TRADE Ab A SCHOOLMASTER.
The McKinley tariff was a powerful
factor iu the campaign and election that
are just over.
.lust think of the lessons it teaches
how many teachers there are, and how
far reaching the lesson taught.
To begin, the jobber goes to a manu
facturer or importer for his usual suppl;
of merchandise and learns that the price
of the articles he wants is considerably
higher, enough higher to make the ad
j vauce felt, and to make the jobber doubt
! ful of his ability to sell at the advance,
lie says to the manufacturer or importer
i that be fears the prices are too high -
The reply is, that the McKinley tariff
lias raised the price of the goods the
jobber wants. The importer is honest in
his assurtion that the advance is caused
by the increased tarilf; and the
manufacturer hero takes advantage of the
heavy duty on imported goods, and raises
the price of his products, thereby largely
increasing his profits. The jobber has to
pay the manufacturer just as much as he
would have to pay the importer. The
bill was passed to help the manufacturers
The jobber buys his goods, aud oiler,
them to the wholesale merchant. The
wholesale merchant at once discovers the
increase in the price, and endeavors to
get a reduction, but the wholesale mer
chant tells him that ho had to pay - a
heavy per cent, of advance on account of
th ■ McKinley tarilf bill, and he must
have more for his goods than they were
sold for last spring or last fal*.
Th« retail merchant and the wholesale
merchant have about the same colloquy
the retail merchant paying higher than
before for his stock.
Then the retail merchant, puts up his
new stock in city, town or <■ uintry, and
as his regular customers e. n to make
their usual purchases the; : i■ he prices
considerably higher than I ore, and
complain that the goods too high.
The retail merchant hot - . 1 / and truth
| fully tells his customers luat he wishes
he could sell cheaper, but the McKinley
bill haa caused goods to advance very
considerably, and he had to pay higher
than Jthe usual price for what he had
, bau 'ht.
So the lesson is taught all along the
| line, from the manufacturer and importer
to the smallest dealer in goods, ami from
the crowded marts of the groat cities out
to the very edge of population. The high
and the Ihw, the rich and the poor, are
all allected by the iniquitous levy of a
Itariil which helps but a very few men of
fee mdlions of the country.

TRIBUNE-OF-ROME, SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 8, 1890,
cratic party here for the small men and
demagogues who were building it np,
stood no chance of political preferment.
As to the statement that the alliance
went into Kansas with a platform practi,
cally democratic, the just reply to that ii
if the platform was the same in Georgia
and Kansas it went in with a platform
tat we cannot endorse in its entirety,
without giving up principles that we be
lieve to be democratic.
The claim of revolutionizing the repub
lican party in Kansas is a question yet to
be settled. But the Kansas alliancemen
are just as apt to act with the republi
cans as are the Georgia alliancemen to
act with the democrats. The only bops
there is of the Kansas alliancemen voting
as democrats is to be found in the lesson
of Tuesday’s election. The persuasive
[lower of a victory such as that is won
derful, and Kansas has been growing
democratic for sometime back, and the
same change of political opinion that in
creased the democratic representation in
congress by the number of s ; xty or
seventy, was the most potent factor in
causing the change iu Kansas.
McKinley and his bill.
In the defeat of William McKinley, of
Ohio, the new republican tariff bill has
been utterly condemned. All that the
party could do did not save him. Reed
canvassed his district in his interest,
Blaine spoke in his favor, Sherman lifted
up his voice in behalf of this shining
apostle of the gospel of public robbery,
Quay flooded his district with money to
corrupt the voters and the little
man in the White house deeply
sympathized with “ the little Napo
leon ” in Ohio in his struggle for
“vindication” and “indorsement.” They
all worked together, spoke together, at
tempted to deceive aud corrupt the voters
together, and t rey are all condemed tos
get her and with them is their party co-
