GEN. NELSON'S DELusIoN.

Among the numerous republicans who
have been turned loose on the country is
Gen. Tenn Nelson. and the Columbus Re
publican gives the following startling in
formation concerning his speech at that
place:
Unlike the speakers who have preceded
him here ne did not go back six centuries
to befuddle the minds of his audience.
but began with Lincoln and briefly
touched all important points and soon
reached the tariff, the question which is
just now agitating the public mind. He
showed that Hancock and Cleveland knew
nothing about the tariff when they were
first candidates and said 50. He described
the origin Of the word tariff and then pro-
ceeded u show that the breakfast table
OF every man in this land was free from
tariff taxation under the Mckinley law
and that as it now stood it was far
from il.
We will venture the assertion that even

nothing about the tariff when they were
first candidates. they knew more than

one at any time under the Mckinley law
it must have been on fast days, for no
man could eat under that law without
paying a tax. VIII Mr.. Nelson kindly
take a look at a breakfast table? To be-
gin with. are the table and the chairs,
each with a Mckinley tax Of 80 per cent.
Next in order is the tablecloth with
Mckinley tax Of "a per cent. Then come
the knives and forks with Mckinley tax
Of Al per cent. excepting the carving
knife and fork, which were taxed IA per
cent. The plates. cups and saucers paid
a Mckinley tax of So per cent, and all
the glassware a tax Of so per cent.
Proceeding TO the eatables we find on
the breakfast table one thing that was
not taxed. and that was coffee, and IL is

not taxed now. The sugar for the coffee
was taxed half a cent a pound solely for
the benefit Of the sugar trust. and what
ever may be the reason the trust exacted
a greater price for it under the Mckinley
law than it does now. If there was any
meat on the breakfast table it was taxed
thus: bacon &c per cent, fresh beef 2S per
cent, mutton II per cent. fresh pork "a
per cent. If the open-faced Goldfish
adorned the board it was taxed 10 per
cent. There was. os course. some kind Of
bread. and wheat -four was taxed % per
cent. Butter was taxed 3S per cent. Po-
tatoes are usually on the breakfast table.
and they were taxed 50 per cent. Eggs
are not uncommon; they were taxed Al
per cent. In the way of vegetables we
might have found onions, 81 per cent, or
beans. 40 per cent. Possibly there would
be rice, 112 per cent, or honey, 45 per
cent, or dried apples. So per cent. And
there might have been some cheese, taxed
43 per cent. And for seasoning there was
salt, taxed u cents per hundred pounds,
and vinegar. taxed p per cent. and pep
per. taxed So per cent.

This. too. is an import that depends
chiefly on the failure or success Of our
crop. The effect of the Mckinley tariff
in 1891 was to make hundreds of farm
ers. who were already losers by the par
tial failure of the potato crop, pay an ex-
ira price for seed potatoes.
But under ordinary circumstances the
imports Of these articles from Canada
have less effect on the farmers of the
United States than the mosquito bites
they receive The hay crop Of the United
States in 1893 amounted to $50, So, s72
In comparison to that what does the total
import from Canada amount to? 1t is
less than one-sixth of 1 per cent. of our
home product, and whether it increases
or decreases three or four hundred thou
sand dollars is wholly immaterial to the
welfare Of American farmers. So with
potatoes. Our domestic potato crop in
1898 amounted to sos SCI sol. The ordi-
nary importation is from 100000 to $780,
600, which is about one-fifth of 1 per
cent. of the home product. The great
importation Of 1891, under the Mckinley
law, is less than per cent. of the home
product, and it was never equaled but
once. in 1882. The simple truth is that
talk about competition OF Canada with
the United States in agricultural pro-
ducts is mere balderdash.

The checklist thing that has been said

people were turned out to idleness we had

ties. claimed that the panic began mercy
because Mr.. Cleveland was in office. Do
the republicans propose to remove him?
Do the people expect to restore McKfn-
leyism before March 4, 1897? The panic
began and spent its force under the Nc
Kinley law. As soon as the Mckinley
law was repealed business began to re-
vive with unprecedented activity. And
the repeal of the Mckinley law caused

CANADA AND srKINLEYIsM.

Our Washington correspondent on Mon
day morning exposed a number of mis-
statements in the speech OF Mr.. Mckinley
at this place as to the effects Of the Nc
Kinley law on imports from Canada in
the line Of agricultural products. 1t so
happens that on a resolution offered by
Senator Higgins, and adopted by the SEN
ate, the secretary Of the treasury made
a special report on the commercial rela-
tons of Canada and the United States,
under date of May 26, 1894. and this re-
port shows that Mr.. Mckinley misrepre-
scented the figures all the way through
For example. he stated that our imports
Of wool from Canada in 1890 were $685.
600 and in 1892 they were cut down to
$2OO.135.
