DINGLEY LAW
Has Brought Prosperity to the Amer.
leans of all Glasses.
ALL THE PROMISES MAFD
Before Election Have Been Kept,
And the Wages Of Thousands Of
working Man Have Been In
creased-Where There was a Deficit
a Surplus Now Exists.

WASHINGTON, May s.-The recent
reply Of Secretary Gage to Congress-
showing the receipts of the government
from the Dlngley tariff law and the war
tax bill is the source OF great gratifica-
tlon to the Republican leaders and TO
the ohicIals Of the administration. Not
only have the revenues equalsd ths esti-
mates, but the great prosperity Of the
country which has been secured by fol-
lowing the recommendations Of Presl-
dent Mckinley in his fret message to
the Congress, has caused the receipts to
exceed the estimates and produced an
estimated surplus of SS2,OOO,OoO a.
against deficit Of s15,OOOOOO under the
Cleveland administration and hard
times. More than thatthe future prom
isas even greater prosperity.
Factories Were Opened.
During the presidential campaign of
1896 Major Mckinley announced that he
was in favor Of opening our factories
for the employment of Americans in
preference to opening our minis to the
silver OF the world. and as soon as he
was inaugurated as President he pro-
creded 70 recommend legislation that
would secure the furtherance OF the pol
icy ON which he had made his canvass.
His recommendations were In brief as
follows: Ample revenue must be sup
piled not only for the extraordinary ex-
penses of the government, but for the
prompt payment of liberal pensions and
the liquidation Of the principal and lu-
terast OF the public debt. In raising rev.
enues, duties should be levied upon for
eign productions as TO preserve the
home market, SO far as possible, to OR
own producers; to revlve and increase
manufactures: to relieve and encourage
agriculture; to increase our domestic
and foreign commerce.; to aid and de-
velop mining and building; and to rem
der to labor in every field Of useful oc-
cupatlon the liberal wages and adequate
rewards to which skin and industry are
Justly entitled. The necessity of the
passage of a tariff law which shall pro-
vide ample revenue need not be further
urged. The imperative demand OF tue
hour is the prompt enactment OF such
measure, and to this object earnestly
recommend that Congress shall make
every endeavor. Before other business
is transacted let US first provide sutil-
Client revenue to faithfully administer
the government without the contracting
of further debt or the continued dis
turbance of our finances"
All Promises Were Kept.
