STILL wRIGGLING.
The REGISTER has learned from the IN
tciigencrr that there Is a difference between
the fiscal year Of the Treasury Department
ana eleven months OF calendar year, but
nothing that has appeared in the RraiSrRR
gives Us readers TO know that IL has mace
this discovery. Instead OF being fair 70
It's readers and quoting what tho Infcligcn-
Ger said, IL goes webbing through space in
an effort TO cloud and 10 shift the issue

1t will strike most people that our
nelghoor is trying to "cloud and
shift the ISSUE" and in the effort is
webbing up hill and down dale and all
around the subject.
The Intcyigcnccr made the statement
that McKinleyism had given ms the
largest amount OF imports in our his
tory, basing the claim on the reports OF
the Treasury Department up 10 June
30, 1893, the end OF that fiscal year.
10 claimed that this indicated McKin-
leyism. Will our nelghbor say that II
made any other, or any additional, claim,
or that the REGIsrER did not present this
claim, together with the facts on,whIch
it was based, clearly and fairly, or that
the simple omission to state that the
fiscal year OF the Treasury ended June
30, rs everyone knew, had a particle to
do with the matter under discussion?
The truth is, tho HtctligCnccr ne
elected to examine, or else deliberate
ly ignored, the latest report OF the
Treasury department, which is correct
ed up TO January ., 1894. This report
compares imports for eleven months of
1893 with the imports for eleven months
OF 1892, and shows that McEinleyism
reduced them about $50, 900, 600 the pas.
year. The Intcitigcnccr simply was not
uD to date and was picked up in mis-
representation of the situation. That is
what ais our esteemed neighbor.
But, by the way, why does it desire
to prove that McKln!eylsm has in
creased imports? Isn't that the very
thing which MCKINLEY and all good
and true Republican protectionists
claim should not DO done? Isn't that
the very basis Of their attack on Tariff
Reform?
The Httcuigcnccr's arguments and
theories should get together.
NoNE OF the REGIsrER's rivals can
compete with it in the character and
quantity of its news, especially its
special telegraphic service and its local
department Yesterdays REGIsrrE
contained special kilograms from every
important news centre Of the State,
most OF them exclusive, covering well
and thoroughly all the nows OF tho
state. In fact tho REGIsrEE's special
service is fully twice as large Us that OF
any competitor and is practically with
out competition. If you don's believe
this compare papers for week. As an
