Philadelphia Record.
It is asserted by the Mckinley organs
that, as a result of the tariff, carpets were
never before so low in price in this coun-
try. Yet, notwithstanding this alleged
cheapness, scarcely a yard of carpet can
be exported, while considerable guam
tity of foreign carpet continues to come
in over the tariff wall During the last
year carpet wool TO the amount of nearly
100, 600, 100 pounds was imported into
the United States, and upon this raw ma
terial the American manufacturers paid
50, 500, 600 in duties How is it posi-
BILE TO reconcile these phenomena in trade
with the alleged decline in the cost Of
carpets to American consumersg Have
the manufacturers been obliged to con-
tent themselves with less profits by rea-
son of the increased duties on carpet
wool in the Mckinley tariff, or were they
in receipt of excessive profits before its
enactment? Possibly the increasing use
of shoddy, hair. cotton and other adulter-
ants in the manufacture of carpets may
serve to account partially for tn e decline
in their cost

contrary great disgust for trial by

Second, the Force bill
Third, Republican extravaganza.
These the Democrats mean to press

tariff is a gigantic job Forced tribute
TO the tune of thousand millions a year
is wrung from the people to enrich a
favored class. Everybody is fleeced-the
farmer, the doctor the lawyer. the
laboier-in order that the Carnegies NAV
pile mp fabulous wealth. The system is
rotten to the core, and it will have TO
go. The Force bill is a scheme to cen
tralize all power in a self perpetuating
election machine. If it is enacted. moth
ing short offs revolution can set il aside.
It will raise anarchy in the South and
ruin in the North. The Republicans are
committed TO il, and. If they elect their
ticket we shall have a new era Of recon.
struction more terrible than the old. It
must not be. The people North and
South must unite TO see it. The Repub-
leans found an overlooking treasury.
They proceeded at once to loot it. If
they are continued in power they will
squander all the money of the people and

credit. Down with the robber tariff
