FIFTEEN THOUSAND MEN TURN OUT. Pilgrimages to the Shrine of the Republican Nominee Are Very Popular. WAGEWORKERS WHO LONG FOR PROTECTION. Possibilities of the Nation and the Way to Prosperity Pointed Out by the Next President. CANTON, O=mro, Sept. 26.—Major Me- Kinley made eleven speeches to-day and spoke to sixteen delegations, numbering in the aggregate about 15000 persons. The delegations were in the main com- posed of laboring men, and the spokes- men in most cases took occasion to assure Major McKinley that the men came of their own free will, paid their own fares and in some cases lost balf a day’s wages. The delegations arrived so rapidly this afternoon that Major McKinley could not take time to shake hands with his callers, and he is a good deal less fatigued to-night than he would have been had he grasped the hands of several thousana persons. Next week wiil be an active one. There are two or more delegations scheduled for every day except Saturday, when there will be fifteen. b Major McKinley’s most active day of the campaign commenced with the call of the Peoria Republican Traveling Men’s Club. The Peoria men, 200 in number, left home at 2 o’clock Friday afternoon and reached here at 9:20 this morning. This delegation traveled iarther than any that bas visited Major McKinley save the one which came from Vermont. Major McKinley was enthusiastically cheered when he appeared on the porch. In response to the remarks of Spokesman Graff, Major McKinley said: 1am more than glad to greet at my home the Traveling Men's Republican Club of the city of Peoria. 1 congratulate you upon the thriving city and glorious State in which you live. it is, by the census, the third State in the Amer- ican Union. It comes to few States to have furnished to this glorfous Union the matchless men you have furnished—Yates and Oglesby and thet splendid statesman and patriot, John A. Logan, and that great Democrat, Ste- vhen A. Douglas, who loved his country more than he loved his party and supported Mr. Lincoln in thet crucial period in the history of the Republic. [Applause] And no man can think of your great State without recalling that you furnished Abraham Lincoln, the mightiest statesman of the country. [Ap- plause.] And General Ulysses S. Grant, the greatest warrior of the Republic. [Renewed cheering.] When Abraham Lincoln issuea his 1mmortal proclamation of liberty the ‘whole world knew $hat ‘what Lincoln had decreed Grant would execute with the thunder of his artillery. [Great applause and cries of “Good, good!”] I am glad to know that your prospects are so good for & splenaid victory in Illinois this year. [Tre- mendouscheering 'nd cries of *‘We will give McKinley 150,000.”] What a spectacle, my friends, to the world in this Government of 70,000,000 of free people governed by them- seives and governing tbemselves, changing their Chief Executive every four years and their law-making power every two years, if it be their willso to do, and the Government going on without halt or interruption, working out what 70,000,000 of people from time to time believe will subserve their highest destiny. More than 120 years have passed since the Government was founded, ana in every trial of our history we have demonstrated our ca- pacity for seli-government, and shown to all mankind tne blessings and advantages of the Republic. [Great applause and cries of “That’s right!”] Now and then in our popular elections we may have been swayed by passion or moved by the demagogue from our moorings; but the American people are never fooled but once on s subject. [Cheers.] For when once deceived they never follow the deceiver the second time. [Renewed cheering and cries of “Right!”] I have known and £o0 have you times in our his- tory when the majority of the people were made to believe that certain policles would serve thelr best interests and ‘when it trans- pired that they did not they swiftly turned upon the party which deceived them and turned it out of power [cheers and cries of “Good, good!”] and they will do it again. The judgment of the people isswiftand terrible against those who mislead and delude them. The people are never led astray by deceit or misrepresentation when they investigate for themselves. This they are doing this year in & marked degree. It is of no avail that party leaders appeal to passjon when the people are alive to their own and the public interests. It will not do to say to the men who are poor in this world’s goods, “You must . et off by yourselves, form a class of your own, your interests are opposed to those who employ you.” Tnat is not enough this year. The poor man inquires: “What good will that do me? How will that petter my condition? How will that uring bread to my family and cheer to my children? WillI be benefited by despoiling my employer? Will it give me more employment and better wages (0 strike down those whose money 1s invested in pro- ductive enterprises which give me work and wages?” Four years ago it was said that the manufscturer was making too much money. You remember it. But that cannot be said now. [Cries of “No, no.”] And that the rob- ber tar.ff which was enriching him mustbe torn up root and branch, 1o the end that he should be deprived of what some people were pleased to call his “ill-gotten gains.” The country seemed to share in tue suggestion and the trial was entered upon, with what result every manufacturer, commercial man, travel- ing man or workingman best knows. It has been discovered .to our hurt snd sorrow that you cannot injure the manufecturer without injuring the laborer. [Appleuse and cries of “That's right.”] It has been found t0o, that you cannot injure the manufacturer without injuring the whole business of the country. [Renewed eries of *“That's right.”’] You may close the shops by adverse tariffs, because you imagine the manufacturer is msaking too much, but with that done you close the door of employment in the face of the laborer, whose only capital is his labor. [Great cheering.) You cannot punish the one without punishing the other, and our policy would not inflict the slightest injury upon either. [Applause.] In such acase ‘‘getting off together” does not do either any good. calamity and an irreparable injury to both. Class appeals are dishonest and dishonor- able. They only calculate to separate those who should be united, for our economic in- terests are common and indivisible. Rather, my fellow-citizens, teach the doctrine thatit is the duty and privilege of every man to rise. That with honest industry he can advance himself to the best place in the shop, the store, the counting-house or in the learned profes- sions, This is the doctrine of equality and oppor- tunity thatis woven in every fiber of our Ne- tional being [great applause], & doctrine which has enabled the pooresi boy with the hum- blest surroundings to reach the best place in our great industries and in the highest trusts which can be bestowed by & generous people. Gentlemen, and I speak to my countrymen everywhere, if you have not yourselves been among the most fortunate, I pray you think of your boys and girls and pluce no obstacles in their pathway to the realization of every lofty ana honorable ambition which they may have. [Great applause.] I prayGod that the burdens of class may never be imposed upon American mankood and American womanhood. [Re- newed and continued applause.] The second delegation to reach the Mc- Kinley residence was one of 2500 em- ployes of the Jones & Laughlin Company of Pittsburg. Tney marched up with four bands of, music and made an impres- sive showing on the streets. The whole delegation passed into the yard, and made the most compact and densely massed crowd Major McKinley has addressed. A locai glee club sang a campaign song, and then Major McKinley stepped out on the porch. The lusty workingmen broke into a storm of cheers. The spokesman, C. C. Briggs, said the delegation contained a large number of men who have hitherto been uncompromising Democrats. In re- sponse to the spokesman’s thoughtful ad- dress Major McKinley said: Iam highly honored by this call from the workingmen of the great Jones-Laughlin estab- lishment of tue city of Pittsburg. [Greatap- plause.] Mr. Lincoln once said that the ques- tion of a tariff was a question of National housekeeping; thai we must have a tariff which would supply the mealtubof the Gov- ernment and not interfere with the mealtub of the people. The mealtub ‘of the Govern- ment has been very low for the last turee years and a half [cries of “That’s right!”}, and the mealtub of the people has also been very materially lessened. [Applause.] Now, what we want in this country, whether we be Demo- crats or Republicans, is such & tariff policy as will secure to the Federal treasury ample Tevenue to run the Government and protect American labor and American workingmen from the competition of the cheaper labor of other lands. [Great cheering and eries of “‘Hurrah for McKinley "] There is no man in this audience, I care not what may be his na- tionality, I care not what his past party affilia- tions, who does not know that thiscountry has enjoyed throughout its history the highest and largest prosperity when we were living un- der an American protective system. [Greatap- plause.] There never was such great prosper- ity in this country as there was from 1880 to 1892 [Cries of “That’s 501"}, and we had thena. protective tariff which defended American wages and American markets from foreign competition, and we had at the same time a monetary system which gave to thiscouniry the best money known in the world. [Great applause.] Iam proud of the State of Penn- sylvania, because that glorious State has 2lways led on this great doctrine of & protec- tive tariff for the American people. [Applause and a voice: “You will find out what we will do in November, Major.”] We must get back to that plane of prosperity from which we ran away in 1892. X'y fellow-citizens, I make no personal appeal to you. Imake no appeal for mere party’s sake in this contest. This is a Government of the people. Every man has an equal right with every other man, but I appeal to you in the interest of your own work, in the interest of your own wages, in the interest of your own families and your own households, to cast your vote for that party and for those principles which will best subserve those great interests. [Tremendous applanse and cries of “We will.”] Not only do we want & protective policy in the United States, but we want sound money. paid in good doilars worth 100 cents every day and everywhere. [Applsuse and cries of “Good, g00d.”] Labor loses more by a depreciated cur. Tency than any other part of our population. [Criesof “That'sright.”] The men wbho have money keep their finger upon the financial pulse. They know what is the best mo:iey and they know what is the poorest money and they always pass out ihe poorest that will pass cur- Arraying labor against capital is & public | When labor is paid it must insist upon being | [Great applanse.] “John D.
