The Mckinley Bill Abroad.

We judge from our Commercial Cable
dispatches this morning that foreign manu-
facturers are unable as yet to predict the
consequences of the Mckinley bill.
The various interviews which we print
on another page will be read with interest
by our business men. They will not get
much light on the subject, for the bill is
too young yet to show its mettle. On
neither side of the Atlantic is there any
| means Of Judging the extent of injury it
will do. We must wait quietly until the
shoe begins to pinch and then we shall know
just where the pain is and how great it is.
| There seems, however, to be general
agreement that the higher class Of goods
will be imported as usual and that the
cheaper grades will be most seriously af-
fected. That ID to say, the rich man won't
feel the additional tax on his purple and
fine linen, for few dollars more or less are
mere bagstelle. II he wants velvet he
won't stand on the price. But the importa-
ton Of such stuff as the poor man wears
will be greatly crippled, because the tariff
grows proportionately heavier as the grade
falls. So far as he is concerned the foreign
market is closed, and he must buy OF the
home producer and pay whatever price he
sees fit to ask. He can't afford it. but that
makes no difference The Mckinley bill is
now the law of the land aud he must face
the music
You would think that friendly govern
ment, if it Disseminated at all, would see
that the rich man paid little more than
his share and the poor man little less.-
But that is not the way the bill works, nor
the way it was intended to work. Its pur-
pose is to increase the profits of the manu-
facturer by making the wageearner pay
the top notch price for the necessaries of
life, and it accompllshes that purpose with
remarkable success.
All right. Set the machine going. Let
it grind when it will. We shall want new
Congressman by and by, and perhaps we
shall have sense enough to elect men who
care more for the people than they do for
party.-M. Y. Herald.

THE SUB-TREASURY.
An Unbiased Analysis of the Bill
By Successful Business Man Who is a
Financial Authority-A Strong
y Document Upon an I'M
p0rta1at Subject.
ATLANTA Constitution

ATLANTA constitutional
The effort to belittle the Sub Treas
ury plan presented by the Farmers
Alliance has failed. No measure b IS
in years commanded so much atten
ton in this State. In spite of the
denunciation of those who pronounce
it undemocratic class legislation, wild,
impracticable, revolutionary and cal
culated if passed to debase the cur
rency, and the ridicule of those who
declare they want no money based on
pumpkins and corn shucks," it has
won the support of the farmers to a
remarkable degree. Neither denuncia-
ton nor ridicule has weakened its
supporters. No mere absurd and i'll
timed proposition could make such
headway. The very reception of this
measure evidences in a high degree
that the conditions surro 1nding the
farming class demand improvement.
But we have no need for evidence on
this subject.
EVILS OF CONTRACTION.
That the business of the whole
country is suffering through the con
traction of the currency is admitted
by all parties. Tie recent silver leg,
islation is the direct outgrowth of this
admission. From the very nature Of
their business the contraction of the
currency bears with special weight
upon the farmers. The leading prod
ucts of their labor are harvested dur.
ing few months of the year, while
the whole year is necessary to their
consumption. The years supply of
their products cannot be drawn out
day after day, as with the manufac.
turer, but they must prepare and SOW
and cultivate and harvest, and then
force their crops upon the markets of
the country at time when every line
OF business, stimulated by the market
ing OF these very crops, is most active.
thus the great bulk of their crops,
gathered within three or four months,
must be sold by the farmers, owing to
the necessities of their conditions, at a
tLme when money is most in demand,
II
W Inose who are able to carry them
III Until required for actual consumption.
Lne result Is a stringency in the
money market, high rates of interest
@ anu a corresponding depression in the
prices OF the productions of the farm
ana OF nearly all classes of securities.
