At n recent meeting of the wool
growers association of Illinois, held
Mt Chicago, the president delivered a
lengthy address upon the condition
of the wool growing industry of the
country, and, for protectionlst,
gave his hearers some very sensible
advice. He discouraged the too fire.
quent habit of attributing to the
reduction of the wool duty by the
republican congress in 1888 every
misfortune surrounding the wool
market. He safely concludes that "A
house of representatives that elects
an avowed free trader to its speaker
ship and puts into his hands the
formation of committees, need not
be looked to with any hope for
m increase in the tariff on for
eign woods" His opinion is that
there can be found more practical
means Of advancing the interest of
wool growers than in spending time
begging congress to do something
which there is good reason to be-
lieyc it will not do. He also points
out the fact that more foreign wool
was often brought into this country
in single year under the high tariff
than in either of the two years
since the reduction of duties; and
rightly concludes that present low
prices are due to other causes than
tariff reduction. This sort of talk
is refreshing from representative
wool grower. When the men en-
gagged in all the so called protected
industries realize that they must
cease to look to the government for
support, and must work out their
own salvation by adopting improved
methods and devising means to adj
vance their interests, then will they
not only prosper themselves, but
contribute to, instead Of taking from
the prosperity of the whole country,

tanning the earliest years Of discretion, the
scIs decided that i was more incumbent
upon them than upon the generality Of per-
sons TO be particularly particular in their
choice If friends. As they were amiGble,
right-fcaling young men. they looked upon
this duty sad necessity.
Had they been tempted to swerve from this
line OF conduct, respect for their father should
have kept them steadfast He had always
impressed the great duty upon them. Before
the two boys were out Of the nursery the great
coup which Is expected by every sanguine
business man came off. Mr.. Talbert realized
his capital and sold his business. He obtained
less for it because he made the stipulation that
his name should no longer appear in connec-
ton with it. Then, widower with one
daughter and two sons, he bought Hazlewood
House, and settled down to drift gradually
into good society.
He educated his children by this creed. IL
is the duty Of all people 10 rise in the world
both in commercial and social circles. Thanks
to his exertions ard good fortune, the first
half Of the obligation had been discharged.
The second rested chiefly With Liz children.
He did not tell them this in definite words,
but all the same preached i: 10 them most elo-
quently and was more than content, and felt
that the fruits Of his training were showing
themselves, when his daughter married Sir
Maingay ClGuson. 4 fairly respectable and
