They Dnn,t Like II. Eli?

The Mckinley bill has been very success.
full in one respect--it has put everybody in.
to brown.study.
If large majority of ''every body don't
like the bill, why, how could it be other
wise with sensible people?
The elect few whose private axes will be
ground to razor edge by the bill are pray
ing with the energy of windmill in a gale
that it may become a law. Of course; it
will be money in their pockets. A big
bank account-a few surplus millions-is a
consummation devoutly to be wished, and
if these elect few can manipulate the policy
of the federal government to suit their pri-
vate ends it will be a very shrewd thing to
do.
The importers are raising great pother
Ger our heads, holding meetings and ham
mering Mr.. Mckinley with resolutions.
They declare that their business will be''up
in the arr and their hard earnings take
flight to the regions where the woodbine
twineth.
The laboring men of the country are also
strangely agitated. qhey want shorter
hours ad higher wages, but they are ask
ing. What good will higher wages do us
if we have to pay Mckinley prices for every
thing we need?
AIuc onouSh. IL wages are IorceO up
ten per cent, and then bill is passed at
Washington which makes the cost of living
fifteen or twenty per cent higher, the pros
pect is not fascinating or alluriug.
Well, to the republicans who are shrug-
ging their shoulders we can only give cold
comfort. They voted for this dose and now
they don't like to swallow 1t. They work.
ed and bled for the success of the party
which represents this policy. In other
words, they helped to tie the lash to the
whip handle and ought not to complain if
their shoulders are sore with blows.
AS to the democrats, ths only thing to do
is to 'tget together" and stick together, and
when the right time comes send men to
Congress and man to the White House
who will put an end to this humbug aud
give both business aud labor an honest

The Republican Tariff Bill.

In speaking of the Republican tariff bill
reported by Mckinley, and which is now
being discussed in Congress, the Baltimore
Sun says: -
SIT increases taxes on many articles used
by the masses to the prohibition point
Foreign competition being excluded, this
means higher prices, more trusts, more
wealth for the rich taken by force of law
from the pockets of the poor. Clothing,
underwear, blankets, carpets, metals, glass
ware, eartheuware, tin-plate, coffee pots,
tin roofs, fruit cans and thousand other
articles covered by the bill will be higher.
For the first time in our history we have a
tariff bill deliberately framed to reduce
revenue by increasing taxation. If foreign
goods are imported hereafter they are to be
made to cost so much that the poor cannot
afford to buy them. The false prediction
that domestic wares will be cheaper than
the foreign when the latter are excluded
deceives no one. They should be cheaper
now. but they are not. Manufacturers do
not cry out for higher tariffs because they
want to sell cheaper. They want to sell
dearer, and will do it after this iniquitous
bill becomes law. Some Of them will be
greatly enriched by it. For time it will
put big money in their pockets. But the
effect of the bill upon our industries will in
the long run, we believe, be DISASTROUS
Higher prices will check consumption,
which will check production and cause
idleness, loss and distress. Our imports
being lessened, branch of trade that en-
poys ships, railroads and a multitude of
merchants, middlemen, &C., will be seri-
ously impaired. Hard times is the promise
the bill makes for the masses of our people.
One great merit, however, it undoubtedly
hast is constructed in the best possible
manner to teach the people what "protec-
ton" is and to disgust them. Five years of
its operation will produce countless army
of fierce and uncompromising free-traders."
