Governor Mckinley Gives Some Iiustra-
lions on tho Tariff.
Governor Mckinley, in a recent
speech at Cincinnati, gave the follow
Ing Incident:
1.-THE other day when 1 was speaking
In Northern Ohio an old merchant
brought his books to my hotel. He had
been q merchant from '4S to 80. !
wish everybody to see these old books
They tell the truth. They tell the cost
Of living then; they tell. the prices of
labor then, and copied from that old
book-One of them-an entry dated
June 80, 1858. and 1t was an account
between the merchant of the village
and the carpenter Of the village.
1.-THE carpenter was working for the
merchant, and on June 80. 1858, the
merchant credited him on his day book
with one days work at $3.50 a day, and
on the same day the carpenter bought
the following four items, which are
charged on the merchants book, with
the price at that time, and these were
the items: Nine yards Of calico ut 12i,
cents a yard, $1.13; nine yards Of lawn
ut 12l5 cents, $1.13; eight pounds Of cof-
fee sugar at 12h cents a pound, 81; AMI
II pounds of cut nails at Z cents q
pounds "a cents. The total Of these
four items In 1858 was $4.10 The
wages received by the carpenter was
$3.50 day. He gave to the merchant
his one days work, bought these four
Items and owed the merchant $500 In
cash.
Now let's take the carpenter OF 1902.
The pay Of the carpenter In 1892 was
from $3.50 to $2.70 q day in Ohio. |
take the lowest, $3.50. Now charge him
with the same four items that were
charged the carpenter In SO, with the
price prevailing last year, and let us
see the state of the account: One days
labor, $3.50 day; nine yards Of calico
In '92, &c a yard, 45c; nine yards of
lawn. s cents yard, u cents; eight
pounds Of coffee sugar at @ cents n
pound, 4S cents; land cents am tod
Is too high, but call 1t 0 cents; II
pounds Of cut nails at 3 cents pound,
SO cents. The total of these four items
In '92 is S2.01. The carpenter In 1892
gave his one days work to the mer.
chant, bought these 4 items, paid for
them. and out of that days work had
40 cents In cash in his pocketbOok.
1.-THE carpenter In 1858 gave the same
number Of hours. the same skill and the
same toll; bought the some four items.
and owed the merchant $3.50 In cash,
or nearly two days additional labor

The profcsscd love Of the Populists
for silver is absurd, In view of the fact
that II they were able 10 carry out
their scheme of buying up all the rail.
roads in the country and paying for
them in paper money, they would drive
every dollar of silver and gold out of
circulation and close up every mine In
the United States. When all use for
silver Is gone there is no further need
of producing it. To suspend the use
OF gold and silver as money is TO par

the logical outcome OF the success of
the Omaha platform in this state rs
