IT is announced by certain free trade
Journals that the Mckinney bin will be
attacked during the coming session OF
Congress and the next by introducing
separate bills relating to the duty ON
articles on which Republicans are known
% differ For instance, an assault Is to
be made on binding twine for harvesting
m ,chines, and an effort made TO place it
o. the free list, with the hope that
rough Republicans will unite with the
Democrats to strike off the duty. During
the late political canvass partially sue
cessfni attempt was made, particularly in
some of the western States, to stampede
the agriculturisis FROM the Republican
ranks, on the alleged high duty placed
on this article by the Mckinley bill, and
il is now hoped to disintegrate the bill
b. terrorizing representatives Of agrieul-
tural districts into voting to repeal the
dity. The cry against the duty on this
article was "a very good Morgan during
/ the campaign, when stump orators made
u1contrAdicted statements, OF, in other
words, resorted to downright lying but
now, when reason has resumed IFS sway
and the agrirulin'ist can turn at his
leisure TO the Mckinley bill, he will find
that under the bate law binding twine
paid duty Of two and one half cents
per pound, whereas under the present
bill, tie duty is ouly seven tenths Of q
cent per pound. Knowing the amount
Of this article he has used, his slate and
pencil will soon give him the "ruinOns"
/ sum of lis "sar" on this commodity.
z ople can be humbugged in the heat Of
campaign by almost any catch cry, "
but v hen they get TO coolly ciphering
they are made sensible of their folly.
The hope Of the Democrats is TO keep up
the agitation, unseitle business, attribute
every thing to the Mckinley bill and thus
prevent the C untry from judging it on
its merits

Major Mckinley. on visit to Chicago
since the election, was interviewed on the
subject of tide recent elections and among
other things said
] DO not know to what extent the new
Tariff law influenced the elections this year.
1t Is said IN some quarters that it had much
to do with the Republican losses. This may
be true, but IL true II is not because of the
new law itself bat because Of the misunder-
standing OF its provisions among the people
and of the studied efforts of the Free traders,
at home and abroad. to misrepresent It..
Every enemy OF Protection seemed engaged
in deludine the people concerning both the
text and effect Of the law. The alleged
marking up Of prices was most telling
agency Of deception and excited much preju-
dice against the law. II must be remember
ed that the law was less than 4 month old
when the elections occurred. Its effect could
not be felt or shown by actual experience.
The Free-trade partisan, moved BY selfish
considerations, had bis opportunity and Inn
proved Il. Falsehood took the place Of fact
and imposed upon the credulous people.
Goods were said to go up in prices which
had been placed on the free list in the new
law. Now that the elections are over. the
law will be better understood and must tell
It's own story in actual operation. Time
alone will vindicate it or condemn il. Mis-
representation and deception viii no longer
avail. Those who care 10 know its exact
provisions can do so by examination of the
law itself removed from partisan contest or
pr iudicer

Sugar, Tin and Fruits.

We ind the Democratic press unanimous
ly noisy in demand that the Gamers of
fruits shall raise the prices of their products
ION account of the UNANIMOUSLY increased
duty on tin, and we find them just as unani-
mously silent in a demand that they should
reduce the prices Of their products on ac-
count of the virtually decreased duty on su-
gar.
Why is this thus Why does the Demo-
cratic press desire that the price Of every
thing should be raised and nothing lowered
Why does L desire an abridgement OF the
general comfort of the people?
Neither on tin nor on sugar has the tariff
yet effected change of 5rty. But in March
the duty on sugar will be decreased very
greatly in July the duty on tinware viii be
increased very slightly. After March the
Gamers will pay 90 cents less on every doz-
en- three pound cans Of fruit, assuming that
one and half pounds Of sugar are used in
every three pound can. After July they will
pay about cents per dozen more for cans,
assuming that the increased duty is added
TO the cost of tin, and the decreased duty is
taken from the cost of sugar.
Thus, upon a tariff basis, there will be e
