Wool is free in England, and yet on land that is worth much more than our cheap pasturage that country has nearly thirty millions of sheep against less than forty five millions in the highly protected United States. In New South Wales, which is a free trade colony, the number of sheep in creased F, ,500, 900 in twelve years, while in the adjoining protected colony of Vic toria they decreased 1000, ,O00. No man ufacturing country taxes wool as it is taxed in the United Jtatcs. And yet in nc country has the wool growing industry been relatively less prosperous than with us. The removal of the tax on wool will not injure the wool grower. On the con trary it will benefit him, for 1t will stimu: late the industry. The Mills bi!l will help the wool grower iEs teat! Of being an injury.
 Taxed wool is not.helpful to the farmer It is n burden to the manufacturer, and q source of increased expense to the con. sumer. The tax on wool must go.

WHITTIER ARE WE DRIFTING :?

The expenses of running the government are growing enormously each year. It is time to shut off. The acting secretary of the treasury estimates the expenses for the current year at s4s1 ,O00 O00, which is an increase of $ls5 ,O0O, 900 in ten years, even though the annual interest amount has been lowered $53, ,OOO, 900 in the same time. Here we have the expense of governing sixty millions of people approximating g per capita, whereas in 1860, with popu- lation less by one-half than the present, it was but $2 per capita.
 The expense of government will keep on increasing juts so long as there is a surplus of public revenues. The heroic way to check the extravagance is to destroy the system that creates it. Taxation for sur plus must go.
 Economy and lower taxes are needed |.

THE WOOI. 1AN.

The chief objection raised against ths Mills bill is that it proposes to take tn, duty off wool. For this season it is de
 nounced by the republicans as a fts, trade
 measure, notwithstanding the fact tha, President Grant recon s.,ended making its admission free. 1t is claimed that the
 wool growers will be injured by removing
 the tax; that this great industry, which
 last year yielded clip of about 800, ,O0O,- GOO pounds or less than half of what was
 used in the country, will be ruined by abolishiag the tariff on foreign wool.
 There is nothing to this claim
 Wool was not taxed in this country un-
 til thirty-hve years after the adop1 tion of the constitStiop, While 1t was free sheep inareased and the price of wool was higher than it IS now. In 1894, when duty was first put on wool, it sold for double what it brought in 1887 Last year the price was but fraction over 8 cents pound. while in 1924 it was twice as much. On the lst of January irl that year fine wool was 6S cents. and in April 70 cents a pound In May of thst year tsrif of 15 and 20 per cent was placed on wool, but the price went down, for fine wool sold in July at D cents; in October St SO cents: in January, 1895, at 55 cents, and in January, 1897, at 3G cents. In 1867 the highest tsriff ever known was imposed on wool, which wes brought about by the wool growers and woolen .qanufacturers. the latter being compensated fst the increased cost of their raw material by higher duties upon wooden goods. In two years farmers were killing their sheep for their peits and talow. The price os woo; ySent down and there was an immense reduction in the number of sheep in the country. Wool sold in January, 1866, at 70 cents ia Jan usry, 1867, at 68 cents in April at 60: in ln July at D in October at AS; and in January, 1868, at 4S cents pound: in July at 46-a decline il one year of 20 cents. The number of sheep feii eff through the country, notably in the states east of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Right here in our own state of Connecticut, where We have many wooden mills 'o "ork up the raw product of the wool growers, the nunLe fell off from173, ,243 in 1868 to 49. 19s in 1oco. These figures are not corroboratiye or the claim that the wael tax benefits the wool grower, or that it's remoya, yill work injury to him.

NO WORLDS MARKET FOR US.

England has free trade and, while pay ing the highest wages in Europe, has the largest export trade in the world. Last year she exported products, principasly manufactured, valued at $1 ,343. .OOO. 900. The United States, with all our natural ad vantages and superior conditions of pro- duction, exported only s752, ,OOO, ,OOO, and this chiefly in agricultural and natural pro- duets. What contrast!
 And while England surpasses her European competitors in the vastnes of her export trade, she pays her workmen wages from 40 to 90 per cent higher than they do. The fact that she has free trade and they have protection has no, operated on wages as the hioh tariff men claim it shonld The reason of this is very plain. Intelli- gent labor is the very best paid labor. And the labor Of England is the most intelligent labor of Europe. With untaxed raw ma terials and untaxed machinery this ls1 or has the brcadest opportunity of develon- ment, and is enabled to send its products lnso the markets of the world. With us 1t is entirely different. With nearly everything taxed, and taxed too far beyond anything that is reasonable or necessary for purposes of protection, our labor is weighted with an incubus that narrows and rest: jets it's capacities to the. home market. There is no reason why, with our broad lands and growing cities, the z M-a

FAREWELL TO ALLIrs GREArNEE<

The first session of the Fiftieth congress ends to- day. And most remarkable session it has been. It has been of extra ordinary length, passing all previous con gresses, and has been of vital importance as marking sharply the dividing lines be- tween the two great political parties. On the lines as drawn by the Fiftieth congress they will go to the people for judgment | The democratic party has reason to be proud of the record it has made and hope full of the verdict that will be given at the polls. From the day when the president ! called attention to the financial dangers [ that are constant menace of the existing tariff the party has labored earnestly, un- 1 selfshly and patriotically to effect revision that would bring the largest measure of industrial and financial prosperity upon the country. From the start it met with obstruction and rancorous partisan hostility from the republicans, but it fought down, step by step and measure by measure, every semblancG of opposition until it gave to the country bill that was adequate to the best possible degree@to remedy the existing evils. Other measures of legislation it has accomplished that gave economical and painstaking prestige to the party. But the republican party has been 1 throughout party of obstruction, with no apparent mission but to block the wheels of the party in power and make political capital for the impending election. It has fought with a birtterness anl rancor unparalleled in the annals of American legislation the democratic effort to secure reduction of taxes, has tackled on the must extravagant items to the appropria- tion bills, has dug pitfalls at every stepfor the president and his party, and altogether has madeitself pitiable spectacle inthe eyes of the American people and of the world. With grudging concession to popular demand, and right against the declarations of its national latSorm, the party brought in measure of tariff revision-a measure l designed to increase the taxes on nee essaries and add to the burden already weighing down the energies and resources of the people. And even this political
 
 clared a bill for buncombe only, was stran- gled from its birth-talked to death from the very hour when it lay sprawling and kicking in the cradle of treacherous and hypocritical progenitor.
 On the results of the Fiftieth congress the democratic party can go to the people with 1 confidence and hope. It has made q record on the one great absorbing issue that is now before the people. Its record is positive and determined ; that of it's op- ponent is negative and uncertain. The people, who are the rulers, the mighty power.that sways the destinies and the fate of this great American nation will declare for party that meets its obligations with sacred purpose of fidelity to tLe interests of the country. With courage and conf dence the democratic party appeaIa to the people for endorsement of it's policy and approval of it's purposes.
 Cleveland and Thurman aud democracy will be the choice of the American people.
