Hut, gentlemen, wo ere confronted
with e new cry in tbit campaign. Tiie
Keiuldican party aaya Governor Mc
Kinley now Hands for protection end
reciprocity. He wee for protection nlone
when he framed hie hill in the houee, or
rather permitted hie beneficiaries to
frame it for him, and firmly' reslstea all
the efforta of tbe statesmen from Maine
to annex reciprocity to it. No wonder
that be fayoru tbe reciprocity added by
the senate. You may explore tbo pages
of burlesque literature foi anything more
supremely ludicrous then the so-called
reciprocity of the McKinley bill.
It is not reciprocity at all. It Is re
taliation, and the woist of all retaliation
on our owu people. It punl-hea Ameri
can citiaens for the necessities nr follies
of other people. It says to a few email
countries south of us: “If you are forced
by your neiesaltiss. or led by your
follies to make bread higher, and
scarcer to your people, we will make
•hoes and sugar higher and scarcer to
our people.’’ .
And now we are told that reciprociw
Is to to their battle cry. Already we
are regaled with pictures of Ite.ij imin
Harrison clad in armor end going forth
to battle for reciprocity on u plumed
•teed. Simple Simon fishing for whales
in hie mother's reio barrel and in great
triumph capturing an occasional wiggles
waggle ie ibw only trne. realistic picture
of tbe reciprocity of the M'-Kinley bill.
We are for the protestion that protects
and for the reciprocity that reciprocates.
We ere In favor of protecting every man
in the enjoyment of tha fruit of bia
labor, diminished only to the proper
contribution to the eupnort of the gov
