Remedy for Business Paralysis.

When Mr.. Mckinley was elected Pres

revenues Of the government were not
equal to it's expenditures and the Cleve-

sums Of money to meet current expenses.
Eleven days after his Inauguration Pres
ident Mckinley had Congress in session.
and, pursuant to his recommendation,
it passed the Dingley tariff bill, which
has restored prosperity, equipped am
pie revenues to the government, and, in
the language OF President Mckinley, has
.'given ! abor in every field the useful oc-
cupation, the liberal wages. and the ade-

The Way 1t Works.

Prior to the establishment of n protec-
tive duty on tin plate the annual impor-
tation Of the article into the United
States ranged in the vicinity of 5 O,OOO,-
600 pounds. for which we paid over 500
10000 a year. When the Mckinley tar
lH law took effect, Oct. /, 1890. there
was not a tin plate factory in the United
states, and Democrats declared there
never would be. BY 1892 the production
of American tin amounted to over 49,
1000 pounds; by 1894 to l39, 600, 600
pounds. by 1896 to 3O7 ,OOO, 900 pounds,
by $ to 191,OOO.OOO pounds. since
when it has largely increased. Now, in
stead of sending millions Of dollars
abroad every year for tin we make the
tin and keep the money at home. That
is the way protection Works.
