THE RECOIL OF McKINLEYISM.

The Republican Indianapolis News says: With reciprocity becoming familiarized by formal announcement and treaties there may come after a time an under* standing that there is a fundamental re* oiprooity in commerce whether formally recognized or not. That trade means buying as well as selling; that no nation can buy unless it can sell, unless somewhere in the clearing-house of the world it can deliver the things it buys and gat for them the things it wants. Protectionist organs have been exulting over the misery wrought upon some of the working people of Bradford, England, by the McKinley tariff in cheeking the imports of their manufactures hero. But, of course, if the industries of Bradford can't find patronage here they must go where they can, and for their patronage patronize in tuna. The Bradford folks, for example, must eat beef and wheat and corn that they do not produce, and they must buy them with the things they do produce. Not being able to buy them here by exchanging for them the things they do produce with our Western farm, ere they turn to Roumania, where they can do that thing, and the result is that Roumania is now selling more Indian com to England than England imports from the United States, This untoward tendency is beginning to manifest itself in the trade in other American products besides com. The McKinley bill is like the ancient fowling-piece that “kicked back" with more force than its discharge at themuzzlo. . Our Westemfarmershave got to pay for this enrichment of our mil-lionaire-manufacturers as usual.

UNCERTAIN CONTROL OF THE SENATE.

Will the Republicans control the Senate of the Fifty-second Congress? On the “face of the returns” they have a plurality of eight in that body and a majority of six. The question, however, is not disposed of by these figures. There are considerations entering into the matter which make Republican dominance extremely uncertain. If the tariff and free silver should come prominently before Congress next winter, and the probability is that they will, there is a chance that the majority which the Republicans have on the roll of membership will not present itself in the balloting. Some of the Republican Senators of the States west of the Mississippi care more for unlimited silver coinage than they do for the maintenance of the tariff. On the tariff question Peffer and Kyle, the two Farmers* Alliance men, will undoubtedly vote with the Democrats. Their affiliations, as well as their utterances since the election, leave no room for doubt on this point.— On the tariff these two men are virtually Democrats, and they will have to be counted with the Democrats in all calculations as to legislation affecting the customs. If the Democrats can, on this issue,' gain four Republican Senators, the Senate will pass out of the hands of the Republicans, and the Democrats will bear sway over the upper as well as the lower branch of Congress. The opposition which the McKinley bill met with from the Republican Senators of this section last year shows that this contingency is not remote or improbable. In one way, and in that way only, a Republican split can be avoided and legislation opposed by the bulk of the Republican party be prevented. The Republicans themselves, in the Senate, must prepare a bill making a moderate and safe reduction of duties and push it through that body. It is true their scheme may not prevail in the House or in the conference committee, but even if it should fail, the party line would still be held unbroken. This course is necessary for partisan as well as economic reasons. If it be neglected, at least half a dozen Republican Senatorial votes in the Northwestern States will undoubtedly be lost. The readiness with which the force bill was traded off for free coinage in the Fifty-first Congress is suggestive of the ease with which the tariff could be sacrificed for free silver next year. Of course, neither a sweeping Democratic cut in duties nor unlimited coinage wo’d be likely to obtain in the Senate the twothirds vote to carry it over the Presidential veto which they would encounter, but the existence of a deal which could send them to the President in the first place weuld be fatal to Republican harmony and enthusiasm, and seriously handicap the party in the Presidential campaign. The sentiment of the Republican masses in the West is overwhelmingly in favor of a discriminating and reasonable reduction of custom duties on many of the leading articles of importation, and if the party desires to maintain its sway in the Senate, to head off free trade and and to keep itself m shape to wage a successful canvass for the Presidency, it will give this sentiment the consideration which it demands.—St. Louis Globo Democrat.

TURPIE FOR PRESIDENT.

[Fort Wayne Journal.] The casual political observer will agree with us that ciroumstances now point to the nomination of a western democrat for bresident, and future developments will demonstrate not only the practicability, but the wisdom of the choice. The lam. eatable factional difficulties and the monetary influences that surround our eastern presidential idols threaten the integrity of the party and certainly impair its chances of success. The political situation in Indiana is much like that of New York and other close states—reliably democratic under wise and conservative management, without factional quarrels. The question of the near future is: Who are our available candidates for president and vice-president before the coming democratic national convention? Democrats everywhere are anxious to hear from Indiana. We have made a careful survey of the situation and of the capable men, and the Journal is of the opinion that the Hon. David Turpie, one of Indiana’s distinguished senators, is, all things considered, the most available man that Indiana can present. He has served in the senate of the United States with distinguished credit to himself and honor to the people of Indiana. He is in harmony with his part. on the tariff and silver questions, and is in touch with the people on all topics affecting their interests. He belongs to the Hendricks school of politics, and is not connected with any faction. His nomination and election would ereate a vacancy in the U. 8. senate. but this would be an element of strength to the party at the election, as it

would compel all democratic aspirants t work in harmony with the view of fiUi g the vacancy. His nomination, the Journal believes would unite all factions and insure the party every democratic vote, and this would be a guarantee of victory.

The New York Times calls attention to the fact that the copper mining companies have resumed their old practice of selling copper in Europe at prices lower than those which consumers in this country are required to pay. The Times says: Large quantities of Lake Superior copper have recently been sold abroad at 12J or 13 cents a pound, but the price of the same brands in this country is about 1 cent higher. These protected Lake Superior oopper millionaires are only doing what most protected manufacturers do—selling their surplusjproduct abroad for less than they sell it for to home consumers. This is one of the blessings (?) of protection to the home consumers!

T. E. Willson writes to the Indianapolis Sentinel: The total direct appropriations from the treasury made by the billion-dollar congress—not including debts saddled on the country for fifty years to come—were $1,009,000,000. The report of the department of agri culture for 1890 estimates the average value of the corn crop of the United States for the past eleven years at $676,714,286, and of the wheat crop at $368,442,611. It will take both the corn and wheat crops combined to pay for the luxury of having a republican congress—which represented only a minority of the voters. The billion-dollar congress has litterally taken the bread out of the mouths of the American people, for every bushel of corn or barrel of flour produced in this country last year represented merely the t ixes to be paid to meet the expenses imposed by it.

'RAH FOR McKINLEY.

TAKING THE BREAD.

Denver now boasts of the first Democratic mayor ever elected in that city.— Good for Denver. In the municipal elections in Ohio, the Democracy made considerable gains aU over the State. In Kansa- the women generally vote** the Democratic ticket. It is said the wives of many prominent Republicans voted for Democratic candidates. The cackling saint is evidently badly afflited with a guilty censuring censuring conscience. He does not admit that for a very small pittance he printed very small ‘dodgers' for a show company containing matter calculated to compromise the minister named therein, the denomination with which he is connected and his people, but from the delirium into which our short allusion has thrown him, we need no further admission—a guilty conscience needs no accuser. Our remarks, in the first place, were intended for whoever did the printing. We had not seen the little ‘boomrang, ’ and therefore was unable to locate its paternity; besides the Republican man joined with the people in bitter denunciation|of the comedy company for the part they had taken in perpetration of the “shabby trick' this, too, when, from the rage that has taken possession of him, it seems he had a part in the undertaking—that of printing the dodgers. It is not s matter of regret with our neighbor for the great wrong done, but fear of losing patronage which he boasts was carried past our office to his by our religious friends. We believe we have never solicited the work he refers to; where we find partisan preferences controlling we leave those under such inflence severely alone. Our neighbor seems to be following in the wake of one of his partisan, predecessors who regarded anything legitimate that promised to gratify his ambition or satisfy his hankcring for boodle. Will he prifit by tho example? v

Tke New York Press has been employ ed bylthe Carnegie monopolists to manufacture the “protection” grists hertofore furnished by the Home Leagpe, and the protection organs every week present to their readers the productions of that Concern, the points they desire to impress upon their readers heavily underscored. The following diagranj, from that source, recently appeared in the Rensselaer Republican: Yes, we do pretty well in leather goods and even export them. Our average exports of leather manufactures for five years (1885 to 1889) were $9,839,469, While in $12,438,847. And this increasing export is going on in spite of our wicked protection system. Now ,what are the facts? The raw material of leather—hides—was taxed at the custom houses 10 per cent, up to 1872. In that year tt was put on the free list. The experts of leather goods in 1872 amounted to $3,682,029, But the exports began to jump up the moment we put hides on the free list until in 1890 they amounted to Thus, in 1890, with their raw material on the free list, our leather manufacturers exported nearly four times as much of their products as they did in 1872, when their raw material was taxed. They gave employment to a correspondingly greater amount of labor and paid out a correspondingly greater amount of money In wages. What free raw materials have done for the leather industry they would do for all the other gj eat American industries. But what about the fearful and wonderful tariff diagrams of the New York Press?

Here is another specimen of the illustrated protection fictions diagramed by the New York Press for the readers of the Rensselaer Republican and other organs of that party: The average price of our imports of tiu in 1888 was 28 cents a pound, H ABBIS v Axnerican tin resources assured and the average import price for 1890 Wliß cents a pound. These Press diagrams are supposed to be highly impressive and very crushing, and are quite generally reproduced by the minor organs of monopoly. They are easily made. You simply draw two lines, one shorter than the other, to fit the fairy story you are telling, and the “printer does the rest.” In the above elegant extract, for instanee, the biack lines bear no possible relation to the facts. The price of tin-plate is now 15 per cent, higher than it was when the McKinley law took effect. The Indianapolis Journal, respnblican state organ, admits this, and in order to relieve the McKinley bill attributes the blame to a combine among the Welsh manufacturers. However, the tin-plate ciiagram of the New Yolk Press is just as truthful as its other diagrams. They are all built f the same way. Pekin Duck Eggs, for sotting purpose for sale by John Bchanlaub.
