OLE wooLEN INpnSri2K

The fact that the WOolcns manufactured
in this country in 1870 are returned by the
census of that year as costing the producers
S155 4G5,O68, whereof tho Wool alone cost them
800, 489 COL, is reproduced by TIE Financier with
much ingenuity in an argument for Free Trade,
In 1916, says that journal, our manufacturers
claimed total capital of $1s,OOO,OOO invested
which produced Sl9,OO0,0O0 worth Of Woolens
per annum out of s7OOO0OO worth of Wool
In other words .aI
The manufacturers return to their CONSUME
ers twice the value in Cloth for each pound Of
Wool that they formerly did. 1t seems to us
that this is progress in the right direction
that is TO say, much cheaper fabrics as a re-
suit Of Protection than when that policy had
scarcely been applied to Woolens. The Wool
which in 1916 cost 30 per cent. of the value OF
the Cloth made from il, cost 81 per cent IN
1860 and so per cent. in 1870. AS The FERdncer
says, these facts " stril1ngly mark the fact
of a lessened cost Of manufacture as com
spared with the cost Of the raw MATERIAL !, /
{. A movement is now made on the part of
certain manufacturers, whereof MFR. Edward
Harris is master-spirt, to procure the ad 7
mission Of all Wool free Of duty, in return for
which they are willing to submit TO a redue-
ton Of all duties on Woolens to uniform
rate of 25 per cent This movement asserts
that the cost of clothing in this country is so
per cent. higher than in Europe. The pro
posed change is expected to reduce this ex-
cess by one-half. That it would also diminish
the farmers mducement to grow Wool, by
reducing the price of that staple, is admitted.
And how will the revenue be affected by it'll
We cannot pay orr great Debt out of nothing
The measure affects so many substantial in
terests that it will not prevail without the
gravest consideration.

NJ TBIERs AND THE REPUBLIC.


1t is greatly to be regretted that NJ. Theirs,
whose administration has been on the whole
so salutary and 80 discreet, should think it
worth while to resort so often to measures of
arbitrary authority and of more than doubtful
legality. There are few intelligent people out
side of the Government of France, we presume,
who do not think it grave mistake to con-
tinue the imprisonment, the prosecution, and
the shooting of those unhappy and obscure
Communists who still remain in the hands of
the authorities. 1t is not possible that they
should be feared any longer. The Government
which quelled the victorious revolt has GER
tainly nothing to fear from the weak and help
less survivors. If these unfortunate beings
are tried and shot for the influence of the ex-
ample upon the inhabitants of Paris. the pur-
pose is equally futile. The heroic death of
ROssel the defiant bearing of Ferre, both in
spired the tenderest sympathy and the warmest
admiration. The men of letters and men of
science on two continents were outraged at
the sentence of Elis6e ReoIus, and joined
in a petition for his release, the Americans
requesting that he might be exiled to America,
if he we're not allowed to remain in France.
There is no question that the immediate re-
mission Oh lIle SeUIcuCts Oh I'LL Jue
would strengthen rather than damage the Gov
eminent. But this Is hard lesson to be
learned by one educated in the school where
NJ. Theirs acquired his political training.
The Punishment of Prince Napoleon was
another apparently useless exercise of ar
bitrary power Prince Napoleon Jerome is
man at once too sluggish and too frank for a
cOnspirator. He is an orator, and little of
what the French call poSeur-a prince who
strikes attitudes of democracy. He is of that
well known school of younger brothers who
would make passable despots if they were the
head of the family, but are theoretical radi-
Gals while they remain cadets. He liked
nothing better than to make speeches in
favor of freedom in the Senate unless it was

the Emperor. They called him the Red
Prince, but he was never sans-culotte
enough to divide the revenues of the
Palais Royal with his brother democrats
lie held his august Senior in hearty contempt
considering him no gentleman and no Bona
parte, and was detested and little feared by
the Emperor ia turn, who at Last eInancipated
himself from his brilliant relative by the pub
lie disayowal Of one of his speeches. A strong
man, thus aiionted, might have built up "a
formidable party among Tie fmperalsts them

The overwhelming majority by which Gen.
Grant has been elected ia variOusy regarded
by the leading journals from whose columns
we from day to day make selections. Those
which contributed to and rejoice over that
triumph of course esteem il a signal illustra-
ton of the sagaeity and patriotism Of the
American People. The defeated on the other
hand, draw quite different conclusions and in
dulge in doleful nosticatiOns.5 The more
independent and dispassionate, of whatever
party or of no party, dwell with emphasis on
tho fact that reforms in administration are
urgently demanded and insist that the result
shall not be permitted to oyerbear or obscure
that truth. For, now that Mr.. Greeley's lack
of fitness or of popularity can no longer be in
voked as make-weight, the Administration
must be upheld by it's own intrinsic worth, no
longer by the alleged faults of others And
we note a practical unanimiy among leading
journals of all shades in cOndemning Mr.. Bout
wells recent expansion of the Greenback cir
culatiOn as a dangerous exercise of question
tiOnable if not usurped power. That any one
man, even though he were President, should
be authorized to make money scarce OF abund-
ant at his own unchecked discretion, is a
proposition which needs only to be stated to
insure its condemnation. And the fact that
the Secretary, in issuing S5,OOO,OOO of Green
backs and buying up bonds to like amount
increases the National Debt by more than Half
a Million Dollars, should of itself brand the
policy of Currency Expansion unregulated by
law On this subject, there seems to be no
serious difference of opinion. IL .....
May we not hope that the close of the late
canvass marks the opening of a new era,
wherein public measures of grave moment
shall be judged without prejudice and either
approved or condemned according to their in
trinsic worth 7 Why should not a journal
bestow praise or censure according to mertF
Why not make public opinion more powerful
by aiding to make it more discerning and
just I
The Opposition will be weak in numbers in
either branch of the next Congress. That
weakness is a source of peril to those in power,
who are often tempted thereby to engage in
projects which "the sober second thought"
condemns II was the smallness of Gen.
SCOTS electoral vote that rendered possible
the introduction under Pierce of the Nebraska
UIn as u Democratic parry measure. Ana, II
any genuine Civil Service Reform shall now
be effected, the Opposition, in and out of Con-
gress, must largely contribute to its success
Abuses are rarely eradicated by the spon-
taneous action of the party which enjoys a
monopoly of their profits. And politicians
who have just triumphed Overwhelmingly are
too apt to forget the pledges of reform which
won them their victory.
The short session just at hand will witness
the disappointment of many just expectations
May we trust that the abolition of the Frank
ing Privilege will have early consideration
That privilege was never before so grossly
abused as in the late canvass. Surely, its end
shOnld be near.

OnR NEW LEGISLITURE.

One year ago, Legislature was chosen
whereof nearly three ourths of the members
were Republicans whence it was confidently
deduced that it would be devoted to Retrench-
ment and Reform. That expectation was not
realized. A new Assembly, as strongly Repub-
lican, has now been chosen ; and again we are
assured that Reform has achieved great tri-
umph.
Let us wait and see. If the things left un-
done last Winter shall be thoroughly accom-
plished now, this Legislature will earn the
good name which its predecessor failed to Sc
cure.
1t was broadly asserted last Winter that the
wheels of Reform were blocked by Greeley
Republicans" That was not so, as an exami-
nation of the journals will show. At all events,
the excuse will not serve this Winter.

To an impartial iOoker-on, however, tho
most suggestive and picturesque Of rchsio US
cOmbats now in progress is between the German
Professionals, headed by Bismarck, and tho
Jesuits. Not only have the Jesuits ridden
boldly ND to Bismarck, In response to his
attack upon them, and struck his sirield with
the sharp point of the lance, declaring war
poutrance, but they make use of the occasion
to define the authority Of Church and State,
limiting the rule of Protestant William within
bounds as narrow as the most imperousiy

TIE CITY GOYERNMENT.

The methods of municipal reform, during
the next year. will be the subject of great
deal of discussion, and much of it is certain
to be loose and unfruitful. When the present
charter was under debate, honest citizens
hoped that it would give responsible head to
the City Government whom we could praise
if things went right and call to account if
things went wrong. How entirely it failed to
give anything of the kind, many do not even
yet understand. The chief result of all that
has been said on the subject is that to-day
hardly anybody knows just how the municipal
administration is carried on.
Mr.. Havemeyer will be expected to effect
many reforms, some of which perhaps are be-
yond his power, while others unquestionably
are not. In our paper this morning will be
found clear explanation of the Mayors
position in the City Government, as ii is now
established. This may prove useful not only
in showing us what we have right to de-
mand of him, but also in pointing out the
changes in the law which may wisely be asked
of the next Legislature.
In such contingency as the present, too,
the opinions of the gentlemen who compose
the various Municipal Commissions are of spe-
clal value AS Iar as they Affect the questions
under discussion, and can be discreetly given,
The TRIBUNE places these opinions before its
readers to-day. Anxious eyes are turned to-
wards the Legislature, and there is q natural
and very general expectation that that body
will early lay its hand upon our City Govern
ment. 1t is gratifying, however, TO observe
that all the Commissions have absolute
confidence in the independence, probity,
and public spirit of the newiy-elected
Mayor Some partisan scheme is very naturally
anticipated from the Legislature, but the re

RELIGIOUS MATTERS ABROAD.


While the Americans, during the last three
months, have been busy with politics, religion,
or rather religious differences, in Europe have
taken the place of lacking wars to serve as
an escape-valve for all fermentation among
the people. This is especially the case in
France, where the mass of the country people,
conquered before they quite knew they were
fighting, are still struggling and protesting
desperately against defeat, and catching at
any plank to keep the waters from closing
finally over their heads. In September
vast and enthusiastic multitudes repaired
to La Salette in honor of miracle
said to have once taken place there, and a
similar pilgrimage is now made to Lourdes in
remembrance of an apparitiOn of the Virgin
which it is claimed once appeared to a little
girl at that place, to confirm the doctrine of
the immaculate Conception. Two weeks ago
upward of forty thousand worshipers, with
eight archbishops and bishops, assembled in
the villageito sing hymns in honor of the Pope,
our Lady of Lomdes, and the SORROWS of af-
flicted France. We suspect the latter cause
touched them more nearly home than any
dogma of immaculate Virgins or infalhble
Wears. especially as we learn that the banner
of Aisace and Lorraine, when it appeared in
procession draped IN mourning, was greeted
with the proiOundest emotion and threats of
of revenge.

it was than the noise of the largest shell fred dur

that was by no means the end of the matter. for
explosion followed which shook the solid EARTH and

was a proportionately loud one.
