Petition Against McKinley Tariff On Coal Draws Western Aid
The Manufacturers' Association of San Francisco petitions Mr. Dingley to decline restoring the McKinley tariff on bituminous coal. Pacific coast industries join New England in opposing tolls on labor products. The coal levy fears killed the New England iron industry and California firms now fear a return to McKinley rates. Will the Republican Congress heed this appeal from Eastern and Western manufacturers.

He has voiced blunt opinions about Weyler, though a diplomat would temper language in office.
