His answer was: 1--WE want the Amer
lean market. 1t is the greatest market
IN the world and during the time the
Mckinley bill was law our manufac-
turers were quite paralyzed."
There was exported from Bradford
during the last nine months of the ex-
istence OF the Mckinley law A,47S,OOO
worth OF goods. This was from January
l; 1904, to September 80, 1904. During
year from January /, 1895, TO Septem-
Der 80, 1881, under the Wilson bill,
the exports from Bradford amounted to
SPLIT. 900. Five times as much under
the Wilson bill as under the Mckinley
bill. The total exports for the year 1893
from Bradford amounted to $21, $4,000.
These exports include thirty-seven items,
but consist chiefly of card clothing, cot
ton. goods. iron and steel, machinery,
hosiery, stuffed goods, worsted goods,
yarns, silks, etc.

sands of people in England who do not
receive one-half this $3.50. We paw our

than double the wages paid in England,
where railroad fare is higher and the
coal cheaper than in America.
