tariff at all. The only recompense possible
here at the north is found in the wool duty,
and it is upon the ground of exception to the
general rule that men like myself are unwil-
hing altogether to give up the rice duty, the
sugar duty or the wool duty, while those who
produce rice, sugar and wool are taxed for
the benefit Of domestic manufacture of sugar
pans, ploughs and other domestic products
used by them.
But it is an exception only, I admit, and
not otherwise. In brief, it is but justice to
our wool producers that the product of
their labor and capital should receive some
reasonable compensation for the outlay they
are compelled by law to make for the benefit
OF manufacturers of articles they consume.
This, 1t is true, may be said of all producers,
but not all producers have, like wool grow
ers, been invited by sixteen years of legisla-
ton TO invest in their business. It is sud-
den and rough disturbance of values, of
product into which they were invited by their
country to invest, of which they have right
10 complain. Your statement of
methods proper for such legislation
your own opposition to the shock or hasty
disturbances or settled observation-disclosures
age them to look to you for aid in their pres
ent emergency. l respectfully ask for this
large and intelligent class of our most use
ful citizens the great aid which know your
high office and eminent talents can give
them.
If Speaker Carlisle remains of his present
disposition, there seems to be no probality
that his efforts and talents will be lent to the
restoration of the wool duty.

Give Us Something New.

FARGO, D. T., Feb. 22.-It has been
learned, in connection with the secession
movement in Manitoba that there is a secret
organizations in the states, scattered from
the Atlantic coast to the Rocky mountains,
with which many Irish Americans are con-
nected. A secession convention will be
held at Winnipeg, on March 5, and al
ready many leaders in the movement from
eastern states are arriving in this city and
making it their headquarters. Two Catholic
societies have already been formed, and at
a meeting of one last night it leaked out a
speech was made against the admission of
any French descendants. By the time of
the Manitoba convention important develop
ments are expected.

AN OFF-DAYS MARKET.
Quotations Made in Chicago by the

Weekly Review of Trade Generally In the
Country.
NEW YORK.
Especial Telegram to the Globe /

New YORK, Feb 22.-The movement of
merchandise throughout the United States
during the past week, as reported to Brad
streets, has been moderate. The weather at
the west and northwest has been of such a
character as to curtail trading, and special
dispatches from those regions point to a
noteworthy decline as compared with the
weeks Immediately preceding. The roads
have also been impossible in many localities,
fact which, besides interfering with country
merchants, business has interrupted condi-
tons so that the average of the same is dis
tinctly below that of recent weeks. Still the
falling away noted is clearly of the nature Of
an interruption and in no wise due to de-
creased demands, which explanation like
wise includes the regions which have suffer-
ed from floods through the Ohio valley and
vicinity.
The breadstuffs market has shown de-
cline on wheat of 2l@15sc per bu., and in
corn from 15s12c per bushels. Exports
have remained inactive and, as the visible
supply has decreased again and receipts at
the west have continued to maintain q low
level, prices apparently refuse stimulous
other than from abroad. The indications
are that the weeks receipts of hogs will be as
large as those of the corresponding period in
the two years Immediately preceding.
Provisions at New York have taken their
cue from Chicago, and the break there during
| the week was fully reflected here.
| Iron at New York holds its previously re-
ported firmness, and prices are unchanged.
Ocean freights are dull and not materially
changed. Petroleum is low for.both refined
and crude. Trading has been quite slack.
There has been steady consumptive de-
mand for wood, and values have been well
main tanned.
The movement of dry goods from first
hands has been light. Jobbers are getting
moderate orders and not doing as large a
business as usual in February. Woolens are
quiet, but most of the clothiers have placed
good orders for heavy weights at prices a
little off from last year. There were
218 failures in the United States during the
| past week, which contained holiday. The
number was twenty-five less than during the
preceding week, and fourteen more than in
the corresponding week of 1888, and eighty
three more than the same week
of 1882. About eighty-three per
