OPINIONS OF THE MRINLEY BILL.
Probablyno tariff bin has ever becum-
troduccd that raised a greater racket
than the MCKINLEY bin has. The
racket is principally among Rcpubli-
cans. too. I'm the whole bin there is

industry IN this country which, now,
being free. leads the world. That great
industry is vigorously protesting against
the proposed outrage.
IL will cripple our great canning i'm
dustry. and nearly double the price to
American consumers of tim, who include
every man. woman and child i'm the
United States. And why? Simply

Tin i'm this country. The canning indus
try and the kitchen are vigorously pro-
testing against this proposed outrage.

could furnish the Republican party with
unlimited quantities OF fiat. and duty

And this at the expense Of one of the
greatest industries in America or the

The executive committee OF the
New England shoe and leather
association. recently held a meeting In
Boston. Eight of the ten committee
men are leading Republicans OF the
East like ex-Goy. CLAFIIN, the presi-
