The Mckinley Tariff Law Abroad

ne WCNlT1Iey i Law fADI Odd'
Europeans we're peluded, exactly
as Americans were, by the reiterated
assertions of Democratic journals that
the Mckinley tariff law is practically
prohibitive in its effects upon foreign
commerce with the United States.
Until recently their chief sources of
information were the newspapers /;
but now that copies of the law have
crossed the Atlantic, their eyes are
opened to the gross exaggeratiOn of
the free-trade journals on this side
of the ocean.
The London Financial Times gives
expression to the sentiment of BUSH
ness circles abroad in relation to the
manner in which the law was mis-
represented by our Democratic press.
1t says:
The excessive unpopularity of the
law in England was largely due to
exaggeration on the part Ofthe Amer
lean Democrats. who have spared no
expense or misrepresentation in rails.
ing oppositions to the scheme.
The contempt felt abroad for the
Democratic party on account of dis
honest methods in exciting hostility
to the tariff law will be shared by our
own people when the masses become
better informed as to its provisions
aud the good effects of its operations
are experienced by the country-ln
other words, when Democratic mis-
representation is neutralized by a
general knowledge of the facts.
