Delegation of fitters and Farmers Call

ADDRESSES THEM ON THE TARIFF
State Convention of Gold Democrats In
Philadelphia-Mr. Bryan tho Guest of
Chairman Hlnkley at Wlnnlsook
Lodge, In the CatsklU Mountains.
Canton, O., Auk. 25. A thousand work
men from tho twenty-eight potteries of
East Llvorpool, O., traveled seventy-five
mllos yesterday to call on Major Mc
KInley ot his homo. Chairman . u
Smith, Colonol J. N. Taylor and W. R
Ulnko headed tho dolcgutlon. Tho latter
Is 11 pottery bonch worker nnd n good
tlilkor. Tho visitors on tho way to Can
ton nnd later on tholr march to Major
McKlnloy's rcsldonoo attracted recruits
until 3,000 men assembled about thohouso.
Aftor tho Introductory speeches Major
McKinloy spoke, In part, ns follows'
"There is no industry, my fellow citi
zens in tho United Stutos which domnnds
or descrvos protoctlon through our tarilT
laws more than yours. Itls a business re
quiring technical and nrtlstlo knowledge
nnd tho most careful attention to tho many
and dcllcato procosses through which the
raw material must pass to tho completed
product. Down to 1802 tho pottery indus
try of tho United Statos had uchioved llt
tlo or no success and had mado but slight
advancement in n practical nnd commer
cial way. At tho closo of tho low tariff
period of 1M0 thoro was but ono white
waro pottery in tho United States, with
two small kilns. Decorating kilns were
not known. In 1873, encouraged by tho
tariff and tho gold premium, which was
an added protection, we had increased to
twenty potteries with sixty-eight kilns,
but still no decorating kilns. In 1882 thero
wero flfty-flvo potteries, 211 kilns, twenty
six decorating kilns. Tho wages paid in
tho pottcrlos in 1882 wero $2,!lS7,0O0, and
tho numlier of omploycs engaged therein
7,000, or 45 per cent. You liavo twenty
olght pottorios in tho city of East Liver
pool today.
"Tho dlfferenco botwoen tho wagos of
labor in this country and of foreign coun
tries you know liettor than I can tell you.
When tho law of 188.'! was onncted I stated
on tho lloor of congress that if tho duty of
05 per cent, nnd (50 per cent, was givon as
recommended by tho 1)111 then pending In
less than flvo years tho quality of Ameri
can waro would bo Improved, the quantity
increased, and tho prico to tho consumer
sensibly dlmlshcd. That prophecy has
been moro than verified.
"My fellow citizens, tho people in 1802
wero busy at work nnd gavo llttlo uttcn
tlon to politics. Thoy will not bo so in
different ngaln. Thoy havo moro timo this
year than thoy had four years ago, and
nro giving onrnest attention and activo
work to tho national contest which is en
gaging tho country. Wo aro growing
moro and moro to rocognlzo tho great
necessity of every citizen giving personal
and serious thought to his political duties,
Businessmen, workingnionund tho pooplo
generally aro coming to roallzo that busi
ness mid politics aro closely related; that
bad politics mean bad business, and that
politics cannot bo neglected without en
dangering our occupations, our earnings
and our labor. Wo have had some dis
tressing o.tperienco in this direction which
has taught us that if wo do not keep our
business our businoss will not koop us,
and that If somebody elso does our work
wo will havo no work to do at homo.
A short timo after tho East Liverpool
worklngmen dopurted a delegation of
farmers from Knox county, O., marched
up to tho McKinloy rcidonco. Thoy wero
most warmly greeted along their lino of
march. It was tho llrst delegation com
posed outirely of farmers which has visited
Major McKinlcy since his nomination. In
nddrossing them tho candldato said:
"Free silver will not euro over produc
tion nor under consumption. Froo silver
will not remove tho competition of Itussin,
India and tho Argonttno republic. This
competition would romaln if you coined
nil tho silver of tho world. r reo silver will
not increase the demand for your wheat or
mako a sluglo now consumer. You don't
got consumers through tho mints. You
get them through tho factories. You will
not get thorn by Increasing tho circulation
of money in tho United States. You will
only get thorn by Increasing the manu
facturing establishments in tho United
States.
" 'Plant tho factory by tho farm,' said
Jackson, nnd that is as wiso now and as
applicable now as when tho hero of Now
Orleans said It years ago. Tho best thing
now Is for tho farmer to havo a factory for
his neighbor. It would bo bettor to havo
u factory along sldu of you than to havo
another farm along side of you. I havo no
fear of tho farmer tho most conservative,
tho most considerate and tho most sturdy
of our splendid civilization. 1 hoy are not
easily misled. They havo no aim In poli
ties but an honest ono. In 1892, when f reo
trado was tho battle cry of our oppononts,
It was said then that tho farmers would
follow this heresy, but it was not so. It
was tho cities which followod tho free
trade heresy in this country. Tho country
voted for protection while tho great cities
did not. So this year thoy will vote against
free trade and freo silver! thoy will voto
for a home markot and for a dollar as good
us gold in every market of tho world."

According to John C. llullltt, chairman
of the convention, tho question of room
mendlng tho placing of a third presiden
tial ticket in the Held has not lieen consid
ered. Chief Interest, of course, centers In
the platform to lie adopted. Tills docu
ment, which is unusually brief, will lo de
voted almost entirely to the money ques
tion, and It is believed that the Allontown
platform will bo ruallirmed by the con
vention.
It was decided to recommend to the con
vention that those placed on the state bal
lot 13 under the heading "JetTorsonlun
Party." This is because of the belief that
tho laws of this state Will not allow any
heading to n tlckot that may lead voters
to isdtifuso It with another ticket.

MANY ROPES OF THE TENT CUT.
Tho Audience Was Quickly Dismissed as
the Tent Gavo Evidence of Falling A
Canvassmnn Fired at a Boy Who
Tried to Crawl Under the Tent.
Tho people who attended the performance
of Hunting circus at the Trotting park last
night got more in the sensational lino than
the program called for, and side issues of a
very realistic character. Just before tho
performance commenced tho report of a
pistol shot rang through the air. It startled
ninny of the audience- under the tent, but
the circus employes ie-nssured thoso who ex
pressed alarm nnd the mutter was evidently
dismissed from thought by the audience.
It was not so outside tho tent, however.
The shot which caused the report had been
lired by a canvassman at a boy who tried to
cmwl under the tent to see tho performance.
Fortunately tho bullet went wide of its murk
and nobody wnB injured; but others who were
assembled outsldo the tent took up tho boy's
cnuso nnd determined upon vengeance for
tho shooting. Tho oinvas'sinen were kept
busy all night preventing intrusion nnd dam
use to tho tent, hut in spite of their utmost
vigilance the boys tlnnlly gut in their work
by cutting the ropes of the tent. Tho im
menso canopy commenced to sink gradually,
but not enough to cause any alarm until the
performance wns about over. When the final
net wns hurriedly performed and the ring
master announced that owing to the cutting
of many of tho tout ropes tho manager did
not consider it safe to give the concert that
usually follows tho performances. Tho
audience contained in thu opinion nnd loft
tho plnco without delay.
Tho boss canvasman of the circus subse
quently stated that sixteen ropes of tho
main tent bad been cut and it wns with tho
greatest difficulty that his men succcedid in
preventing the tent from falling during the
pcrfonna mo.
There wns no personal encounter between
the canvas-aiien and the outsiders, and it is
fortunate that there wns not, as the circus
men were prepared for any emergency and
an encounter would hnve been costly to the
outsiders. Hunting's circus was attacked by
a crowd in a similar manner several years
ago while hero and Inter Hunting threatened
suit for $10,000 damages against tho borough,
but the matter ended in threats.
