The High Prices Scare.

1t was especially in the matter
of clothing that the free traders
told us, before the election, that the
country was going To suffer III con-
sequence of the Mckinley bill. No
paper had more to say on this point
than the New York World, but now
ii allows a m ore cheerful opinion in
its news olumns. In its issue of
the 18th inst, it says, with reference
to the clio thing trade:
There is no good reason why the purchaser
of ready-made clothing should shudder on ac-
count of the new tariff bill. Although the
duties are raised from 40 cents TO 49,, cents per
pound and from IS to 60 per cent. ad valorem,
it will not, according to the CIotAier and Fur
aisher, have any appreciate effect on the price
of clothing, as no ready-made clothing is i'm
ported. The increased rate on wooens and the
various trimmings that enter into the manu-
facture will eventually have the effect of in
creasing the price from 10 to Is per cent, on
garments made of imported materials; but
this will hardly ensue before another year
passes, as stocks are already purchased several
months in advance, Ii is probable that by that
time other causes triI haUe operated TO oouatsract
this increase; so that in this particular branch
no noticeable advance will take place, unless
clothing is affected by the general rise in prices
Besides, domestic manufacturers are largely
supply ing the wooleus now used in this country.
The Boston Commercial Bulletin
of the 22d says:

corresponding period from March 4 /,
1885, to Oct. ], 1885, the aggregate
decrease in circulation was s2l $780,.
493, and the average monthly de-
crease was 81, l5O,500 making total
difference in favor of the last nine
teen months of over $6,000,000 per
month. For the period of three
months, from July l to Oct. l, 1890,
the aggregate increase in actual use
among the people was $68,354,339,
making an average monthly Increase
of 22,7S4,77S. 1t is stated that this
large increase since March 4, 1899,
is mainly due to the present policy
of keeping the surplus as low AZ
possible by the purchase and redemp-
ton of bonds, thereby saving in
terest and restoring the money to
circulation, while the large decrease
in circulation for the corresponding
period from March 4, 1885, to Oct.
/, 1885, was due to the opposite
pOlicy.

Don't Need the Soldiers Now.

Manitoaooc Pilot (Dem.): The
cold soldier" is no longer an issue
in politics. The sweeping MAORI
ties of the late elections make un-
necessary any efforts to capture the
soldier vote. 1t was not gratitude
to the soldier which induced legis-
lation in his behalf; it was the vote
he had to cast which made him an
object of tender solicitude. But
there is now a more lusty sutton in
the field and the old soldier will be
forgotten. No more eulogiums will
be pronounced on his valor; his
patriotism will go unrewarded ex-
cept to the extent already made GER
tain by past Legislation. He is no
longer "a political factor. 1t seems
strange that this revolution could

Surprise in Europe.

The text of the new tariff law
having reached Europe, it is found
with some surprise not be the sweep
Ing measure described in the Dem
cratic press. The London Fnan-
cial Times says that "the excessive
uupopularity" of the measure abroad
"was largely due to exaggeration on
the part of the American Democrats,
who have spared no expense or mis-
representation in raising opposition
to the scheme"
This statement is equally true of
the opposition to the measure here
at home outside of that class of
partisans who have always been OPP
posed, without discrimination, to
any measure adopted by the Repub-
licans, whether it was to resist armed
rebellion, to maintain the country's
financial honor, or to protect Amer
lean industries.
How many people have read the
Mckinley bill, or can give any clear
idea of its general effect upon
prices? 1t increases the duties on
some articles, 1t reduces them on
many others, and it adds many arti
cles, heretofore dutiable, to the free
list. The free trade papers, in the
interest of the Democratic party
have represented it as increasing
the tariff generally. They select
some article like tin or pearl buttons
on which the duty has been in
creased, and dilate upon it as if tn,
whole community was in danger OF
financial ruin in consequence. They
ignore the fact that tin and pear
buttons are likely to be made hers
and sold as cheap as the articles We
get from abroad. They are silent
upon the articles placed on the free
list, and those on which duties are
reduced. They have so much t,
say of the enormity of IA duty thai
may add | cent to the price of s
dinner pail after next July that they
have no space to mention the fac
that the duty on sugar will be re
duced q cents a pound after mex
April. Yet every family buys many
pounds of sugar where it buys on,
dinner pail.
The new tariff law is n measure
that can only be properly judged a
a whole, while the criticism of it
partisan opponents is confined to
few items of the law, ignoring al
the remainder lacd,tkee Sentinel

IT a Tax,

If the Democratic theory that the
"tariff is a tax" is correct, why is
not the price of goods upon which
duties are levied increased in value
to the full extent of the tariff?
If the tariff is u tax, why is it
that plate glass, with duty of about
5 9 ;s-s 75-rre:, CHI be bought Tor near
ly one-third less now than in 1880?
If the tariff is tax, why is it
that salt is selling at Is cents bar,
rel at the works, with duty of "a
cents per hundred, when in 1860 it
cost 81 per barrel and no duty?
If the tariff is a tax, why are
steel rails selling at from $3.50 to
$32 per ton, with tariff duty of
SIT per ton, when they cost from
$40 to $3.50 per ton before the duty
was levied?
If the tariff is tax, why is it
that more pottery can be bought
now for $3.50 with duty of So per
cent. than could formerly be bought
with 81?
If the tariff is a tax, why is it
that nails and pig iron are nearly
one half cheaper now than before q
tariff was levied upon them?
If the tariff is a tax, why is it
that saws, which were not made in
this country before duty was i'm
posed, are now cheaper than they
are in Europe? A million dollars
worth are exported to Europe an
nually.
If the tariff is tax, why has
spool cotton thread been reduced in
price from So cents a dozen before
the duty was added to 55 cents I'M
der a duty of 10 cents?
If the tariff is a tax, why are
cotton prints of American manufac-
ture selling at 5 cents yard, when
the tariff on those of English is
cents? If the tariff is tax, should
not ten cents yard be charged for
American calicoes, instead of 5?
Prior to the war, in the good old
Democratic days-and in the period
Of low tariff or no tariff-this same
calico retalled at 10 and II cents

The Presidents Message.

The message of President Harrl-
son to Congress, which is printed
elsewhere in this issue, IL couched
in simple language and touches with
more or less completeness upon
every current issue of interest to
the National Legislature and the
people at large.
The utterances Of the President
upon tariff legislation constitute, OF
course, the most important and IN
teresting feature of the message.
From the tenor il is to be inferred
that he is in thorough accord with
the provisions of the Mckinley bill,
and opposed to any alteration or
amendment Of that measure at the
present session. The President in
sists that the country has not yet
had a proper opportunity to test the
effects of the tariff act. 1t must,
he SAYS, have "a fair trial. lie de-
clares that its permanent effect upo II
trade and prices still stands largely
IL CoGJeCTuTo. After asserting that
"tbere il neither wisdom nor JUS
tice in the suggestion that the sub
iect of tariff revision shall be
opened before this law has had a
fair trial." he presents an elaborate
argument III support Of TINS view,
touching upon the criticisms of the
act advanced in foreign countries,
the good wages enjoyed by Amerl-
can working people under protec-
tive tariff; and the reciprocity clause
of the act,
The argument i'll favor of the
passage of National Election law,
with which the message concludes,
is ringing declaration for far
elections and an honest count. The
President sets forth in an admirably
concise aud vigorous style the nee
essity for such 4 measure.

Representative Mills is not only a
candidate for Speaker of the next
House, but he is also candidate
for the United States Senate; and
his method of making the latter
fact known was somewhat unique.
In a newspaper interview he stated
that he bad decided to retire from
public life with the close Of the
Fifty-second Congress, unless the
Legislature of Texas should decide
to elect him to the United States
Senate. If that is not an original
way Of announcing ones candidacy
we have never read one. But Mr..
Mills is a unique sort of fellow
any way. For instance, he is asking
to be elected Speaker of Democrat
ic House of Representatives because
he is free trader, while the other
candidates, although without excep-
ton they are free traders at heart,
are straddllng the question in order
to catch votes.
