"HAVING DIMINISHED OUR BUSINESS, THEY NOW SEEK TO DIMINISH THE VALUE OF OUR MONEY. HAVING CUT WAGES IN TWO, THEY WANT TO CUT THE MONEY IN WHICH WAGES ARE PAID; AND WE WILL NOT HAVE EITHER THE ONE OR THE OTHER." This was Major McKinley's stern in dictment of the Democratic party in a speech which he delivered to a delega tion of 2, cOO citizens of Lawrence county last Saturday afternoon. Major McKin ley was never in letter form than when he mounted his chair to speak. His speech is classed as one of the best he has made since his nomination. It roused the enthusiasm of those who heard it to the highest pitch. There was no evasion of the issue of the hour; no hesitancy in speaking the truth about the present low-tariff Dem ocratic administration, even though the information has been conveyed to the Major repeatedly that if he will abandon the tariff and cease his denunciation of the Wilson bill, he will be indorsed al the Indianajiolis Sound Money Democra tic Convention. "WE WILL HAVE NEITHER FREE TRADE NOR FREE SILVER, AND THE WING OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAT CONTROLLED THE CHICAGO CONVEN TION IS JUST AS MUCH IN FAVOR OF FREE TRADE AS THE WING OK THE DEMOCRA TIC PARTY THAT IS IN CONTROL OF THE NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION." This was the Major's answer, given in his speech of last Saturday. The delegation was a grand outpour ing of Pennsylvania Republicans. They astonished even the Cantonese with their enthusiasm and splendid appearance. The delegation's train was run in three sections and included 26 cars in all. The towns of NewCastle, Ellwood, Wampum, Mahoningtown and Bessemer were all well represented. On the end of the first section of the train was a fiat car on which was an im- ■wm filfrces of f>uficts, bugles and other war relics. The cannon was in charge of J. R. Trax, of New Ca3tle. All along the route the calliope was kept playing and the cannon booming, and the people who rushed to their doors to see what it all meant caught a glimpse of a swiftly moving train covered with flags anil streamers and banners of all kinds, bear ing such inscriptions an, "What would we do without McKinley?" and McKin ley forever!" At many of tile stations along the road word had been received that the delega tion was coming, ami there were large crowds at the depot to cheer for McKin ley and wish they were going along. At Canton, the usual mounted escort and about halt the population of the town were at the depot and a monster street parade was formed. A four-horse dray was in waiting, and after much hard work the calliope was placed on this and carried at the head of the pro cession. Then came the cannon, which halted every two or three minutes to fire a salute that rent the air for miles around. There was in addition to this three bands and a drum corps in the line. The first was the large Kxcelsior Cornet band of Ellwood. The musicians wore caps made of McKinley tin. Then there were the Kast Brooke Cornet baud, the Key stone Club band and the New Castle Drum Corps. The procession stretched out for a mile. With the calliope, the cannon and the bands, the noise was tremen dous. Added to this were the frequent cheers of those on the sidewalks and in the line of march. The banners carried were significant and met with the great est applause. Some of the most striking inscriptions were as follows: "No ten cent a day Chinese monetary system for us." "We want our factory furnaces started, not silver mine owners made rich." "iJown with the Anarchists!" "Give us back the prosperous days of the McKinley tariff.'' One in the sha(>c of a keystone read "16 to I —Sixteen men out of work to one working." On the calliope were the words, "Lawrence county blows for McKinley and Ifobart." On a huge tin horn carried on the shoulders of eight strong men were the words, "Coodby, Willie Bryan." All of these sentiments created ail greatest enthusiasm as the procession passed along the streets. Almost all of Canton went with the delegates to Major McKinley's house. The crowd filled the yard and street and overran the adjoin ing yards. Many climbed the trees in the Major's yard in order to see him when he appeared. Ex-Congressman Oscar L. Jackson was the orator of the i'ay. He, with Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Phillips, Mr. and Mrs. R. A, Todd ami Mrs. J. H. Hamilton, entered the house and were introduced to Major and Mrs. McKinley. Presently Major McKinley appeared anil the applause that greeted nim was deafening. It last ed fully five minutes. After Colonel Jackson hud spoken, and just before Major McKinley began to speak, the threatening clouds opened ami it began to rain. 'I his did not dampen the en thusiasm of the thousands however. Every man and woman in the crowd stood in the rain, listening and cheering just -is if the sun was shining. The few who were fortum te to have umbrellas very soon forgot about the rain and be gan tossing tbeui in the air iu their en thusiasm. The following is Major Mc Kinley's speech in full: I note with great satisfaction the mes sage which your eloquent spokesman brings me, that the people of Pennsyl vania have lost none of their devotion to the great principles of the Republican party, and that this year they will to the Republican National ticket an un rivaled Republican majority, [Cries of "We will do that all right."] Nor am I surprised, my fellow citi/.eus, that this i.« so. We have had three years of biltcr experience under a policy which the Re publican party has always opposed, and there has been nothing In that experience to win us to that policy; but everything to increase our d> votion to the old policy, of protection which stands opposed to it. 1 was glad to meet my distinguished friend, Colonel Jackson, with whom I served in the Congress of the Lulled {States, and to again hear his eloquent voice, as I have often heard it in thi halls of the National House, speak', nj for the great doctrines of the Republics! party: <'.octrine? the success of which in volve the highest prosperity and we,fan of the American people. The earnest thought of the people thi: y<.ar is directed to the present conditio: of the country and how best to improvi it. This is the thought of every mm< and the praver of every soul. Nobody - satisfied with our unfortunate busines condition, and the great body o» th< people want a:<d mean to have a change What shall the change be? Shall it t>. the continuance of the present Demo cratic partv, under ancther leadershij [Cries of "No, no."] a leadership advo eating all the policies of the Democrats party which have been injurious to thi American people? The wing of the Democratic part: which controlled the Chicago conventioi is just as much in favor of free trade a the wing of the Democratic party in con trol of the National Administration Most oi those prominent in that conven tion were conspicuous leaders in tie as sault upon ->ur industries and labcr mailt by the Fifty-' hird Congress. They ar devoted to * this un-American and de structive policy and were chiefly in strumental in putting upon the statun books tariff legislation which has de stroyed American manufacturing, check ed our foreign trade and reduced the de mand for the labor of American ingmen. It stands opposed to recipro city, too, the splendid results o. whicl were so sienaliy manifest during the ad ministration of President Harrison. The pe>:ple of this country have con demned the policies of this party in the* particulars in every election since 1892 Thev are only waiting now for a chaiio to resjister again, and all along the line unitedly their opposition to this ire< trade heresy in the general election nex November. [Applause and cries of "W< can hardly wait till the election Major."] If there was, therefore, bu one question —that of protection agains free trade—we have it just as sharpl; drawn and as distinctively presents through the Chicago Convention wins of the Democratic party as we had 1 through the united party in 1K92; and 1 triumph this year for the Chicago plat form would lie a signal victory for fre< trade and for the continuance of fre< trade legislation, which has already re suited so disastrously to the America! people, entailing upon the Government deficient revenues, upon the peoplt diminished trade abroad and starvation wages at home. This wing of the Democratic party be lieves not only in free trade, but it 1K;- lieves in free silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. [Cries of "Down with free silver."] Hav ing diminished our business, they now seek, to diminish the value of our money. Having cut wages in two, they want to cut the money in which the wages are paid in two; we will not have either the one or the other. _ The other win}? of the Democratic party is partriotically striving for the public honor, and is opposed to free sil ver because it believes that such a policy would disturb existing values, contract the currency of the country by depriving us of the use of gold, and putting us up on a silver basis, thus creating wide spread panic and bringing to even- American interest serious injury. My fellow citizens will the people turn to that party for relief whose jiplicy has created the conditions under which we are suffering and from which they are crying out to be relieved? [Cries of "No, no; never."] What we want now is business activity and confidence. With business confidence restored, money will invest in private and public enterprise, and when so invested labor will fie well rewarded and the toil of the husbandman will lie fully requited. Without confi dence money will lie hoanled and the wheels of industery stopped, ami what that means many of the men IK-fore me know. [A voice: "We have lived on sunshine too long."] Then the farmer, the merchant, the manufacturer, the liborer and those of other useful occupa tions alike will suffer. Gentlemen, confidence lies at the foundations of active and successful business operations. We cannot restore confidence by a proposition to debase the currency of the Government and scale down public and private obligations. Such a proposition strikes at the very life of credit and business. It makes it harder to get money for legitimate and worthy enterprises by deliberately pro posing to pay back what has been already borrowed in a depreciated currency. The people, which will confiscate the partial earn ings of labor in the savings banks and building and loan associations, and the investments of the people in insurance companies; and I do not believe that the American people will ever consent to have the pensions of our soldiers repudi ates! by a single farthing. The people want neither free trade nor free silver. The one will degrade our labor, the other our money. We are op posed—unalterably opposed—to both of them. We have tried the one in a modi fied form with disastrous results to eyery American home, and we are strongly op posed to making an experiment with the other. My fellow citizens, the people have a chance this year to take the Wilson law off the statute books and put a good American protective tariff law in its place which will provide adequate rev enues for the Government and gladden the home of every American working man. They have a chance this year to pre vent a free silver law from going on the statute books and thus keep our money of every kind now in circulation as good as gold and preserve our nation al name aljove reproach. If they do not improve the chance now, tliev will not have another opportunity for four years. Does the workmgraan, the fanner, the manufacturer, want the Wilson law to remain on the statute books four years longer? (I/md cries of "No.") Do they want reciprocity, which will give us a foreign market for our surplus agricul tural and manufactured products, to n main off the statute books for four years more? (Renewed cries of "No.") Do they want any law enacted which would compel them to receive for their wages and products, dollars worth less than 100 cents? (Cries of "No.") These are questions which every voter in the coun try must answer in his conscience and by his vote next November. Gentlemen, what shall the answer be? (Cries of "Elect McKinley," followed by tremendous cheeriny. 1 Tup. resignation of HokeSmith, Secre tary of the Interior, which has been in the hands of the President for the past five weeks was accepted last Saturday.

The cars 1 t the local freight were scattered right and left, a car load of oil-well casing was pushed diagonally acr s ttio tracs, ttie Chicago Express, bound for Pittsburg, cane thundering along just then; the ends of the casing caught on the end ol the first passenger coach and tore the whole side ar.d par* of the top of the coach off, upset the passenger car and scattered the cas ing over the passengers, and upset the cars following. In a few moments there w.w created such a chaos of wreckage as is seldom seen at a railroad disaster. Then followed the cries of the wounded passengers, pinnr d down under that awtul ioad of cs ins. tue eff■■ >rts of all the unhurt and people of the town and vicinity to rescue at.d relieve the wounded, the arrival ft he relief train from Pitts burg, and taking ol the wounded to the bospitalin Allegheny. • All the wounded were tf>ken to the hos pital excepting M "s. llyle of Evans City. who<e husband, relied the seen*, with his t.uggy, l>elore the reli f train started on its return trip, and tooK her home.

These and twenty five others were injur ed. They were all on the pa-senger coach whose side vas torn out, and npnet, and it is wonderful that none were killed out right. From under * pile of twisted easinc taken from one c rner of the car with his head pinned against a car hack, and hi* face cut from ihe nose far down on the throat, was found John M. Cnrry, of Pleas ant Hill, Liwrenoe county. He was black in the face when found, and was taken out lor dead, and laid out under the balcony of a nearby bnilding. To the surprise of everyone, in a few minutes Curry open"d ui« eyes sat up, and as he leaned to one side to rise, one Hide of the lower pj.rt 01 his face flapped out a id stood at nearly a rifht angle with his face. So stunned was he as not to feel the awful pain, and with assiftar.ee he got to his .feet and went to a box nearby, where he sat down, taking out a pencil and paper and writing out his name and address, alter several horrible ttteniwts to talk. He attempted to swttl low some water bat the fluid poure ! out of a great hole in his throat.

During an address to a delegation of farmers from Knox county, Ohio, who visited him, Monday, McKinley said: "You might just as well understand now that you cannot add value to any thing by diminishing the measure of the value with which the thing is sold or ex changed. If you can increase the value, by lowering the measure of value, and you want to benefit the farmer, then make the bushel smaller, the pound lighter and declare a legal dozen lc;.s than twelve. You cannot help the farmer by more coinage of silver. He can only lie help ed by more consumers for his products. You don't get consumers through the mints. You get them through factories. You will not get them by increasing the circulation of money Tn the United States. You will only get them by in creasing the manufacturing establish ments in the United states. MAJ.

Charles Russell, I/ord Chief-Justice of Kngland. The address was a masterly one, and Mr. Russell received an ovation at its close. He closed his lengthy address as follows: Mr. President, I begun by speaking of the two great divisions American and liritish—ol that Jvng ish speaking world which you and I represent to-day, and with one more reference to them I end. Who can doubt the influence they possess for insuring the healthy progress and the peace of mankind.' lint n this influence is to be fully felt they must work together in cordial friendship, each people in his own sphere of action. If they have great power they have also great respons ibility. No cause they e pouse can fail, no cause tliey oppose can triumph. The future is, in large part, theirs. They have the making of history in the times that are to come. The greatest calamity that could befall would be strife which should divide them. Let us pray that this shall never be. I,et us pray that they, a ways self-resjiectiug, each in hon or uplio ding its own Hag, safeguarding its own heritage of right and respecting the rights of others, each in its own way fulfilling its high national destiny, shall yet work in harmony for the progress and the pcac«; of the world.

POLITICAL NOTES Almost eery county in the State was represented at'tbe Democratic meeting in Philadelphia Tuesday; two-hundred dele gates were present, and a new party call ed the "Jefferson" was born, The convention adopted a strong, old fashioned Democratic platform, selected Pennsylvania's electors lor the national Democratic party's nominees for presi dent and vice president, chose delegates to the Indianapolis convention and elect ed a state committee to conduct a vigor ous campaign. A staff correspondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch, writing from Harrisburg re garding the "fierce battle being waged for Cameron's seat in the Senate, says statements have appeared now and then that Gov. Hastings anil John \\ ana maker have formed an alliance in the Senatorial fight against Penrose. I aik ed Lieutenant Governor Lyon about it, and he said there was nothing it it. Those who are intimate with the Gov ernor know that he is no more in accord with Wanamaker than he is with Penrose. Hastings made up with Quay, but not with the Quaker State Senator. Alto gether, the contest for the Lnited States Senate is furnishing the boys with plenty of material for speculation." FAIR VIEW. About 3 o'clock Sabbath afternoon the hearse drove in from Butler with the body of Austin Wammock to the of his parents, and owing to the decayed condi tion ot the body the luneral took place at 5 o'clock and interment in the Bearcreek cemetery. At Findley, Ohio, the deceas ed was drilling on an oil well and they suddenly struck oil, they were saturated with oil so thoroughly before they went to put the lire out in the boiler that Austin Wammock's clothes caught fire and before he could get the flames put out he was so badly burned that he died in 4 hours. His three brothers, who were engaged at or near the same place had his body dress ed and brought home in a casket by way of Butler. The Fairview correspondent of the But ler County Record seems to gather all his items from the gossipers of the town. The chimney he speaks of falling down as soon as it was finisned, did not tall on account tl any imperfect workmanship, but because the boards were taken a*ay from the joice that supported the flue, and of course 18 or 19 feet standing without any support at all would be easily started, ile also speaks of councils attention being called to tue chimneys built as they are, fie is perhavs not aware that there was an aged conucilman who has been noted for his good work in building chimneys in days gi.ne by, watching the work of all the t nimneyft on McCiur»sß hoane, and he found nc fault, neither has he heard ot any complaint uiade to any of the councilmen, so he who attaches no name to his items from Fairview to the Butler County Re cord got this news from gossipers.
