The Mckinley Blessing.
The Mckinley tariff is fast doing its
work Of devastation. Prices are going
up and wages are going down, and
the millionaires are growing richer
and richer.
Yesterday THE JERSEY CRY NEWS
chronicled the final issue Of the trou-
BILE in the Trenton potteries. The
men must submit to reduction in
their wages of 33 1-3 per cent. or else
they must abandon their work and
their homes and go elsewhere in search
OF livelihood. But what does the
protected boss care? He knows that
builders cannot afford to buy foreign
made earthenware. and SO they must
wait until he is ready to supply them.
And as the present stoppage Of work
will make the ware scarce. the manu-
taeturer will have chance to put up
prices.
Again there is the difficulty at the
Carnegie steel works. These pro-
tected cormorants have for years
robbed the American workingman by
importing the pauper labor OF Europe
to supplant him in their foundries.
Their works have been in the hands
of half savage Hnngarians for at
least two years past. And
now, through the benign in
fiuence of the Mckinley stone
wall tariff, they are enabled
to grind down the wages of these i'm
ported wretches so low that they can
no longer live on them and are com
PEELED to strike. What does MIR.
Andrew Carnegie carer The trade is
depressed just move, and he is rather
glad to shut down his works. When
the demand becomes brisk again
Europe cannot help to fill it. The
tariff shuts her cut. The railways
will have to wait for Mr.. Carnegie to
supply them with rails. and will have
to pay his prices, too. Meanwhile he
will have his Hungarians properly
starved into submission, and they will
be glad to return TO work at the mere
price Of bread. Thus will his profits
be increased at both ends, and pres
emily he will build another library
and win fresh laurels as a philan-
thropist.
Truly the Mckinley tariff is bless
ing to the workingman.
FROM the article printed in an
other column, there is reason to
think that the County Road project
is being handled in business-like
way and ground for hope that it viii
be realized both promptly and eco
nosnically. While we regard it as Of
less consequence to the public than
the park enterprise-as affecting a
smaller class OF persons-stilI we be-
ieve that the county has considerable
advantages to reap from the construc-
ton OF the big boulevard. The at
fractions it will offer to horse owners
will remove one great barrier from
the settlement of wealthy men in this
section, and the property along
the road will hold out many attrac-
tions to such settlers as sites for resi-
dences. The road, it is reasonable to
EXPECT, will be made picturesque and
beautiful by planting and trimming,
and the color and animation of holi-
day driving will make it cheerful
and pleasant line to build upon. The
first result of the great enterprise
ought to be a boom in tax values
which will make the million spent
on it seem insignificant.
LIZ the Worlds story is true that
Plain Billy means to desert Jersey
City for New York the loss is ours.
Mr.. McAdoo will do honor to any
constituency he represents, and
doubtless he has learned enough to
keep on good terms with his party at
home for the future
The Force Bill on Its Merits.
The State Gazette absurdly writes
concerning the Force Bill -
