The Government Chemists, after having anal yzed all

fact that its qualities are, in every respect, unr1valed.

custom-house receipts show less than
half a ton was imported. And yet in the
face Of all these facts manufacturers say
that il binding Irvine be put upon the
free list they will be compelled to close
down their mills and thus throw a large
number of men out of employment.
They tell the same old, old story that
has been repeated for years, and taken
up by republican prints and public
speakers to scare the people into voting
for high protection and the republican
ticket.
1t is the same old story that was told
in 1878, when the duty on quinine was
taken off. Up to that date quinine was
dutied at $3.50 an ounce-three times it's
weight in silver-or $40 a pound. Troy
weight. There were five firms in this
country engaged in making the article.
All Of them commended that if quinine
were put upon the free list it would be
imported from Europe with the result
that our own mills would be closed,
their workmen thrown out of employ
ment and the valuable industry forever
lost to us. But congress repealed the
tax and put q~uinine on the free list.
This was fourteen years ago. Now
what has been the result? Have our
q~uinine mills been closed up, their own
ers bankrupted, and their workmen
turned adrift? Here is the answer:
Quinine is now sold at less than 30 cents
an ounce. We have over double the
number of q~uinine mills running and
making money, and, what is more, we
are actually exporting the medicine to
Europe. The history of the boot and
shoe industry in the United States shows
, even better results. Since hides were
put on the free list the industry has be,
come one of the leading mes in the
country. Yet we must expect to heal
