SAME OLD MCKINLEY PRICES.
But They are Lower on Manufactured
Goods and Higher on Farm Products.


Contracts have just been awarded at
Washington for Indian annuity and other
goods and supplies. amounting TO more
than 81, 000. 600 for the next fiscal year.
These goods and supplies include thous-
ands OF wooden blankets, oyercoats, suits OF
clothing, shawls and other wooden and
worsted manufactures; tens of thousands
Of yards of denims, calico and other manu-
features of cotton; hundreds ot tons OF I'M
worked iron and steel and hundreds of
tons of builders hardware, stoves, and
kitchen and household utensils; besides
axes ploughs, hoes, and other agricultural
tools and implements by the carload; tons
of beef, PORK and -four, and tens Of thous
ands of bushels of corn, oats, and other
grain Assistant Secretary Bussey las
personal supervision of the letting of the
contracts, and has personally inspected all
samples of goods to be furnished by the
successful builders.
Did you pay Mckinley prices for these
goods ?" asked a correspondent.
Yes, of course, replied General Bus
sey.
'Wen, how did they correspond with
the prices paid for like goods last year?''
the correspondent asked.
For manufactured goods the prices
were generally a shade lower than last
year; for beef -four and other agricultur-
al products the prices were somewhat
higher.
Gould you buy wooden goods as cheap
ly as you did last year befo.e the tariff bill
became a law?'
Yes, and the quality of the goods is
better For example, eight pound wo5len
blankets last year cost the government and
the Indians 1886 pair; this year they
will cost 50 81 pair The same con.
tractors who furnished them last year
were the successful bidders this year, and
the samples were as good or better than
those of 1890. The blankets will slightly
overrun eight pounds a pair This year
we get good, seryiceable oyercoats, well
lined and made at 3d. each, and other
kinds Of clothing in proportion. In fact,
all manufactured goods, including wool
ems cottons, boots and shoes, leather
iron and steel and hardware of every des-
crlption-everything in fact-costs little
less than last year. "
And 50 1t appears that Mckinley
prices in June, 1891, even for woolens,
are cheaper than the prices of last June,
before the new tariff bill had passed con-
gress, and when free traders and their
newspaper organs were loudly proclaiming
that it never would become law They
we're false prophets then; later they were
something worse What are they now?
Perhaps they will have the effrontry TO con-
tradict the statements Of General Busy.
