nen,a MoKinlerlsm,s Best Year.

HHltg mchluIByISul'o DCoS
We wish to call the attention OF
orr Republican friends who are
now roaring and bowling for re-
storation of the Mckinley tariff, to
the fact shown by the latest Treas
ury statistics, that the exports OF
American manufactures for the
nine months ending with March
last reached the unprecedented to-
tai of $I68, 1877 1926, which is five
millions more than the figures for
the whole twelve months of 1892,
when Mckinley reciprocity was in
full blast.
In March alone the value OF do
mestic manufactures exported was
-sl9l25, 1884, which is Mt the rate OF
over 1928, 100000 per annum. Last
year they had reached $l93,595,-
743. or 23.14 per cent. of our total
exports, against $158,O23,119, or
1902 per cent, in 1898, while the
ratio for March last was 25.85 per
cent. of the total exports, and the
figures are still advancing.
AS the independent Philadel-
phia Times says, this can mean
nothing else than that, with the re-
duction of taxes upon their moteri-
al. and with the incentive to i'm
proved processes under competi-
ton, our manufactures are extend
ing their markets in way never
possible before. With free coin
age of silver and freedom from
disturbing changes the products OF
American industry would soon
lead the world.
