A wenk Argument for Froe wool.

Senator Kcnna and other stumpcrs
who are endeavoring to make the West
Virginia wool,grower believe that free
wool will benefit him, attribute the de-
cline in wool to the competition OF
the West. Let us see how the supposed
strength of this argument will bear the
strain OF two very simple tests.
The present tariff act, by which The
duty on wool was reduced about one
fifth, was passed in 1883, but did not
90 into effect until the beginning OF the
next fiscal year. The effect began to
be seen the next year and has been seen
and felt with increasing force every year
since. Note the story OF the figures:

levied an assessment upon themselves OF one
cent key upon the last years output. 1T is
estimated that this small and easily borne
tax Melted eighty thousand dollars for the
Democratic campaign fund. One OF the
most remarkable and interesting features OF
this concentration of political power in the
hands of a few princes of the LIQUOR interest,
is the great power which one or two men
may WELD in New York city. The great
brewing firm of Bernheimer & Schmid holds
mortgages over six hundred saloons to secure
the payment of about 100000, while another
brewer, Mr.. George Ehret. holds two hum
dred mortgages to secure the payment of half
million dollars. Politically considered
this means that Bernheimer & Schmid have
six hundred centres of political influence in
New York city absolutely devoted TO their
interest. and capable of being welded as a
political unit by them. Not only do these
conditions exist In New York city; they ex-
tend as we'll to almost every city and State
where there are extensive liquor interests.
In New Hampshire the great breweries In
Portsmouth are said to dominate the saloon
interests largely in Manchester and other
cities of the State, thus giving a constant
and readily welded political factor when
such aid ia needed in the controversies of
the State. Great and dangerous seem such
powers. and great and dangerous they un-
doubleday are. But there is this consoling
reflection: The power of the people is still
greater, and the power of the people always
has been In the end supreme in this country.
Often slow In organizing, apparently vacil-
lating at times and often temporarily yield
ing the power Of the American people always
asserts itself, sometimes with a suddenness
and vigor that astonishes the world.

a TOO Powerful Official.

The closeness of the newly elected House
of Representatives has drawn public atten-
tion to the despotie power conferred upon
the clerk of that body, There is no other
officer Of the government who has SO much
power confided to him, with so little Iespon-
sibility for the exercise Of it. He makes up
the roll of members, and there is no appeal
from his decision. The great majority of
the House may be convinced that names he
has placed on the roll ought not to be there,
but they have no power to take them off
until after the House has organized and elect
ed speaker. II two representatives pre-
sent rival certificates he has power to say
which gentleman's name shall 60 on the roll,
and which one shall be kept off. In case of
close House he can, by conspiring with the
certifcatinq power Of State or States, turn
the House over to one party or the other as
he sees fit. In the organization of the newly
elected House the clerks despotic powers
are likely to be employed for all they are
worth to assist the Democracy in their en-
terprise Of capturing that branch of the
government. Republicans admitted for
a week after election are now being
counted out, with the full certainty that
the clerk can be depended upon to
recognize the benefciaries of the frauds

The Ashbourne Act.

The Ashbourne Act, over the extension of
which debate has been going on in the Brit
ish Parliament almost all of this week. is one
of the numerous acts relating to the land
tenure Of Ireland, which is so complicated
and difficult for stranger to understand.
The decay Of the Irish agricultural interests
during the last decade has been very rapid
As consequence the tenant farmers,-and
almost all the farmers rent and not own
their farms, have found 1t more difficult
each year to pay their rent AS hardships
have increased. dissatisfaction with the sys-
TEN OF land tenure has accompanied dissatis-
faction with high rates of rent At the bot
tom of the whole agitation for home rule is
the agitation in favor of lower rent; and side
by side with the agitation for lower rent has
grown up an agitation against all systems Of
rental. Some keen observers have declared
their opinions that in its real nature the
struggle waged in Ireland to-day Is in reality
q struggle to oyerturn the system Of land
lordism; and because the most popular plan
for oyerturping the landlords contemplates
buying them out with money furnished by
the government, the Irish agitation has been
described as socialistic In Its essence. And
there is much to be said in favor of this view
of the question. The Ashbourne Act, for
instance, over which the lines OF debate have
been drawn this week in Parliament, author
ICES the government to lend money at Al per
cent to the tenant to enable him to buy his
farm when the landlord is willing to sell at
fifteen years purchase" that is, for the
total amount Of the rental of fifteen years.
The govemmentpays per cent. on this sum,
and the difference of one and half per cent
which comes out Of the tenants pocket, is
credited to the tenant, and goes towards the
reduction Of the principal. which it is to ex-
tinguisb in about forty years. Already the
government has, in the three years in which
the act has been In operation, used about
twenty-five million dollars in purchasing
farms for tenants, 1t now asks for another
| twenty-five million dollars for use for the
same purpose. 1t Is not difficult to see the
| force of the objection raised by Parnell and
| Gladstone that the government would soon,
should this policy be carried out, become the
landlord of the whole country. 1t is more
difficult to understand why the Conservative
party Of England, the party Of established
monarchy, established church and estab-
lished property rights, should favor policy
distinctly tending towards socialism. Their
reason of course is plain. The Ashbourne
act helps the Irish Conservative landlords
ont Of some very poor investments, but even
this would not seem to be sufficient reason to
lead the landlord and property-holding party
of England to favor policy SO radical in its
tendencies. The next step will be the forci-
BILE appropriation of all landlords by the gov
eminent for the masses of the people, step
that would level the aristocracy of England
