The fruits of the Mckinley bill are
becoming more and more apparent
every day. Dry goods merchants are
rushing up the prices of their fabrics,
druggists are advancing their medica-
ments, and clothing men are increasing
the price of their garments. Ali of it
falls upon the shoulders of the Door
man, who must pay more for everything
he buys.
Do wages increase?
Has anybody in st. Paul heard of
wages or pay of any kind advancing?
The following correspondence is in
the same line, and shows beyond ques-
ton how the votes of Congressman
Snider and his fellows have increased
the burden laid upon the Northwest:
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. Sc. r. Maloney,
Belle PLANE Minn.-Dear Sir: We received
an order to-day from Messrs. Moves Bros. &
Cutler for one dozen Acorn syringes similar
to what you had last spring Owing to the
advance in rubber we are unable to sell them

Dozen subject to usual terms. Should you

To the Editor of the Globe.
BELLE PLANE, MIMI Oct 81 desire to
bring under your notice, and through you 10
that of the public, at least one of the villain
les of the Mckinley tariff bill. Enclosed you
will find letter this morning received from
the st. Paul Rubber company. wherein they
tell me they are unable to sell me rubber syr-
1nges at the old price; that is, at the price
they sold them TO me on the Goth day of last
March, which was at $3.50 per dozen, and
now, because of that robber Mckinley bill.
they demand $3.50 per dozen. Now, sir, I
ask you, do you think the men engaged in
this kind of business get corresponding in
crease IN their wages? / would venture to
say that they do not; rather, that those man.
ufacturers are contemplating a reduction of
their wages at the very time that they are
being so largely benefited by this Mckinley
monstroslty. L tell you, sir, that the con-
sumers of this country are being robbed by
this ubiquitous legislation. To me or to the
St Paul Rubber company 1t makes not much
difference, in one sense of the word but to
those who have to purchase this class of
goods 1t makes mighty big difference; for
they have to pay for the increased value in
price, which increase benefits only and alone
the manufacturer. 1t is the same with
all other goods which are now be-
coming sotn more costly every day. The
the consumers are taxed for their special
benefit. do declare the prejudice of some
farmers is simply appalling, for it seems

this Mckinley diabolical invention.
You may publish this letter in addition to
that of the rubber company. and hope it
will help to enlighten the benighted regard.

on your valuable space, but owing to my
