than statesmen representing factories of other
states or other Cities or towns of our own
State, that our claim to your patronage is para

weguarsntee to sell you fine goods at less
cost than any salesman representing factories
of other towns or cities can possibly do. We
do all of our own WORK. Have no journey men
TO pay, and no expense of travelling saiesmen
| all of which has to be charged to dealers by the

grade of goods and all of which is taken from

| of the manufacturing interest OF your own city,
| but to the loss of both dealer and smoker.
which finally results in crushing out your own
factories, to the upbuiiding of the factories OF
other places. Our fine goods we guarantee to

war, and every cigar will SMOKE, All we ask

again. Respectfully,

THE WOOL Duty.

California takes high rank as wool
producing State, but it is noteworthy
fact that despite high protective tariff
the clip has stendily decreased since
1875, the period Of highest production.
The wool crop Of 1875 was sc. $50, $40
pounds; Tor 1887, thirteen years later, il
was 81. 564,281 pounds--a decrease OF
24,9s6, 749 pounds. ~--.--...-,.
It is clear that there are economic
causes at work to produce this result
outside the tariff. The explanation is
that land has become valuable for other
purposes, and the unfenced area over
which the sheep ranged has be7n great
~ diminished. Sheep raisinL in Cali
fornia has not become fixed industry
Rs in the Eastern States. It's claim to
protection is therefore untenable on the
score OF added wealth and permanent
improvements incident to the business
of wool growing; and if the decrease in
production continues for another decade
as in the past. there will be hardly any
wool left to protect in 1898.
We osn find no valid argument in IA
vor of the duty on wool from the statis-
tics Of production, import and value.
The tariff has neither increased the
price OF wool nor the supply. The
country at large imports, either % raw
material or WOODEN fabrics, one half the
volume Of Its yearly wool product; while
the average price has been much lower
for several years than during the low
tariff from 1857 to 1860 inclusive. More
than thai, the wool industry has de-.
clined under the high tariff. Compar-
ing the number of WOODEN cards in OPP
Grafton in 1870 with those reported In
the census of 1880. we find that they
had been reduced from 8,S68 in the for
mer year to 5,961 in the latter. g..
If the tariff on wool neither increases
production, sustains prices, nor encour-
ages manufactures, Of what possible
good is It, seeing that It ia not needed

NEW ALBANY, lad, July 26.-After
years Of uninterrupted lawlessness and out
rage the White Caps of Crawford county,
Ind, have ben met by few resolute men
and punished. Last Monday night crow d
of these law breakers visited the house of
two girls named Wiseman. near Marietta
and Corydon, whom they accused of being
unohaste, took them from their home, tied
them to tree and brutality whipped them.
Their screams aroused some of their friends
living in the vicinity, who Immediately took
measures to avenge the outrage. 1t Is the
custom of the White Caps, after INDUCING In
their brutality, to ride up to house near
by and notify those living there of the &C.
sion they have taken and command them to
inform the neighborhood. The friends of
the girls, knowing this, formed an ambush
in dense wood beside the road, and when
the gang rode by fred into the party, put.
ting them to flight. Next morning it was
found that one of the White Caps, a man
named Saunders, had been wounded and
that Brair Gregory, who keeps store at
Marietta, must have been hurt also, as
bloody tracks were noticed leading 10 his
residence and he has not been seen since.
