"A life long Republican." whose
business has been ruined and the
labor and study of a lifetime annir
hilated by the McKinley tariff, and
who, consequently, has plenty of
leisure for literary pursuits, .has
composed and published a pamph
let entitled ''McKinleyisai and the
False Prophets of Protection." It
analyzes the business conditions of
the country since that bill became a
law and it finds the following facts:
(1) The public revenue from cus
toms duties has declined $47,000,000
in eight months. The public expen
ditures during this period have in
creased. '
(2) The total number of mercan
tile failures in the United States has
increased 11 per cent, in the 6
months after the passage of the Mc
Kinley bill. The liabilities of the
failed firms have . increased during
t hp same period 47 per cent. P-En-
CftNTRA, the amount of libiiities of
failed firms in Canada, where all the
conditions of trade are like our own
. V tr r l i t
except as 10 rucivinieyismj nave de
creased 2i per cent, during the same
time.
(3) The number of failures from
January 1 to October 1, 1891 i. e.,
since the McKinley bill went into
operation has been greater than in
any other year during the past de
cade, being 8,866. The highest
number during the decade other
than this was in 1885, following the
panic of 1884, when it was 8,433
(4) The volume of1 business, as
shown by bank clearings, has fallen
off 11 per cent, in six months, since
the McKinley bill went into opera
tion. The shrinkage in clearings
during that tim8 has been more than
63,000,000.
(5) A blow ha3 been struck at the
prosperity of New York city by the
McKinley bill, and this was inten
tional on the part of the framers of
the bill, because New York is the
chief entrepot of foreign trade. This
blow is represented by a decline of
33. per cent in new buildings in the
city during, the past seven months.
(6) The general prosperity of the
country has been cut down 35 per
cent. This is. shown by a shrinkage
of that amount in the consumption
of pig iron, which is the best avail
able test of the general prosperity of
the country.
(7) Finally, the McKinley bill
crushed the Republican party in the
last national election under a popu
lar majority of more than three mil
lion votes. The writer does not men
tion this circumstance as a calamity
although he was a Republican him
self up to thuttime.

Norfolk, Va., Oct. 29. Col. L. L.
Polk, President of the Farmers' Alli
ance, in speaking at Elizabeth CH37,
N. C, to-day, said in part: "t have
known farmers to leave their crops
knee high in grass to go to the court
house and 6r hours sit in a hot
room to hear pothouse politicians
speak .md tell them to stick to the
party. Tbiey slick, and the dance
of death goes on. After tlectmn-b;
day, the speaker said, all is darkness
down here. What of the night?
and the answer comes, "all is well,
plow on." They talk about politics;
the Ajjmnce js as full of politics as
egg is fu.ll of meat. Yes, sir, we
are into politics and in there to stay.
They talk about party. , What is
party ? It is a nice little collar with
a chain. I don't care who is nomi
nated. 1 will vote as I please.
Who has a patent right on politics?
It depended on whether either par
ty recognized the farmers as the bal
ance of power whether there would
be a third party. The people have
risen in their might and assert that
they have a right to help rule the
country' and they are going to do

, Col. Polk then advocated the sub-
treasury bill, and when he called for
pledges to support it nearly every
hand went up. He said eighteen
States were pledged to his scheme.
