Nobody who voted for Mckinley has
been heard 10 complain during the last
sixty days of the result of that vote.
Since the enactment of the protective
tariff which the election of Mckinley
assured, manufacturers have resumed

many cases, business houses report
their sales larger than in n year
since Mckinley times. and the only
complaint which the banks have to
offer is that they cannot find enough
customers for the money which they
have TO loan. This is a marked con-

cashire Courier. certain industries
have been carried in America TO a de-

opment than that which they have as
yet attained in the old country" Pre-
cisely so; and these American indus
tries are increasing so rapidly in num-
Der and Importance as to attract the
attention of the civilized world TO the
results of protection in the United
States. No country more than Eng
land feels the effect of Americas mar
velous Industrial strides. 1t is a
shock in more ways than one, this
triumph of protection, for it not only
tends to unsettle English faith in free
trade theories, but it is hurting Eng
