TuE D:sToS Wool MAnEEv,

BosToN, August l6.-The Adves .iser, in itg
weekly review Of the wool market, esys !:
1t 10 not surprising that tho market, alter n
run OF four most active weekp, in which
the sales have averaged over four million
pounds each week, is now more quiet.
Such high pressure cannot be kept IN at
any time, and surely not in wool when
wooIlon goods do no: show any great i'm
provement. The business this week has
been very fair, and more, than up to The
average sales Of domestic wool. There ia a
deArth OF new features. Il will bs noticed
that tho transactions in Michigan fleece, an
reported, csneiss Of only one sale OF old
wool at 2S, Holders Of the very beat
Michigan are still holding at 3lc, but good
lois cun be bought below that, and Sic ia
IN cxtreme price. Dealers generally feel
that wool vii! 50 no lower, bu. st the ssme
time ths1e ia not the strongest confidence
that 1t will be higher 10 the ness future,
hence present prices are readily accepted
Wyoming woola have been arriving rather
more freely 0! late, and como aales have
been made which have not been reparted.
becauae tho Nool has not been delivered.
There is no doubt that tho sales OF wool
have been lager than reported by fully
400, ,0M lbs, but it ia our practice to report
only Just euch sales CT are given to Us in
tho regular way. There is no disposition
to speculate in wool. Dealers have been
very busy shipping wool. Choice e:jort.
menls Of al desirable wools have been re-
duced by tho recent activity, and s,ocks Of
yearg,owth Texss are much reduced.

PRODUCTION AND LABOR.

An excuse is formed by some political
economists for the importation Of for
eign labor on the ground that unless we
transfer the transatlantic consumers to
this country we will soon be unable to
find q market for our surplus grain.
The remedial scheme is simple and COM
prehensive. 1t assumes that S723, $780,
l94 worth of foreign goods were i'm
ported into the United States last year,
and it further assumes that it required
$500, 900 labOrers, supporting 10, 200, 900
persons, to produce these goods. Now,
ifthese 6, 400, 900 laborers and their fam
lilies were in the United, States produc-
ing the goods here, the cost of impor-
tatiOn would be saved as we'll as the
profit upon the manufactured pro-
duct, and q market created for an
equivalent amount of home pro-
ductiOn. The county is certainly work
in that direction already. Within 3
period of twelve years 4 ,552, $50 immi-
7S6, 900 Of these have come to the Pacific
Coast. As many more have settled in
the Rocky Mountain country, and the
great plains between the Missouri and
the Green River furnish comfortable
homes for an equal number. In per-
haps less than another decade the 49,
0OO, 900 immigrants required will get
here. There would be danger, if they
came faster, Of unsettling the social, in
dustrial and economic conditions Of the
country. But at the end Of that time
the productive capacity of America will
be much greater than it Is now. The
home consumption of wheat, for in
lance, is now $50, OO0, 900 bushels, while
he surplus for export reaches $50, 000,-
100. With an increased area Of produc-
ZION consequent upon increased popula-
ton, the same conditions would prevail.
Would it be different If we had an addi.
tional population Of Is, 000, 900 Of people
10 support?
Within the last two decades the
wheat product has advanced from 49,
j77, 927 in l864to 504, lS5, 40 bushels in
1884, and there is no reason to believe
hat this ratio of increase will diminish
during the next twenty years. Nor is
there any reason to believe that our ex-
port trade will not continue to grow
with production, Take as an example:
In 1913 we ,Xported to France 81 barrels
Of flour; in 1883 we exported l6,096,7l2
bushels of wheat and IS, 233 barrels of
flour. In 1878 we exported to Great
Britain 1907, All bushels of wheat and
33S, 544 barrels Of flour; in 1888 we ex-
ported s., 256, sos bushels of wheat and
5,777, 429 barrels of flour. Our export
trade with smaller nations, such as
Spain, Portugal and Italy has not been
less marked by steady increase. If such
data are to be accepted as basis for
future calculations, our export trade in
wheat will grow with increased produc-
ton for fifty years to come-pOssibly,
indefinitely.

DrRAUI.rNR VANFI.EEr

Mr.. Vanfieet is the last man to add
his name to the long list of defaulting
county treasuIers in Ohio. The dis
patches which detail the extent and
features Of his crime, lsconically add
that he had always been considered an
exemplary Christian gentleman" 1t
occurs to US that Mr.. Vsnfeet could not
have better shown the spirit and char
acter Of q true Christian than by re-
framing from stealing, for honesty be-
comes as well, If not better, the enlight-
ened Christian gentleman Is 1t does the
unenlightened heather. He could not
have been the pattern Of morality
which he Is described to have been or
he would not now be defauIter. 1t
would be nearer the truth to say be
was q scoundrel who added to his
other vices that Of eantlng hypocrisy.
"The Christian gentleman doesn't steal.
Mr.. Vsnfleet did steal. The theft in
volved perjury, for he had sworn faith
fully to discharge the duties Of his
Office, the chief duty Of'whieh was the
safe custOdianship Of the funds intrustsd
to his charge. The theft involved the
bondsmen whom he had persuaded to
become his surety. II cast discredit up
on the party which elected him. 1t
Drought sorrow and disgrace upon the
home he bound to cherish and protect.
1t is idle to made excuses Tor such q
nan. He had the intelligence to
understand the consequences of bis
theft or he wouldn't be q fugitive
to day. It is worse than idle to
parade him as an exemplary Christian
gentleman. Such indeed, might have

The Democrats do not hope to break
the "Solid North" any more than the
Republicans really expect to rupture
the "Solid South" One Is just about as
''solld" as the other. Florida and North
Carolina are an offset to Connecticut
and Oregon, but none of the four are
really doubtful" in Presidential elec-
ton.
The contest is therefore confined to
six states, namely, California, with s
votes; Indiana, with Is; Nevada, with
8; New Jersey, with 8; New York, with
So; and Ohio, with % votes-a total Of
"a electoral votes. The candidate that
can get As votes out of this lot of states
will become the next President.
What Republican can do it? Certainly
not Mr.. ARTHUR. Mr.. LOGAN GER
tainly could not carry either New York
or New Jersey, and in order to get the
necessary number Of votes he would
have to carry Indiana, Ohio, Nevada
and California, an improbable feat.
Mr.. EDMUNDS would not be popular
candidate anywhere, least of all West
of the Alleghenies. Mr.. BLAINE would
have to encounter the stalwart faction
in New York, and in New Jersey he
has no extra strength. Mr.. LINCOLN
could not reasonably hope to rally on a
mere sentiment more than party vote.
This exhausts the list of leading Repub-
lican sspirsnts and it is not necessary
to review the scrub list.
On the other. hand, any Democrat of
merit who Is held in popular esteem
and whose record is without flaws,
should be able to carry New York, New
Jersey and Indiana. California and
Nevada are also Democratic.
