McKinley on American*.
Major McKinley went to Nebraska to
to tell the people of that anti-Republi
ean state why their opposition to his tax
law is folly.
The major still professes to believe
that any reduction of the rates of duty
of his tariff for protection only would
result in the ruin of the country, He
asserted at Beatrice that if the manu
facturers, workingmen, merchants and
farmers of this country were not de
fended by his statute they would be
come paupers. The native American,
in his judgement, is not able to hold his
own in competition with other people
of the world.
He says this of the country which, in
its infancy and despite the harsh navi
gation laws of Great Britain, intended
to prevent the new republic from shar
ing in the commerce of her West Indian
possessions, took the lion's share of
that trade, and that, too, when our
tariff taxes were lower than any Demo
cratic statesman would think of impos
ing under present trade conditions.
The seizure of that trade was the
beginining of a glorious supremacy of
this country on the ocean for a long
period, during which American ships
had a large share of the world's carry
ing trade and received higher freights
than the ships that sailed under any
other flag.
Later, from 1850 to 1800, when tariff
duties averaged from 25 per cent, down
to 20 per cent., the progress of this
country was more rapid than at any
time in its history. Its commerce, its
manufactures and its agriculture de
veloped enormously.
The civil war and the high tariffs
checked the advance of the country,
hut no measure ever placed upon the
statute hooks of the United States has
been such a stumbling-block to Ameri
can progress as the McKinley net.
When Mr. McKinley says that his
fellow-countrymen are unable to cope
with foreigners in the struggle of ex
istence he slanders a people who have
shown the highest capacity for the in
dustrial arts of life.—lV. Y. World.
A Queer Query.
Query! If the slight reductions in the
duties on iron and steel, forced into the
McKinley tariff by free-trade Demo
cratic influence, have so soon brought
mischief and misery to the workers in
iron and steel in the United States, what
would be the result if, instead of those
slight reductions, there had been adopted
a tariff-for-revenue only ?— l*rogress.
Our esteemed contemporary accords
"free trade Democratic iniluence" a
great deal more than it deserves. It is
news to free traders that they had any 1
influence in framing the McKinley bill
or forcing reductions in the duties on
iron and steel. It was certainly not in
the house of representatives, where
there were 175 Republicans to 152 Demo
crats, and in the senate the McKinleyites
had a majority of 10. A comparison of
the duties on iron and steel imposed by
the former tariff and the new bill does
not show a single instance where the
rates were reduced by McKinley, but it
does show in numerous places where
they were advanced. If, as the Progress
acknowledges, misery and mischief have
been brought to the workers in these
industries, the Republican party is en
titled to full credit for this result. Free
traders had no say whatever in fixing
the duties of the McKinley hill, hut of
course somebody must he denounced for
the deplorable condition of the iron and
steel trade, and the "free trade bugaboo"
had to he resurrected. But the day is!
past when voters will believe all they
lead in Republican organs.
WEST VIRGINIA is a state that is claim
ed as doubtful by the Republicans.
When the convention met the other day
they had the hardest kind of a time
trying to get a candidate to run for gover
nor. Nearly a dozen of the leading men
of the party, including Bill Elkins, de- j
clined the honor without thanks, hut
they finally prevailed upon T. A. Davis,
a hanker with a big barrel, to head the
ticket. A very doubtful state, indeed.
Read the new ballot law.
THE NEW BALLOT LAW.
MANY RADICAL CHANGES FOR THE
VOTERS TO STUDY.
Complete Text of the New Method of

IntercHt to Every Citizen of the State.

missioners of each county, who shall procure

cus, convention or board desires to make or j
certify nominations, may nominute one candi
date for each office which is to be tilled in the
state, or in the said district or division, at the
next ensuing election, by causing a certificate
of nomination to be drawn up and filed as here
inafter provided, provided that any political
party which polled three per centum of the
entire vote in the state at the election next pro
ceeding at which a state officer was voted for
may make and certify nominations according
to the provisions of this section for any elec
toral division or district of the state, notwith
standing that such political party may have
|M>llcd less than three per centum of the entire
vote at the last preceding election in said elec
toral district or division. Every such certifi
cate of nomination shall be signed by the pre
siding officer and the secretary, or secretaries,

office to be filled by the voters of the state at
large the number of the qualified electors of
the state signing such nomination paper shall
be at least one-half of one per centum of the
largest vote for any officer elected in the state
at the last preceding election at which a state
officer was voted for. In the case of all other

of the electoral district or division signing
such nomination patters shall be at least three
per centum of the largest entire vote for any
officer elected at the last preceding election in
the said electoral district or division for which
said nomination palters are designed to be
made. Each elector signing a nomination
paper shall add to his signature his place of
residence and occupation, and no tterson may
subscrilte to more than one nomination for
each office to be filled. The signatures to each
nomination paper und the qualification of the
signers shall be vouched for by the affidavit of
