"These prii.clples have l.een of late in Bbevance only because those whom we trusted lo maintain them have fallfd to ao so; these principles can never die.

Our 'nissioii Is lo now rescue from this lame power and its foreign alliances our own bi loi eel country.

This is the first and highest duty imposed by our party's lat-form, upon the performance of Ibis duty all other reforms must wait. The test of pari principle- Is the government they assure; the proof of good government Is a contented and happy people, and the supreme test of l-oih the ability to guide the country through a crisis as well ils to administer the government in otdinary times. "Our people now face a crisis. A crisis more serious than any since the war.

Some of the men in the delegation bore banners inscribed "Plutocrats from Clarion County." The delegation was made up ot miners, farmers, and work-ingiuen. Major McKinley addressed it as follows: "There is one tiling which I think we are sometimes too apt to forget we are. too apt to forget what is behind us and too apt to be heedless of our own experience. We can hardly realize that from 1873 to 11503 we reduced the public debt from In 16C0, to 5570,000,000. We paid off during those twenty ears $1 of tl.e public debt.

And we were under a protective and sound money system when we were making the large payments. Two-thirds of that great debt has disappeared, and while we were paying it off we were building in this country the most splendid industrial enterprises, giving constant and steady employment to American labor at fair wages, and giving to the farmers of the country a Just reward for their toll and labor. 'During that period, for the greater of the time, we were selling more 'goods abroad than we were buying abroad. And the balance of trade was therefore in our ravor, and that balance of trade, bet-tied as it was in gcods. gave us the good yellow money from the other side of the icenn.

Now, my fellow-citizens, tour years, agothepeopleof this country determined to change that pcJIcy and they did change change it. What has been the result? We have since that time created a national debt, principal and Interest, of about We have had for the greater part of that time a deficiency in the Treasury, the government not collecting sufficient labor has been ill employed, as It was in that period."

"Me represent ICO Tirras engaged In the lumber business, and our delegation is corupo scd almost equal nnmbers of Democrats and Republicans," said the spokesman, M. Barnes, to Major McKinley, "and what is more, wo handled a thousand million feet of lumber annually prior to the enactmentor the present revenue laws, worth $30,000,000." Major McKlnley was vigorously and re peatedly cheered when he rose to speak.

Paris, Oct. The czar has come and Paris has gone wild in welcoming him.

It Is believed that never before has such a multitude of strangers been in the ilty. It was estimated last night that oier a million nsiturs were here, and all through the night every arriving train from north, south, east and west brought In Its quota of strangers to swell the crowd. Even today the trains havo teen packed with late comers. It Is Impossible to even approximately estimate the number of visitors, but it would not be at all surprising if their number was nearer two mllllan than one million. The weather was sunny and everything was propitious for the great popular welcome that had been prepared for the White czar, wun is undoubtedly today the idol of the French iieople.

ENTERING THE CITY. The Western Railway Company, over whose line the czar traveled from Cherbourg, rrom which place he started last evening, had erected a special station for the use ot his majesty at I'assy Rana-lagh. Here an Immense crowd was gathered at an early hour, many of those present haling remained In the vicinity thronghoul ihe night in order that they would be sure to get a glimpse of the czar and czarina ns the Imperial visiters entered the city. The entire route from the station to the Russian emliassy, at No. 70 Rue de Grecm-lle street, Germain, was packed with people before 3 o'clock.

The route was across the Pols de Eou-Icgne, through the Avenue de Pols Boulogne, Place de L'Eloile, in which stands the Arcde Trlmnplie; thence down the Avenue des Champ Elysees, to and across the Place de la Corcorde, therce across the PoutdcIaConcorde and down the Boulevard St. Germain to Rue Rt. Simon, which leads directly to the entrance of the Russian embassy. The entire route was decorated with magnifisent and tasteful arches and pillars anil the French and Russian Colors'. A novelty In decoration was seen on the tre-es along the route.

These were covered with paper flowers of all kinds and were very handsome, the contrafting colors adding materially to the beauty of the scene. The palace of Industry on the Avenue des ChaiMpElyseesand the Chamberor Deputies, ministry or foreign affairs, ministry of war and ministry of ptillic works, all of which are close to or immediately upon the Boulevard St. Germain, were especially noticeable forthe beautyand artistic arrangement of their decorations. GUARDED BY TROOPS. The whole garrison of Paris was turneclj out In honor or tne Imperial visitor and lor the more practical puriiose or guardim; the route a long which he passed.

The soldiers lined the entire route, and back of them stood lioliccmen facing the crowd in order that they might be able to detect and arrest any one who should attempt to Insult the czar by uttering seditious cries. The polite arrangements were perrett; In fact, the regulations adopted for the occasion were so strict that they occasioned adverse comment, but the authorities believe that they are fully justified in taking extiaordinary precautions to safeguard the Imperial visitor. At half past o'clock the sun was shining brightly, and the crowds were constantly augmenting. Some of the sightseers were quite boisterous In their light-hearteducs-s, but there were no signs of disorder. Occasionally there would be a scuffle in the cruwd us a policeman or detective would discover a pickpocket plying his trade and promptly arrest him or her.

Every window and balcony along the route was occupied, the occupants of the houses, in many instances, having Ik'cu paid very large sums or money for the privilege. President Faurc, the ministers, and other dignitaries, who had traveled rrom Cherbourg on a special train ahead of the czar, arrived at Vcrsatlle's at 8:20 The train bearing the Imperial guests rolled Into the station tiienty-tlirce "minutes later.
