Mckinley's Free List.

A correspondent who describes himself ai “Ore on the Fence" asks us to publish a list of the principal articles on the free list of the bill prepared by Major Wm. McKinley, of Ohio, and tha business syndicate for which he works. Here is the list; Snails, uncut diamonds, catgut, acorns, dragon’s blood, leeches, dlvi-dlvi. birds, bladders and turtles. The “paupor labor" of Europe Is also free, but tne Major left It off of hts list. If our friend Is thinking of descending from the fence we can show him the best place to alight In.—New York World.

McKinley Compliments rhlladelplilan*. Major McKinley paid a great compliment to the intelligence of Philadelphians when tie spoke there the other evening. He said not a word about the foreigner paying the tariff tax. This is a significant and serious omission to tho Democrats, who may yet have to do their campaign work if the Major makes this omission permanent. Perhaps he has been reflecting on the result of the Vermont election since he explained to the Green Mountain boys his beneficent scheme for fleecing foreigners.

Since silk plush has gone out of fashion the silk mills in Bradford, £ngland, and in Bridgeport, Conn., have stopped making it. It doesn’t pay to make goods for which there are no buyers.

It often happens that great men stumble when they descend from generalities to particulars. Mr. Harrison would have been wise if, like Mr. Peck, he h«d burned his particulars. —Philadelphia Record.
