| Show A NEW CRIME President HARRISON has written a letter telling the public he cant sea why everybody every-body will not take the word of the protectionists protec-tionists about making tin plate and other things in this country Evidently it waa disagreeable to the Piqua compositioa rooffing makers who claimed to be making tin to have their deception shown up The people of the country have been so much in the habit of being deceived by the eastern manufacturers both with regard to their goods and their figures that when we begin be-gin to look a little into their pretensions with a view of protecting ourselves against fraud and impositions the other side exhibit signs displeasure And Mr HARRISON is so anxious to be reelected by the help of the high tariff beneficiaries that he wants them to be let down He thinks people oughtnt to laugh when their tricks are exposed but that this amusement should be left to the people In Wales and to other foreigners B H wants us all to be silent and only wink at efforts to sell us bogus goods at double tho old tariff Ve must sit up take our medicine and look pleasant for fear we will give the snap away to the pauper Welshmen and th < naughty Britishers whose forefathers tried to take away our liberties i some time back It will bo I a great step when we produce our own tin says the President and it scams to him that nothing can thwart this unless it be a lack of faith in the maintenance of tho present law No repeal no modification of the McKiXLsr act no competitive trade no liberty of the American people to buy in the cheapest markets I And when the manufacturers of a poisonous compound of old iron and galena stamp it as tin we must all be ready to swear it is tin and not add to tho mortification of the failure the crime of rejoicing in ttJ The crime of rejoicing re-joicing And what is to be the punishment to suit this crime Disfranchisement is probably the very least that can be thought of |
