McKINLEYIsMs RECORD.

1t would not be surprising if Will
liam Mckinley were made heartily
ashamed of the title Advance
Agent of Prosperity" which has
been given him by his boomers and
indiscreet admirers. Such a title
naturally provokes investigation
and arouses a desire to know upon
what basis such a claim rests. In
short, people are apt to inquire
whether Mckinley has really been
the herald of good tidings Har-
per's Weekly, among others, has
been prylng into the records, and
as a result dubs him the Advance
Agent of Disaster and then pro-
ceeds to demonstrate the fitness of
the same.
For instance, the Mckinley bill
went into operation in the fiscal
year of 1891 and was in force until
the fiscal year of 1894. The rate of
duties was by that act advanced
from A to 80 per cent, and under
it the value of foreign commerce
fell from 1,647, ,OOO,0 900 in 1890 to
81, ,547, 900, 900 in 1894, clear loss
of $1OO,OOO,OOO. Importations fell
off $135, 100000, thus seriously af-
fecting the customs receipts, which
dropped from 1929, ,OOO,OO in 1890
to $l31, 900, 900 in 1894.
There is no evading the issue
raised by these figures. They tell
the plain story of McKinleyism,
and they also show, perhaps, the
most potent cause of the hard times
which have afflicted this country.
OF course, the republicans are full
of Ingenuity and sophistry, and they
contend that these revenue results
are due not to any actual legisla-
tion upon the statute books, but to
Widespread fear on the part of
the people that there would be
some change in the tariff. In other
words, the people of the United
States, after having voted over
whelmingly in 1890 and in 1892 for
a revision of the tariff, then became
utterly panic-stricken at what they
had done, and the financial cata-
clysm was the result. Now, to ask
any sane man to believe this is at
once to insult his intelligence and
question his sanity.
1t stands proven that the deca-
dence of foreign trade and the fall
ing off in revenue we're due to
McKinleylsm, and now the question
may well arise whether the Ohio
man is a genuine advance agent OF
prosperity, or whether the claim
put forth for him is a mere leather
and prunella The record of Nc
Kinleyism ought especially to be
studied by the workingmen of the
United States, the farmers and all
members of the industrial class,
They will find that Mckinley is the
synonym for anything but pros
perity; that he means high prices
for the necessaries of life and lower
wages for the artisans; that he
signifies reduced revenues and a
deficit for surplus. To go back
to Mckinley would be like rushing
back into the jaws of death, from
which we have just escaped. - Mem

district was the unit. as in Republican
conventions. The suggestion was accent

parenily strong influence upon the con-
testanfs. Out of this fact a ran1or grew

GOLD MEN CAUCUS.


Chicago. July 3 - The gold standard
delegates gathered rather slowly this
evening for their second meeting. The
meeting was called 10 order by Mr.. Whit
ney and Senator Gray assumed the chair.
He spoke briefly but encouragingly OK
the work done. assuring his hearers that
there had been one point galned-that OF
preventing the abrogation OF the two
thirds rule.
William c. Whitney followed Senator
Gray and was greeted with applause Mr..
whitney spoke briefly on the situation,
and called attention to the contested seats
and TO the fact that 1t was alleged that
the silver men were going 20 throw ont
all delegates who did not agree with them.
This led TO a general explanation of the
contested seats In Indiana, Ohio and Ne
braska but particular attention was callet
TO Michigan. All the cases as explained
by men from the states interested were Ia
favor OF the gold delegates.
The explanation OF the Michigan case
and the alleged determination OF the silver
men TO throw out the gold delegates on
general principles alone, ard as a matter
OF pretended irregularity. caused a great
deal Of Indignation among the men IN the
conference. The proposed course was de-
ciared 70 he revolutionary ani IL carried
out would justify the gold men IN any step
they might deem advisable. II was said
the gold men could not sumhlt 10 any such
hlgh-haaded course. As no such action
can be taken by the silver men until the
credentials committee acts. no plan was
proposed tonight
Il was decided to he unnecessary TO hold
a conference tomorrow night. but another
conference will he held on Tuesday night
after the convention has held one session.
