American voters cannot be deceived in this
canvass by false cries Two years ago Demo-
cratic claptrap about high prices was effective
because the Mckinley Act had not been in
| operation long enough TO produce its normal
| effects. IL was canvass in which croakc,s
and liars were enabled to confuse and mislcad
tho judgment of many voters. What was then
done successfully cannot be repeated this year.
americans know that the Mckinley Act has
not raised the prices of any of the ncccs >ares
of life Sugar and cotton goods are markedly
lower in price; woollens arc as cheap as they
were: and the schedule Of prices for articles
in common use may he critically examined from
top to bottom without the production Of any
positive evidence Of an increase of prices The
Mckinley Act has not added in any way to the
cost of living. From the point of view of tho
consumer Republican tariff legislation has di.
minishcd rather than increased the burdens of
indirect taxation.
There is another false cry which cannot be
raised by Democratic agitaioIs against Pro-
lection. They have contendcd in ono canvass
after another that Republican tariff makers. by
surrounding the scaboaids with "Chinese
walls" were shutting out American producers
and manufacturers from the markets OF the
world. They have pointed to free raw materials.

by which American manufacturers would he

to increase vastly the volume of the Nations
foreign commerce. These arguments cannot
be renewed with any degree of plau,ibility this
year. The English Prime Minister, speaking
for Nation which has the largest possible OK
periencc under Free Trade has confessed that
the high-tarif countries have superior adyau-
tages in making commercial treaties, and are
pursuing the more busincsslille pclicy. While
England under Free Trade has no concessions
to offer for less-restiictcd foreign commerce
the United states has been enabled TO obtain
preferential schedules for it, expo IT'S both 10
Southern countries and to GERMANY. France

the last Republican Congress armed the Adj
minlstlation with power tn negotiate treaties
by which an enormous expansion Of the export
trade has been rendered not only possible but
inevitable Every fresh table of Recproc,y
statistics demonstrates anew the efficiency of
the Mckinley Act as lever for opening for
eign markets. Without surrendorng the home
market to foreigners or dcpriving our own
people of employment Republican legislation
is adding enormously to the volume Of tho

The Importance of the work to be done by
the Republican clubs in the campaign which
is now beginning cannot be ovcrestimatcd. This
work will be well planned and carefully laid
out as is made evident by the completion of
the arrangements for holding the fifth annual
convention of the Republican League of the
State at Rochester on the 2Sth and Goth of this
month. The convention will take place in the
hall where the Republican State Convention
was held last September In connection with
the club gathering there will be a mass-meet-
ing, at which one of the spe'kers will be Gov
ernor Mckinney. The convention fortnight
hence will prepare the clubs in all parts of the
State for a wide awake, aggressive campaign
during the following four months.

The years record of destruction of life and

one. Chicago and some other towns in Illinois
were visited on Monday by severe storms and
torpadoes, and large amount of damage was
done. In Chicago seven or more persons were
killed. and Galesburg in particular suffered
severely. Disasters of this kind have not been
confined to any particular section of the coun-
try. Man has subdued Nature in many re-
spects, but effective means of warding off de-
struction from winds and rains remain to be
