M'kINLEY GOING The ROUNDS

Coy. Mckinley, 1t is announced, will

coast after he has finished at the south.
This is taken to mean that he did not

the republican party should declare

There was inherent improbability In
the report that credited such an utter
ance to Mckinley. He Is not given to
positive utterances except on the
beauties Of high tariff. On the cur
rency question he has always been Q
..wabbler. with leaning towards
unsoundness. He voted for and lauded
upon the stump the Sherman silver
purchase act, the most disastrous cur
reney measure in It's results that con-

Gov. McKinley's chances Tor the

doubtedly improved by the tidalwave
success Of his party In the elections Of
| last year. But he will not be nonai-
| mated unless the republicans see their
way clear to hopeful campaign Ia
favor of ripping up the tariff and IN
creasing the taxes. The chances are
that the operations Of the new law
and the improved condition of manu-
features and business next year will
render this sort Of campaign toe
Quixotic for adoption. But to-day the
Ohio governor could probably com

q Several increases of wages some Of
them affecting large groups Of employees
have been reported In the last few
days. The most important of these
advances are those which have been
made In the coke district of Western
Pennsylvania and In two prominent
wooIen mills. The list is as follows:
III G. Friek d Co. the leading producers Of
coke In the western Pennsylvania district
from which the iron manufacturers OF the
Pittsburgh and eastern Chic districts are
supplied. an increase Of fifteen per cent; fol-
lowed by an increase of sixteen per cent for
the employees OF Frick q Co 3 foremost COM
petitor. These changes practically cause g
similar increase throughout the district, and
affect the earnings of thousands OF men ern-
ployed there.

woolens at three places In New Hampshire; m

made in 1S94-the causes of which they
have industriously and persistently
misrepresented- could not be followed
by increases so long as the new tariti
should stand. There has been no In

will affect the market.
