From the camp Mr. Powderly | and other hooded Protectionists find it | convenient now and then to fire a few | | shots into the Democratic ranks, It is | thought that this method of warfare on | | the Democracy may prove more effective | | than would an open adherence to the | party of McKinleyism. ) - . | REPUBLICAN organs and speakers are | industriously engaged in convincing the | people that the McKinley tariff is really | | & great blessing mn disguise. That its | effect has been to raise the price of real | { estaie, the wages of labor, and bring | general prosperity to the country. They forget however to cite any instances | where real estate has increased in value, | or where wages have been raised since the passing of the McKinley Bill, They of course have very few instances | which they might refer. The enhanced | value of castles in Scotland, and the in- creased pay of the Pinkertons by reason of Carnegle’s might by cases in point. Besides these two instances the price of real estate has been on the decline, and wages haye been naturally reduced.

Chairman Kerr should have credit for what he did. - a Prorecrion, Pinkertonism, and Poverty would make afitting republican campaign cry. These are the grand re sults of the workings of the McKinley bill, and since the republican platform declares in favor of the McKinley tariff, they should by all means adopt some. thing of the kind asa campaign slogan.

Mr. Carlisle was not satisfied to rest with the reputation of Mr. Aldrick’s entire speech, but he made an aggressive at. { tack upon the republican tariff system, showing conclusively that by reason of improved appliances for production and transportation, there is a constant tend- ency to lower prices for commodities, and higher wages of labor ; which tend- | ency is constantly interfered with by | the present system of protective taxes, He also proved conclusively that in the unprotected industries the result was lower prices and higher wages of labor, | while in the protected industries the { prices of commodities were increasing land the wages of labor decreasing. This is not only established by facts and figures, but actual experience has fully | demonstrated this proposition.
