this difference was felt by the actual consumers
If farm products in the retail prices they pay.
To the farmers the gain was Is Ia per cent
in amount received for their products. and yet
,o tho consumers the loss was but Ia per
cont in higher prices paid for their food. ms
illustrates q fact of very wide application Tor
rho changes of duties which have caused some
ad in the wholesale prices of few other
articles have also affected retail prices OF similar
articles very little, if at all.
To the consumers of this country, moreover
the entire difference in cost OF farm prouuc's
wa more than compensated by the removal %
duties on sugar and the decline which followed
in the retail price of that important article
Tnclndine fish and coffee, which advanced
shade in retail prices and sugar and molaSses'
which declined, the cost OF all 1ood 10 con-
SINNERS actually declined .61 of l per cent. not
xitbstandng the advance of Is per cent IN
the value of farm products to the farmer.
These facts seem to THE TRIBUNE to demon
strato the correctness of its claim that the
Mckinley tariff was not only the bravest ou'
also the wisest tariff ever framed. 1t has
worderfully stimulated industry, causing hun
dreds of now establishments to start up. and
increased the demand for American labor. 1t
has helped to secure better prices to farmers
for many of their products, especially along the
Canadian border and seacoast. But while ac-
complish,ng all this, it has not prevented
reduction in the cost of food to consumers, nor
has il prevented reduction in the cost OF cloth
ins metal products, fuel and lights, and mis-
ccllancous articles.

Examination Of the detailed report submitted
BY the Senate Finance Committee proves that
the decline in retail prices. under the opera
ton Of the new tariff, has been more general in
every class OF articles except one than the
tolegraphcd abstract indicated 1t is TO be
said in the first place, that the committee
made no attempt TO determine what change, if
any. had occurred in rents, satisfactory com
palison being obviously impracticable. But this
item is included without change in the aggre-
gate. making the apparent decrease in cost of
living less than the actual decrease in prices
COMPARED If the committee had taken, as
sufficient indication Of the course of rents,
the change in prices of iron and steel, lumber
and building materials. a considerable decrease
would have been found.
In every class of articles except food some
decrease is seen, small in fuel and lights. but
larger in clothing and miscellaneous articles.
Deducting food and rents, the aggregate of
all other articles shows a decrease of 81 of
l pcr cent. Now il is wellknown fact that
prices in September, 1891, on account of the
partial failure of crops in this country the
previous year, and throughout Europe in 1891
were much higher than usual Only small
part of this increase appears in retail prices.
The makers of -four paid more for wheat, but
did not charge relatively as much more for
-four The maker of bread paid more for -four,
but did not charge relatively as much more
for bread. Similar phenomena may be traced
throughout the report showing that only an
insignificant advance in the wholesale prices OF
farm products was reflected in the retail prices
of articles Of food to consumers.
This may be definitely established by deduct
ing from articles OF food enumerated by the
committee those which are wholly or almost
wholly imported, such as tea coffee, sugar
and molasses, and also spices and fish. 1t is
then found that all other articles OF food in
creased in cost from June-August. 1889, to
September, 1891, no less than 2.24 per cent,
the proper importance of each article being
reckoned according to the method of the com
mittee. But the advance in wholesale prices
of farm products for the same period was
1928 per cent, so that only about An eighth Of

There was substantially no change yesterday
in the situation at Buffalo, except that stronger
indications n the complete collapse of the strike
were apparent. The companies have demon
'strated their ability to get along without the
help of the striking switchmen, and the latter
now have no hope save in sympathetic strikes
on the part of men employed in other branches
of the railroad service. so far the leaders Of
the later have been too sensible to act in ac-
cordance with the switchmen's desires, and there
is little likelihood of the adoption of any other
policy. The strike must, to all appearance, be
written down total failure.
The interest Of New-Jcrscy Republicans will
be largely concentrated during the next three
weeks on the convention which on September
Is will nominate their candidate for Governor
The outlook at present is encouraging. The
Democrats a'e engaged in internecne quarrels
that forebOde hopeless split over their own
nomination, and the Democratic administration
for Yeas past has brought that party into bad
odor. The duty of the Republicans is to ndfhi-
nate the strongest possible candidate and then
to make most energetic canvass This course
may not insure victory at the polls, but in no
other way whatever can there be any hope of
success.
Governor William Mckinley arrived in this
city yesterday on his way to Vermont, where he
intends to make one or two speeches before pro-
ceeding down East to Maine to engage in further
campaign work. Still later he is booked to APP
pear on the stump in Connecticut. He takes
most hopeful view of the Republican situa-
ton, and is confident, as the result of his OBJ
. servations and information, that not single
Republican State will be lost to the party this
year. So far as his official duties will permit
Governor Mckinley will take an active part in
the campaign, going wherever the National
Committee chooses to send him. He is tower
of strength, both on the political platform and
in the party councils, and whenever he speaks
no will be sure to make Republican votes.

Employees of Liverpool Cotton Brokers
Embezzle $3.50, 900.

Employees of Liverpool Cotton Brokers
Embezzle $4,000.
LONDON. July 2S.-Parry Lunt and
John Wilson, manager and cashier re-
spectively of the firm of Reynolds &
Gibson, cotton brokers, Liverpool. to-
day pleaded guilty to embezzle-
ment from the firm. Sentence was de-
ferred. The embezzlements are said to
have amounted to El50,000 and had
been carried on for long time. The
prisoners expended the money in cot
ton speculation and accounted for their
command of capital by stating that
they represented syndicate that had
been formed for the purpose of buy
ing and holding cotton to the
value of 100000. Their statements
were believed in many quarters and
the prisoners entered into enormous
speculations in cotton and stocks.
These speculatIons werc unsuccessful.
and detection of the embczzlement re-
suited. The failure to sustain the pur-
chase Of cotton caused almost q panic
in the Liverpool market at the time
of the discovery, about twenty days
ago, and several business suspensions
resulted. At .lrst il was supposed that
the embezzle H ents amounted to only
about Els, 900, but a search of the books
has since shown that the thcfts
amounted TO at least $3.50, 900. Tho
prisoners confessed their guilt from
the first and aided IN the search of the
books and accOunts.
