could have bought the same tor IN
Chicago.
Who then clamors for free wool !?
First, one Edward Harris, an east
ern millionaire who is able to
carry a stock of million dollars
for year and is in nowise depend
ent on middlemen to sell his goods.
He has got rich by making classes Of
goods which we now purchase more
economically from our own factories,
who now have him at an advantage
despite all his wealth. Remove the
tariff and with free wool and shoddy
he alone would be more than match
for all the seventy wooilen mills OF
Wisconsin. He appeals to the preju-
dices of the poor by saying that the
tariff taxes thin, coarse goods from
IS to 1lS per cent, while it taxes the
fine clothes of the rich but 80 or
60 per cent. We defy him to prove
that the "coarse goods of the poor
man" are l per cent. dearer in the
West because OF the tariff. He may
pile up percentage as much as he
pleases, he cannot frighten us, for
money, labor, and wool alike com
mand more and better clotL than
under free trade.
This class OF manufacturers who
want to be monopolists have always
been tree traders. Said one of them
in Philadelphia, before the war:
II want no increase Of the tariff,
for the effect will be simply to start
mills in the West and South to COM
pete with me, and to raise wages. l
can now hire all the help want at
my ow prices"
Truly spoken, for. that has just
been the result Of the present tariff
on wool and woolcns, the most eauit-
able and beneficial, take it all in all,
that ever was framed.
The second class who want free
wool and unlike Mr.. Harriss, free
woolens as well, arc foreign import
ers of New York City whose right
eous souls are daily vexed that our
western farmers can carry home from
the factory near by all the woolens
they need in the same lumber wag
on that brought the wool, thus ac-
tually robbing them of market for
their shcddy, and paying not pen
nv Of tribute to useless middlemen,
where under free trade they pay
millions.
The third class who want free
trade in wool is composed of what
were known as 'copperheads" dur
ing the late war, who were very glad
OF any new ISSUE which shall make
the public oblivious of their war re
cord, together with certain political
speculatiors, who find this the most
convenient means OF crushing Gen.
Grants administration and securing
the spoils OF Office.
The issue is between all American
wool growers, together with the
National and Western Wooden Man
ufacturcr's Association on the one
hand, and few rich manufacturers
Of the East, few useless middlemen,
aud few selfish. scheming polit:-
clans on the other. +. B. NoRToy.

The Free Trade League ana Nr. Ali.
Aon.

There is an organization in the
city of New York called the Free
Trade League, The funds to sus-
tain its operations are contributed
mainly by English manufacturers
and their agents in New York, as =
publication OF list Of such contrib.
utors recently showed. Last year
the Free Trade League did its best
to defeat all Republican candidates
for Congress who were not Free
Traders. Having succeeded in de-
feating Gen. Schenck IN Ohio, Mr..
Greeley in New York. and few
others, and disrupting and defeating
the Republican party in Missouri,
the League gave 4 dinner in New
York in honor OF their achievements.
Horace White, of the Chicago Trib-
une, VIM. NJ. Grosvener. of the Mis-
souri, Democrat, Erastus Brooks, Of
the New York Express. Manton Mar
BILE, Of the World, and great many
others who were anxious to break up
the Republican party, and few who
were not, we trust, including Hon.
VIM. B. Allison, of Iowa, were the
invited guests. Mr.. Allison did not
attend but wrote letter Of sympa-
thy and congratulation. During that
same congressional canvass this FREQ
Trade League sent one Shriner
stumping over the 4th district Of this
State to aid in the attempted defeat
of Gov. Walden and the election Of
VIM. T. Smith, his Democratic oppo-
nent. Some months later the same
organization sent Gen. Brinkerhoff, Of
Ohio, out here to instruct the people
of Iowa on the tariff and had him ri-
loted round the State by. the notori-
ons Copperhead, Will Porter, of Des
Moines (the same who is now writ
ing up Mr., Allison). We should ex-
pect Mr.. Allison to be in high favor
with the Free Trade League, and we
are not surprised to find the organ
of that organization, The Free-Trad-
er, do it's best for him In its last
issue 1t informs US that sin Iowa, the
free trade question is entering large
ly iuto the canvass OF State 60 Sena-
ator," and that "lhe tavorite Repub-
llcan candidate is VIM. 3. Allison,
late Representative from Iowa, the
only Republican Free-Taader on the
former Committee OF Ways and
Means"
It is a significant fact that Mr.. Al
lison is tho favorite of all the ene-
mics Of the Republican party, wheth-
er open or secret, and he doubtless
has reasons satisfactory to himself
tor maintaining studied silence
while his friends trumpet his name as
an enemy to the National Republi-
can Administration This ccursa
may continue Mr.. Allison IN the
favor OF the enemies of the Republi-
can party, but wo do mt believe it
will help him with the sound and al
ways reliable Republicans Of Iowa.

fiOM.

During the Convention last Sat
urday five ladies' came in and took
seats for the purpose of watching the
proceedings. As they came in they
were received with loud applause it
being the first thing of the kind in
this section of the country. Never
before has lady dared to show her.
self at such gatherings, and this was
considered by some bold step, and
looked upon as out Of place. and if
these ladies did not accomplish any
thing else they did establish one fact
and that is that their presence had
good effect upon the actions OF that
Convention, the same as it would
have on all similar occasions. Mrs.
Flagg, the lady candidate for the Of
fee OF Superintendent Of schools was
among the ladies present, and when
the nomination for that Office was
about to be made offered some very
appropriate remarkably far the best
offered during the convention. Her
remarks were pointed, and her argu-
ments conclusive. She did not pre-
sent her claims or ask any favors on
account Of her beng woman but
because of her fitness for tho posi-
ton. She did not assume that tho
Office was rightfully and lawfully
hers, but she asked as favor that
she might be nominated. To Ger
tain extent she might have been con-
sidered egotlstica!, but to falr-
minded person it must be apparent
that what she said was not only in
place, but necessary for the occasion.
One gentleman OF the convention
wished it particularly understood
that he was woman's rights man
he had married two OF them, and
knew them to be all right tor GER
tain things, but he did not think
them just the thing for county super
,ntendents. As whole his remarks
could BE- hardly considsaed compli-
mentary, and we understand that the
ladies failed to appreciate the CON-
pliment. The lady was badly beat
en- in this political fight as she was
entirely unsophisticated in the art OF
wire pulling. After the nomination
had been made tor the long term
there yet remained short term to
be filled; this the convention would
have given her but she declined to
receive it at their hands. Although
she did not get the nomination she
achieved a victory, and wc predict
that the next time we nominate a
candidate for the Office of County
Superintendent it will be . woman.

is the correct spelling. The old
stagers tolerate no buttons on their
clothes, but fasten them with ortho.
dox hooks-and.eyes. The church got
into a wrangle lately, and large
force, who are bound to use buttons,
seeded on that issue and have built
new church, with FIVE oms,-one
for the mei,, one for the women snl
babies, one to worship in, one to eat
in, and the fifth for some other pur-
pose, we know not what. This
seems ridiculous to an outside bar
barian; but, then, let US not laugh
immoderately, for smler things than
buttons have, all through history,
played hob with churches, States,
communities and families"

completed Peters Period. On June
10Th he entered on the 25th year OF
his pontifcate, thus attaining to the

was the intention of many deyout
Catholics to present him with .
throne OF gold in commemoratlon ct
this day, and to offer him for his ac-

He declined the throne, suggesting

of the appropriateness OF giving
him so remarkable title during his

Here we have an illustration Of the
spirit which has made the South
poor, and,will keep 1t poor. In Es-
til county, Ky, a few years since,
Northern capitalists set up furnace
costing, 1t is said, $l,o0o,0oO, and
employing not only several skilled
workmen from the North but also
the laborers of the vlcinage. These
new corners were received by the
neighborhood in such hostile spirit
that they were unwilling to remain,
and the result is that the company
finds it difficult to carry on tho
works. Accustomed to live in an
orderly community, these artisans
will not stay where they may at any
time be subjected to violence aud
ln,llgnities, arc not allowed to say
what they think.
