MORE REAL McKINLEY PRICES.

All over the States and even into the manufacturing districts of France and England our articles on the Tariff have been quoted. We have had letters from varied and wide directions asking for desired proof of our assertions on the McKinley bill. We have gladly given them, and now to save further correspondence we must iusist on a visit to our place of business for further explanations. As an instance of the condition, without delaying to interpret the cause, we are selling regular 64x64 print at 6 cents. A year ago they were 7 cents; regular count gingham now 10 cents, a year ago 124 cents; 3 pound sheetings 7 cents, a year ago 8 cents; Nos. 4,5, 7,9, 12 and 16 silk ribbons 25 per ceut, less than a year ago. American hosiery 50 per cent. less. Underwear,Tan article of large consumjir ticra 10 per cent, less now. This is the dirge of the “McKinley prices” humbug. It isuotliing to the song we’ll soon sing o’er the grave of the “tin-plate liar.”— American Economist.
