THE TARIFF On WOOL

Certain illy-informed Democratic
newspapers like the Cadiz Sentinel and
Wheeling REGISTER still insist that Re-
publican wool growers in Ohio will vote
the Democratic ticket this year, because
he Republican party allows ten and
twelve cents per pound duty on wool,
while the Democratic party never gave
or proposed to give over six cents per
pound duty. Buckeye Republicans are
not quite green enough to act as silly
as that.-Bellaire Tribune.
The facts in this case are, about four
years ago the Repu blican party began
to scare the wool growers with the
Tariff question. Big posters were put
up at every cross roads aud on every
barn door so he who ran could resd.
These posters contained the infOrma-
ton that if the Democratic party sue
eeded the wool tariff would be re-
duced, which would be followed by q
much lower price for this important
staple. In comparison with this pre-
dicted state Of things, 1t Was also an
nOunced on the poster that if the Re-
publican party succeeded, 30 cents per
found would be the ruling price for
wool.
Now what has been the result? A
Republican President recommended q
reduction in the tariff on wool. A Tariff
Commission, q Republican body, with
Il representative Of the New England
wooden manufacturers as 3 leading
member, recommended that the wool
tariff be reduced. John Sherman, the
Republican Senator from Ohio, got up
in his seat in the Senate, although he
lad in his pocket remOnStrance from
;hc Ohio Legislature, and said the PEG
pie he represented were favorable to the
reduction Of the tariff on wool.
All this was done in the face Of the
promises made by the Republican party
by posters and stump speakers.
Contrary to the promises, aud in ao'
cOrdance with the recommendations
Of the Republican President, the Re-
publican Tariff Commission and John
Sherman's assertion that his constitu
ents wouldn't care, the wool tariff was
reduced.
Why? The New England woOleD
manufacturers, who contribute more
money to the Republican corruption
fund, and have more influence with
this party than has the Ohio wool
grower, demanded the reduction. They
had one Of their own men on the Tariff
Commission who sneered at the pro-
tests Of the wool grower as the Commits
sion went about over the country smOk-
ing good government cigars and drink.
ing good government wine, and even
getting shaved at government expense.
If the wool growers do not assert
themselves at the coming election and
rebuke the Republican party for its
treachery, the Republican party will
continue to trsmple them under its feet
in the interest of the New England
money bag Steubenville Gazette.

THE proposed treaty between the
United States and Mexico will be Of
vast benefit to both countries. In the
present condition of affairs 1t is very
unsatisfactory for an American citizen
to do business with Mexico. Her tariff
laws are complicated, subject to change
without notice, and the collectors and
treasury officials are continually max
ing contradictory rulings. Article s
wisely provides that no transit duty
shall be charged by either country on
goods imported for consumption. The
benefit of our export trade to
Mexico will be great, as by its
means more articles can be exported
and the business greatly increased.
In the past too large q share Of the
Mexican trade has been secured and so
far held by Great Britain, Germany,
France and Spain, and this treaty will
be the means Of the United States get
ting her full share. In the develop
ment Of our frontiers, the building Of
new railroads, the better acquaintance
of the people in q commercial view, it
will play an important part. The fact
OFF importance needs no other testi-
mony than the opposition Of the Ger
mans, British and other Europeans
who oppose it. Mr.. WARNER p. SUI
TON, the Consul General Of the United
States at MstsmOras, the credit Of work
inr Il un is largely due.

Republicans being fully aware that this

dent OF defeating him in Massachusetts,,

to make his success certain. The Ques-
ton in Republican ranks is how to de-
feat BUTLER and ii almost absorbs every

concerns the political future OF BUTLER,
il will be war to the knife. MaSsa-

TEA AND COFFBE NOT TAXED
TO the Editor of The REGISTER,

The editor Of the Journal labors I'M
der q mistaken idea II he insists that tea
and coffee are not on the free list at the
present time. Our authority is the
tariff bill enacted by the last Congress,
February q, 1888, which places coffee
and tea on the free list.
They, however, have been on the free
list for several years, more than four
years at least. We are inclined to
think that the editor OF the journal is
again mistaken when he says that the
duty on coffee was taken off several
years ago and then replaced. He must
refer to the time since which coffee has
been on the free list. Will he please
refer to his authority for our benefit.
The United States does not raise a dol
lar OF revenue from these almost lndis'
pensable imports, while England taxes
both, and derives a revenue from them
which runs well up in the millions.
That is the difference between the two
countries which suggests itself to US IN
der this subject, and we think that most
eople will concede that it IS in this
country's favor.

TMR NATIONAL MONUMENT TO
- JERRRRs0M.


JEFFERSON.
The work Of perpetusting the mem
DRY Of the immortal statesman from
whose grand inspiration and guiding
genius the fundamental principles Of
our government emanated, IL one
worthy Of the reverent attention Of q
great people, who are what they are
largely because Of the head that has
teen given to the teachings Of THOMAS
JEFFERSON. This work has been taken
in hand by the Jefferson National
Monument Association, which was
incorporated at Washington nearly a
wear ago, such men as w. w. Cox
CoRAN, the banker, the late Judge
]. s. BLACK, Judge THOMAS w. BART
LEY, and others of character and prom
ineuce being among the incorporators.
Since then branch associations have
been established In Maryland, Virginia,
Pennsylvania, and, during the past
month, in Massachusetts,. The Ameri-
can Register, published at Washington,
and directed by Judge hartley, says
of the subject:
This is q work in which the true
friends of civil liberty and political pro-
gress, throughout the world, will take
an interest. 1t viii be q national me-
mortal, not only to an lllustrious states
man and patriot, but also to the true
philosophical principle Of free govern
ment, the establishment Of which was
the greatest achievement Of the Ameri-
can revolution" The lasting purpose
of this association and its branches, as
we infer, is not simply to establish this
memorial, however appropriate and
gratifying to general patriotic senti-
ment that may be, but to build anew
the truest monument that can be estab-
lished-the incubation of those great
principles that made men free, and
which, II followed in their original spirit,
would keep them free. The personnel
of these associations is an abundant
guarantee that there is nothing partisan
or exclusive in their composition or pur-
poses, At this remOteness Of time from
the life and work of JEFFERSON, it
ought to be easy for any patriot to forget
that he belonged to party or formu-
atsd the creed for one, and only re-
me mber that he left to great nation a
rharacter Of liberty that ii should be its
Sc cred privilege to preserve. In these
days of apparent political flux, when
the temptations Of expediency ale in
too many instances drawing men and
PARTIES from their only sure and safe
mOOrings, it is fitting, not only that we
) Ould pay hOnOrs to the memory OF
JEFFERSON, but alas keep that memory
and what it stood for before US as a vivi-
flying force, talisman to protect US
aga INST the eorrOding effects Of the po-
litical selfishness that attacks political
organizations and frequently thwarts
the ends of right and progress. JET
PERSON associations should be en-
couraged aud helped, and in turn they
should remember that they have mis-
sion to advance, a noble one If It's ends
can be accomplished.

There has been only one full meeting
Of the National Committee since its ap
pointment at Cincinnati in 1880. Thai
meeting was held in New York for the
purpose Of organization in July, 1881.
Mr.. William H. Bsrnnm was electe
chairman and ali Executive Committee
was appointed. Since then no general
meeting of thecommittee has been held.
The whole management Of the party
has been in the hands Of the Executive
Committee, or rather in the hands OF Q

was managed by four or five members
Of the committee who had the assist.

Without In any way censurt0g the
select body which assumed the fune-
lions Of the full COMMITTEES, 10 can be
safely said that 1t would have been sd
yantaxeous to call the whole committees
together ut least once . month during
the progress Of the canvass. The chair
man would have obtained In that way
information which could not be pro-
cured by correspondence, and might
have obtained advice that would have
been valuable and profitable. Especial
ly would that have been the case with
the members from the Southern States.
These States give to the party
fine Electoral votes upon which its sue
cess depends. The Southern members
are at least as sagacious and unselhsh
as their colleagues from the North ana
West. 1t was an error OF Judgment,
therefore, to deprive the party mana
gers at headquarters OF the aid the
Southern members would have cheer
fully given. Holding these opinions,
we approve without qualification OF the
proposal that the National Committee
shall meet early next year, and that the
Chairmen Of the State Executive Com
mitttes be invited to be present. 1t Is
not within the power of the National
Committee to formulate a platform
for the party, but the confer,
epce which is advised would
put the representatives of the party
In each State in possession of trust
worthy information concerning the
condition, prospects and wishes OF the
party in every State. This would have
a wholesome effect in securing har-
monious action, inasmuch as the repre-
sentatives from each State would then
be in position to advise intelligently
with the local leaders in order to secure,
II practicable, conformity Of action.
Each State would have before it po-
litIcal map Of the entire country, and be
able to govern its course with an eye to
the condition of the whole Union, in
stead Of combining its observations to
State lines and interests. These, we
are authorized to say, are the opinions
of the South Carolina member of the
National COMMITTEES,

''for the adjustment of all internal rev.

RANDALL did not argue for "a tariff for
revenue only" He distinctly repudi-
ates that WattersOnian nonsense, and
is making his canvass for Speaker in
opposition to it. Mr.. RANDALL be-
lieves in revenue only by tariff, hence
is in favor Of the repeal Of the internal
revenue system.
