PRICES UNDER TIE MKINLEY Law.

The interviews with several of the lead
ing dry-goods dealers in this city, pub
lished yesterday, are interesting reading
for the general public. The representa-
tiveS of several of the leading houses deal
ing in clothing, general dry goods, car
pets, upholstery goods, shoes and wall-pa-
pers, Democrats as well as Republicans,
declare that the prices of all lines of
these goods are as low as "a year ago, or
nearly three months before the passage
of the Mckinley law. Last October the
Democratic and assistant Democratic
press were publishing predictions re-
garding the advances in prices, and the
free-trade or importers organs were
publishing comparisons of the prices
then with those that would prevail
after the Mckinley law was in full
force, all of which showed an ad-
m all along the line of from
ID to 25 per cent. And now, when the
main features of the Mckinley law have
been in operation nine months, the
whole trace of Indianapolis. SO far as
questioned, de clare that prices are no
higher than a year ago, except for lace
curtains and imported cigars. Will the
independent News, which claims to be
so far, come out and confess its Oft
printed mistakes of last OctoberP Will
it not recall the pearl button lament and
the story about Marshall Field adding
One-third to the price of brOgans?
But the fact that prices have not adj
vanced is not the only gratifying feat
ure of this series of interviews. "TO-
day." said one large dealer, ''the de-
signs in American prints are handsomer
than any imported stuff; We are getting
to be Americans with a big "a
in the dry-goOds line; there are no
better silks than American" An
other remarked that goods were
never as cheap as now" but he went on
tn say that 100 per cent. of the silks sold
are made in this country, and they are
recognized as better than imported
silks. Europe cannot produce as good
silks as we have in this country, made
by American improved machinery"
He goes on to say: "We were told last
year that we were not going to get any
good hosiery; now, we never had as
good imported hosiery at the prices we
are able TO sell at tO-day." The Journal
has said a great many things in favor of
protection, but it never printed two
thirds of a column of such arguments
for protection as those interviews print
ed yesterday. They are enough to
make an Anglomaniac free-trade editor
curse his luck. But every American
will rejoice that his own country can
lead the world.

A CONFESSION OF WEAKNESS.

1t has been announced that the most
active and influential of the political
Alliance leaders in Kansas. including
Mrs. Lease and Mrs. Diggs, are going to
Georgia as missionaries to convert the
Georgia Alliance to the Peoples party
scheme. The Topeka correspondent of
the New York Times, which is not a Re-
publican paper. writing upon the SUBJ
ject, says:
1t has leaked out here that they have
been detailed for this work on account
of the general apathy felt in Georgia for
the movement at this time. because of the
tendency of Southern Alliance men to re-
main in the Democratic party. Last year
the leaders of this new movement in Kansas
promised the Republicans that the South
was ready TO revolt and leave the Democ-
racy, and that the Republicans of Kansas
SHOULD cut loose from their party and meet
their Southern brethren half way In the
great battle for reform. Thousands of Re-
publicans vent into the new movement on
the distinct understanding that the Demo-
Gratis of the south would do the same. The
first evidence to the kansans that their
Southern brethren would remain in the
Democratic party came at the Cincinnati
convention, when only thirty-two delegates
were present from the entire South. Since
that time there has been a disposition
among Republicans in Kansas to hold aloof
from the new movement until the South
showed some signs of meeting the West
erners.
That is, these Alliance leaders, these
disciples of PETER and Simpson, are GO
ing TO the South to try to induce the AL
lance people to cease to be Democrats
and Join the Peoples party. giving as a
reason that those who have been Repub-
licans will 60 back to their old party if
the Alliance people in the South do not
make a show of supporting the new or
ganization. They have induced those

nection Herewith, as wholly contrary to

Pennsylvania politics, had been a dele
gate to the Republican conventions Of
1856 and 1860, and in the latter had been
largely instrumental in giving Mr..
Lincoln the vote of Pennsylvania. He
was chairman of the Republican State
committee in 1860. when the Republicans
carried the State, and he had done many
things to earn Lincoln's confidence.
His friendship for Lincoln antedated
that of Simon Cameron, and his services
had been at least as great. 1t is not at
all incredible that in selecting a con-
fidant in the Pennsylvania delegation
to Baltimore Lincoln should have
chosen Mcclure instead of Cameron.
Editor Dana, of the New York Sun,
throws some light on the situation. In
an editorial in that paper on ''The Re-
publican Cabal against President Lin
coin" he recalls some features of that
episode, ard says positively that MIR.
Hamlin was a party to the movement.
The movement itself was notorious at
the time, and is matter of history. Mr..
Dana was connected with the admins
tration in 1864, and knew a great deal
of the inside of things. He says:
1t Is hardly necessary to add that Mr..
Hamlin's position was no secret from the
Presidents: and while there never was a
word said from the White House that bore
upon the subject, the Vice president was
never mistaken for q friend of the admins
tration.
Mr.. Dana could hardly be mistaken in
a matter concerning which he was in so
good a position to know. We must con-
clude, therefore, that Mr.. Lincoln had
reasons for not feeling friendly t o the
denomination of Hamlin, although if
the party and the convention had pre-
ferred him Mr.. Lincoln would have
put those reasons behind him. On the
other hand, there were obvious reasons
at the time why the nomination of a
Southern Union man for second place
might be considered very good politics.
1t must be remembered that Mr.. Lincoln
had a warm feeling for Southern Union
men, and in 1864 Andrew johnson was
the personificatiOn of that sentiment.
We think the weight of evidence, both
direct and circumstantial, goes to show
that Mr.. Lincoln did secretly, though
not openly, favor the nomination of

who were Republicans to vote with them
on the assurance that Alliance members
in the South would support Alliance
tickets. Instead of doing so they voted
the Democratic tickets, as usual. Then
the Northern leaders called a convention
to form a new party, and implored the
Southern Alliance to aid them, but few
of them attended. Now the Republicans
begin to see that they have been trif1ed
with and are leaving the political
Alliance. If the Southern Alliance
is Lot made to appear to be warmly
in favor of the new party, the deceived
Alliance men who were Republicans
will stampede. Of the real result Of
this mission there can be no doubt. The
Alliance people in the South may be
made to profess an attachment to the
new party. but no one doubts that in
the end the members of the Southern
Alliance will vote the Democratic ticket.
as they did last fall. The Alliance lead
ers in the South, outside of Polk and
Macune, have declared against a new
party so strongly that should the alter
native be a choice between abandoning
the Alliance or the Democratic party,
the last man of them would abandon the
Alliance. In Georgia the Alliance con-
trolls the Democratic party, and will
sustain the presidential candidate of
the Democratic party. whatever pro-
fessions it may make to the contrary to
the Kansas missionaries. Meantime,
the Alliance voters in Kansas and other
Northern States who have been Repub-
licans are learning that the leaders of
the political Alliance have had but one
pur pose in view-the overthrow of the
Republican party in the interest of any
organization which will forward their
wild schemes, and, above all, extend to
them official recognition.

THE surviving members of the Twenty
ffth Regiment, New York Cavalry, are
holding a reunion in Washington. On
the 18th of July. 1864, this regiment hur-
ried through Washington at double
quick time and moved out a few miles
north of the city to repel Eariy's corps.
They were just in time to stop the raid
ers and hold them in check until the
Sixth Corps came up. 1t was regarded
at the time as a close call for Washing
ton. President Lincoln went out to
Fort Stevens to the soldiers,

on this the New York World asks: docs

American citizens would ever have
united to submit the Mckinley tariff act

PHILADELPHIA is laughing Owe the
action of the new city treasurer in re-
gard to city deposits. In order to test
the balances of city moneys on deposit
in the various banks he drew checks for
the full amount, counted and then re-
turned it. IL one instance he checked
out $104, 900. to satisfy himself that the
money was there. The banks on which
the checks were drawn were in good
credit and had ample resources. The
controller has notified the treasurer that
his action is unauthorized. 1t is also
absurd.
