Mckinley Is a Man of the People

With each succeeding day we have fresh
evidences of Mr.. Mckinley's determine
ton to revert to the practices of such
Presidents as Grant Arthur and Harri-
son, and to step aside from the new de-
parture inaugurated by Mr.. Cleveland
With each succeeding day we are
strengthened in the belief that Mr.. Nc
Kinley finds the customs of the Presi-
dents, from the beginning down to 1885,
good enough for him.
We have already expressed our gratifi-
cation at finding that Mr.. Mckinley has
confidence enough in his fellow-ctizens to
leave the White House guards behind and
walk about the public streets like any 9TH
er human being. We now find that he is
capable of going in person to n hospital
to visit one of his close friends unhappily
sojourning there as the victim of an acct
dent. Mr.. Mckinley. in fact, appears to
be as kind-hearted as he is transformations.
not at all disposed to segregate himself
from the human race, or to repudiate the
simple ties of friendship and affection.
The illustrious position to which he has
been elevated does not change his dispo-
stion or fill him with conceit.-Washing-

Why Importations Have Decreased

The Investigations of the Ways and
Means Committee show that the reason
for the decreased value of importations
under the Wilson bill and the apparent
large excess in the value of exports is not
altogether that we are exporting more and
importing less, in. proportion, than for
merly, but that our exports are valued as
heretofore ut the full price, and the nd
valorem rates of the Wilson bill encour-
age the differentiation of imports, as nd
valorem rates have always done. This
effect has been especially noticeable in
the chemical schedule, In which the sinh.
stitution, in the Wilson German bill. of ad
valorem for specific rates was more gen
eral and sweeping than in any other sched-
ule. The decline in the invoiced value of
imports is too great to be accounted for
by ordinary fluctuations of prices or even
by hard times.

 The cause for complaint is said to be a system in vogue whereby the company awards a contract to a person for a cer- tain amount of coal. The contractor then hires cheap labor detrimental to the free Taborers, and makes considerable money thereby.

This morning Liverpool sent us rather a favorable report, that market de- elining only partially one sixty-fourth but our market opened from one point down on the near to four points down on the late months. The news from the south was somewhat more favorable and prices de- clined several points further on good for eign buying, almost the whole loss was re- covered in the afternoon. May opened at 767 advanced to 7.oS, declined to 7OS, and closed at 7.06G7O7, with the tone of the mar ket steady. Unless prices should be tenn porarily depressed by the troubles in Eu- rope, we see nothing to cause decline at present. RIORDAN & co.
