The "Home Marketn Bunco.

Mr.. Mckinley, in his speech of &C.
ceptance, promised the farmers that
that they shall again have the pros
perity of q ''home market" if they
viii once again vote to "protect" the
mills.
We have an object lesson in this
close ct hand. New Jersey had for
thirty years the full benefit Of "home
market" prosperity. It is but the
kitchen garden for the great manufac.
turing cities of New York, Brooklyn,
Jersey City, Newark, Trenton and
Philadelphia. It is the agricultural
heart Of the manufacturing centre Of
the Union. Its capital invested in
manufactures within the State has in
creased from $40, 521, 04S to $3.50. $685.
745. It's assessed wealth has increased
from s296, 900, 900 to sS93, 900, 900.
And here is what professions home

farmer:

The farming industry of New Jersey
has been ruined to build up its pro-
tected mills.

Why Bicycllsts Should Vote Against
Mckinley.

At least 200, 900 voters are riding
bicycles which cost from 20 to 80 per
cent. more than they ought to on &C
count of the tariff on foreign bicycles
and on the various materials which 60
to make up the finished wheel. This
does not mean that bicycles can be
made cheaper abroad than in this
country. On the contrary, they can
be made here at g lower cost and of
better quality than in any other part
of the world. But the duty prevents
foreign manufacturers sending their
wheels here, and taking advantage of
this restriction on competition the
bicycle trust keeps prices far above
the real value of the machines. This
is shown by the fact that during the
past few years American bicycles have
been largely exported to Europe,
Africa and Australia, whore they are
sold cheaper than in this country in
free competition with European
wheels. The bicycle manufacturers
are not wholly to blame for the higher
prices which they charge American
purchasers. Their raw material-wire
spokes, cranks, handle bars and all
other parts of the finished wheel-are
heavily taxed.
These taxes have to be shifted to the
consumers, and, therefore, the price
is higher than If raw materials were
free. If Mckinley is elected the
duties on bicycles and all their COM
ponent parts will be greatly increased
if the Republican threat of higher
tariff taxes is carried out. This will
make bicycles cost more. ALI wheel.
men who want high-class machines al
low prices should vote against McKin.
ley and desrer bicycles.

How VIII Mckinley Protect the North
Against the SOuthi

The recent tremendous growth OF
the cotton manufacturing industry in
the South, where hundreds of men
we're employing many thousands OF
operatives, has beeu built during the
past two or three years, has resulted
In Q temporary over-production o.
many kinds Of cotton fabrics. In
consequence Of this oyer-supply q
large number of New England cotton
mills have agreed to close down for q
few weeks, in order to curtail produc-
ton. This is hailed with delight by
the MoKinleyites. who claim that the
suspension of work is due to the VIII
son tariff, and that no such condition
can arise when the high tariff prophet
is President.
Merely for the sake OF information,
will not some kind protectionist please
explain how increasing duties on for
eign imports can possibly protect New
England mills against the cotton in
dustries of the Southern States2 The
latter have the advantage of being
nearer TO their raw material; they
have also cheaper fuel and excellent
water power, and wages are lower than
In the North. II under these condi-
tions the output of cotton goods has
increased so rapidly as to iniure the
New England mills, how will more
tariff taxes help matters? The Con-
stitution of the United States wisely
prohibits taxes on interstate trade, SO
that no tariff can be made to shut
Southern cotton out of the Northern
markets. 80 that the pretense that if
Mckinley is elected there will be no
more over-production by the New
England mills is, like all other Re-
publican promises, q delusion and q
svindle.

Then must also be subt-acsed from
the number of the protected classes O
long list of various occupations, such
Is builders and contractors, bakers,
paper hangers, plumbers and steam
filters, oil well employees, publishers
of newspapers, printers, etc., ETC.,
amounting, with those above, to al
most 8, 400, 900, none of whom are in
any way benefited by the tariff. This
leaves only LOO, 900, or eight per
cent. of the total number Of workers,
who are engaged in protected occupa-
tions.
On their face these statistics prove
that McKinleyism il a scheme to help
8 per cent. of the people at the eI-
pense of 90 per cent. And on closer
examination it will be found that of
even the per cent. not one person in
thousand is really helped by protec-
tion. The 1,70O, 900 are supposed to
get higher wages On account of the
tarif, but as there is no tax on labor
which comes in free from the cheap
labor countries of Europe which the
Republicans talk against so much, it is
evident that wages are not increased
BY high taxes. Then, again, these l.
700, ono are all consumers of goods, the
prices OF which are very much higher
on account Of the taxes, which shut
out foreign competition. As there is
no magic by which the people who use
goods can shift the tariff tax to any
one else, it follows that the man en-
gagged in the protected industries suf-
fers with all other classes from the ar
tlfcially high prices Of the tariff-cre-
sted trusts.
If the q, 200, 900 Americans who are
unprotected are willing to vote for q
system which only pretends to favor
LOO, 900, at the expense of the larger
number, they should support McKin-
ley. If they want q policy in the in
terests OF the wholepeople they should
vote for Democratic candidates and
principles.

TALLY or wholly reimburse the bank for
the delay. That has been substantially
the price OF gold bullion ever since.
The act Of parliament at once raised
the price Of gold bullion about 8 pence
an ounce. A favorite argument with
the gold people is that the value OF
gold Is wholly independent Of coinage.
And yet we see that a simple delay OF

would have been worth.
In France the law provides for the
coinage of gold at the rate Of 3,1OO
francs to the kilogram. The kilogram
is something over "a pounds-more

not aware Of any law In France SINH

In that country the mint rate fixes the
price, subject to any small difference
that may result from delay in the coin

very slight, because the gold can be re-
allied upon Immediately at the Bank
Of England.
