Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1890-11-27

To the Editor OF the Boston Journal
read in to-day's Sunday Herald ard
Sunday Globe the following dispatch from
London: Mai. Mckinley is at present the
most talked Of American in London, and
his defeat has given tremendous amount
Of satisfaction. a. the provisions Of the
Tariff bill are naturally obnoxious to all
Englshmen.
1t has always been said by Democratic
newspapers that Englishmen were pleased
with our tariff a. il enabled them 10 hold
the markets of the world. and that we
were the people who suffered by our tariff
and not them. This also !, what Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain, VI F.. said in hi> in
terview in the Herald last week. and he j.
a well known and despi>ed Engli.hman, as
well a. being the son-in-law OF our well
known Democrat Judge VIM. c. Endicott,
ex Secretary of President Cleveland Cabi-
net. The dispatches from Europe seem 10
directly prove these statements to pc I'M
truths, and that instead Of liking our tariff
and its author. Maj Mckinley, they are
awfullv pleased with their defeat, ! can
not understand this matter. but do know
England l. never pleased with anything
. except that which i for her benefit. II
our tariff laws are obnoxious TO her people
and they are given tremendous amount
OF satisfaction by the defeat Of Major Me
kinlcy a. the dispatch in the Herald and
GIpte Of to-day saws then | know that
both the Mckinley Tariff bill and Mckin-
ley himself are what i best tor the Amcri-
can people 10 keep and cherish, England
is looking out for England all the time,
have been told that the Mex nley bin was
what England liked, because il gave her
the markets OF the world, and have
voted the Democratic ticket because
supposed Englishmen wanted Mckinley
kept in Congress sDd were 10 favor Of his
Tariff bill but fear have been deceived.
and that what England really wants j. not
the market of the world. which she says
she has got. but the market Of the | nited
States, which she has not got. and 4

The party which advocates il. ] do not
quite understand this matter. il seems 10

can i also notice that besides England
the manufacturing countries Of France.
Germany, Austria and Belgium are ticklcd
TO death because MAJ. Mckinley Is defeat
ed. Why is this 50; II it j. good for them
IN proportion TO the way they are pleased,
il leads me TO think that II Is bad for Us
that Mckinley is defeated. | begin 10
think there are two sides 10 this question.
| begin TO think that the Mckinley tariff is
solely to the benefit OF the people of The
United States, and that is why the for
elgner> want il defeated 50 bad. and they
think in the defeat Of Major Mckinley
they see q repeal of his tariff bill and a
low tariff bill by the Democrats passed in
IT. stead. Am right; is this so: If they
hate the Mckinley tariff in England, surely
1t must be good thing for Us TO keep |
think we have been deceived | wish
had voted the Republican ticket and In
favor of the Mckinley Tariff bill. VIII
you please explain this in your paper from
q Republican standpoint for the benefit OF
an American Irishman:
