TIE COST OF LYING.

There is not the slightest use in trying to pin
down by facts the Free Traders who are assert
in r that prices of everything have advanced be-
cause of the new tariff The men who say this
know that it is not true, but they have made up
their minds to lie this campaign through on that
line, and pay no moro regard to facts than to
the ninth commandment.
Any voter who chooses can settle the question
for himself by making inquiries at few of the
stores where he deals. He will find that not
one article in twenty out Of the whole number
which 90 to make up the cost OF living has been
altered in price at all since October 6, when the
new tariff went into effect. But he will find,
further, that nearly all of the comparatively few
advances made are simply impositions of deal
ers who fancy that public ignorance will enable
them to extort higher profits without disrepute.
II he wants to protect himself, any reader can
purchase TRIBUNE Extra, compare the new
with the old duties on any articles of which he
asks the price, and see whether the occasional
advance OF one cent to the pound or per cent
on the value justifes' the extortion Of 25 per
cent more in the selling prioe by portion Of
the dealers
When he finds evidence Of such shabby extor.
ton, he will not fail to remember also that the
dealers are selling articles imported before the
new tariff went into effect, on which they have

Those who challenge the correctness OF the

TIE SPEECH OF SENATOR ALDRICH

Senator Aldrichs admirable speech in closing
the debate in the Senate on the new Tariff
bill has been frequently mentioned, and its
arguments attracted unusual attention at the
time because of its remarkable effectiveness.
No other speech for many years has been more
finely adapted to meet and overcome the pre-
else phases of objection to protective meas
urc which were liable to produce most I'M
preston on the pubic mind, and very few
speeches indeed during the last ten years have
set forth more oonvincingy the facts by which
proposed legislation was justified. 1t is there
fore, peculiarly timely speech for circulation
and use before the approaching elections. and
it is much to be regretted that delays in re-
vision and printing prevented its publication
in full until last Tuesday. All the essential
parts of this strong argument are given in
THE TRIBUNE this morning, and there are
very few Republican voters so well informed
that they cannot gain from it much new and
valuable information.
No one can rise from its perusal without q
high appreciation of the wisdom OF this meas
ure, and the ability of the leaders by whom it
has been matured. In no spirit of favoritsm
it is commonly called the Mckinley bill, ON
account of the peculiar ability and tact dis.
played in reconcilinR differences and overoom-
ing obstacles in the House by the chairman OF
the Committee of Ways and Means. But other
able men had part in the work in that body,
and in the Senate Messrs. Aldrich, Hiscock and
Allison had given an enormous amount OF time
and study to the preparation of the Senate bill
which was passed in 1880. and which formed
the basis of the measure framed in the House
After other months spent this year in meeting
new forms of objection and new phases OF difa.
Guilty Senator AIdrich closed the debate with
profound satisfaction that tremendous labor
was ended, and with the just feeling OF pride
in results attained which he shows clearly in
his speech.
The point which should be especially OBJ

THE BUFFALO DISTRICT.

On another page is printed letter descrlplng
the nolitical situation in the Buffalo Congress
sional District. This is one of the largest, and
by reason of its great, varied and fast growing
interests. one of the most important districts III
our State. The Republican nominee, Mr.. III
Jams, is leading citizen of Buffalo, VINO couid
be counted upon to represent her at ashing-
ton az she deserves to be represented. A man
of high character, large ability and proved apt
tude for lawmaking, he has right to look Tor
the hearty support OF every member OF MS
party residing in the district. His opponent
Mr.. Lockwood, was defeated when he ran Tor
Congress six years ago-a good omen for Mr.
Williams. The district is toleraby close one
but experience has demonstrated that the ener-
petic and resourceful Republicans OF Buffalo
can carry it whenever they all work hard and all
work together. They may we'll be nerved to do
their very best this time, for they cannot fali TO
realize that If the Republicans are to have ma
iority in the Lid Congress no district must be
lest which the party now controls.
That the Democratic leaders have their eyes
on the Bufral3 district we are well aware. They
keep Dragging that they are going to capture
that and its ncighbor, the Erie Niagara dis
u,
litical circles that their reliance for success in
both is not chiefly upon their own strength
Their idea seems to be that the candidates for
the Republican Congressional nominations who
failed to carry the conventions are sore and
have around them a large number OF sore
friends and that although Democratic votes are
not plenty enough by themselves to elect
Democratic Congressman, yet Democratic votes
plus Republican sorehead influence is bound to
prove winning combination. WE'LL we be-
lieve that these Democrats are reckoning with
out their hosts. We should have an uncom-
monty uncomplmentary opinion of the Repub-
licanism of either Erie or Niagara if we thought
that il nourished any considerable number of
soreheads of the kind mentioned at this junct-
ure The duty of the hour is unmstakable-it
is the duty of carrying the next Congress for
the Republican party, the party of progress re-
form and equal rights for all. Everything else
private grievances, local misunderstanding. the
" claims" of counties, ought to be lost sight of
until the campaign is over.
Our brethren of the rest of the country eI-
pect and are justified in expecting that New
York, being the pivotal State, will give an
account of herself in November worthy of her
importance But she will not do so unless she
sends as many Republicans to the next Con-
sress as represent her in the present one Hence
it behooves the Republicans of New-Yorb to
carry at least nineteen of the thirty four dis
tricts. Here is list of the districts which we
now hold and of the candidates who must be
olectpd IL we are tn retain them

=. Mn. ma cent more than they formerly asked

t.os n their customers, who can probably find
o,Ss, traders not quite 90 devoid Of scruples. ID
nav he uartcularly noticed that the dealers who
ost most enraged because attention is called to
Tn species of imposition, are apt to be those
Who are fleeing their customers most unreason-
abIv. and who have raised prices on many ar
tioles on which duties are not changed at all.
The great majority OF articles which enter into
the cost OF living have not advanced In price at
all during the last month. Thus every one can
b,y at retail nearly all articles OF food, -four,
hreadstuffs, vegetables and meats, at a. low
nrices a. be paid month ago. So he can buy
nine-tenths of the various qualities and grades
of cotton and woollen goods at as low price,
including all the qualities more commonly used
by the millions in this country, and all boots
and shoes and other leather goods, which the
tariff does not affect in the least He can buy
all implements and tools as cheaply, for the
same reason, unless he insists upon getting some
forms of imported instead of domestic cutlery.
II he insists upon buying the more expensive
foreign woollens and fine cottons, or plushee, or
yelyets or kid gloves, he is liable to meet some
dealers who will charge him more money for
goods which they imported before the duties
were paid. But the articles which the millions
actually require and purchase are not advanced
in price, even by the less scrupulous dealers.
There is not yet time to ascertain In most
cases, how much foreign manufacturers will re-
duce their prices to American buyers, in order
to retain trade. Every shrewd merchant an
tic oates that such reductions will be made on a
large proportion Of the articles on which duties
have been advanced. In few months this eff
feet of the new duties can be measured, and
then, it is safe to predict, it will be found that
the foreign producers and dealers have sur
rendered enough of their previous profits, on
many articles, to enable them to retain at
least part of their American custom. Until
prices have been thus rcadjusted, the more
reputable and the shrewder merchants on this
side are n, t in haste to make advances in prices
of goods on which only the old duties were
paid, lest they should thus lose both repute and
custom.

Clerk receive salaries instead of raking the
fess into their pockets. all eaten UP in running
