M'KINLEY TIN BUTTONS.
An English Iron Manufacturer Says
They We're Made in Wales.

An English Iron Manufacturer SAYS
They We're Made in Wales.
w. Watson, an iron manufacturer
of Birmingham, England, was at
the Hotel Duquesne yesterday. Mr..
Watson wore one of the MCKINLEY
buttons, which are being worn by
the Republicans of Ohio. The but
tons are made of tin, and the words
American Tin" are stamped be-
meath a bust of Major Mckinley.
Mr.. Watson ridiculed the statement
that the buttons are being made in
this country, and said that the one
he wore was made in Swansea,
Wales, and was presented to him
before leaving London to prove the
fallacy of the claim being made by
the Republicans on this side of the
deep. In conversation he said:
81 have unquestionable authority
that this badge was made in Swan
sea; and further, 1 am also informed
that every button of the same kind
that is being paraded as American
tin in Ohio, was made by a Welsh
manufacturer. The Mckinley tar
iff las not sent the English and
Welsh manufacturers to the wall, as
it has been enormously stated in
this country. 1t is true the Welsh
tin mills were forced to shut down
for short period, but this was be-
cause they had manufactured an
enormous amount of tin before the
Mckinley bill became effective. The
consequence of this was they arc
overstocked. Our iron industry is
not affected badly us the Republi-
can press represents. The exports
were comparatively light and we
can find another market for this
small amount'-Pttsburg Post.

Cleveland or Hin.

1t is to be hoped that the admir-
ers of these two democratic leaders
may stop their everlasting clamor
for the preferment of one or the
other of them. One would think
from the manner in which the claims
of these two men are discussed by
their partisans, that the democratic
party had no choice outside these
two names. Fortunately, we are
not in such desperate straits as this,
and we are able to find men as
worthy of preferment as either of
these, and men who in every sense
of the word, will measure up to the
stature of either of them.
1t requires no great search to find
men who can by reason of their fit.
ness for the position command tho
undivided support of the democratic
party, and men too, who will not
allow their personal vanities and
ambitions to initiate against the
success of the party. 1t may be that
the friends of Cleveland and Hill
may make it absolutely necessary
to look outside New York for a
candidate for the Presidency. In
deed we are very much of the opin-
ion that things have about reached
that point at this time. Ifthis is so,
we can find in either Pattison of
Pennsylvania, Campbell of Ohio,
Gray of Indiana, Russell of Massa-
chusetts, Boies of Iowa, or Gray of
Delaware, fitting substitute for
men who allow their ambitions and
rivalries to endanger party success.
We are rather of opinion that the
condition of affairs in New York
will render it unsafe to look to the
Empire State for our leader. There
is shrewd suspicion that instead of
the democratic party of this country
having been made by either Cleve-
land or Hill, it has made them both;
that instead of looking to them for
control of this government, they
must look to it for whatever of
honor or preferment they obtain
that it is unwise and unsafe for the
party to stake its fortunes upon any
one who may be knitted by follow
ing as unreliable as the followers OF
a New York politician.
Either of the gentlemen named
outside the state of New York is a
man who is in every essential
worthy the highest honor at the
command of his party, man who
has no enemies to punish and u man
who is the peer of either Cleveland
or Hill in all essential to him who
becomes President of the United
States. Monroe Waterman.

Representative Mills, says, there
is no foundation in the report tele-
graphed from New York that he
and Mcmillan were trying to make
a combination and dicker with the
house clerkship for the purpose of
getting control of the New York
delegation. He says he will make
no deal with anyone and that he
will sink or swim solely on his
merits. He docs not figure on be-
ing nominated on the first ballot in
the house caucus, hut he appears to
be confident of ultimate success.

Protection organs insist that
American manufactures are not
sold cheaper in Europe than at
home. Here is bit of CONVERSE
ton between an Investigator of the
subject and an English manufac-
turcr which will not be reproduced
by the aforementioned journals, but
which is to the point:
'Isn't it fact that already Ameri-
can calicoes have been sold here in
England in large quantities."
"Not in the way of competitive
trade, and that is a phenomenon
that can be easily explained
America pursues policy followed
in all highly protected countries.
When her market is overstocked
and she cannot sell at profit, rather
than lower the price at home she
ships her surplus stock abroad and
gets what she can for it. Other
wise home market prices would be
reduced and it would be slow work
getting them up again to the former
level. That is how occasionally
American calicoes are sold in Eng

The query is often made, always
by Republican papers, if free sugar
is such good thing, why didn't the
Democrats in Congress vote for free
sugar. We answer, because they
never had the opportunity. The
free sugar clause was only part OF
the Mckinley schedule, and to have
voted for that would have been TO
endorse the sugar bounty scheme,
and all the other I'M Democratic
features of the new tariff law. That
is why Democrats didn't vote for
free sugar.

1t is supposed by tho unthinking
that a crop failure in Europe means
big prices over here. But a failure
of cropsin Europe means hard times,
poverty, and scarcity of money over
there which deprive those people OF
the means to buy with. 1t is only
when there are good times all
around that affairs are prosperous.
When their crops fail they have
nothing to sell, consequently nc
money to buy with.

1t is claimed that the people pay
no taxes to the general government,
and that the only taxes they pay
are those collected by the sheriff
This is a singular assertion but it is
in keeping with the Republican
position on the tariff question. The
government has no means of getting
money except from the people
Annually it collects large sums
which the people pay indirectly ii
is true, but they pay it nevertheless
The worst thing about this tariff
tax is that the poor man has to pay
more than the rich, for the reason
that on account of his poverty he
has to purchase and use the coarser
articles upon which the tariff is the
largest, while the rich revel in the
finest which come in under a less
duty. While with the State tax d
man pays on what he has.-LdeJ..

McKlnle,ism in GERMANY.

Germany has Mckinley tariff
levied to protect its labor against
"the paupcr labor of Illinois, Iowa
Missouri, Kansas and other western
farming States which produce bread
stufis for sale to the German people.
The most favored class in Germany
are the noble landlords, for whose
protection against our farmers the
German Governmet levies the same
high taxes we levy in this country
to protect our trusts. As the land
holders of Germany are thus pro-
teeted exactly as are our holders of
manufacturing machinery, it is in
teresting to see how much of this
protection reaches the German
worker. The Massachusetts official
reports on manufactures show that
in the cotton factories of that single
State there are %, 900 persons work
ing for "under So week. . In the
consular reports for June, Consul
General Edwards, of Berlin, gives a
table of the wages paid the highly
protected agricultural laborers of
Germany in all the townships of the
Empire. These wages run from 5
to 60 cents a day. according to age
and sex, and Consul Edwards says:
When iris taken into considera-
ton that the laborers Sind them
selves" from such wages, it seems
reasonable to conclude that such
food as beef and pork at their pres.
ent prices is beyond their reach.
1t appears from these tables that
the average days wages for full
grown, able bodied male farm work
er is about 80 cents a day under a
Mckinley system of high protective
taxes for the landlords. Drawing
such wagesand "finding-themseIvcs'
while protected" on Mckinley
principles against our food supplies,
it is hardly likely that these poor
people will be able to afford our
beef and pork. All they can afford
is % draw their belts tighter around
their empty stomachs and throw up
their hats for the Kaiser exactly as
the farmers of Ohio are being called
on to throw up their hats for Nc
Kinley.
How much longer will people to
whom God gives brains enough to
fill their stomachs and cover their
backs in comfort be guilty of this
folly.-.St. Louis Republic.

For some reason not yet explain
ed, says the Chicago Herald, Major
Mckinley failed in his great opening
speech to refer to the fact that un-
der his robber tariff on wool and

looms in Chicago for 6 cents dozen
and sowing on cloaks at the rate OF
40 cents for Is hours. Ifprotection

A high tariff on wool does not in
crease the demand for the homo pro-
duct But it does this: 1t offers a
big temptation to lie and cheat and
lower the quality of wooden goods.
1t acts just in the same way that
the two dollar IL gallon internal
revenue tax acted on whiskey. The
adulteration became so general that
it was impossible to get pure liquor
for even medical purposes. Furth-
err, it was making criminals by the
wholesale, hence the reduction by
the government of one hundred
per cent. What do we find the case
to be around rs in regard to the
price of wool. 1t is from three to
four cents pound less than last
year, and in poor demand. Shoddy,
old rags, worked over is in great
demand, and is entering into the
composition of all cheap wooden
goods. Dealers said they could not
sell pure article at the advance,
the mass of the people could not
afford it, so the manufactures had
to lower the quality of his goods in
order to keep down the price.
When wooden goods are selling for
as little or less than a year ago, the
buyer can make up his mind the
quality has considerably detcriorat-
