"McKinleylsm" narrows the foreign

In the face Of fact like this what Is
the uss for Mckinley to try 70 humbug
the farmer BY raising the duty on wheat
from twenty cents . bushel to twenty
i've cents and on corn from ten cents

Kinley has injured our foreign market
for wheat and corn more than four times
as much for . single month and for .
single country.
To put the matter In still moro
striking light for every dollars worth
OF corn and wheat that he prevents from
coming into this country from all other
countries hecu of sixty dollars worth
from the farmers foreign market in :
single country.
And such is the qualitg OF "McKin-
leyism,'
But il is not France alone that Is pay
ing US back our ''McKinle yism" sixty
fold Canada takes . hand in the bust
ness, too. and has gotten her mills Of re-
taliation a-grinding. Among other re-
taliatory duties which McKinle- has
given Canada cause to impose IS tho
duty OF three cents q pound on our
lard. We exported to British North
America" for the fiscal year 1889 lard to
the amount OF IA. las 900 pounds; for the
year 1890 the export was 5. as. 900
pounds
As the result OF Canada's duty on lard
our farmers are shut out from that mar
ket " Is reported that N. X lair
banks & Co. the extensive pork pack
ers Of Chicago. have leased promises in
Montreal and VII 60 into the lard busi-
ness there. The report states that they
could not sell their American lard in
Canada owing to the threecent duty.
OF course Canadian farmers will furnish
the hogs for this Montreal establish
ment
This example shows not only how
"McKinleyism" narrows the market for
our farm products, but also how it drives
American capital out Of the country.
Was IL in view Of q fact like this that
Mckinley said: This bill is framed In
the interest Of the people OF the United
States"

Why this Discrimination against us?

A five hundred dollar house wound up
the Midnight Bell" season last evening
and all the bright things of the piece went
with the same hysterical furore as on the
two preceding nights. When MIR. Hoyt
conceived "a Midnight Beil' he had no
idea his name would so laundering down
the ages as an author-and it won't. He
simply aimed to hit the popular fancy and
he made bulls eye. Hoyt is clever in
ventor, but not an enduring playwright.
He siezes opportunities and makes money
out Of them, just as Edison seizes the oc-
cult forces of electricity and uses them to
suit his marvellous purposes. The
dramatist of the past may wall aud
fume at the success of what he calls trash
but the fact remains that in all of Hoyt's
pieces there is the unmistakable evidence
OF brain teeming with originality and
bright and clear ideas A Midnight Bell
Certain it. is, if there had been no Old
Homestead, there would have been no
Midnight Bell; yet it is difficult, so clev-
erly is the thing done, to put your finger on
any particular scene, incident or character
that exists in Denman Thompson's csle-
brated play. The generations to come may
not honor Royt as Shakespeare, but if he
is prudent, there is no especial reason why
they may not regard him as a Rothschild

the last opportunities of seeing the merry

brief outline of the production may be in

Dixey has taken for his foundation the
seven ages of Shakespeare, as spoken By
