THE TARIFF ON CUTLERY.
Why the Trna* Can Dict?t? Sacb Out
- ; rageously High. Duties.
One of the worst schedules in tbs
Dingley bill is that relating to cutlery
-especially pocket cutlery. The ditties
<m pocketknives range from 100 per
cent to 300 per cent above present du?
ties and are nearly double those in the
McKinley bill. Why, yon will ask, are
these duties so extraordinarily high:
And why are they allowed to remain
there? Both questions are easily an?
swered.
It is unnecessary here to go into de?
tails. Before McKinley's nomination
one of the five cr six large manufactur?
ers of pocket cutlery, who was prom?
inent in the trust, which raised prices
an average of about 35 per cent under
the McKinley bill, began to hustle foi
McKinley. He is said to have raised a
large sum of money by passing the hat
among the 20 or 25 cutlery manufactur?
ers. Just how the money was spent is
not known. It is probable, however,
that several McKinley delegates to St
Louis owed their presence there to this
fund. The hat passer himself was one
of the. very few delegates from New
York who was fer McKinley first, last
and all the time. He was one of Han?
na's most trusted lieutenants. One cf
. the two favors which, he is said to have
. asked as compensation for his valuable
services was the fixing of the cutlery
. schedule. This privilege, being an ordi?
nary and expected one under the protec?
tion system, was readily granted by the
power behind the throne. ,This is prob?
ably the whole story. It explains fully
why the duties are there and why they
"will stay there.
Below is given in detail some of the
effects of the proposed duties as applied
to importations for the last fiscal year.
Of course but few knives will be im
. ported under such exorbitant duties.
PROPOSED SCHEDULE.

Hit the Wrong Party.
Jackson's Protection Prophecy.
The corporations and wealthy indi?
viduals who are engaged in large man?
ufacturing establishments desire a high
tariff to increase their gains. Design?
ing politicians will support it to concil?
iate their favor and to obtain the means
for profase expenditure for the purpose
of purchasing influence in other quar?
ters. Do not allcw yourselves, my fel?
low citizens, to be misled in this sub?
ject It is a system of injustice, and if
persisted in will Jead to corruption and
must end in ruin.-Andrew Jackson in
His Farewell Address.
