consideration of the bill was rejected,
but advanced In sympathy with the
regular quarterly wool sales, In London
and Antwerp, where competition be-
tween purchasers was active. The
farmer has no benefit from the tariff;
he can have none either on his wool, or
on any other commodity he raises. He
can be, and he is injured, by the en-
HANGED price he pays for the clothing
he wears, for the clothing his wife and
little ones wear; nay, he is
injured more than this. He
ls compelled to sell his grain,
his dairy product, the tobacco and cot
ton he raises. In competition In the
worlds markets, with the worst paid,
worst fed, most sbject and degraded
labor on the face Of the earth.
And this is not all. The manufsctur-
sr restricted to the wOols Of the United
States cannot get the component parts
of.wool entering in all cloths cOmpe-
ting in the market, he must import
them, and when he does the tariff duties
are so heavy as to put the price Of his
products above those of the foreign
manufacturer. Hence constant ten

tinued dissatisfaction with the price of
woodland a disposition by manufacturers
to unite to force down its price, and the
wool grower Is indirectly cut off from
exporting any Of his product. Many
fleeces which are grown in Ohio, are
sold to local dealers for from 20 to
80 cents per pounds less than they
would bring in competition with for
eign wool In the markets of the world.

before this industry exists in name

Unquestionably reform is needed, but
refusing to consider a bill with the
merits of the one under discussion,
does not lead in that direction.
The Ohio Democratic Congressman
who did not vote the sentiments as ex-
pressed in the platform on which they
were elected have betrayed the princi
pies of their constituents and the party,
and If questions of national policy are
to divide parties, Democratic principles
demand that every Democrat nail his

HON. A. P. EDGERTON, OWL SERVICE
COMMISSIONERS.

The following Is an excellent sketch
OF Civil Service Commissioner EdgertOn.
The editor Of this paper passed many
pleasant evenings with Mr.. EdgertOn
in his room while at Washington last
December, pretty regularly meeting
there with Col. G. W. Manypenny. Mr..
EdgertOn has been resident of Fort
Wayne for many years, though over
thirty years ago he represented the
northwest Ohio district In Congress.
[Cleveland Leader washington Correspondence
One Of the liveliest young men about
Washington is the Hon. A. P. EdgertOn,
the Civil Service Commissioner. Though
his hair and beard are like snow, he Is
full of mental and physical vlgor, and he
grows quite indignant over the charge
that he is about to leave the civil service
board. Mr., EdgertOn has known all the
prominent men back to the days OF
Martin Van Buren,, and there Is hardly
q prominent man within the last fifty
years with whom he has not had more
or less acquaintance. He told DE last
night that Van Buren, was fair COM

"Who Is the greatest man you have

IMMIGRATION continues to diminish.
In the first eleven months of the current
fiscal year the arrivals number 2S4 274,
and In the corresponding period of 1884
85 3O69O2 In the years 1881 to 1886 the

In the German immigration, the total

THE MORRISON BILL ,

The Cleveland Plain Dealer Of June
30. says:
Despite the efforts Of the free traders
In the Eastern States and their c0adju.
tors In the Sou th, the wool growers of
the country will reap the benefit Of the
enhanced value Of their product. De.
feat OF the Morrison bill was immedi
ately followed by an advance OF several
cents pound In wool, which Is worth
much more In the encouragement that
is indirectly given to wool growers that
their great industry will not be further
crippled by free imp0rtati0ns from
foreign countries.
"The farmer has little immediate ben
eft from the tariff impositiOns, but such
benefit as Is his due he should receive.
Reform 10 first needed where Ii will
most benefit the farmers. Let them get
a,stsrt that will bring to them fair
remuneration for the toll they endure
and the interests they have at stake"
All this from journal which pro.
fesses to advocate the course Of the
Democratic party and principles, as EN-.
bodied In the last national platform,
which says. "the Democratic party is
pledged to revise the tariff in spirit Of
fairness TO all interests"
The Morrison bill was an effort in
that direction, and wool was placed on
the free list, and although weeks inter.
vened between the time of Its introduc-
tion and the time when Mr.. Morrison
moved its consideration in Committee

THE RANDALL TARIFF BILL,

This bill, introduced into Congress
on June 9th, is in many respects pc
culiar method for the relief Of an over
taxed people. In obedience to the din
raised about bis ears, Mr.. Randall at
tempted TO play the part of statesman
in the construction Of this bill. The
unique proposition to turn the crop of
apples, peaches, grapes, cherries and
small fruits generally, raised In this
country into whisky, brandy and light
wine, by relieving their products of
taxation, is only exGelled by the propO-
sition to add II cents pound to the
duty collected from tin plates. In other
words, it Is proposition to reduce tax
alton on luxuries, and add them to the
price of the dinner pail carried by the
labOrer, the receptacle for canned fruit,
and the utensils ordinarily used In
every kitchen in this land. The impor-
tatiOn of tin plate to this country last
year was sos, ,559,076 pounds. valued at
$16,610, ,104, on which the duties COL
lected were $5,055,591. Mr.. Randall's
bill, II passed, would raise the duty
IA cents on each pound or $6,218, ,486
making total collected from the i'm
pOrtatiOns Of tin of $11,374,077. This
would seriously affect the cost of canned
fruits, canned vegetables, canned meats
and canned fish, now 30 extensively ex.
ported. Indeed it is extremely doubtful
II this industry would not be crushed
under the added taxation. 1t would
likewise seriously affect the consumer
Of these goods at home In the enhanced
price he should have to pay for them. 1t
Is not difficult to discover Mr.. Randall's
motive for trying to raise the duties on
tin plate. He is protectionist and "the
friend Of labor" So also Is John Jar
rett "friend Of labor" This man Jar
rett is the representative of the Ameri.
can Tin Plate Association and In his
official capacity has urged Congress to
this action repeatedly that great" In
dustry may be built up. Should they
succeed in securing duties in sd-
vance of those now collected 1t
would be but a transfer of
benefits. The Randall bill wouM de-
clare prohibitOry tariff on tin plate,
q great" industry would be built up,
and few select capitalists secure an
unjust share Of wealth. On the other
hand. the coming industry, employing
31,9O5 persons and yielding product
valued at SIT 500 576 In 1880, would be
destroyed, and thousands of homes
would have to sustain blow incombar-
ably greater than the benefits conferred.
No one is demanding a reduction of the
tax on tobacco and fermented liquor.
The system for collecting this tax is
established, and 1t honestly finds Its way
into tho treasury. Not so with tariff
taxation. This offers premium on dis
honesty In every guise, and has been
the source Of all the political corrup-
tiOns, waste and extravagant expendi-
ture, which has characterized national
legislation In recent years, and the peo-
pie demand 1t shall be revised In
spirit of fairness"

JOHN LANNoN, Of Alexandria, Va,
who recently died, has history. he
came from Ireland with his mother
when q child, and early had to work
for living. He got place In the store
of Joseph Broders, who, when the Fed.
eral troops occupied Alexandria In 1861,
ran away, leaving young Lsnnon, then
sixteen years old, in charge. BrOders
hoped that the boy would sell the goods
In stock, and make honest return of the
proceeds; he was therefore much sur
Drised when he returned at the end of
three years to find that John had In
creased the business, had on hand q
larger stock of goods than when Bro
ders ran away, and had made So 900,
which he had In bank. The merchant
gave young LannOn half of the money
and took him into partnership, and
before he died John had accumulated
100000, built an opera house at Alex
andria, and the largest wharf there,
and was one of the most respected
citizens of the town.

THE DEMOCRAT has frequently in.
quired why Congressman Mckinley does
not introduce bill to restore the wool
tariff. 1t was, we believe, in March,
1853, that the Republican party, In
power In both Houses Of Congress, cut
down the tariff on wool. This was done
at the command of the eastern woolIen
manufacturers. We have heard great
deal from Mckinley and others since
then about restoring the wool tariff but
not one of them has introduced a billin
Congress to restore the wool tariff of 1857
that was repealed In March, 1883, by
Republican Congress. The following
from the Salem Republican upon this
question sdverts to this important point.
Let Mckinley and others give evidence
Of willing work. Talk is cheap, but talk
has long enough drawn the wool over
farmers eyes:
THE WOOL TARIFF OF '67.
Gen. GrOsvenor introduced resolu-
tion in Congress faVoring restoration
of the WOO! sariff of 1857 The Commit
tee on Ways and Means, Of which Wm.
Morrison is chairman, reported against
1t. Morrison and his free trade col.
leagues are always active and aggres.
sive, and every change made on the tariff
list, cuts down the protection to wool.
Major Mckinley Is recognized as the
leader of prOtectiOnists. 1t used to be
Kelly, of pennsylvania, but he don't
know anything about wOOl-Only iron.
He Is not possessed Of the real knOwl-
edge of modern statesmanship. There
fore the flock men of the country have
only one man in Congress to look to for
safety against MOrrison's designs on
their palts, and that is Mckinley, of
course. Wool producers are getting
tired Of their champion acting all the
time on the defensive, and all the time
losing valuable ground. Morrison, the
leader Of free trade in wool, should be
met on the same level by Major McKin-
ley, the leader Of the protective policy,
and pushed to the wall by an aggressive
movement. To do that effsctUally, and
at the same time demonstrate his zeal
In practical way, why not Mckinley

ness II adopted. Will not Mr.. Mckinley,
before the close Of Congress, therefore,

IT Is said that Judge FOIlett, of the

every purpose of decision on the case
