In short, carry out logieally and to their fullest extent McKinley's views about industry, and you woiuid have every man trying to produce a good deal and sell as little as possible. David A. Wells, in American Journal of Politics. III — An Example of Tarilf Reform. MeKinleyism is atrocious, but what would the Democrats do in the way of reform should they attain power! The question is sometimes asked in good faith by Republicans weaned of the Republi- ean policy of high tarifl, During the first session of the present Congress a Democratic House passed smong other bills amendstory of the home { ] McKinley law one which, 3 there had been concurrence of a Repbliean Senate and approval by a Republican Executive, would have put binding twine upon the ree list. The tanfl laid by McKinley- sm upon biading twine affects every miser of a crop of cereals, for binding wine is now employed necessarily in ronnection with improved machine, y for mowing and reaping. That tari} was laid and is maintained by McKinley- ism for no other purpose in this world than to enable what now known as the cordage trust to manufacture this necessary article and make its own price thereon, enriching itself but compelling tribute from nearly 7,000,000 agricul turists in the United States. It 18 is this protection which Democrac y describes | fraudulent, It is fosters a monopoly, and nus protection ’ u few persons relatively who are engaged | | in the manufacture of binding twine, as well as all artiel character, im ] poses a burden upon millions of the peo- ple of the United State AD House binding t ' upon the free list in « that the reason of monopoly now existing by tarifl taxation binding twine and of might be destr yyed by free ¢ The c : the expectati that the eral of Mr. Harrison’ sail it in the courts a J that he upon articles like character petition, usly exists.

Whitelaw Reid satd in a speech tha by coupling together ‘‘protection and reciprocity” his party had given us a “free breakfast table,” which the De. mocrats propose to destroy by Pitkoring the revenue duties on coffee, tea an sugar.” Th» only thing the Republicans did to give us a free breaklast table was to re. duce the duty on refined sugar from sbout two snd a half to one-half cents pound. For this we would have thankful if it had not reduced our revenue by nearly $60,000,000 to give an opportunity to impose more onerous duties upon other articles of food and olothing-—duties that would not, like the sugar duty, put almost as many dollars ‘nto our treasury as it took from the people, but that would take three dollars from the people, ona of whicn would reach our Treasury and two of which which | while benefiting | would be caught the fly by the ‘‘triends of the administration, No, we have not free sugar yet for our breakfast tables: the half per cent. duty must be paid to the sugar trust. It is this duty that the Democrats pro- pose to remove and that they would have removed months ago if a Republican Een ate and President had not blocked the way. As to years been on the possible effect of reciprocity would be to reimpose duties and to tax decrees of For not on have for The only upon them and coflee they free ten | list, them, as has been dene by President Harrison in some cases, such a “free breakfast table” we especially grateful to the protecti Keep MeKinley on the Stump. three ‘was received ent show their McKinley spoke in large cities in Vermont this year and with the greatest enthusiaun by gr audiences in each ¢ his year with tion of appreciation of and blessed tariff law these cities this cast the following vole as compare ad the vote in the 1868; corresponding ele worli——— The Decline of Proteelion. forms have been Nati favors nro. ! : this Pro. foon have withdrawn.
