I was glad to when 1 years ago among other things In connection with the city the establishment of a tin jilate works, one of the first, if not the first, ever established in tho United Stales, giving employment to 'hundreds of men and of hundreds more in olhcr parts of the country. And the man to whom this country Is indebted as much as any other for the establishment of timt industry is Mr. Croncrayer, of your city (great who served as your spokesman today. (Greai cheers.)

(Great applause and cries of 'You are Your zeal is most -amd, I thank you Cor it. It has pleased me very much to observe that all along the lines of the railways of this country die employes are organizing, and 1 tliiink tiliem for it. (Applause and cries of 'Wo don't, need But I want, to give you one piece of advice, don't use these great organizations to coerce your employers to vole the same- ticket t.hsit you do.

(Tremendous cheers and laughter, lasting for several also warn you against any attempt to coerce the officers of your company into voting the Republican ticket. (Renewed civoers and Isuighltor, and cries of 'Hurra for McKinley') No department of human, industry in the United States has made greater advancement in tho last 30 years than you have presented. In 1875, 150,000, and in 1803, 178,000 miles; but I believe we have not been building many, if any, miles of railroad since then; we have, at any rate, fully one-halt of the. railroads in the Traffic of our railroads is immeasurably greater than that of -any other country. A single example suffice to illustrate this: England Is, our acknowledged greatest commercial her 'foreign trade is the greatest of any country in the world.

The tonnsige entered and cleared in foreign, trade of London during 1S90 was 13,448,707 tons and of Liverpool, 10.941,800 tons, a total for these: two great shipping ports of 24,442,580 tons. The aggregate traffic on our railroads in our domestic trade for 1S90 was 691.344,437 tons or 28 times as great, and in IS91, 704,398,009 tons, or more than 29 times as great For -what, therefore, should we cbiefly the advancement and protection of this domestic traffic or its practical abandonment or neglect at least-in the effort to share England's ocean traffic? Whenever the prosperity of this country Is blighted, the railroads of the country are the first to feel it (Cries of that's right.) "In 1895 the traffic of the Pennsylvania road had reached the enormous volume of 37,129,747 tons, but I observe that while it was enabled to employ 873,000 operatives In 1893, it had but 749,000 at work in 1895. You know better than I can tell you that it was poor business that caused this army of 124.000 men to be no longer employed tlwt it was poor business that caused a reduction rather than an increase of wages. (Cries of "that's The manufactories, tbe mines and the farm were 'not running on mil anpncity' and the railroads, in consequence' were not doing as much profitable business as they ought to have -been doing. Which policy do you like best, the old or the new? (Ijoud cries of "We want the Republican policy.

The latter traveled on the P. B. railroad. A delay of an hour made them late in arriving Cue of their banners excited it bearing tho words: "Open the Mills Instead of the Mints."
