MONITOR.
TIE rain.

TIE RAIN.
lie opened the windows of heaven to-day,
And poured US a blessing down
On the thirsty field and the stony way
And the hot and dusty town.
The light on the mountain is faint and sweet,
And bright is the flowery plain;
In the silent woods where the lovers meet,
The MOSES are green again.
l lifted my plant in my feeble hands,
And held it out to the shower;
For the rain that waters the widespread lands,
viii freshen a widows flower.
And there came n thought of the fricndlcss heart
Shut up in a lonely place;
oh, carry it forth, ere its life depart,
And give it the streams of grace.
oh, carry it forth TO a purer air,
From its dark abode of pain,
Till the dust of self, and the stains of care
Are washed away by the rain.
-QuiUer.

Nuts for Carnegie to Crack.
CllcoOO Ns1rs,


Surely Mr.. Csraegie does not have to en-
ploy women at his coke ovens. He is rich
CROUCH to pay men for doing such work.
But he wanted cheap labor and women
supplied it. Yet he would have the nation
think that he is q famous champion oil
labor. A small portion Of the M lions
which he has gathered up out of TIE peoples
pockets be las expended in frte Libraries
Why did he not leave that rnore7 in the
pockets Of the people? he could have
done this by selling cheaper rails 10 build
cheaper railroads to carry the produce Ct
the country to market at chelIer rates.
Why should Mr.. Carnegie spend in foreign
ccaehipg tours the profits accrpipg from
wcmeD's labor at coke ovens ard from the
sale of dear rails which to farmers take the
form of ruinous freight charges? He Goes
not sympsthzs with labor. That is the
truth. Mr.. CIrnegie's high tariff views
delight Mr. Blsiue, Mr.. Kelley, Mr.. Nc
Kin!ey and all other friends of war taxes
PerhspI they will also arp owe of the
Hungarian women employed at Mr.. Car,
negie's ccke ovens. They are part CT the
beautiful system under which MIR. Carne.
gle has gathered together his millions.

QUE NEIGHBOE TACKLES THE
WOOL QUESTION.

QUE NETGHBoR TACKLES THE
WOOL QUESTION.
TIE IRteliigeRcer weakly trits to discredit
Senator KENNA's unarswersble argument
in favor o. free wool, by falsifying statis-
ties Of imports. IL eldeayers TO show that
since the lowering of the wool tariff in
1888 our imports of wool have been doIb-
I'D and that the wool growers oftbis conn
try have been hurt thereby. In 1888, The
hteIigsncer ssys, We imported 53,O49,-
966 50 pounds. Very good. Then
it ssys wa imported in 1888,
1l3, 55S,735. How on earth did our
neighbor get these figures? The COM
Pete stalistics for this year have rot been
issued yet, for the simple reason that the
year isn't up yet. We have before us the
latest statement of the Bureau of Statistics
of the Treasury Department. l. pits our
total Imports CT all kinds Of wool for the
eight months ending August 81 at SO, 56s.-
Sl3 pounds. The natural growth of the
trade of the country slone wouli probably
make this increase in five Yeas, tariff or
no tariff
But, be that as it may, let US attribute
it to tie lowering of the tariff. Whit II en-?
Il not Mr.. KENHA light? Has not the price
OF Au ericar wool increased since 1883 from
CSC to 81, and has not the volume Of the
American wool trade increased according
ly? Dts this not prove the truth of Sen
asor KENNA's argument, that foreign wool
does not come into composition with Ameri-
can wool, and that for every pound we i'm
port we mrs. have o certain amount Of
American wool to mix with it?
Prior to 1888, under a higher tariff than
we now have Ol woCl, it was 25e pound.
In 1888 Congress msds reduction of &c
a pound in the duty, and now the Aueri-
can price is 32c, or &c higher under the
70 wered tariff by the lowering Of the
tariff the fo;eign wool, which they must
have, our wooden manu- 'acturers were en-
sbled TO buy more of it and consequently
,cere compelled to use more american rrOOl to
mir riR ii. Hence the rise of &c in the
price at home.
Mr.. ROWLAND HAGGARD, of a great
wo1lsn manufacturing company in Rhode
Island ard 3 Republican at that, in an ad
dres before the uon-partiean Tariff Reform
Club Of Ne y York, the other evening, said:
If the duty on foreign woods should be
taken off manufacturers could pay at least
10 cents pound more for america" rool,
because it would be peeded in mixing
with foreign wools in the manufacture of
2. o Is that cannot be made in this country
now because the foreign quality cannot be
secured"
