Election, Tuesday, November s.
What Mr.. wilson Has Done.

The Herald asks what Mr.. Wilson
has done to benefit the people of the
Second Congressional district. but says
it does not expect civil answer. The
World will disappoint the Herald by
informing it that Mr.. Wilson was the
chief factor in getting a tariff bill pass
ed which will save the people of this
country $I63 900. 900 Of their hard
earnings in the price of the necessi-
ties of life. and the people of the sec
ond district will reap their proportion
ate benefit therefrom World.
The above is quite refreshing, es-
pecially that Si63. 900, 900.
Now let us see how it is. Some
days since a friend favored US with
huge poster, headed with some Of
Grover Cleveland's platitudes about
economy, and there we have per cent
of reduction by Democratic tariff bill
of materials entering into manufac-
lures from the Mckinley bill rates.
And then it starts off With Labor
rises in the morning under the new
Democratic tariff with reduction OF
taxes on his flannel shirt, reduced 70 v
per cent; his trousers reduced 75H per
cent; his vest reduced 654 per cent;
his coat reduced TAX per cent; he
draws on his overcoat reduced rs per
cent, and puts on his hat reduced
II $40 per cent.
From this we presume Messrs
Thompson & Tabler, clothiers, pro-
prietors of the World, are prepared to
sell those elegant $40 suits for 81, SIP
suits for S., $40 overcoats for So, so,
and 81 hats for so cents. If these re-
auctions are true and the poster to
which the World refers saws they have
been made, the articles enumerated
should be bought at the prices we give
Just try them once and see what they
have to say as business men,
But that is not ALL His wife
wears a wooden dress reduced Is per
cent; hat reduced 70 per cent; wool
stockings reduced 744 per cent; high
heel shoes reduced 20 per cent; and
puts on her WOODEN shawl reduced 76 4

ring, but beats the prices given i'll his
supplement in your Herald by long
shot. Everything he offers should go
for at least one-half the prices quoted
if the figures given by this remarka-
be production are true.
Other articles too numerous to men
ton are given, including "coal, reduc-
ed 46H per cent Possibly our free
trade friends, Sencindiver, Shaffer &
Stewart. are prepared to sell you coal
at fraction over one-half the prices
charged last year, but we think not.
The best is reserved to the last. 1t
will be remembered we quoted Senator
| Voorhees, some weeks since as saying
that lumber had been reduced 100 per
cent. We are here told that "he reads
that under tariff reform, lumber, bind
ing Irvine, grain bags, cotton ties, cot
ton bagging, copper, salt, wool, agri-
cultural implements, ARE FREE.
Yes, "he" "reads about all Of these
things but when it comes to buying,
if che" attempts to carry away any OF
themthey still command a good stiff
price.
Singular enough nothing is said
about sugar or the ability to secure
work at any price, to say nothing of
living wages, with which to obtain
money to secure these wonderful bar
gains.

man who boosted that goods were SO
cheap in Ireland When asked why
he did not remain there and buy them
