McKinley hears farmers and potters on tariff issue in Canton
In Canton Ohio on August 25 a thousand East Liverpool potters visited Major McKinley, led by W. L. Smith, J. N. Taylor, and W. B. Blake, to press for protective tariffs and sound money. Seven carloads of Knox county farmers arrived by train, presenting hay and cheering as McKinley spoke on hardships from global competition, urging a home market under protection and opposing free trade and free silver, citing Fillmore Jackson and Buchanan. He argued the factory and not the mint drove farmer prosperity and stressed the need for an honest dollar.
