MONDAY OCTOBER 261891.
Ney York republicans are very
generally registering this year. They
will give a good account of them-
selves Nov. 3rd.
There will be a lot of very sadly
disappointed aspirants for office in
Ohio and lowa and New York next
November and they will find any
number of political bosses out of a
job to sympathize with them.
Parties with wheat to sell did not
take Donnelley’s advice but sold
their wheat find that they did not
miss it very much. The farmers gen
orally find Donnelley’s advice a good
thing not to take.
The proiestant minister who can
hit upon no other way of filling his
pews but by advertising a diatribe
against Catholicism has very little
ground to consider himself called to
preacti at all.
The ecumenical council is over and
if it has done more it has very effec-
tually revealed the great diversity of
opinions that obtain in the pan-
Methodist world. English and Amer-
ican ideas of religion seem as far
apart as their idets of politics.
The friends of Ireland will reap
very little consolation from Balfour’s
appointment as first lord of the
treasury and tory leader of commons.
The meeting of German socialists
at Erfurt is remarkable for its protest
against the nihilism of some of the
members who found the atmosphere
so uncongenial that they withdrew;
and also tor its strong and manly
protest against the burdens which
militarism entails upon the laborers
of Europe. This conservatism of sc-
cialism is growing and the more it
dominates the socialistic movement
the more respectable does it become.
The socialist vote has grown since
1871 from 101927 to 1341587 iu 1890.
The party that can poll such a vote
and has so grown despite all efforts of
imperialism to check it must have an
important influence on German af-
airs.
Minneapolis and St. Paul have
buried their rivalries in a common ef-
fort to secure the holding of the next
National Republican convention at
the “big flour city.” Minneapolis
gives §50000 and St. Paul $lOOOO
for the expenses of that meet-
ing conditioned upon Minneapo-
lis being selected. It seems
from the dispatches that Minnesota
is quite certain of securing thecoveted
prize at the hands of the national ex-
ecutive committee but if either Chi-
cago or Cincinnati bid very strongly
for the honor of entertaining the con-
vention it will not likely go to Min-
naapolis this time on account of loca-
tion if for no other reason.
A FEW COLD FACTS.
The influence of the McKinley bill
in advancing prices has formed the
theme of democratic speech and edi-
torials until many even among re
publicans have grown restive under
the charges aud ready to confess their
correctness. It is so much easier to
assert than to disprove that the dem-
acratic assertions have been permitted
to go unchallenged and the impres-
sion has thereby become strengthened
that the effect of the McKinley bill
has been to increase the prices ot the
articles enumerated under the sched-
ule while in fact it has had no such
effect at all. Comparisons are pro-
verbially odious and yet by compari-
son alone can the truth be demon-
strated.
The New York Press has given for
nearly a year specific attention to
this matter of prices as ranging in the
New York marKet and from there the
following facts appear: Indigo blue
prints which before the McKinley
tariff took effect were selling at 6 1-2
cents now sell for 5 1-4; browo cotton
fl innels sold at 7 cents wholesale un-
der the old schedulethey sell.for 6 1-2
under the new; duty was increased
on silvered plate glass aud yet in May
1890 it sold for 44.2 cents a square
foot while in May 1891 it sold for 41.8.
McKinley bill advanced duty on flax
and hemp and yet the price lists show
a reduction on price in 85 out 150
sizes and grades of twines yarns
shoe threads etc while the other 65
showed no advance. Red flannel
bought by the governmnent for the In-
dian bureau in 1881 cost 33.2 cts under
protection policies it was reduced
to 26.82 in 1890 and under the Mc-
Kinley bill a better grade is bought
by government today for 26.50. En-
velopes that pay a duty of 25 cents
per M. have dropped from 68 cents
psr thousand to 47 cents. Sheetings
which sold for 5.25 cents a yard be-
fore the new tariff took effect now sell
for 3.75. Imported hay pays $4 per
ton under the new tariff instead of $2
as under the old but while the im-
portations have fallen over 2100 tons
the price paid for imported hay has de-
clined fromsB.2s to $6.65. The Amer-
ican Wool Cotton and Financial Re-
porter says: “there are lines of
domestic transferred seamless goods
ranging for ladles from $1.75 to $2
that will bear comparison with any-
thing imported to sell at $1 90 to $2.
The McKinley bill increased the
duty on linen thread from 40 to 45
per cent and yet domestic button
linen threads in a short time after
the passage of the bill were reduced
from .55 toso cents and other threads
in proportion. Albumenized paper
pays increased duty from 15 to 35 per
cent under uew tariff’aud prices have
dropped from $3B per ream to $34 per
ream. Higher duties under the new
tariff cut imports of woolen clothes
from 1192.458 pounds in May 1890 to
687720 pounds in May 1891 but prices
have not advanced the quotations
measured by Imports being 8.86 cents
a pound last year and 8.35 cents this
year.
Prices of farmers goods show the
same good results. Plow steel costs
5 cents less per pound now than in
1880. Barbed wire costing 10 cents in
1880 costs 4 cents now. A Strowbridge
seeder costing $35 in 1880 now costs
$l3. The wheelbarrow that ten
years ago cost $2.2-5 now costs $1.65.
The farm wagon in ten years has
dropped from §B5 to $5O. Helf binders
costing $315 in 1880 cost $l3O in
1891. The average price of
barley in eight farming states
last February was 38.5 cents per bush-
el; in eight manufacturing states
same date 60 cents. Corn March 2
last in eight farming states 24 cents;
in eight manufacturing states 51
cents. That the raising of duties on
imports has not cut ofl exports of
breadstuff's is seen from the fact that
the average wheat export per annum
from 1885 te 1889 was of the value of
§22887981 while the exports or 1890
were $22614852.
These are but a very meagre
sample of the facts set forth for the
enlightenment of the farmers of Ohio
and lowa and upon which a favor-
able verdit is confidently expected at
the polls on the first Tuesday in No-
vember next.
MoNeY cheaper and rates lower in
New York aud no squeeze notwith-
standing the amount of money sent
west to move crops is a very satisfac-
tory condition of affairs.
Governor Hill favors free coinage
because that is more in accordance
with the democratic sentiment but
he does not say very much on the
subject because that is not good poli-
tics in the present condition of divid-
ed sentiment of that question.
