MORE STRENGTH FOR MAC

The glorious principle of protection to
American industries has of course done
wonders toward maintaining . high degree
of prosperity throughout the country. 1t
IL due to the beneflcent protective system
that waReworkers have always received
good pay; that none who wanted work
have ever had difficulty in finding it; that
there have been no reductions of wages, no
strikes, nor lockouts, nor labor riots, nor
anything, in short, but peace, harmony and
universal prosperity from one end of the
land to the other. Of course nearly every
body knows that the more protection our
industries receive from the government
the easier it is for everybody to live. The
more numerous and weighty the restric-
ttons placed upon production the easier it is
for labor to produce. The more we have
% pay for goods of all kinds the more
goods we can buy and enjoy. The moro
barriers there are between us and things
which we need the more easily our needs
are supplied. These are all plain PROPOSE
tons, which every protectionist under
stands and no one but crazy free
trader" will deny.
Eat 1t appears that one very useful and
important industry within the United
States has been all along overlooked by
the protective tariff bosses. We refer to
The skunk industry. 1t is true that only
one man in the whole country, a Yates
county, New FORK, farmer, is engaged in
that industry, but why should he be left
unprotected to compete with the pauper
skunk producers of foreign lands?
Until recently the New York promoter of
pclecats has had no competitor, and con-
sequently he has enjoyed monopoly of
The business, which is very profitable on
account of q steady demand in fashionable
circles for the furs of that odoriferous little
animal. Now, however, Canadian duirer
near Montreal has started in The
polecat industry with 1000 seats, to

question for every one to consider 10, shall
our ''infant industry" of skunk raising be
straneled in it's cradle? Carry the news to
Mckinley. Here is another argument in
support Of his nomination for president by
the party of protection. With the situa-
ton in the skunk market as above
described, no other man could
80 appropriately carry aloft the
protection banner and lead the devotees of
legislative restriction in the onslaught

The Ohio financial idea as illustrated in
the platform adopted by the last Republi-

ears of the men responsible for it should
be afiame, but by far the neatest eize.up of
them all is the following from the Toledo
