TRUTH ABOUT PRICES.
TESTIMONY THAT WILL MAKE THE
FREE-TRADER STOP LYING.

Prices of Fifty-six Articles In Common
All but Ono Lower Than Year Ago.
How Prices Now Compare with 1857.
About Sept. a letter was sent to the
1,400 official correspondents Of the Amer
ican Protective Tariff league asking them
to get the prices of the fifty-six articles
given below from the merchants in their
vicinity, and the result was published in
recent number of The American Econ
omist, which says:
The returns have been most COM
plete. In many instances the testimony
of three and four merchants is given.
The correspondents did not ask deal
er's politics; they were simply instructed
to get actual retail prices as they existed
at the period stated. We only regret
that our readers cannot have the benefit
OF each and every report. They will re-
main ON file in this office, however, and
each one is signed not only by the name
of the correspondent, but contains the
names of the merchants giving the in
formation. They have come not only
from every state and territory, but from
every nook and corner Of the United
States. Of course there is a wide di-
vergence in prices Of the same article in
different localities. due in part to dis
tance from large cities, but due more to
the fact that all did not figure on exactly
the same article. For instance, mer-
chant in one state would give the figures
on milk pan of one size, while mer-
chant in another state would give the
price on different size. An average of
the whole set of returns has therefore
been made, with the result given below.
This table has been very carefully COM
piled and verified. 1t shows that with
only one exception everything mention
ed is lower than two years ago, and it
shows what u difference there's between
prices in a Protection period and Free
trade period. The returns for 1857 were
found on about one-third of the sheets,
and were in nearly every instance taken
from accounts of that time:

Cheapness lMs never been desidera-
tum of The American Economist nor Of
the advocates of the principles of Pro-
lection. We believe that thing can be
too cheap, and that the interests of the
producer are of equal importance to
those of the consumer. We do not ask
for Protection merely that things may
be cheaper. We advocate Protection
for far different reasons. We are bound
to admit and assert, however, that pro-
tective tariff brings about lower prices.
On the other hand, the Free-trader
says it brings about higher prices. Who
is right? Theory and argument will not
settle the question. There is only one
way to get at the truth and that is to
present actual prices from reliable
sources. We have had much to say dur
ing the past year about mckinley
prices" We have shown week after
week that the KcKinley act has not in
creased the prices of the necessaries of
life. We fully exposed the lying tactics
of the Free-traders in the election of last
fall. We know that in some instances
merchants did mark up their goods
for few weeks, but we have shown
time and time again that thousands were
led to believe that prices were higher,
when they had not been changed or were
in fact lower. The testimony we now
give is the best and most reliable yet
published, and we challenge the calam-
ity editor, the subsidized American Cob
denite or the Free-trader in general to
disprove it.

Hayes-which the friends of Mrs HAYES
denounce as >currlou- and untrue
So great was the Indignation which this
story excited in the ladys family that one
of its members-Clyde ID. V. Hunt, her
brother-left Boston last night for the
avowed purpose of giving Francis Brown
Hayes thrashing in case of his refusal to
repudiate and deny the charges obviously
made in his name.
The young man found the husband at
Ascutneyville, showed him the scurrilous
article, asked him if he had instigated the
statements made therein. and in the same
breath demanded from him a proper re-
traction of the charges against the charac-
ter of Mrs. Hayes.
The husband. instead of replying, made
a dart into his bedroom, and in a moment
returned with revolver in his hand
Young Hunt at once disarmed the man,
and to use his own words, gave him a
thrashing.' The men then parted com
pany, but those who know declare that the
end of the case Hayes VS.. Hayes is not
