Mckinley Price of the Working
Girls Dress.

The false predictions, or falsehoods, OF
Tariff "reformers," circulated to inlu.
ence voters last fall, are returning to
plague their authors now. The falsifer
may have thought the voters would for
get before the next election his predic-
ton last November that prices of all
kinds of manufactured goods would
Jump" and soar" under the new tariff
law. But we do not propose to let them
forget. Instead of advancing in price,
manufactures have positively declined
under the operation Of the new Tariff.
Among cotton goods prints" are per
haps most largely and universally used
by the poor, Probably there is not
workingman's family in the United
States which has not from ten to a hun
bred yards of these goods IN use Prices
of prints, therefore, particularly concern
the working people. The Press to-day
proposes to show how their prices have
changed since the Mckinley bill became
a law We take the wholesale prices Of
dry goods,as published by a representa-
tive trade paper on April S, 1890, six
months before the Tariff was changed,
and compare them with the prices Of
the identical grades of fabrics as pub

Mr. EDIToR:-I was very much interested
in your statement Of last week in relation {
the shippers Of country produce, as /, with
all others, have felt the oppression of thai
great enemy Of the farmers, producers and
consumers Of the whole peninsula, the Del
aware Railroad. The figures given by Mr..
Davis and others go to prove that we are all
slaves of that corporation. Our foolish vot-
ers have sold the whole state to that corpora
ton and it now holds in its hands, by the
act ofthe people through their representa-
tives, The sovereign bOsoe5 to tax us at its own
sweet will and pleasure. This power the
people put into the hands Of the corporation
when they did not know any better and
now that they have grown wiser they have
not the courage TO withdraw it as they should
do in the most expeditions manner. But
to the figures.
l have shipped this season so far over this
road to Philadelphia IFS crates and IS bas-
kets of frnit for which the railroad taxed me
$40 q; paid for packages SIIi9; carriage
$500; commission S7.I6 and received myself
Sass. Total expenses $50 4o. Net receipts
SAG as. Amount Of sales $50 81
From such facts and figures It will readily
be seen that we all live and labor as slaves
for the benefit of the Delaware Railroad
which hives or hugs up most Oftho infiuen-
tial men of the state with the view Of keep
ing us in this perpetual bondage. How long

There is 10 disease more disagreeable and
uncomfortable than catarrh. It attacks the
young and the old, and it is too often al
lowed to take its course. In such cases it
frequently becomes dangerous The poison
extends to the throat and lungs, resulting in
complications that are not readily overcome.
All forms of catarrh, however, disappear
before S S S, and that medicine is now
recognized as an almost infallible remedy
for the disease. It regulates the liver, i'm
proves the digestion, aud brings about CON
ditions that enable the system to throw off
the malady. Catarrh and its attendant
aggrava!ions disappear before S. S. S, and
so do all other diseases that grow out of a

that family intoa state OF decent competency
had they been required to purchase gold and
Silver by labor and by the produce Of labor be-
fore they could effect other improvements on
their property
But half the value Of bis land was advanced to
the real head Of the family I'm notes, which circu-
lated as money. With these notes he could
hire labor and purchase implements Of hus-
bandry and cattle; and thus, where without
these notes one acre could be cleared, cultivated
and stocked in year, ten would, by the assist
ance Of the paper money advanced, be reclaimed
from the forest and made productive
Thus hope entered the dwelling Of the poor
emlgrant. Ten years found him with the whole
Of his debt to the government discharged, the
proprietor Of happy home; and the kind hand
OF paternal government was stretched out still
TO advance to him again One-haf Of the increased
value OF his land, and thus enable him to clear
more Of the forest and to settle his children In
new homes. Such was the system by which
people called by the British "a set Of miserable
outcaStS," were converted in short space of
time into happy, cOntented and prosperous colo
nists.
A prosperous people are generally well satis-
fed with the form Of government under which
they live. When, In 1776, Benjamin Franklin
was examined before committee OF the whole
House Of Commons, he was asked, "what was
the temper Of America toward Great Britain be-
fore 1773?" he answered: "The best In the
world. They submitted willingly to the govern
ment Of the crown, and paid In all their courts
obedience to acts Of Parliament. Numerous as
the people are In the several old provinces, they
cost you nothing In forts, cltadels, garrisOns
or armies to keep them In subjectiOn. They
were governed by this country at the expense Of
only little pen, ink and paper. They were led
by thread. They had not only regard but an
affection for Great Britain, for It's laws It's Gus
toms, It's manners, and even a fOndneSs for It's
fashions, that greatly increased It's commerce.
Natives Of Britain were always treated with par
ticular regard; and to be an Old England man
was Of itself character Of some respect and
gave kind Of rank among u.s."
The British government took away from Amer
lea It's representative money, commanded that
no more paper bills of credit should be issued,
that they should cease to be lega. tender, and
collected the tax in silver. This was In 1773.
Now mark the consequences. This contraction
Of the circulating medium paralyzed all the In
duStrial energies Of the people. Ruin seized
upon these once flouriShlng colonies; the most
severe distress was brought home to every inter-
est and every family; discomfort was urged on to
desperation till at last 'human nature arose and
asserted It's rights" In l775 the American Con-
gress nrSt met In Philadelphia; in l776 America
became an independent state.

classes opposed an increase OF the
currency at that time that oppose it
to-day, and for the same reasons.
Franklin'g testimony as TO the effect
Of the increase of the currency is
most important at this time. It re-
suited in filling the vacant houses in
Philadelphia, and in building up and
making prosperous every Legitimate
industry in the province.
We would call especial attention to
the following observation of Frank
lin respecting the effect Of this essay:
It was well received by the common people In
general, but the rich men dlSliked 1t, for It in
creased and strengthened the clamor for more
money; and they, happening TO have no writer's
among them that were able to answer 1t, their
opposition slackened, and the point was carried
by majority In the House. The utility Of this
currency became. by time and experience, 80
evident that the principles upon which It was
founded were never afterwards disputed; 80 that
it grew soon to 10000; and In 1880 to $4,000,
trade, building and inhabitants all the while In
creadng.
Had Franklin lived at the present
time, his opponents would have made
up in ridicule and Misrepresentation
what they lacked in argument In
those early days even rich men who
were opposed to Franklin's financial
policy, were possessed Of q small
degree Of honesty; and when they
found themselves unable to answer
arguments, they knew nothing to do
but to subside and permit the srgu-
ments to prevail. They had not be-
come schooled in the refnements of
modern ridicule, misrepresentation,
forgery and perjury which are now
resorted to where argument fails.
The policy advocated by Franklin
was adopted by the province Of Penn
sylvanis. Money was loaned to the
people on real estate security at low
rates Of interest, and we have the tes-
timony of Franklin as TO the benefits
that resulted to that highly favored
colony. We will only add at this
time the testimony Of Hume to that
Of Franklin. This policy was con-
tinued until prohibited by act of the
British Parliament in 1773; and the
effect Of this prohibition is graphical
ly described by the great English his
torian. The following, which has
been once before published In The
ADVOCATE, is SO appropriate in this
connection that it is here reproduced.
It is from a letter Of Hume to the
Able Morellet of France:
In our colony Of Pennsylvania the land itself,
which Is the chief commodity, is coined and
passes into circulation. A planter Immediately
on purchasing land can 70 to q public Office and
receive notes to the amount Of half the value Of
his land, which he employs In al payments, and
they circulate through the colony by convention.
TO prevent the public being overwhelmed by
this representative money there are two means
employed First, the notes issued to any one
planter must not exceed . certain amount, what
ever may be the value Of the land; secondly,
every planter Is obliged to pay back into the pub
lie office every year One-tenth Of his notes. The
whole Is Of course annihllated In years, after
which lt is again allowed him TO take out new
notes to half the value Of his land.
