I do not believe that the full effect of the bill will be felt before the first of January. Of course the mer- chants don’t propose to lose any- thing, and the burden of the ad vance must be borne by the consume extent of about cent course the business is damaged and not protect cord ing to the claims of its friends, and at the same time the cheap hosiery, such as is used by the poor people, ed, as the bill was intended, a ers.

F. Crow said: “I have not yet advanced my prices and don’t intend to as long as my present stock lasts but of course I will have to come to it after a while. When the present stocks of the dealers are exhausted the advance in prices will be very noticable. As is usual- ly the case the poor man will be the sufferer. The very towel on which he wipes his face, i’ indeed he can afford a towel at all after the full ef fects of the McKinley bill are felt, will cost him 25 per cent more than heretofore. The laborer who form erly lived on $1.25 8 day will now not be able to live on $1.75, and as yet I have not heard of any advance in the wages of the workingman as a result of the bill, although many of their necessaries have advanced materially. As far as 1 can see the new tariff law has had but one good effect, and that has been that it has been the means of showing to many republicans the foolishness of their party policy. About 9 out of 10 traveling men who come into my store, who were formerly republi- cans, now say that the folly of pro tection is now seen by them, and that in the future they intend to vote the democratic ticket. While, of is avery bad oue for the mass of the| people of the country. I am sorry it passed congress and hope that in wome way it will be repealed.” PERNICIOUS EFFECT OF PROTECTION Mr. Franklin, of the Barr dry “oy law goods company, said: posed to the new tariff on an entirely different ground from most people. am op Laying aside the fact that it will advance prices of necessaries of life, which of it will do, and assuming for the sake of the argument that it will be beueficial for the manufacturers course of the coun try, as its friends claim it will, there is avery grave doubt in my mind, whether or not the building up of large manufacturing industries and au benetit to the communities are country Tu fact I think T ean say that Tam of the opinion that they are not.
