( Laughter. ) And I Hhall ex pect on fie night of November 3 , accepting thu nsHuraneert of your ! > ote : ina'ii , to henr the IIrut advices of n splendid republican victory from the county of Monroe and the atate of Michigan. I mn glnil to greet and welcome you this morning. I have never believed , as Homo people have been .i > liiK , that there was over any danger about thu Htnto of Michi gan. Them has never been a moment when I have had thn Hllghte.st doubt where the electoral vote of your glorloun statu would KO In the providential contest of 1S9S. No Htnlu In thu union l. more deeply Interested In thn genuine American policy that will protect your property , your interests , your labor , your mines and the products of your forests from undue competition than the utalo of Michigan ( applause ) ami there Is no state that Is moru deeply Interested In having a pioteetlve polley than the Htate of Michigan. ( Applause. ) Then * Is ono thing that the republican parly Is dedicated to , and that Is labor llrst , and HMMI to law and nrder. These are Indispensable to the welfare of man- liind and Indispensable to the prosperity anil permanency of thu republic. 1 am glad to Know from your spokesman that you be lieve not only In u protective tariff , but that you buliuvo In honest money. ( Grunt cheering. ) When you do your work , whether It be on the farm or In the factory , or In thu mine , you want to receive In pay ment dollars that are good every day and every week and every mont'.i and every where , In every part of the civilized world. That Is the kind of money wo Imvo now ami wo have more of It than wo over had In our history before. To enter upon tin ) frco and unlimited folnago of silver would lie to remit this country to silver alone and ilcprlvo us of tli gold we have. Instead of Increasing the circulation It would decrease the circulation of the country , and Instead of giving us good , round , ICO-cent dollars , which we < havu now , they would tisk im toile ilo our business with a K-cent dollar anil bring ourselves to the llnnncial piano of Mexico and China , We decline to do It.

Major McKlnley said : There Is a .studied effort made In Bom tlimrtors of this country to loach thnl em ployers of labor nro attempting to enslave I'm worklinjmon. I submit to you , men of toll mill nil around and about me , who Is the bettor friend of labor he who gives yon work thai brings contentment , or ho who bronthcs only words that create dis content ? Tluro cannot be , there ought never to be , ntiy enmity between labor and capital. The Interest of one Is the Interest of the other. You know that the greatesl friend lo slavery Is Idleness. They tnlk about making the worklngmon slaves. There Is no danger of a worklngnian over becoming n uluve If ho receives American wages , the wngcs that he had for thirty years , from ISii'J to ISM under the glorious policy of n protective tariff. The best friend to labor , the best policy In the In terest of labor Is thai policy which gives work lo men , work at good wngcs. CHA7.K CO\U3IVHI ! > IX INIQUITY. Carl SolnirIVIIx ( SerniuiiM In Iinlliiti- apollH of Kree Silver livlln. INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 17. lion. Carl Schurz addressed a crowd In Gorman be fore a small audience In the hall under the auspices of tlio German .Sound Money League. He said : My friends. Ibis whole free coinage move ment Is n mad craze. It was conceived In Iniquity and broughl Into life In a revoiu tlonary outburst at the demofrailu-popu- llstlc convention nt Chicago. The whole monstrous and unnatural effort , If It con fers ono benefit from it * ro-Ul/.iUoii. will only confer that benefit upon a : < rt.iln class of debtors who arc only too uliul to pay their honest debts at CO cents on the dollar. 11 Is merely Inieii.led to open u way for the thriftless unit < II.-ilion.Ht bank rupt by which he may bo .iblo to enforce the satl.tfactlon of an honest coiiir-irt for U'.sii than Is actually due under thai con Iraet. II was never Intend. ! for the up building of the honor of the : i.Ul3'i nr tin- general and everlnsllng good of the mna. e of the people , but If It should connto puss , as a result of the appru.ichlni ; eVetlon , It will bring down upon this rcpMbll" the black stigma of repudiation and destroy our national credit among the governments of the world. Should such a national mis fortune come upon us as the election of Ilryan , you would fee the holders of bonds rushing In upon Die national treasury for Ihe redemption of securities. The supply of gold would rapidly become exhausted , and .in a nation vo would bo nt onci launc-hcd upon the unknown Kea of free coinage In u rudderless ship and go drift- IIIR steadily on thu breakers of broken credit , lluforo the history of iho world wars Imvo rome and government iinvo .been 'Changed ' In a day. bill never bcfon this tltnn In the history of the union has * there bppn attempted a prhemo for tin maintenance of our credit by a depreciated ciiironcy. I say to you , my friends , that If this free coinage craze should have an absolute real- Izatlon In the election of Ilryan , untold thousands of business houses would close their donni and untold thousands of laborIng - Ing men would lie tramping Iho highways of our roads , trying for the poor , pitiful boon of earning' their living In the sweat of hone.'t loll. Whal astonishes Is that there can bo found nn honest. Intelligent man In all those states who has the temerity to tell Die worklngmen that the free coinage of silver will bencllt him. Mr. Schurz devoted a considerable portion of his time to describing Iho economic con dltions which he said have prevailed for many years In Mexico , and urged his audi ence to believe that there Is not a nation on earth where the frco coinage of silver has prevailed where Ihe wages of labor have nol gene down Iho scale lo the starvation point. MAHIC IIAXXA SlMJfJH.STS A KI.AO DAY. Hound .Money .Men Ururoil to Dlxpln ? tlieiitlimiil Color * . CHICAGO , Oct. 17. Chairman Hanna of the republican national committee has sug gested a "flag day" In the campaign. Ho believes In the cfilcacy of the display of the stars and stripes and today promulgated the following as a "suggestion to'good citizens : " The American ling has been In the pres ent campaign the emblem or Insignia of national honor. Its Influence has been for great good In the cause of the people. Its display In many places has been potent In the advancement of the counlry's bailie for the maintenance of Its honor nt homo and abroad. I therefore suggest thnl on Saturday , Oc tober 31 , nil who Intend to votu on No vember o for the preservation of our na tional honor , for Hound money and the advancement of our people's Interests and general prosperity , display tlio national colors nt their homes , their places of busi ness and wherever they may bo seen , In order thai voters whoso hearts are for their country may bo strengthened In their pnipo.ip and Ihoso who are undetermined may thu more patriotically mid Intelll- gpnlly conclude how best to perform their duties as citizens. M. A. HANNA. It Is further suggested at the headquarters of tlio national republican committee thai state , county and city committees and clubs encourage the display of the national flag on the last Saturday In the campaign In every part of the country , especially on residences , and have Hags and bunting on sale at convenient places for farmers ant others who llvo In localities rcmoto from popular trade points and that the display of Hags and bunting bo continued until after the national election , * flow Old are You ? You need not answer the question , madam , for in your caoo ago ia n < st couiatod by yours. It will always bo true that "awoman is as old as she looks. " Nothing sots the soul of ago BO deeply upon woman's beauty as gray hair. It is natural , therefore , that every \voman is anxious to preserve her hair in all its original abundance and beauty ; or , that being denied the crowning oift of beautiful hair , she longs to possess it. Nothing is earner than to attain to this gift or to preserve it , if already possessed. Ayor's Hair Vigor restores grayer or faded hair to its original color. It does this by simply aiding nature , by supplying the nutrition necessary to health and growth. There is no bettor preparation for the hair than AVER'S HAIR VIGOR.

The letter says that Mr. Ilryan's trip will wind tip with a night meet ing at Omaha , and adds : "Nebraska Is In a fair political condition with chancf.s that Its electoral vote will be cast for sound money. This tour on the 2nd of November will probably have some considerable effect In Hryan's favor , and we wish to do what we can to check It. Irish's presence In the state on that day following the same route as Bryan , bppaktng at the ramo places , would do a vast deal of good. I urge strongly upon the great Importance of this matter , and hope to hear from you affirmatively at once. " Two telegrams were also received from Mr. Martin. The plans that have been made fet Colonel Irish , however , can hardly be altered , ami some other speaker will have to be secured. In view of the anxiety of the Nebraska gold standard leaders , although It Is their belief that the state can be waved , It Is practically settled that General Palmer and General Iluckner will go to Omaha , and possibly to Lincoln , liryan'H home.
