A Pennsylvania Republican wrote
Senator Plumb, Of Kansas, protesting
against his recent tarin reform
speeches. In his reply Senator Plumb
said, among other things:
Notwithstanding the poor opinion Of ne
which you express, that probably make
speeches which do mot represent my scnti.
ments, want to assure you that never was
more In earnest In my life than In making tho
remarks you mention. II may he, - you say.
that the manufacturers are having hard time,
but this has been true Of the farmers whom
represent. for many years. and they do not
seem to think just now that It would be any re-
lief to them TO put up the prices Of manufact-
urcd goods Congress passed . bill for the ben.
eft Of the worsted manufacturers . short time
ago which, am told, put up the prices about
twenty -fve per cent. The Mckinley bill, 1t il
said, and on apparent good authority. will In
crease them about twenty-five per
cent. more. Somebody must, OF course,
pay these extra duties. and 1t seems
TO me as though the consumers
were fairly TO be taken into account agrco
that In raising revenues for carrying on tho
Government proper regard may be hsd as 70
the needs Of the domestic manufacturer In the
way Of protection. but he must take some
chances in the country in which he lives and
which he exDects TO supply with goods In my
judgment, the Mckinley bill Is decidedly wrong

made better In the Senate, but IN Its present
shape fdkes into account solely fAs m0asfocf

this resa a II does OF n ct with my views
Here We have = square confession by
leading Republican Senator that the
Mckinley bill takes into account
solely the manufacturer" Mr.. Blaine
has already told the country that there
is not q section or line in the McKin-
ley bill that opens . market for an
other bushel of wheat or another barrel
Of pork. The leading Republican news
papers in Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska,
Kansas and Missouri have denounced 1t
in equally emphatic terms.
Thus we have abundance Of unim-
peachable Republican testimony to tho
dement's of the Mckinley bill And
yet it was passed by Congress and ap-
proved by President Harrison - Re-
