These manufacturers sneIled Danger IL
the distance ard Anticipated Republican
opposition 20 their tariff bills IN the
event Of the Republicans controlling
Congress and the executive after the
4.h Of March. 1857.
60 they made up their minds that they
needed n2n In the White House who
would exert the whole power Of his
administration TO pasg such a tariff bin
az they demanded. They wanted q
protsctionist Of the Pennsylvania sehool
rather than Of the New England school.
The New England fellows are looked
upon by the Pennsylvanians as being
naoderates In the school Of protection,
who could not be relied upon 10 consent
70 the erection Of tariff walls around
the country, If the people entrusted the
Republicans with fall control Of the
Government So the manufacturers
singled out Mckinley az their man. He
Is Ct the Pennsylvania school. In con
structing the famous tariff bill that bore
his name he had but one theory, and
that Wac TO give 20 the manufacturers
such duties az they demanded.
The manufacturers saw that President
Cleveland was able 20 force the repeal
Of the Sherman act through reluctant
Senate. Could not, they argued, a
president like Mckinley crack the party
lash and force tariff bill satisfactory
70 the manufacturers through reluct
ant or doubling CongTessf This is the
reason why the manufacturers have
rallied around Mckinley. The popu-
larity Of Mckinley Is all organized
there Is none Of it spontaneous. The
Mckinley organizers, with the money
Of the manufacturers in their pockets,
began work three years ago, interviewed
every chairman Of Republican County
Committee In the United States and
laid wires for the election Of Mckinley
delegates TO this year National Con
vention. The Mckinley boom is the
result Of this thorough organization,
with the treasures Of the tariff barOns
behind the organizers. The manu-
facturers want no half hearted pro-
tectiOnists In the White House.
