William Mc Klnley, of Ohio. Special trains brought In throngs of people from Knnsns,Iowa and Missouri to hear the great protec tionist. Business In thn city was almost sus pended and everybody witnessed tho immense, procession which preceded tho governor's speech. All along the ltno of march the buildings were decorated for the occasion, and tho parade and demonstration were the most ehiborato ever hold in the state. Promptly at 8 o'clock Oov. McKlnley began his ad dress. He said that the latest national dem ocratic platform was u bolder recogni tion of free trade than any of its pre decessors. He proceeded to analyze tho platform, comparing It with thn draft of tho platform as originally presented to tho national convention. Tho first draft of tho platform, said tho gov ernor, stated many of the republican protective principles as tho foundation of successful government, but as adopted by tho convention it, In effect, declared that democrats of tho nation would take no care of any domestic in dustry; tlint thoy proposed to abandon the policy of raising revenue from cus toms and rely solely upon direct taxa tion for the revenue needs of the gov I eminent: that they will not be regard "- ----,7 ..... .. w. -vnii. fui f lubor employed nnd capital In-I ..npl...l t.. ,... . f ,... . t .i caicu in iiiu Kn-in. uKuisirics or mo country and that all of America's vast ministries must bo sacrificed without quarter to tho demands of tariff reform, Mr. McKlnley then proceeded to at- i tack that portion of tho platform which .,.. tli,. ,,,... !,..... i... ,.,.' ticciarcs tliat protection is unconstitu tional The constitutionality of pro tective tariffs, ho said, had not been at tacked for moro than n hundred years. The second net passed by congress de clared tarllts to be for tho support of the government and for tho encourage ment nnd protection of manufactures. If the protective policy was in violation of any constitution it was not that of tho United States. It was in violation of tho constitution of tho confederate states. "Hut," said the speaker, "hap pily for us, wo do not recognize tliat In strument hnd nre not operating under it" Oov. McKlnley, continuing to defond republican policy, ntlirnicd that protec tion In the last three years had raised tho wages of laborers and cheapened the prlcesof the necessaries of life to tho consumers, refuting statements mado by ex-President Cleveland In his Now York speech of acceptance. Imports, ho declared, also hud decreased, while ex ports had Increased, leaving an enormous balance of trade to our credit In con clusion the speaker said: "Tried by any test, measured by any standard, we lead all tho rest of tho world. Pro tection has vindicated itself. It cannot be helped by eulogy or hurt by defama tion. It has worked out Its own de monstration and presents in sight of tho whole world its matchless tro phies."

Tho com mittee really did not think the manage ment would entertain its request, but Mr. Potter cheerfully ngrecd to take four members through the mill und ho did. Tho committee reported that tho firm had a large number of men working and a few experienced rollers who turned out two or tlno plates a day. Tho great number of men were, however, unskilled and useless. Tito committee found uo cause for discouragement The report was really a surprise to the men who would not accept press statements.
