.jNcKLNLEYS DIFFICULTIES.

Major Mckinley will have trou-
.h,e in finding data upon which to
l'ese his message calling an extra
..ssion of Congress to tinker with
she tariff.
according to the Majors favor
lie theory in political economy, the
source Of prosperity is the home
HsrNet and the sign of it is the
Giimlnution of the imports OF for
elgu goods.
When the Major comes to look
i the figures he will find that
under the Wilson law there is a
steady decline in imports. Low as
he import record of last year was,
1t is going lower at a rapid rate
tins year. At the port of New
York the imports for this month
have been falling under those of
the same period last year at the
rate of about 81, 900, 600 week.
On the other hand, the Major
will find that while the imports
have been diminishing the exports
have been increasing. The foreign
trade Of the country increased last
year millions of dollars.
If these facts mean anything be-
yond well-known market condi-
tons they mean that prohibition
of foreign goods and the conse-
quent heavy taxation Of the people
to fill the pockets of the favored
few are not needed to keep the
home market for American manu-
facturers; that under freer trade
the American manufacturers can
retain the home market and cap
ture the foreign markets.
Il the Major urges higher tariff
taxes for revenue purposes, the de,
creasiug revenues of his own law
will damn his argument. The fact
is, he is practically reduced to the
plain statement that we ought to
have higher taxes because Hanna
promised them to the "patriots'
who lent their purses to the repub.
lican party.

WHEN the report Of some per-
son freezing to death on a North
Dakota prairie reaches the east it
is heralded from mouth to mouth
by horror stricken people, but
when they read such kilograms as
the following, taken from last
weeks associated-press, they do not
read it twice:
Fifteen hundred homeless men
partook of the hospitality of the
city last night and slept under the
roofs Of the police stations. Fifty
three persons were listed as over
come by the terrible cold in Chi
cago and were rescued in a partly
frozen condition. One death oc-
Cured which was due to the cold
aud Il number of people are likely
to die as result of frozen limbs
or exposure. Most Of the sufferers
succumbed to the cold while about
their usual tasks, but a number Of
the victims were homeless wander
ers.
Just think of it! At Cleveland,
Ohio; St. Louis, Mo. Dallas, Tex
as; Pittsburgh, Pa, and dozens Of
other cities throughout the east
ern and southern states comes the
report Of people frozen to death
in Sundays storm. We may have
an occasional blizzard in North
Dakota that catches some unfor-
tunate far from home on an open
prairie, but our people don't freeze
to death on the streets nor are they
starving or suffering. There has
been more deaths from freezing in
the city of Chicago during the last
storm than ever resulted from the
same cause in both the Dakotas.
