A FALSE CLAIM EXPOSED.

The New York Press is continuing it's good work in the way of exposing the false claims of the free trade papers as to prosperity due to the oper- ation of the German tariff bill. The democratic papers will probably reply to its unanswerable figures by shouts of calamity howling," but that is not the purpose of the Press or any of the republican papers. Nobody rejoices over the material prosperity of the country more than do the republican editors, and the purpose is, not to dis credit the prosperity, but toget at the truth.
 Early in the last month one of the free trade papers, whose connection with foreign manufacturing interests is well known, printed what is de- scribed as joyous" article concern ing the continually rising flood of prosperity" which sounded the deathknell of protection" and in sup port of it's assertions that period of plenty, under the operations of 2 low tariff, had taken the place of the famine cause by the Mckinley tariff,
