WILDCAT MONEY.

Gov. McKinley at Buffalo: If there was nothing else in the platform but the proposition for the acquisition of the silver, that ought to be sufficient to defeat the democratic party. Our experience under that system of money will be remembered by the grand and noble deeds of thousands of the people through the country, and to man who has had any experience with it will want to return to it. It means local money instead of national money. It means that each state in the Union shall have money of its own, issued by state authority and under such regulation and with such security as the several Legislatures may determine. It means that our money shall be confined to state limits, which will interrupt and disarrange the interstate commerce of the country. It will mean that when I cross from Ohio into Pennsylvania I must change my money and stand the discount, and, as I pass into New York, still another exchange of money, and still another dime up; and then all the time uncertain as to whether the dollar which I have is genuine, or whether it is counterfeit. Every man would be required, if he wanted to be safe—and then he wouldn't be safe—to carry what was known as the old 'bank detector.' It is proposed to go back to that.
