The Erect of Free Wool.


The first result Of the 'free woof'i
vote has beenreported and 1t is signlfi-
can. The constant argument Of The
high proteetionists has been that the
adoption Of free wool policy would
totally destroy the wool growing indus
try Of this country and that 81, ,000, 900
wool growers" would be brought face 20
face with bankruptcy and ruin. Wool
prices have been low and the market
lifeless because, so said the alarmists,
the passage Of the free wool bill was
feared and an influx of foreign woods
would make further tumble in prices.
The free wool clause of the tariff re-
vision bill was adopted by a decisive
vote and the passage of the bill by the
House was assured. What followed?
The predicted fall of prices and the
stampede of farmers to sell their fleeces
and kill the sheep for the hide and tai
low? Not at all. The following from
the regular associated press market re-
ports tell the story.
ST. LOUIS. Mo-, July Wool.-It
wasthoughtb by many interested in wool
that the decisive vote by which the
House of Representatives placed that
dIllClC OLl btlc lfCC llSb WOulu nave u us
astrous effect, and that dull and
dropping market would be the result.
Precisely the opposite has been the case,
however. The market has stiffened up
and prices are full &c higher on all
desirable well grown woods. Manufac-
turers have been buying on the "hand-
to-mouth" plan ever since the opening
Of the season and now that they are re-
ceiving rather encouraging orders for
the new lightweight goods which they
have started to make they are obliged
to buy the raw material. Eastern
markets are reported firm with good
sized scales. Unwashed bright medium,
14@22c; coarse braid, 11@l6c; low san
dy, 10@17; fine light, 1261sc; fine
heavy, 10@16; tub washed, choice, 34c;
inferior, 28@32c.
That is precisely what the supporters
of the free wool clause have been claim
ing would be the case. It is exactly
what the Pain Dealer has been main
tanning woull follow the adoption Of a
free wool policy. 1t is what heavy
wool manufacturers who have had the
candor to skeak out have given assur-
ances would result. With free wool the
manufacturers will be able to make
class Of goods they cannot now under
take with profit. They can go into
foreign markets from which they are
now shut out by the superior advant-
ages of foreign Manufacturers, all of
whom have free woods. A wider
market will COMPEL heavier produc-
tion, giving greater employment to
labor and necessitating larger purchases
of American wool to mix with imported
woods. The final result will be an i'm
mense increase in American woolen
manufacture, greater demand for labor
and hence betterwages, a better market
for American woods, and cheaper and
better clothing for the American opera
tive and the American farmer. Pain

The average annual disbursements
for pensions during the first three years
Of Cleveland's Democratic administra-
ton were $6S 49,, ,4sS, the average dur
ing the preceding seven years of Repub-
lican administration was S4S, ,841, ,972.S7,
being an average annual increase of
nearly $20,000,0 900 or about AZ per cent.
The total number of pensioners on
the roll July !, 1884, was S22,756. On
July l, 1887, the number had increased
to 406, 6,007. d.. ..r. ....-..
During the fiscal year ended July l,
1887, about 81 900, ,OOO-to be exact $780,
4O0.24-was paid to Indiana pensioners,
a very much larger amount than they
ever received before.
This is the record. 1t speaks for
itself. Let it be Haunted in the face of
every Republican bloody shirt dema-
gogue who tries to make the old SOL
diers believe that they have anything
to fear from the reelection of Grover
Cleveland. ~

Mr.. Harrison was too liberal in his
allowance of dollar a day to the work
ing man. The Indianapolis Labor
Signal, deriving its information from
Government statistics, enlightens its
readers with a. showing of the amount
of capital employed by twenty-one of
the leading protected industriesof this
country, together with the value of the
product of each, and the percentage of
profit realized. This latter is obtained
after deducting the sums paid for wages
and raw material from the manufac-
tured articles. 1t is thus automatically
shown that the profit realized by these
industries upon the money invested,
averages about 35 per cent. upon whole
sale prices. The Signal significantly
adds: "The Government statistics
from which we obtained the above
figures show that the average wage of
the employees Of these protected and
fiourishing industries is ninety-four
cents per day!" r. 81 -

The State Sentinel, which paper is in
a position to know and personally ac-
quainted with John Bass, of Ft. Wayne,
says he is the most extensive
manufacturer in Indiana. He has
more capital invested in manufactur-
ing enterprises, and employs more
hands than any other man in the State.
His works turn out more car wheels
than any other establishment in the
world. He has been a manufacturer
for twenty-five years, and in all that
time has never had strike nor lock-
out, nor any difference with his en-
ployes. He always pays the highest
market rate ofwages; has always been
among the last employers in his line to
reduce wages in "dull times" and
among the first to raise them when
business improved. He has the conf
dence and respect of every man on his
pay roll. John HI. Bass is hearty
supporter of President Cleveland and
of his tariff policy. He was delegate
to and one of the vice-pfesidents of the
st. Louis convention. He is one of the
Democratic candidates for presidential
elector from the twelfth district.-Gar-
ret (Ind.) Clipper.

A Remarkable Gas Crevice.

The Doty gas we'll near Touchdown,
was tubed yesterday, and proved to be
one of the prettiest, driest gas wells yet
struck. Rus Marvin prOnounces it
good for not less than 100000 cubic
feet of gas daily. A remarkable fact
was discovered in drilling this we'll.
The hole was down considerably deep
er than the former we'll on the same
farm, being sixty-seven feet in the rock
and Mr.. Marvin had abandoned all
hope of getting gas, but told his driller
to give another section to it, and then
quit. In foot further the gas was
struck, and the tools went down into a
crevice twehty-seven feet deep. This
is said to be the most remarkable crew.
ice ever found in the Trenton rock, and
the strange part of it is that apparently
the same crevice, only higher up in the
rock and only ten feet deep was found
