Since the party han no use for the
Mckinley bill It has no use for Bill Nc
kinley. is the argument There is sorae
little .cosency In tim line Of reasoning,
And unauestionably 1t is true that there
are dangers to the republican party in
tariff legislation. No doubt there will
be an increase Of importatiens In any
event, and q greater increase II an ex-
tems advance In the tsriff, rates is
seen to be imminent than otherwise.
But as against Mckinley the argu-
ment ID not strong. The party must
promise q great advance in rates-prac-
ueally a restoration Of the Mckinley
bill-and nominate q man who Is
known to favor such advance or 1t will
not get the kind Of support that It must
have in order to succeed. II must
plunge into the midst 81 the dangers

have put up the Mckinley fund and

discovery viii be made that the present
