M’KINLKY ON HIS BILL. He Thinks His Industry Nursery will Increase the Demand for Labor. Chicago, Oct. 13. —Maj. McKinley ar rived In the city from Canton, 0., last night, on his way to Michigan to make some speeches. In an interview he said he be lieved bis tariff bill would Inorease the demand for labor materially. The tin in dustry alone would employ 15.00 U and the linen industry would also employ a large number. A reporter suggested that his bill is said to be oausiug merchants to mark up their goods. “Presumably they are marking up goods upon which duties have been increased. Goods bought before the bill went into effect could hardly be subject to any ad vauoe. However, If they aclvanoe the price of goods because of the advanced duty, and they will at the same time mark down the price of goods which have been put on the free list by the new bill, or where the duties have been diminished, it will be a great boon to the consumer, for the reductions of duty far exceod the advances.” SPAIN CONSIDERING ECONOMIC WAR.

POLITICS IN MILLER Judge Guerry for tho Bench and Gor don for tho Senate. Colquitt, Ga., Oct. 13.— The election of United States senator and judge of the superior court are the subjects of a good deal of discussion in this section. Miller county is one of the few counties of Georgia which doee not send an allianootnan to the legislature, and tho alliance will not in struct Hon. C. C. Hush, the member-elect, oa to how he shall vote for senator. It is thought, however, that he will bo unani mously requested to support Judge James H. Guerry, who is serving out Judge J. T. Clarke’s unexpired term, for re-election to the judgeship of the Pataula oircuit, from tho fact that Judge Guerry did not actively antagonize the re-election of Con gressman Turner, while oooupying a posi tion on the superior court bench. Every one admits that Judge Guerry’s unwilling ness to reek another office while holding ou, will not only gain him votes from the legislators of Hecond congressional district, but will cause votes to voluntarily come to him from all over the state. Judge Guerry was Indorsed for congress bv the aU anoa in several counties of this dis trict, ho being a stanch friend to the farmers, which is sure to give him a large support from the alli ance legislators. The people are considera bly worked up relative bo the sonatorsiiip ami judgeship, but the opinion is that Miller’s representative will cost his vote for both Gov. Gordon and J udge (ouerry.
