All over the country the effect of such
legislation has already been
TO INCREASE THE PRICES
of dry goods and other household neces-
stiles. The Mckinley bill has defined
sharply the Issue upon which the two
parties are divided. In its enactment
the Republican party has demonstrated
more clearly than ever that the sympa-
thies of its leaders are not with the great
mass of the people, but with certain
favored classes. feel morti-

implies and ut such n narrow policy is
that to which we hive been committed

with all parious. The time has come
when the demands of manufacturers ana
producers are for wider markets,

own continent, but as wide Us the world.
Are we afraid TO compete with other
world? Shall We be satisfied
with such q policy that will
brighten foreign nations to retaliate
against our products? Our foreign trade

to see the American ships carrying

want to see the wealth OF Europe and

G few American industries and the en-
richment of q favored few individ-

prosperity and wealth. One party,
end unfortunately the party in power,
says that the home market il good
enough. 1t builds a Chinese wall of
duties along our borders, and from the
turrets shouts TO foreign producers.
your products shan't come in
here, no matter whether We
produce similar ones or not.
We want nothing TO do with you. This
other party holds that the home market
is already over supplied. 1t sees that
high protective duties have pro iucsi an
unhealthy competition, resulting in
over production, the closing of
our mills aud reduction In wages. 1t
finds the great industries languishiny
because of highly taxed raw materials
and limited markets. 1t suggests the
removal of all unnecessary barriers to
commercial interest.
In conclusion ne spoke of the contest in
this, the Sixteenth | congressional dis
trict. urging every democrat TO vote for
John e. Warwick, the Democratic can
