Charge That He Opposed the
Mckinley Bill Denied by II
One Who Knows.
The Ex-Presldent Neither Gave.
the Measure Sanction or
Disapproval. @
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
Corrects a Misleading
Statement.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 1.-THE CONNER
cial Gazette, a strong Mckinley paper
edited by Perry S. Heath, who was close
to Harrison during his administration,
says: g..
A great deal has recently appeared
respecting the attitude OF PRESIDENT
Harrison toward the Mckinley tariff at
the time of its adoption.
It is ccntended that in the capacity
of president, General Harrison opposed
the schedules as. high as those in the
Mckinley bill and that he entered pro-
test against them to those who had the
matter in charge One prominent Re-
publican newspaper has stated recently
that the Mckinley tariff
~ Defeated Harrisons Reelection
and that this fact is the cause Of Har.
rison's feeling toward Mckinley. An.
other influential Republican newspaper
in the West announced that during tho
consideration of the Mckinley bill
President Harrison summoned its
author and Speaker Reed and possibly
other party leaders and warned them
against the adoption Of such high
figures. 49,:
The Commercial Gazette is in posi-
ton to say that all such statements are
untrue and misleading. Ex-President
Harrison deserves neither censure nor
praise on account Of the Mckinley tariff
law. He took no part in drafting or
the consideration of the measure. No
feature of the law so far as those who
compiled it are aware, represented his
particular views or met with his specific
disapproval.
'.-~sr Offered No Advice.
Repeatedly President Harrison, when
asked by those drafting the bill what he
thought about it, stated that the details
should be left to those in charge of the
measure; that they were responsible to
ahe president and were most familiar
with the subject in hand. He offered
no advice.
When the bill went to the White
House for his signature the president
did not, 80 far is known, show any
displeasure with the law. If the law
was ever held responsible for the defeat
of 1899 President Harrison should stand
blameleSS

Thunderer Applauds Carlisle.

LONDON, Oct. 14.-1n an editorial The
Times says Secretary Carlisle's speech
at Boston goes to the very root of the
mischief Of currency Legislation. We
should be glad to think that his argu-
ment is likely to prevail with congress.
It is only to be hoped that as neither
political party can carry measure ad-
Yantageous to itself alone, the question
may be lifted out Of the rut OF party
politics and that measure may be
adopted acceptable to the whole country.

Did More Than He Promised.

A story is told of a Pittsburg
oil producer who was putting
down we'll, some years ago, in
"a territory that had never been
tested for oil. He was keeping
the fact a profound secret. in or
der that, in case he got a good
we'll, he might without difficulty
secure all the leases hedesired in
the vicinity. He was on the
ground himself, watching with
great interest the indications.
Everything pointed to success.
Two days before The we'll was
expected to come in' he was
called home. Anxious about the
result, he arranged with his con.
tractor to telegraph him as soon
as the drill reached the sand. He
knew. however, that secrets will
sometimes leak outofa telegraph
Office, and so he told the driller
that the sentence, Pine trees
grow tall" would mean that he
had struck oil. The driller prom
ised to DO as he was ordered.
The mingled satisfaction and
yexation of the producer may be
imagined when, two days later.
he received the following tele-
gram 'Pine trees grow tall. !"
She's squirting clean over the
derrick !"
