The table, AND PRICES.

/ Important facts and figures relative
! to the new tariff, CLEANED from Hon
! William 3. McKi1ley's mastery
speech in the house at Washington
ION February q of the present year
were presented in these columns yes
terday. In the same address Mr.. Mc
kiniey discussed the subject OF high
prices and showed conclusiyely that
these were not due to the tariff law
as charged by certain Democrats and
demagogues. This charge is made in
the face Of the fact that upon no art
icle which has been increased in price
was the tariff increased. but on the
contrary, in most of them there was
a reduction of the duty.
4 long list Of commodities in gen
eraI use upon which the tariff was left
unchanged or materially reduced was
published in yesterdays Gate City. In
mis- address Congressman Mckinley
cited several examples which show
the absurdity OF those who contend
that higher prices are due to the new
tariff Law. Not only was the duty on
boots and shoes reduced from % per
cent TO 10 per cent ad yalorem. a
reduction Of So per cent, but hides
we're made free, and yet today we are
compelled 10 par higher price all
over the country for boots and shoes.
An attempt has been made in certain
quarters to Increase the price OF cloth
ing, and yet there vas no increase OF
duty. On woolens the duty vas left
unchanged, and on cotton goods the
few increases were only upon the
higher priced and luxurious grades
On almost all building material,
whether of wood or iron and steel,
the tariff was very substantially re-
duced. On agricultural implements
and household utensils, and in fact
all the necessaries OF life. there was
reduction, as can be proved
BIZ examining the various schedules OF
the new Law. Higher prices. there
fore, on any commodity can not be
attributed 10 the new tariff Law, and
those who raise the price and give
the tariff as the reason are deceiving
their customers b. classifying the
facts.
One important cause for high
prices is the crop situation as regards
export shipment. Similar conditions
are reported from Germany. Austria,
England and elsewhere. At the same
time the figures for the worlds gold
production, as pointed ont in Presi-
dent Taffs message at the opening OF
congress, must be held largely re-
sponsible. In less than twenty years
the worlds production of gold has
quadrupled. In the past fifteen years
our circulation has almost doubled.
Surely, as Sir. Mckinley insisted, an
increase in per capita circulation in
fifteen years of almost 80 per cent.
an increase in total circulation Of al
most 100 per cent, and an increase in
the worlds production Of gold of about
225 per cent in the same period have
had their effect in producing the pres
ent price situation
