One of the first fruits of the high tariff is the lowering of the wages of cappers in a canning establishment in Indianapolis, That’s a fruit the cappers didn’t want to can.

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. que i.on < omes up at every mo > why was this additional cost added ■Bo common articles use by all the QP-thy . -Hyng the poo advanced, 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- i > p ■ K» Wl ' ■I ' ■B i' K Irf'*"'''>'l Ol ■ ' kU ■ ■; vfi 'te ' IS CLOAKS!
