An intelligent gentleman of this city,
who has recently returned from Boston,
says that several clerks and business men
whom he knew in stores in that city would
not vote at the recent election. under the
mistaken idea that the Mckinley bill. PASS
ed by a Republican Congress, had made
commodities Of all kinds higher in price.
The following fact which the gentleman
states will show the fallacy of that idea.
He bought in Boston at a house where he
usually traded two suits Of clothes Of pre-
ci>cly the same quality which he had pur-
chased before, and these he got for $ 90
less per suit than he ever paid previous to
that time, The foregoing is a valuable
commentary on the real facts.
