Sail vr gcmaamt Insurance, etc., and 35 per cent profit, $4.08 more under the McKlnley law tha under the old law. A SWASilKlt. Our neighbor, the Herald, evidently has a new editor. It published a lung editorial on the tariff question taking as a text squib from the Democrat In the shape of a joke about the grip, seasoned somewhat with a little extract of tariff reform. But it was to the Herald as the notorious red rag to a masculine bovine quadruped, Here is what it his to say after quoting ou little grip joke: The Impression conveyed In this extract is that the Drice of woolen goods has ad vanced, by reason of the McKlnley blll.ioo percent, or to sucn.an extent mat uic poorer people nnu it uueny impusmuic 10 buv and use them. This Is an absolute ' and malicious prevarication, and the proof cf that fact lies witnm me reacn 01 ev cry Individual who will take the trouble to inquire Into the matter. It is highly propable that thli astute "new" editor of the Herald is the only man In all thethousands who read our grip squib that received the impression that the Democrat meant to say that woolen goods had advanced by reason of the McKlnley bill 100 per cent. A real genuine tariff reformer "does nut care whether school keeps or not," that Is he cares nothing about the offices or about winning elec tions except in so far as they contribute to the promotion of such a tariff reform will reduce duties to a revenue basis. Hence a tariff reformer always swings a free lance. But the average republican protectionist hue no real mollye In pro moting the scheme of protectionism ex cept that of promoting nis chances of win ning elections and securing the offices. It is therefoie amusing to lee a republican protectionist attempting to defend his pro tection policy. They uniformly leave out one or more facts, which, If given a place in the argument, would destroy their own argument. As an example: The "new" editor quote a business man as saying that woolen goods bolh foreign and domestic have not advanced a :fngle nlckle in price since the passage of th) McKlnley bill. Does this mean that inc easing the duty on foreign goods will not Increase the price of foreign goods to the American consumer? Such an allegation Is absurd. No sensible, intelligent business man will make it. It would be just as sensible to say that doubling freight on goods would not Increase the price to the consumer. But If the duty on foreign goods does not in crease the price of such goods to the Amer ican consumer, then there Is nothing in protection. There Is, there can be, but one object in a protective tariff, that is to com pel the foreign manufacturer to keep out of American market6 by making his goods cost him so much to get them into our markets, that he cannot sell them in com petition at a profit with American goods, or at least to compel him to advance hl prices to such a point that his competition in the market will not prove hurtful to the American manufacturer. But it is highly propable that woolen goods are no higher now than prior to the passage of the Mc Klnley bill and for a very good reason Every intelligent, wide awake, business man knows that prior to the passage of the McKlnley bill, and at the time when it be came reasonably certain that the bill would pass, Importers in lines of goods up on which the duties were increased by the McKlnley bill, more than doubled their orders for foreign goods In order that they might be admitted to our customs houses before the higher duties came into lorce, As the duties on all lines of woolen goods were increased by the McKinley bill (the Increase being from an average of 03 to 91 per cent) importers in these lints more than doubled their importations and to such an extent has the market for woolen goods been Hooded with these Importations upon which the lower duties wete paid, and influenced to such an extent hv the 'hard times and close money" that has prevailed in mor-t parts of the country since mid winter, that v.e could only ex pect low prices for woolen goods. But if ant man, whether business or otherwise, will say that woolen clothes can be im ported into the American markets, sinei the passage of the McKinley bill, and sold as cheaply and for the same profit as they were before its passage, then we can only express our sorrow for one so dull. The impression conveyed by the Herald article is that woolen goods can be imported and sold as cheaply in the American markets since the passage of the McKlnley hill as before Its passage. "This is an absolute and malicious prevarication and the proof of that fact lies within the reach ot every Individual who will take the trouble" to investigate the following arithmetical problem: An Importer purchased a suit of woolen clothes weighing eight pound. In Manchester, England, just before the passage of the McKlnley bill, for w hich he paid $10 and a similar suit, since the Mc Klnley bill went into effect. Supposing freight, insurance, etc., to be the same in each cae, what will be the difference In the prices of these suits to the American consumer? Under the old law the duty was forty cents per pound and 35 per tent ad valorem, hence the total duty under the old law was $6.70. Under the Mc Kinley law the duty Is 49 cents per pound and 60 per cent ad valorem, hence the total duty on the suit under the Mc Kinley law Is $9.96 or an Increase of3-a6. So that the American consumer who buys the above suit of foreign made clothing have to pay, (allowing $1 for freight, KKKP PACE. Unless th-re is another state admitted into the Union between now and ihe presidential election in iSq.2. the next electoral college will consist of 420 members, of whom 211 will be the mainritv necessary for an election Males, man. The republicans in the last congress created little nocket boroughs. (such as Idaho, and Wycming) so fast that our esteemed coteinpo- rary, the Statesman was not able to keep pne with the rapidly enacted process, hence it is not mitter of wonder that it should omit to count at least a score of electors. Try It again. If, as Mr Bliine says, protection dignifies and ennobles labor, it should certainly be seen in Pennsylvania, which gets the lion's share of protection. Yet nowhere is Mr Blaines assertion so completely refuted as in that state. The coal and coke regions pre sent a scene of the most abject poverty and distress. Thousands of people are on stiiki bloody riots are frequent, and hundreds of starving women and children are being evicted from their homes. Men who have struck against starvation wages are intimidated by Pinkerton hirelings, and fresh importations of Huns. Italians and Slavs are filling their places. This is protected labor labor driven to desperation and hunger by protected bosses. A canvass of many counties in Virginia has recently been made, and the Richmond States Dem says: "The result shows, as the States has asserted from the first, thai Cleveland is the choice of an overwhelming majoiity. Over 40 counties nearly half the state have sent in 172 replies, and the summing up shows 23 expressions of opinion in favor of tariff reform, against only 38 for free coinage, with I undecided. That settles it, Mr Cleveland, irginia endorses you." New Millinery Store.
