THE CANTON EXCURSIONS

How the projected picnic Of California
McKinleyites to Canton is progressing,
we have not heard lately, but it is to be
hoped that the eastern campaign man.
ayers are not throwing any obstacles in
the way of the pleasant pilgrimage OF
course the journey is of somewhat
greater distance than the majority of the
free trips to McKinley's home which
have provided such an edifying specta-
Gle in this campaign, but Mr.. Hanna
ought not to be too penurious with his
California friends, although the defeat
in this state of his man is practically
foregone conclusion.
How the expense of this particular pic
mic is to be met has not yet been made
public, but if California Republicans
wish to pay their respects to Major Nc
Kinley they should certainly pay their
expenses also. That this has not been
the case in most of these expeditions is
notorious. One would have thought
that the strangely named Commercial
Mems Democratic Mckinley club"
would have been too proud to accept
such conditions as the following circu-
lar implies:
Commercial Mems Democratic Nc
Kinley club. Harry H. Levy, secretary,
S43 Marshfleld avenue, Chicago, Septem-
Der 3, 1S96.-The Commercial Mems
Democratic Mckinley club are going in
a body to Canton, o.. to pay their re-
spects to Hon. William Mckinley. We
will leave Chicago Friday evening. Sep
tember II. at 8 o'clock, returning from
Canton September -, and arriving in
Chicago Sunday morning.
Transportation and sleeping apart
ments will be furnished you without
cost.
We are anxious that every member
of the club should participate, as 1t Is
essential to the interests of the club to
make as good q showing as possible.
If you desire to accompany US on
this trip. please sign the enclosed postal
and return to the secretary not later
than Tuesday, September 8. Respect
fully.
CUsTAvE HoFFsTADT, President.
HARRY H. LEVY. Secretary
Truly very tempting offer and one
that was evidently too erticing for
considerable number OF the Democratic
McKinleyites." If such ~. offer, is. made
to California worshipers of William-of
the-Tariff, no doubt large numbers will
succumb. An excursion to the east at
this time of the year would certainly be
pleasant, and its pleasure would not be
diminished II it is to cost nothing. The
picnic will also provide in after years
an historical reminiscence that will be
treasured with care, how we visited in
Canton, Ohio, one Major Mckinley.
whose name was associated with some
disastrous legislation in the early nine
ties and who was so badly beaten in '96
when Bryan was elected president and
restored the money of the Constitution.
If you get an invitation to Canton at
Hanna's expense, put your pride in
your pocket and go and shake Major
Mckinley by the hand.

the capitalists in that industry might

objected to being robbed for the ben

One more extract from the silver

six months ago will suffice to show what
kind Of sound money" advocate our
distinguished visitor is:
is 1t not folly to suppose that the
capitalists of England-and they are the
capitalists of the world-will be easily
persuaded to agree or consent to bi-
metallism? Why should they? How is
1t to their interest to do so, while we
consent to make it to their advantage
to refuse? They have doubled the val
tie of their credits by demonetizing sill
yer, and thus In effect doubled the in
terest received by them. The United
States blundered into that trap, and
within year beggared million Of her
citizens. and If we adhere to the blum
der Will beggar five millions more, aud
double the burden of every debtor and
burden-bearer in the land. If it be said
the United States cannot act alone, the
answer is. conditions are such that she
must give notice that she will act with
England il the latter consents; other
wise she will act alone
Owe are the greatest debtor nation
on earth. Hence it may be we must
start alone, If at all. and creditor ma
tions will speedily join us for their own
protection in re-establishing bimetal-
lism. If necessary, and the United
States does not start alone gold mono-
metalists will be SO firmly entrenched
behind the rGmparts of strength and
power, and the mass of the people be
so helpless, that bimetallicm will be
postponed q generation, II not forever"

upon that article in order that the
price of the article may be so much in
creased that our people can afford to
produce it. You mean that the man
who buys that article shall pay into
the public treasury the tariff upon the
article, and you expect that this, to-
gether with the price, will be sufficient
to protect somebody else.
There is a question, Mr.. Chairman,
when you come to consider the details
of revenue tariff, as to just how it
ought to be laid. l believe, and | am
ready to stand by it anywhere, that a
protective tariff levied not to raise
revenue, but to protect some particular
industry, is wrong in principle and
vicious in practice"
Mr.. Perkins: "Are you to be under
stood as opposed to state or national
protection to be extended to the beet
sugar Industry"
Mr.. Bryan: Il am most assuredly.
Mr.. McKenna: 'Doyou really believe
that the protective policy is similar>to
the pickpocbet's policy of putting n
mans hand into another mans pocket
and extracting money from it?"
Mr.. Bryan: Eyes. that is my belief.
Il care not, for the sake of the
argument, which position is true. One
of three conditions must exist at this
time. We have imposed tariff on wool;
we may have given compensatory
duty, which is equivalent to that tariff,
upon wool in all in all its manufactured
forms. The manufacturer of wool
must, if he buys foreign wool, pay this
duty. Now, if the farmer gets no in
creased price for his wool because of
protection. and the manufacturer deals
honestly with the people and does not
charge them anything extra, then the
removal of this duty will still bring re-
lief to the consumers of wooden goods
by reducing the price of imported wool
without affecting the price of the farm
ers homegrown wool. This is the first
condition which may exist"
Later in the debate in answer to a
question Mr.. Bryan said: ''We are
only beginning an attack which will
be continued as long as there is any
thing to remedy"
He is still of the same opinion. Is
that what the farmers and manufac-
turers of Michigan want?

This is an increase that has espe-
cially affected the farmers of eastern
Michigan, who find good portion of
their markets in Detroit.
In beans, vegetables and small fruits
Canadian competition is even sharper
than it is in the articles mentioned,
and this especially hits the gardeners
in Wayne, Macomb, Washtenaw and
Oakland counties, who ship or drive to
Detroit for a market. The value of
fruit alone imported through the De-
troit custom house during the past
fiscal year was $74,s51.
1t is at time like the present that
the evils of the ad valorem system of
levying duties appears. Under the
Mckinley law there was duty of %
cents a bushel on apples. Under the
Wilson law the duty is 90 per cent
At the present price of this fruit this
amounts to no more than four cents a
bushel, so that now Canadian apples
come in practically free to help flood n
market already glutted.
