But wealth seems to have fouled
the fountains of its fidelity. The sign
by which it had conquered was re-
nounced for strange devices, and the
walks of its early faith were abandon
ed that it might wander away into
heretical labyrinths. Since the date
OF its apostacy it has steadily declined
IN public favor, and now endeayors to
recover itself by the expedient to
which we have referred. Its success
Is doubtful. If our contemporary
woald be as it formerly was, it must do
as 1t formerly did. :
The Chicago Times has raised its price
10 hVe cents a copy. 1t Acknowledges
That 1t Is now run at loss. We ara sor-

once prosperous enough to realize for
its owner large fortune. In those bsl

he was so and she was 65-could

From the Lancaster Inslligencer.
Tom COchrdn's PuDDets.

A N. Y. Tribune dispatch from Har-
risburg says 1T was noticeable that
the strong anti Grant sentiment in the
convention came from the rural coun-
ties, that furnish heavy Republican
majorities. The only exception was
Lancaster, where the county commit
tee made up a delegation to support
the Cameron programme, and where
there is, am told, such indignation
over the way the county was misrepre-
sented that a convention will be held
and delegates sent to Chicago with
credentials directly from the people.
Nine-tenths of the Republicans of
Lancaster are reported to be hostile to
the third term scheme"

The United States census of 1910,
which was the first one where ele-
ments other than that of population
were introduced, shows thenty-four
woolen factories that spun yarn, and
9,25S, ,25S yards Of woolen cloth woven
in families valued at $4,4IS, 900. In
1860 wOolen establishments had in
creased to 2,O1O, employing 46, 900 work
people of various grades, and produc-
ing goods valued at $67 100000 annual
ly. The demand for blankets and
clothing for the soldiers during the re-
bellion causad a general advance in
prices, and corresponding increase in
factories, SO that in 1860 persons en-
ployed in the manufacture numbered
$1,000, who produced goods valued at
$177 100000. The demand for woolen
fabrics naturally increase with the pop
ulation, Since 1888 this country has
imported wool, either manufactured or
in the raw to the value of over 81 ,20O,-
600. and for the past four years, in the
aggregate, $17O,0O0,OOO has been
brought.in; while the export has been
comparatively trihing. In 1875 the
total duties on wool and woolen tex
lures amounted to $3O,914,OS6, which
is the largest animal revenue the gov
ernment has received ON these articles,
with the exception Of those of the four
years previous to 1S4S. By this
exhibition it will beseen that the wool
grower in the United States meets with
a remunerative reward for his labor.
In fact, it is another evidence that al
most any legitimate occupation in this
country "pays" when properly attend
ed to.
