Here are Two Views of the Matter.

“The blow aimed at British industry by the McKinley ta-iff bill is an entirely unprovoked act of unfriendliness, which must be recognized as Bueh,”—London Times. October 3. ••Why the Tariff Bill was Framed. As Major McKinley told his constitu* enls. the new tariff was not framed to please England or to promote her interests, but those of our own people. It is constructed in ultimate principle on exactly the lines of England’s treatment of us. She buys of us just what she must- and nothing more. She sells us all she can. W? mean to bdy of her what we must, and nothing more. We mean to make at home the tin-plate, the linens, the woolens, the cutlery, and the other articles we have taken frbm her by millions Of dollars’ worth, as the would do if she were in our place. And we mean to mind our own business in the matter of our legislation, and to ask her kind criticism only when we feel the need of it, which is net orten.”— Robjckt Ellis fItHOMFSOM. 1 |
