TRurH ABOUT PRICES.
How They Have Been Reduced Under

How They Have Been Reduced Under
ths Mckinley Tariff.
Our readers will remember how we
squelched the Mckinley prices liars
some months ago by our compilation Of
comparative prices of common necessi-
ties used by the people. We showed
that almost everything they bought was
cheaper in 1891 under the new tariff
than in 1889, before it passed . and very
much cheaper than the same things sold
for in 1857 under tariff for revenue
only. Well, since then we have noticed
that prices of manufactured goods have
continued to fall, so we sent to our thou
sands of agents in all parts Of the coun-
Try for later reports on prices. They
have all come in now, and we have con-
piled q new comparison, showing not
only that pxices were lower in October,
1891, than in October. 1890. but that
they are lower now than in 1891. II
clinches the lie on the prices liar right
down to date.
Below is presented this latest exhibit
of the retail market prices which the
great majority of the American people
have paid and do pay for what they buy.
They were gathered in every instance by
a reliable and reputable person from tho
books and daily transactions of retail
stores throughout the Union. The aver
