aULnrge to the OonstUnl tonal Contention pro
vided for In the Act of Assembly approved June
19, 1891, and for the transaction of such other

Notice Is especially directed to the fact that, in

THE TRUTH AT LAST.
Bo tbo enemy has surrendered. The
truth is admitted nt last. Tho Mo
Kiuley bill is not a foreign lustrumout,
but a wedge by which Auierlcau man
ufacturers aud Americans are enabled
to make a place for themselves among
the commercial nations.
Eugland admits that the McKlnley
bill enables American manufactuiers
and worklngmen to supply their own
wants aud shut out pauper competi
tion. The St. James Gazette, of London,
England, takes a very gloomy view of
the condition of British tiade aud
says the decline is duo to the operation
of the McKlnley law in this countiy.
It admits that the people of England
have beeu relying upon the Demo
cratic hoax that the McKlnley law
would eventually prove a real mls
forluue to the United States, but that
they now realize thetruth tho imme
diate object of MoKln ley's bill was to
hit foreign manufacturers. Conclud
ing, tho Gazette tearfully adds "it is
plainly evident that this object has
been attained."
The Loudou Times, too, the organ
of the Government, is likewise sorrow
ful aud says "the McKlnley law has
beeu the great cause of the disturb
auce."
O, if we were only close enough to
McKinley to give the baud that
diafted that law a congratulatory
shake I
Squirm, ye American copperheads,
aud lake your medicine.
McKlnley did it with his liltlo pen
and there is no greater ma a in Aiuei
ica to-day than McKinley.
"What a glowing I fibula the Gazette
and Times pay to him ! How frankly
they admit that they were iestiiv
upon false hopesl Andliow eflcclup'l.y
do they stamp the Democrat of this
country as falsifiers!
Cleveland's fall and the pnssage of
the McK'aley bill were two of the
greatnt achievements made in this
country since the emancipation. Some
have beon slow in lealizing this, but
the truth is gradually dawning and
