McKINLEY'S WAYS AND MEANS.

The way to enrich Nation is tc
tax it the more taxation the more
wealth.
The way to impoverish Nation
is to reduce taxation; the less taxes
the more poverty.
The way to increase the profits of
labor is to increase the cost of liv-
ing.
The way to raise wages is to re-
Once their purchasing value.
The way to protect labor is to
make it the surf of monopoly.
The way to diversity industry is
to protect and promote shoddy pro-
duction.
The way to make things cheap, is
to make them dearcr by taxation.
The way to insrue better prices
for what the people produce is to
make things cheap by a prohibitory
tariff.
The way to promote commerce is
to strangle it.
The way to produce international
. trade is to prohibit it..
The way to punish foreigners for
not trading with us, or for taxing
our exports, is to lay additional
burdens on our own people. This
is reciprocity.
The way to encourage foreigners
to buy our meat, grain and cotton
is to refuse to buy anything they
may have to sell.
The way to build up our mer
chant marine is to enslave and de-
stroy commerce.
The way TO get u Carving
trade" is to hire ships at so much
mile to carry the American flag.
This helps to increase taxation, and
thereby promotes prosperity. 1t
also gratifies American pride
immensely.
The way TO get the Mexican and
Central American trade away from
the Germans is 70 do as the Ger.
mans don't do, by substituting
ships.
The way to punish England for
expressing Ireland is to put high
duties on Irish linens, and to tax
Irish Americans within an inch of
their lives.
The way to give the wool grower
better price for his wool is to
stife and destroy the wool manu-
featuring interest. (See present
wool quotations.) When you have
a goose which lays golden eggs, the
quickest way to get the eggs is to
kill the goose.
The Mckinley act creates a home
market by shutting our own coun-
try in. 1t creates foreign market
by shutting other countries out.
1t is equally good for sore eyes.
rheumatism or flatulent condition
Of the bowels. The true market for
the American people is the tailgate
OF a farm wagon. (See Harrison's
swing around speeches.)
We cannot compete with foreign
producers IN the homo -market.
Wo can compete with them in South
American market. Ergo South
America is a much better country
TO trade IN than the United States.
The manufacturer wants high
tariff because it gives him dear
labor. TIE laboring man wants a
high tariff because by abolishing it
be gets cheap sugar.
A prOhibitory tariff makes every
thIng-including labor-cheaper to
the consumer. This is the true
glory OF Mckinleyism.
Cheapness is a great evil. "a
cheap coat makes a cheap man"
Everything should be made dear.
or by taxation. This will make
dear men and women-cspccially
"omen. and the dearer women are
OF course the better.
a Prohibitory tariff increases the
iuxurics Of life. A prohibitorv
tarif aims TO put Injuries out Of
our reach. IL makes luxurics even
OF necessarics.
Free trade is an abominaliou
utterly, but IL is one Of the finest
points Of the Mckinley act that it.
gives US moro free trade than we
ever had before. (See Mckinley
spccches.)
