The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1891-09-26
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 20. 1891.



The Democrats in speaking of tho
results OF the Mckinley tariff bill lie
right straight along. They never had
much regard for the truth on any
question that affected them politically,
but on this tariff question thoy seem
TO have made up their minds to out
Herod Herod in lying and not to tell
the truth unless the truth makes
stronger the deception of the people.
The fact is, that they have lied 80
much in their predictions OF the ruin
aud devastation the Mckinley tariff
was TO bring upon the country, that
they have TO keep up the system OF
lying they adopted, as a show OF con-
sistency, even though they found that
they were mistaken. 1t would never
do to acknowledge an error. They
could not go before the people and say
well, we never thought the Mckinley
bill would work in that way but We
have besn disappointed it seems to
have worked the other way. No, they
depend upon the credulity Of the peo-
PIE to believe calamity lies, and know
ing that they have been pretty well
dosed in the past with lies, they keep
gu dlshing out the game political pab-
u,em for them. .....
Even Governor Campbell, In his
opening campaign speech the other
day In Ohio, sheared close to the will
full lie line all through. The Governor
certainly knew he WAS lying when he
declared that the Mckinley tariff had
caused reduction OF wages in the
p0tteries OF Ohio, and that products
had been increased in. price. He only
put the potters of East Liverpool To
the trouble OF publishing u denial anC
branding the Governor as liar They
declare that there has been no reduc
tion of wages since the Mckinley bill
passed, but on the contrary wages av.
eraged higher and prices fol product.
lower than for five ycaIs past. Thai
ellnched that lie. But tho Governor
told another right ON the heels of the
first. He said that the tariff on lin
seed oil had been raised from 25 to G
cents on the gallon and that it sold il
Cincinnati at 20 cents gallon, and II
Europe at 81 cents. Now what die
make the Governor tell such lie
Had he looked in the Cincinnati paper
he would have found that on tho very
day he made his speech linseed oil wa.
selling In that city for SO cents gal
Ion, and 1t has since declined to 3
cents.
But the Governor seemed to have
! good stock OF lies on hand and he ken
OH reeling them Off to gullible put
lie who could hardly believe that tn
Governor OF Ohio would stand up bs
fore agaudience and willfully lie. Tn
1axtlAe he told was that the duty o
oatmeal Ind been increased resultin
in trust and consequent Increase {
prices. There was not word OF thi
true. Dat meal on that 2ery day wa
selling for only four cents a poun
or S605 barrel while on the same ia
one year before it was selling at
cents a pound or ss.25 barrel. BIT
the Governor had few more lies

No Demo"raties speaker can make
