Dogs and Sheen.


The slaughter of over one hundred
sheep along the line of the Wilmiueton
and Reading railroad. a few days ago, by
worthless dogs, Is causing to be discussed
the question which is now agitating the
Western and some of the Southern
States, viz: whether dogs. in sheep rails
ing communities, are not O nuisance that
should be abated by summary extermi-
nation. At late Western fairs other live
stock were well represented, but sheep
were remarkably scarce, the depreda-
tions OF dogs making it impossible to
raise them in some sections, so that they
have almost disappeared from the West
ern States. The owner OF ten thousand
sheep in Illinois has been obliged to send
them to Colorado. his neighbors' dogs
killing them at the rate of i've hundred
night in some instances. In Virginia
the damage done by dogs has made
sheep raising Improbable, the ours
hunting them down in packs like wolves.
Maryland also loses largely from sheep
killing dogs, and the loss throughout the
United States from this cause foots up
millions Of dollars annually. 1t seems
decidedly unfair that one Of the great
industries OF the country should be par
aiyzed by breed of animals which are
OF doubtful utility except in extreme ca
ses. and the suggestion OF sons OF the
losers that the sheep owners should band
together and hunt down the dogs may
yet be acted upon in some of the South
ern and Western States, and measures
equally officacious, though not so gene
raj, may become necessary in our own
State.-Reading Eagle. .'@

OLD Corn Or NEw?- good many in
quiries are being made about the prospect
that the new corn will bo graded any
thing better than new No. 3 before the
end Of the present year. The chief in
spector Ct grain states that the abolition
OF the word new" will not take place
until the 20th of April next, unless the
new corn should come in in such good
condition that the inspectors cannot tell
whether it is old or new, in which case
the grain will take the benefit Of the
doubt. 1t seems, therefore, that while
the corn Of this years crop Is SO dry
that the word new" will probably be
dropped before the expiration of the
wint or term Of storage. it. Is not likely
that any considerable proportion OF i.
will be So inspected as to be deliverable
on contracts before the close Of the pres.
emit calender year. On this point will
largely hang the question of receipts du.
ring the next two months, and the price
Of "seller the year corn."-;C Chicago 1yi.

tbs WOOlIen Manufacturers.

the manufacturers of wollen goods,
and chiefly the manufacturers of cassi.
meres, have emphatically declared, by
their determination to curtail produc
tion 20 per cent, that Protection does
not protect. We have many wears
pointed out to these misguided men
that the woollen protection is only
calculated In the end to stifie their
great industry. In 1868-'67 they were
Juggled into accepting a tariff by
coLple Of selfish carpet manufactur.
ers, who not only chained them with
a high tariff on woollcn fabrics.
but fastened upon them an outrage.
GUS rate of duty on the foreign
raw wool that is needed to produce
cloths and cassimeres, taking good
care, nevertheless, that the common
wool used for making carpets
should come in comparatively cheap.
A delegation of wool-growers and
wool manufacturers in 1866 agreed
to advocate, and actually obtained,
tariff which raised the duty on
foreign raw wool 10 to II cents
per pound, with an additional IL
per cent. ad valorcm. To compensate
the manufacturers of woollen fabrics
~ "oS az lcCu thdt tue uuty On WOOlleQ
fabrics should be raised 25 per cent. :;
and further, as it takes sometimes
pounds of raw wool to produce /
pound of manufactured woollens, it
was stipulated that weight-duty of
90 cents per pound on foreign manu-
factured woollens should also be given
to the manufacturers by way of pro-
lection. Thus the matter has stood
since 1966-'67.
Both parties, the deceived and the
decelvers, are now suffering. The
wool grower and the woollen manufac.
turer are in a most deplorable condi-
ton.
1t will be interesting to examine
into the quality and quantity of the
protection which does not avail to
keep these wise political economists
out of trouble.
First for the wool-growers. In 1878
the foreign wool imported into the
United States was taxed as follows.
The figures are taken from actual i'm
|portations, which arc recorded in the
returns OF the Bureau of Statistics,

Thus 1t Is seen that the wool used
for making carpets is taxed less than
% per cent. in the average, and that
combing wool used for cloaks and
cassimcres are taxed all the way from
AZ to SO per cent. Yet the deceived
wooI-grower thinks himself protected
and to all appearance he is protected
quite enough.
From actual importations of woollen
fabrics in 1878 the following protection
was enjoyed by the American manu-
facturer of wOOllens.

Notwithstanding this exorbitant
protection we have the modification
to see that except during the biief
period after the Franco-Germa war,
when trade in Europe went crazy.
our homegrown wool under COM
pulsory disuse, and the slaughter of
our exports, has been cheaper in cur
rency than it was before the war
in gold, when foreign wool came
in free.
We have already shown that the
largest woollen mills of the country,
already in seemingly moribund state,
have no other remedy for the ills OF
protection than that most disastrous
OF all sIemedies, short production,
which means starvation to scores ana
thousands of workingmen. This is
the result of a policy which the Re
publican party has fastened upon the
nation, and these the fruits of poll
cy of such men as Dawes, Butler, E.
Fl. Roberts, Chandler, Scott, May
nard and others of that class whom
the people have so justly consigned TO
oblivion. ~ -
The action of these bonighted
and just now distressed woollen
protectionists in curtailing their pro-
duction and bringing distress to their
employees fully justifies the peoples

Mrs. Tilton is now sojourning in family
of Mr.. Beeehers friends 1t is not under
stood that formal separation has taken

nature of these overtures he would not
