a BUSINESS LESSON.

Seven Millions More Trade Now Daily

Bank clearings afford the best guide
to the volume of business that is trans

These figures represent hundreds of
millions of dollars. Under the Mckin-
ley tariff, in President Harrison's ad-
ministratiOn, the average volume of
business transacted in the United
States was almost sixty billions Of dol
lars year.
During President Cleveland's admin
istration it averaged nine billions a
year less. In other words. there was
three million dollars less business
transacted every business day of the
year.
Under the Dingley tariff and the adj
miniStration Of President Mckinley
the average volume Of business was
twenty three billions year more than
in the preceding Democratic admins
tration of President Cleveland.
In other words. there has been over
seven million dollars worth more bust
ness transacted every day during Pres
ident McKinley's term than there was
under President Cleveland.
Moral: Vote for a continuation of the
Republican administration with pro-
tective tariff.
