The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1902-05-02
Romember 1892.

Shall history repeat itself in the mat
ter of Tariff revision? Is the country
prepared to duplicate the folly of 1892?
Congressman McCleary of Minnesota
in a letter to some Of his constituents
answers these questions in a broad,
comprehensive, clear and philosophy
cal manner. Ten years ago the people
of the United States were persuaded
that prices were too high and that in
order to bring about a general reduc-
ton in values the Mckinley Tariff
should be repealed. 1t was repealed,
and prices fell nightly. Four years
later the problem was, How shall
prices be increased? This time the
Democratic solution was, A Fifty-Cent
Dollar. Mckinley pointed out a bet-
ter way to restore the good prices that
had been foolishly flung away in 1892.
His plan was to open the mills instead
of the minis. His plan was adopted.
Prices revived under the workings of a
Republican Protective Tariff. All
prices revived-prices of things to be
sold. prices of things to be bought,
prices Of labor. Tremendous prosperity
resulted, greater than any people In
any period Of human history had ever
known. That prosperity has continued
for nearly five years. There is no
break in sight. Once again, however,
it is contended that prices are too
high. Once again it is proposed to
lower prices by Tariff revision. 1t was
done in that way eight years ago. 1t
can be done again in that way. Shall
it be done?

Cnaflle makes an Engagement.
Who was she?
This question came into Chalie's
mind many times while they walked
through those ghostly passages, seek
ing the worn stone stairs at the top
Of which stood the roughly hewn oak
door studded with rusty nails.
At the foot of the worn stone steps
the girl came to a sudden stop.
