They are in favor of retiring the legal tenders. They are in favor of depriving the people of money. They are in favor of an Asiatic tariff. built up by a difference of exchange. whereby the Asiatics and all silverstandard countries have at least 100 per cent advantage in the markets of Europe. McKinleyism means what? It means to maintain the Asiatic tariff against American farmers. It means to build up for a special privileged class a tariff high enough to protect the manufacturers of the East. It means to make the necessaries of life dearer and dearer to the producers of this country. It means to make the products of the unprotected labor bf this country cheaper and cheaper. It means to put the farmer in competition with 800.000.000 coolies. who are competing with him in the European markets. It means to impoverish the farmer. No one seeis to protect him. I have been a protectionist and I have advocated protection. but I never dreamed that the party to which I belonged would abandon the producers of this country and build up a protection entirely in favor of the millions of coolies and see the struggling masses of this. country reduced to powder. I never believed that. Why. the first move in protection is to equalize exchange. to give our people money. to make it possible to manufacture in different parts of the country.
