THE M’KINLEY PRICES

CONTINUE ON THE RISE. THE SWINDLERS PERSIST. The Indianapolis News (Republican Those “swindling merchants” who “ou ht to be boycotted,” according to the chai icterization of the McKinley newspapers for their “lying" about an advai.ce in prices for election purposes, still keep right on after the election. They insist that prices have risen, are rising and will rise on account of the McKinley bill. For instance a circular from Van Horne, Griffen 4 Co., a New York house; one of the best known in the trade, dated November 19, says: We are compelled to withdraw all former figures on enamelled, ground and colored glass, and hand you herewith our new price-list, on which the discount is 40 per cent. We regret to advance prices on these articles, but are compelled to by the enormous increase in duty imposed by the new tariff bill, known as the “McKinley bill.” As an example, the duty on enamelled and ground glass is advanced from 45 percent, to 140 per cent., besides obliging us to pay full duty on broken glass. Another of later date, from another firm, notifies the dental profession: The McKinley bill having raised the dut on plaid pin teeth of our manufacture from $17.50 to $52.50 perjl.ooo, we are unable (for the present) to import any further shipments of these teeth. We cannot, therefore, execute wholesale orders, but will continue to supply the profession at existing retail rates until our present stock is exnaxsted. Our pinless teeth we shall have to advance to the following rates, etc. In a Milwaukee, Wis., paper appears this advertisement: By act of Congress, October 1.1890, the tariff on cigars was increased $2 per pound, advancingthe cost from S2O to S3O per mills. We still bavesome goods which arrived prior to the operation of this act, and offer these at old prices for a limited time. And so the “swindling” business men keep up their conspiracy. They persist in telling the 65,000,000 people of the country that goods cost more because of the McKinley bill, and the consumer will have to pay it before he consumes, or else universally adapt Jay Gould’S advice to his supplies of everything, that “where he has heretofore had two suits he will have to get along with on<-."

CUTTING SAW TEETH.

Mr. E. Dickinson, of Sheffield, England, was one of the English delegates to the recent meeting of the Don and Steel Institute in New Qork. He has returned home, and has been talking about what he saw in America* He said be visited the saw and file manufactory of Disston & Sons at Tacony, Pa., and found there a machine for cutting and graduating saw teeth. A boy feeds the sheets into the machine, which cuts the teeth at the rate of 1,500 per minute. The success of this machine ir so great that Mr. Dickinson says he observed in the factory packages of saws addressed to England. And we are so foolish as to impose a McKinley tax on ourselves of 40 per cent, on hand saws in order to protect these successful manufacturers, who can sell their saws in England. Worse still, this duty is used to fortify a domestic combination or trust in the safe possession of the “home market."

RENSSELAER JASPER COUNTY. INDIANA FRIDAY DECEMBER 19. 1890.

•‘A FIRM ADHEBENCE TO CORRECT PRINCIPLES.”

THE PRICE OF CUTLERY.

An ordinary carving knife, which sold before the McKinley law went into effect for seventy-five cents, is now sold for ninety-five cents. A better knife which bore a pre-McKinley price of $1.50, is now sola at the MoKmley price of $1.79. A fifty cent pocket knife has now become a sixty-five cent knife, but the finer knives have advanced less, by reason of a relatively lower duty on these. A" $2 knife with a shell handle has advanced in price only twenty-five cents. About 10 per cent, has been added to the price of scissors. A sample case under McKinley’s cutlery duties will explain why knives have gone up. A dozen common knives costing sixty cents must pay an advalorem duty of 50 per cent., which equals thirty cents, and a specific duty of fifty cents, total eighty cents, or an equivalent of 133 per cent, ad valorem.

CLOAKS.

The manufacturers of cloaks acknowledge frankly that they have tacked on advances of 20 per cent, or more and they say the consumer is footing the bill. A representative of Schwab & Co. said to a reporter of the New York Commercial Advertiser: “The prices of cloaks, excepting the seal skin article, which, by the McKinley arrangement, can be sold at the old price have gone away up. Several dollarshave to be added to the price of the imitation seal garihents which most women wear. The manufacturers have to pay the McKinley tax; they pass it on to the retailers and the latter hand it over to t e consumers. Cloaks have gon up from $2 to $lO and more a garment. It is impossi-j ble and useless to conceal the fact."

HENRIETTA.

The Rockford (Ill.) Register, a Republican newspaper which opposed the measure before its passage and now attributes the party’s defeat to its folly in passing it, says that “the election is past, but the pric -increasing influence of the McKinley ta iff act is still with us. Circulars from w olesalers announcing rising prices still bur en the mails." As samples of these circ. tars the Register publishes the following -eceived by a Rockford merchant last wok: W. G. Hitchcock & Co., Importers & Commission Merchants, New York, Nov. 17. Dear Sir: We have your order this day for two pieces of S. W. Henrietta which we execute at old prices. Hereafter, and until further notice, the price of Henriettas will be advanced 10 per cent. W. G. Hitchcock & Co.

CARPETS.

John V. Farwell & Co , i Carpet Department, [• Chicago, Nov. 20. ) Dear Sir, Replying to yours of the 19th, will say that the body Brussels samples we sent you yesterday have advanced five cents per yard more. J. V. Farwell & Co., Per Phelps. John V. Farwell’s partner is Senator Charles B. Farwell, who is enthusiasticalls in favor of the McKinley tariff.

Churches contemplating Christmas Trees will do well by calling on King and learn prices before buying elsewhere.

A WONDER WORKER. Mr. Frank Huffman, a young man of Burlington, Ohio, states that he had been under the c re of two prominent physicians, and used their treatment until he was not able to get around. They pronounced his case to be C onsumption and incurable. He was persuaded to try Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds and at that time was not able to walk across the street without resting. He found before he had used half of a dollar bottle, that he was much better; he continued to use it and is today enjoying good health. If you have any Throat, Lung or Chest trouble try it.
