" his goods with
the same good will he manifested when
he advanced their price. Notwith
standing the decline' In the employers'
income, as gold falls, the workmen will
not, in all probability, consent to a
decrease In his present wages without
a bitter fight; nor can he do so unless
there Is a sharp decline In rents and in
the cost of living. As gold declines,
the wage earner who receives a gold
salary finds his Income disappearing,
while his expenses remain as before.
This period of readjustment In the
value of the money of the country has ,
brought about a complete stagnation '
In business. With the advent of low I
gold, the farmer, who made money on
its rise turned speculator and holds
grain or cattle for a hliher rate. The
merchant cannot make collections bo-
cause of this condition of things, and !
as he has to pay abroad he also be-
comes a speculator and waits for low
er geld.
"Thus everyone, to some extent, be
comes a speculator, at least to the ex
tent of tryintr to profit In some man
ner by the daily rise and fall in gokl.
Of the fact that the unsettled and
shifting value thus given to the cur
rency of this republic injures trade
here, there can be no question; and it
can be equally stated as a fact that
the wide fluctuations that have taken
place In the value of the currency
within the past year or two have
brought on a commercial situation far
from satisfactory to the merchants,
farmers or workingmen."

Paris, Oct. 2fi. The "Figaro" pub
lishes a despatch from Constantinople
which states that an lrade will shortly
be published, decreeing sweeping re
forms. Including that the portfolios of
minister for foreign affairs, minister
of finance, minister of agriculture and
minister of public works shall be held
by Christians, three Turka and one
European; that Christian governors
shall be appointed for the vilayets
where a majority of the population is
composed of Christians and that a
mixed general council shall be elected
In each province. Its proceedings to be
subject to a council of state.
Constantinople, Oct. 2o, via Sofia,
Bulgaria, Oct. 2G. The report that
trouble of a serious nature la brewing
here has so often been sent out that
any fresh announcement to that effect
Is looked upon as having little or no
foundation In fact. But, In spite of
this, it is but right to state once more
that everything points to further and
very serious trouble preparing on all
sides throughout the Turkish empire.
The ball was set rolling on Wednes
day last when the sultan signed two
irades which were issued the next day,
levying a poll tax of five piastres per
head on all Massulmans and increas
ing the taxes on sheep, public works
and education by 1 to lVe per cent., the
funds so raised to be devoted to mili
tary purposes. This caused the repre
sentatives of the powers to send a col
lective note to the porte, couched In
the strongest languuge, calling atten
tion to the danger that the arming of
the Mussulmans was certain to create
and pointing out generallt the critical
situation of unalrs In theWurkish em
pire. But large purchases of arms
have already been made and the dan
ger increases hourly.
PORTE EVASIVE AS USUAL.
The Porte today sent'a reply to the
collective note of the ambassadors. As
usual, however. It was an evasive an
swer, and in substance simply stated
that the money derived from the addi
tional taxes was only Intended to com
plete the armament of the Mustahfuj,
or Landstrum, the third and last class
of the Turkish army reserves, and to
strengthen the armament of the other
lund forces of the sultan, which con
sist of the Nizam, or regular army, and
its active reserve, the Redif, or Land
wahr, and the Mustahfuz, already re
ferred to.
Conscripts In Turkey serve six years
In the Nizam, four with the colore and
two in the reserve, they then serve
eight years in the Redif, four In the
first class and four In the second. Then
they complete their twenty years' ser
vice by servlngg six years in the Mus
tahfuz. The action of the Turkish gov
ernment in completing the armament
of the Mustahfuz indicates that the
empire is facing a situation which may
necessitate calling forth all the mili
tary forces at its disposal, and It also
Indicates that the situation is the
gravest since the Russo-Turklsh war.
Under these circumstances it is but
natural that considerable uneasiness
prevails. Of course, there is always
In view the probability at least that
the sultan, by these movements, is
simply seeking to distract the atten
of his subjects from the actual state
of affairs brought about by his mal
administration, and that seeing that
the powers are really In earnest and
that an understanding between Russia,
France and Great Britain means de
cisive action, he is by these arma
ments practically threatening a whole
sale massacre of the Christians and an
nouncing that Turkey will resist to the
utmost any attempt at armed coer
cion. THE SULTAN'S ONLY CHECK.
Happily, there is one feature of the
crisis which has a soothing Influence
upon Abdul Hamid. The financial sit
uation is the one referred to. It is
about ns bad as It possibly can be.
All negotiations upon the part of the
Turkish government for a temporary
loan have failed, and the condition of
the treasury is one of utter helpless
ness. On top of this the price of
bread has risen 40 per cent., and bids
fn'r to rise still higher as the price of
wheat goes up. This has decidedly ag
gravated the prevailing distress, and
its consequent discontent. The police j
continue making arrests, and it Is un- I
derstood that many more bombs have
been found. j
In Armenia the greatest apprehen- :
slon exists. The time for massacres
seems to have arrived. About a year
has passed since the terrible massacres
of November. 1895, and the echoes of
the recent massacres In the city of
Egin ure Just reaching here, In spite of
the efforts made by the Porte to sup- :
press anything but the official news.
The Armenians of Egin were the most
refined, intelligent and wealthy of that
part of Armenia. They escaped tho
massacres and plunder of last year oy
the payment of a large ransom: but
the under governor of the district, for
some time previous to September last,
is known to have been writing to Con
stantinople Informing the authorities
there that the Armenians of Epin were
disloyal and, It is said, shortly after
the recent troubles at Constantinople,
a telegram was received by the gover
nor general of the Province of Khurput
from the palace, saying:
"We hear that the Armenians of Egin
are disloyal. Why do you not attend
to it?"
CHRISTIANS BECAME ALARMED.
According to Turkish methods, this
was understood to be an order to the
goveinor general to treat the Armeni
ans of Egin as those of other places
have been treated. Naturally, the
Christians became alarmed whn this
news leaked out on Monday, Sept 14;
they closed their shops and barricaded
themselves In their houses, as large
numbers of Kurds had been seen hov
ering about the outskirts of the city.
Thereupon the under governor sent
word to the Armenians that the Kurds
had been driven off, and he summoned
the Armenians to the market and made
them open their shops. In consequence
on Tuesday, Sept. 15, the shops were
opened and business was going on as
usual when, suddenly, a gun was fired
in the upper quarter of the city, evi
dently a signal, and the massacre be
gan. For three days the killing of Ar
menians was continued, but the massa
cre was carried out by the Turkish
soldiers and the Turkish populace, and
not by the Kurds. The sultan's exe
cutioners first devoted themselves to
killing, then to plunder and lastlv to
burning the houses. During; the dis
order more women and children were
killed In Egin than la any other place
heard ot directly.
ABUSE FOR HANNA.
Trades I'nion Committee Calls Him
an "industrial Cannibal."
Chicago, Oct. 26. The executive com
mittee of the Trades Union Silver club
of Chicago, with the approval of the
Democratic national committee, has
addressed an appeal to the farmers
and agricultural laborers of Illinois,
and of the Mississippi Valley.
The document calls Mark Hanna an
"industrial cannibal," who has en
deavored to secure the purchaseable
vote, "which always exists in great
centers of population by the lavish and
corrupt use ot money, and to array
that vote against the interests of the
agriculturists." Coercion of the incor
ruptable wage-earners in the cities is
also freely charged.

SPANISH VICTORIOUS.
The Cuban Rebels Are Compelled to
Flee Altera Bloody Fight at
Pinar D2I Rio.
Havana, Oct. 26. Colonel Segura
has reported to the government that
his command surprised a body of re
bels at Garganta Soroa, province of
Pinar Del Rio, and that in the lighting
that followed, four of the insurgents
were killed. The Spanish, by this vic
tory gained possession of a route to
the hills and started to build trenches
to defend their position. While em
ployed in this work the troops were
continually fired upon by rebels, but
no losses were sustained. On Oct. 24
Colonel Segura left the main body of
his command and with a small force
Btarted to reconnoitre the country. On
his way back he learned that the 54a
mora battallion was engaged with the
rebels. He, therefore, hurried to the
scene of the lighting and took part in
the combat.
The rebels made desperate efforts to
carry the Spanish position and thus
open the way for their return to the
hills, but were compelled to retreat,
closely followed by the Spaniards. A
series of bloody tights occurred dur
ing the two days of the pursuit. The
rebels left sixty-one dead on the field,
but It is believed that their losses were
much heavier than this. The troops
lost a lieutenant and twenty-one pri
vates killed, and one hundred and ten
wounded, Including: four, captains and
two lieutenants.

Camden, N. J Oct. 26. Hon. Garret
A. Hobart. the Republican vice pres
idential candidate, made his first for
mal address of the campaign here to
night. He was enthusiastically re
ceived. The city was gayly decorated In hon
or of the occasion, the display of flags
and bunting being elaborate.
When the vice presidential nomine
appeared on the stage ot the Temple
theater the 2,500 attendants who crowd
ed the building to the doors, cheered
for several minutes. The meeting was
presided over by Samuel T. Bailey, of
Camden, and when he introduced Mr.
Hobart as "New Jersay's most honor
ed son and our next vice president,"
the audience became wildly enthus
iastic. Mr. Hobart spoke for over half an
hour and he was Interrupted by ap
plause at frequent intervals.
After referring to this as his first
public appearance before his fellow cit
izens because his time has been taken
up with other campaign details, the
speaker dwelt upon the fact that for
twenty-five years he has been active
In the Republican cause. He reviewed
Camden county politics at some length,
paying a tribute to Senator Sewall, and
deplored "the carelessness of the aver
age voter" in 1892,' in giving the state
15,000 plurality for Cleveland.
DISTRESS OF DEMOCRATIC RTJLK.
Mr. Hobart reviewed the prosperity
which existed throughout the country
Just prior to a condition "never
before known or seen or felt by any
country under the sun," and told of
distress that followed the election of a
Democratic president.
Mr. Hobart continued:
When the Wilson bill passed, the coun
try was still in distress. Our revenues,
in addition to all other griefs that had
come upon ns, were cut off. The Wilson
bill failed to pay the expenses of the gov
ernment and has failed 'ever since. In
stead of a full treasury, an empty one has
confronted us every hour since. Appro
priations are not paid and cannot 1m paid.
The Republican party has not changed.
It ftamls exactly where it did in ISM. It
Is In favor of a protective tariff, McKin
ley bill, or some new bill. The economic!
(tuesllun is the same, we must prepare to
pay our debts or go bankrupt.
upon the mills by your votes rather than
the mints to the silver of the world. Ev
ery one knows how. Why should there be
a difference on so plain a subject? Every
man has Intelligence enough to know, or
ought to know, that our government
should not be made bankrupt by a free
t.adu bill; that we had better have open
mills here than to send to Europe for our
goods. Every one knows enough to know
that this country must live and is too
great to fail to pay its honest debts. All
agree that a protective tariff bill, on
proper lines, with proper schedules, should
be passed.
The speaker then turned his 'attention
to the financial question, and dissected
the money plank of the Chicago plat
form, which convention he declared
was not a Democratic gathering. He
made a somewhat extended explana
tion of "16 to 1," argued upon the fal
lacy of the movement and classed it as
degrading to the country. Mr. Hobart
declared that the only persons who
would be benefitted by the free and
unlimited coinage of silver would be
silver mine owners and sliver bullion
dealers, and he was emphatic In stat
ing that It would make every other
man's dollar worth fifty cents. He re
ferred to the Sherman and Bland laws
which compelled the United States to
buy 4fi4. 000,000 ounces of silver for
$460,009,000, the purchase resulting in
"an absolute loss to the people of $160,
000,000." THE MONET ISSCE.
Mr. Hobart treated the money Issue
In a concise manner, and classed, as
persons who "would suffer the most by
this debauching proposition," the sav
ings fund depositors, those Interested
in building and loan associations, pen
sioners, life Insurance policy holders,
and wage earners all of whom would
receive Just half of the face value of
their claims. "I have but little pa
tience with this silver business," the
nominee went on to say, "for it seems
to me that a bare statement of what It
is would damn it."
Mr. Hobart stated that reputable
Democrats are not supporting Bryan.
He quoted the financial plank of the
Republican platform, and concluded:
Such Is the Republican platform and
such is the platform upon wMeh I stand.
I accept Its principles. I approve its pol
icy. It needs 'tio argument to sustain it.
In addition to this formulation of Its ex
pressed provisions I believe, as I stated
in my letter of acceptance, that on hon
est dollar worth HH) cents cannot be coined
out of M cents' worth of silver plus a leg
islative flat. Such u debasement of our
currency would inevitably produce Incal
culable loss, appalling disaster and na
tional dishonor.
REPUBLICAN DECLARATIONS.
The Republican party says that the
government should not be permitted to
use the stamp of a dollur on materials
which nre worth less than lut) cents and
that any such dollar Is debased or fradu
lent and not an honest dollar. It says so
long as the country trifles with this ques
tion so long will all Interests suffer and so
long will confidence not be restored. It
says that the nation's honor committed
to us by the fathers and by us preserved
unsullied by tho sacrifice of blood und the
expenditure of treasure is a sacred herl
tage, for It is the nation's life. To strlkn
at it Is a crime and an act of treason. To
preserve, and transmit untarnished to our
descendants Is the duty of every loyal and
patriotic citizen. Finally It proclaims to
all the world that grand old principle of
Republican government, the unchanging
and unchangeable foundation of a gov
ernment of the people, for the people,
equal powers, equal privileges, equul du
ties and equal burdens to all the people
under the law.
Mr. Hobart finally quoted briefly
from "that eminent Democrat, Bourke
Cockran, of New York," upon tnis
"tide of Populist agitation," and as he
sat down the audience cheered him
loudly.
Governor Griggs followed with a
forcible address, and then Mr. Hobart
and the governor held another recep
tion at the rooms of the Camden Re
publican club.
The vlce-presldentlal nominee and
the governor will be the guests of Sena
tor Sewell until tomorrow, when they
will go to Jersey City, where Mr. Ho
bart will speak tomorrow afternoon.
