American people hold the finan-1
cial honor of our government as
sacred as our flag and can be
relied upon to guard it with the
same vigilance. They hold its
preservation above party fealty,
In accepting the republican
nomination for president, at
Canton, July 12, Mr McKinley
said:
"Senator Lodge, and Gentle-
men of the Notification Commit-
tee: The message which you

"Anyone who has borne the
anxieties and burdens of the
presidential office, especially in
time of national trial, can not
contemplate assuming it a second
time without profoundly realiz-
ing the severe exactions and
solemn obligations which it im-
poses, and this feeling is accent-
uated.by the momentous prob-
lems which now press for settle-
ment. If my countrymen shall
confirm the action of the conven-
tion at our national election in
the land is directly and intimate-
ly connected with their proper
settlement. Our domestic trade
must be won back and our idle
working people employed in
gainful occupations at American
wages. Our home market must
be restored to its proud rank of
first in the world, and our foreign
trade so precipitately cutoff by
adverse national legislation, re-
opened in fair and equitable
terms for our surplus agricul-
tural and manufacturing pro-
ducts. Public confidence mustj
be resumed, and the skill, energy
and the capital of our country
. tion of the government kept t heii
pledges? The record is made
; up. The people are not un-
familiar with what has' been
, accomplished. The gold stan-
dard has been reaffirmed and
strengthened. The endless
chain has been broken and the
drain upon our gold reserve no
longer frets us. The credit of
the country has been advanced
to the highest place among all
nations. We are refunding our
bonded debt bearing 3 and 4 and
5 per cent interest at SJ per cent,
a lower rate than that of any
other country, and already more
than $300,000,0t'0, have been so
funded, with a gain to the gov-
ernment of many millions of
dollars. Instead of 16 to 1, for
which our opponents contended
four years ago, legislation has
been enacted which, while utiliz- j
ing all forms of our money, se-i
cures one fixed value for every |
dollar, and that the best known
to the civilized world.
"A tariff which protects Amer-
ican-labor and industry and "pro- j
vides ample revenue has been I
written in public law. We have
lower interest and higher wages; |
more money and fewer mort- [
gages. The world s markets
have been opened to American
products, which go now where!
have never gone before.
We have passed from a bond |
issuing to a bond-paying nation;
irom a nation of borrowers to a
nation of lenders; from a detic-1
iency in the revenue to .a sur- i
plus': from fear to confidence:
from enforced idleness to profit-
able employment. The public;
faith has been held; public order'
has been maintained. We have
prosperity at home and prestige1
abroad. Unfortunately, the i
enacted at the extra session in
1897, known as the Dingley act,
passed in obedience to the will of
the people expressed at the
election in the preceding Novem-
, ber, a law which at once stimu-
lated our industries, opened the
idle factories and mines, and
gave to the laborers and to the
farmer fair returns for their toil
'and investment. Shall we go
back to a tariff which brings
deficiency in our revenues and
destruction to our industrial
j enterprises?
i ''Faithful to its pledges in
these internal affairs, how has
the government discharged its
international duties? Our plat-
form of 189(5 declared: 'The
Hawaiian Islands should be con-
trolled by the United States, and
no foreign power should bo
permitted to interfere with
them.'
"This purpose has been fully
accomplished by annexation, and
delegates from these beautiful
islands participated in the con-
vention for which you speak
to-day.
"in the great conference of
nations at The Hague, we re-
affirmed before the world the
Monroe Doctrine and our ad-
herence to it, and our determina-
tion not to participate in the
complications of Europe. We
have happily ended the European
alliance in Samoa, securing to
ourselves one of the most valu-
able harbors in the 1 'aci tic Ocean,
while the open door in China
gives to us fair and equal com-
petition in the vast trade of the
Orient.

THE GOLD STANDARD.
"Three and one half years of

have been concluded since these
words were spoken. Have those

sustain, and, if need be,
strengthen the present law and
prevent a financial catastrophe:
which every lover of the republic
is interested to avert.

are ours, and American authority
must be supreme throughout t he
archipelago. There will be
amnesty broad and liberal, but
no abatement of our rights, no
abandonment of our duty. There
must be no scuttle-policy. We
will fulfill in the Philippines the

j triumphs of our army and by

national law; by the nation's
sense of honor; and more than
all, by the rights, interests and
