The first effect of the Mckinley bill
will be to induce an abnormal and I'm
healthy speculation in all commodities
the prices of which will be enhance,
! by the tariff. That will extend to til,
consumers, who will doubtless bu,

The next result will, l think, bt

until the excessive stocks are con
sumed and the prices have advanced
to the level intended by the Mckinley
bill.
The law is certainly hardship ia
all consumers and will increase profits
to manufacturers until the markets of
this country become overstocked with
manufactured goods. The evil effects
of this bill will be felt most by the
laboring man and the army of men
who live on salaries, such as ministers.
teachers, clerks, etc.
Salaries will not be raised and
wages will not be advanced, but are
more likely to be reduced within a
short period, because there is more
labor waiting employment in the
United States than can be profitably
employed in manufacturing goods for
the limited market we shall have

FISHING TwINE.
Chicago T1mes.l
The Mckinley tariff increases the |
tax on linen quilting nets from 25 per
cent. This is one OF the characteristic |
beauties OF the new law. While the
was pending in the House,
parties in Chicago sent a circular
letter to Congressman respectfully |
asking them to do all in their power, |
il not to reduce the then existing rate,
ut least not to have it increased. The
petitioner stated that gilling nets are
used by large portion OF the fisher |
men of the United States; that these |
nets are made in the United States by
not over 10 concerns, who have grown
rich under the 25 per cent. protection,
while hundreds of fishermen using
these goods have hardly been able to |
exc out living; and that Canada has
the claims of her fishermen
and while protecting all other classes
of linen threads. has placed gilling |
nets on the free list.

The following table shows, with a |
very close approach to accuracy, how
much the new tariff will add to the |
cost OF certain important articles of |
the winters outfit. The family as

n boy. The articles enumerated are
comparatively cheap but of decent |
quality. The women is given a cotton
