Certain Defeat FOR the Democrats.

special to the Herald gives an interview
with Senator Quay, in which he says:
81 regard Hill's election to the senate,
if it secure to Cleveland the presidential
nomination, .as Fit is alleged
it will do, the best thing that

1t is plain that Hill only can carry New

the state without any doubt. 1t tends
to simplify the case very much"
Quay refused to say whom he thought
the Republicans would nominate, but
thought that if Blaine cared to run, and
received the nomination, Pennsylvania
would undoubtedly be for him.

our own trade with those countries
whose products do not compete

year, fulfilling expectation? The

commerce just issued shows that

Is Not This Good Result?

One result of the socalled Nc
Kinley tariff law is exciting the
wonderment Of the Democratic free
traders. They declared that our
foreign commerce must be seriously
diminished, yet both the imports
and the exports show handsome
Increase. Foreign manufacturers
are sending class of much better
goods to the United States, and the
poor class of goods are shut out by
the tariff, as our manufacturers are
max ing better quality Of goods of
the low grade and are affording
them at lower price. This is an
immense advantage to the working.
men, as they are no longer swindled
by the shoddy goods from Europe,
and at the same time there is
larger market for our home labor in
manufacturing low grade goods.
This Is true craftsmanship, aud is
really a wheel in the Republican
system. The impression is now de-
cided that the manufacturers of
Great Britain in all forms of textile
fabrics will, because of our new
tariff, suffer far less than the German
manufacturers, who have heretofore
exported to our country low-grade
goods. The tin plate industry is
slowly revlying in Wales, because
the manufacturers there perceived
that the United States is more and
more consuming a greater quantity
of tin plate, aud they can make a
profit by selling at the old rates or
even less. We believe that the re.
suit will be that a better article of
tin plate will be sent to the United
States, and at a fraction less price.
The manufacturers know they can
retain our market only by making a
superior arCicle.-Egeaing WiSc0n-

Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1891-09-19

a LITTLE summing up of some Of
the results Of the Mckinley tariff
act appears in the Aledo Record:
"rhe Mckinley bill has been in
operation ten months, and what is
the result? The poor laborer buys
his sugar for half what he paid a
year ago; buys tin cans for ten
cents a do zen less than he did, and
buys everything used in his family
either at a reduction, or at the same
figures, paid before the bill was
passed. Nor is that all. While it
costs the laboring man less to live
than 1t did year ago, thousands
are now employed, at good wages,
who were then idle"
