NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Dr. Senner has

to put immigrant inspectors, the Gus

Same old Harangue.

A perusal Of Napoleon Bonaparte Nc
Kinley's opening" speech shows that it
is the same old harangue that Mckinley
has been making at stated intervals
since the campaign of 1890. He began
to make it then in defense Of his tariff
law, and he has varied it very slightly
in every campaign since. He declares
solemnly in every reproduction Of it that
the foreign producer pays the tariff tax,
that cheapness is a hateful thing, and
that the Republican party, by giving
the country high and steadily higher
tariff, has conferred upon its inhabitants
the greatest boon ever enjoyed by civ
ilized people.
The country has put its feet upon this
speech in two elections 50 emphatically
that everybody except Mckinley real
ICES that it ID Of no further account. We
presume, however, that he will go on
making it till the close, Of the century
