Tho Wicked Mckinley Bill.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
l. is not without much genuine pain
that We direct the attention OF the very
learned free-trade school 10 the pathetic
fact that. under the operations of the I'M
moral Mckinley law. tie bobbin trust
has failed. This concern. or those
which composed il. existed under various
tariffs, but it was not until the Infamous
Mckinley robbery" had been in operation
for over a year that il rose TO that dazzling
height of prosperity where there was moth
ing TO do but fan. The facts
new readers. but we venture 10
hope that they will not be passed by
lightly. senator Mills should take them
as a text for his maiden speech in the Sem
ate. and Mr.. McMillIn might air them in
the House. They arc quite too pregnant
with meaning. for free-traders. 10 DO
epurned with the usual free-trade sheer.
