Higher taxes on imports will make

With more protection against for

Lies will be able to charge higher

The manufacturers who have put up

When the Mckinley tariff is restored

American industries. How will 1T help
you?
McKinleyism was thoroughly tested
from September, 1890, to August, 1894.
During half of that period the country
suffered from the worst panic in its
history; trade and industry we're at
stapdstill, factories and mills were
closed. and millions Of workers and
farmers brought almost to ruin. IL Is
fair to assume that the effect of pro-
lection in the future will be the same
as in the past. If so, how will 1t help
you?

MEXICO INTERSTATE TAXATION.

moment of the most rabid sort OF Me-

AS an exponent of high tariff policy
which imposes heavy taxes on goods
brought into this country from Canada

dilated on the beneficial effects OF
taxing trade, and has insisted that
this country's prosperity depends on
the amount of taxes levied on CON-
MERGE between the United States and
other nations. Yet, while favoring
system of taxes on international trade,
which might just as logically be APP
piled to interstate commerce. tine
Times Herald argues directly against
its own trade restriction theories In
commenting on the decision oil the
Mexican government to abolish all
taxes on trade between the different
Mexican states. This is what the CHIEF
McKinleyite organ has to say in favor
of freer trade: :.
after IS years of promise the poii-
ticians of Mexico declare they will at
last fulfill the assurance to the thrifty
portion of the people that interstate
customs duties shall be abolished.
"Mexico Is composed of % states,
two territories and a federal district.
Each state has hitherto taxed imports
, from its neighbor as Paris taxes the
produce of the neighboring country

The interstate taxation OF Mexico has
