the risk of selling in our markets for
$1.47, which they must have or they
cannot trade with us They say, yes,
some of your peaple come to our mar
kets, but they won't buy of us, for
they say they have to pay Al cents on
every dollars worth of goods they take
into American ports. aud when they
add that TO the price, IS they must do,
they are afraid they canuOt sell. The
foreigner says: "Oh, no, Mr.. Ameri

your goods if we can get along without.
You are exclusionists, you are walled
in by a prohibitory tariff, you aIe
hermatised, you can go to hades with

bother US longer, be gone! our time is

q little of your pork. but we will stop
it If we have to tell them it is dises sed

Well, reader, for these reasons we
are out of trade. Well, you say, we
have q mighty nation, great people,

all OF our productions at home. Some

Now, reader, this lack of trade is the
effect of our protective tariff, and il
one of the reasons of the low prices on
wool. There is another great reason
for the low price, which / will explain
to you. 1t is fact that many of oul
people, and even foreigners, have gon'
to our public lands in Texas, New
Mexico, Arizona, California, and al
: along the Pacific slope, and found thu
climate, soil and range so peculiarl,
have turned rauchmen, and hav
' stocked and are stocking that grea
country with coarse VOL sheep, an,

desired to wait until the next steamer,

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, AUG. II, 1888.


Representative Mills left here today
for West Virginia, to make tariff re-
form speeches. From there he goes to
New Jersey and then to the Northwest
He says he proposes to talk tariff re-
form to the people in their homes from
now until election day. He feels abso-
luteiy certain that Cleveland and
Thurman will be elected.
Senator Morgan in his exposition of
the reason why the republican Sen
atOrs oppose the fisheries treaty, bore
down on the New England brethren
in manner that was anything but
pleasant for the representatives of that
section.
Elk Senator Mcdonald, of Indiana,
is in this city. In answer to question
he said Things look very favorable
for the democrats. I have never had
any doubt about Indiana's going dem
ocratic. Conditions are very favorable
to US. think we shall carry the state
by good majority. The canvass is
going on, but this Is the heated term,
and things are little quiet. Mr.. Har.
rison has not been able to arouse much
enthusiasm. Very little has been ac-
complished by those excursions, recep-
tions, etc. They have been a sort of
failure"
Representative Matson, the demo-
cratic candidate for governor of Indi
ana, says he will stump the state in
company with Representative Hovey,
his republican competitor. and that
they will have joint discussions.
Representative Campbell has intro
duced bill in the House. providing
an annual pension of 5000 for Mrs.
sheridan.
1t seems little queer to see dem
ocrat in command of the army, but it's
all right. Democrats are always COM
petent to fill the highest offices, and it
is only q question of time when they
will fill them all. By the way, a move
ment has already been started to have
Congress promote General Schofield
to Lieutenant General.
At a caucus of democratic Senators
held Wednesday, it was decided that
no obstructive tactics would be used to
prevent the republicans rejecting the
fisheries treaty.
The Senate COMMITTEES ON epidemic
diseases reported adversely Mr.. Calls
bill to pay for property destroyed in
stamping out yellow fever. All the
money necessary will, however, be
furnished from an appropriation made
by the last Congress. for the suppress
sion of epidemic diseases, aud if neces-
sary another appropriation will be-
made.
The delay in Mr.. Cleveland's letter
of acceptance is having terrible effect
on the republicans. Another week
without it and some of them will be
put into straight jackets.
Representative Thomas, of Illinois,
has prepared an original design for
war vessel.
The republican Senators had nearly
an all night caucus Wednesday ,on the
tariff bill. It is understood that there
are still wide differences of opinion
among them, particularly on the sub
jects of sugar and lumber.
OF all the farces ever enacted in this
city, the so.called National Conven.
