'The turning point for wool will
be found in the action of Congress on
the Revenue Bill now before the
Lower House. As much as the trade
would like to close its eyes to political
questions, the fact cannot be ignored
that the article Of wool has been made
a political question, with one party
advocating free wool and the opposi-
ton advocating protection. Those
who would be gratifed to ignore poll
tics and attend to business find that
the profit or loss this year hinges en-
tirely on the action of Congress
Wool seems to have become a politi-
cal foot ball, and until the next Pres
idential election periods Of depression
on one side and confidence on the
other will be apt to succeed each
other"
We take it for granted that the SEN
sible farmers of the country, Demo
cratic and Republican alike, will give
the Democratic party such crushing
defeat at the polls this fall, that it will
be long time before anyfurther tam
pering with their interests will be at
tempted by any party.

Democratic papers are making a great
blow about what the present administra-
tion is doing in the way of paying off the
public debt Good taste would seem to
require that they be still on this subject,
for two or three reasons. In the first
place, the Democratic party is response
BILE for the burden of debt that has been
weighing down the people of the country
for the last twenty years; in the second
place, if the Democrats had had their
way, the war debt of the country would
now be greater, and the means of paying
it less. Further, the present administra-
tion could not avoid what it has done, so
it is no credit to it. Please keep still,
gentlemen.

The Fourth of July began in Jackson
promptly with the striking of the twelve
o'clock bell midnight of the Sd, and con-
tinued until midnight of the 4th. With
the striking of twelve o'clock the jack
son Silver Cornet Band, the Little Ten
Band and the jackson String Band start
ed on tour of the town, and for two or
three hours those who did not hear music
of some sort must have been deaf or ex-
ceedingly sound asleep. When daylight
came the boys turned themselves loose,
and the amount of noise they made
was limited only by their ability to buy
fire crackers and torpedoes. and by their
skill in firing them off. At 9 o'clock the
Silver Cornet Band came out, and togeth-
er with the Uniform Rank knights of
Pythias, and Jackson Division No. 2, A.
o. H., made a very pretty parade through
the principal streets of the town. The
rain in the afternoon interfered material
ly with carrying out the program arrang-
ed for at the Fair Grounds, but neverthe-
less there was large crowd there. In
the evening the band gave some music
on the public square, and from eight to
nine o'clock the town was treated to
magnificent display Of fireworks. Alto
gether, it was glorious Fourth
very glorious. 1t is to be hoped the band
did not lose any money, as they did
enough hard work to justify the wish that
they might have cleared some money.

The goody-goody people who could
not support Blaine in 1884, are show
ing just now what monumental hypo-
critics they were in that campaign.
They professed then that they were
Republicans, but they were Independ-
emit Republicans. They wanted to
vote the Republican ticket but Mr..
Blaine was personally obnoxious to
them. Now that Harrison is the can
didate, they keep up their worship of
His Royal Fatness, and are shouting
themselves hoarse for free trade. The
Democracy is welcome to them, for for
one Republican that has gone to them
on the question of protection, a doz-
en- will desert the Democratic camp.

The coming campaign promises to
be the hottest one ever known in the
political history of the country. AL
ready Harrison Clubs, Tippecanoe
Clubs, Plug Hat Brigades, and all
sorts of political organizations, have
been and are being established over
the country. Ohio is now one of the
leading club states Of the Union, and
the National Club League has taken
it's form and fashioned its procedure
largely ON the plans formulated by the
Ohio League. With the large Repub-
lican majority Jackson County has so
long given, it is sadly behind the times
in the matter of permanent political
organization, and the growth Of per-
manent organizations in adjoining
counties and the stirring scenes that
are to be enacted in the State in the
next six months, demand that steps be
taken Immediately to establish a per-
manent political organization, not only
for immediate work, but for the future
good of the party.
A permanent club room where sound
political literature can always be ac-
cessible to every member, where daily
and weekly papers can be had and
read at pleasure, where the walls will
be adorned with the pictures Of the
leading statesmen of the party, living
and dead, and where the young men
of the party can meet and spend an
evening socially and in harmless
amusement, is one Of the political ne
cessities Of the day. Already steps are
being taken which promise that such
a result may be obtained. In addition
to this the young men Of the town
should take immediate steps to organ
ize Harrison Plug Hat Brigade
they are to be the popular campaign
organization of the campaign. There
are hundred young Republicans in
the town of Jackson, who, if they
could once be induced to identify
themselves with such an organization
would develop qualities for political
work that would render them valuable
allies in any political fight, whose as
sistance might never be secured in any
other way. It may seem to older per-
sons that the amount Of pay that is
realized from tramping in political
procession, carrying torch, swallow
ing smoke and dust, is not adequate
to the labor performed; but the young
men of the country have never meas
ured their patriotism by the pay, and
they will be farther from it this yeal
than ever.
The campaign Of 'S4, which was q
memorable one for the enthusiasm o1
its political demonstrations is to be
outdone by the campaign OF '8S. The
back bone of free trade Democracy is
to be broken by political clubs in the
hands Of Republican voters, and it is
time the Republicans Of this County
were getting on their harness. The
young men Of the town are cordially
urged to unite in the formation o1
these campaign organizations. Nc
difference what young mans busi.
ness is, he can take the time occasion.
ally to turn out with any club that
may be organized, and every such or
ganization will result in good.

As a general rule men who are act
lively engaged in business do not take
much interest in politics they leave
that to others. The attitude Of the
Democratic party, however, on the
tariff question, is driving great many
business men into politics, and if the
situation becomes fully understood by
business men and farmers, there will
be more active interest in the coming
election than has ever been taken in
any election ever held. There are
three firms in Jackson buying wool
J. r. Hunter & Co., Sternberger &
Chestnut, and Franklin Mill Co. These
three firms have bought some 10000
pounds of wool so far this season, and
as great many people in the north
part of the county sell their wool at
Hamden and in the south part of the
county at Portsmouth, it is safe to
put the wool clip of the county at Is,
600 pounds. We are under obligations
to j. r. Hunter for a circular from
Messrs. Justice, Bateman & Co., Wool
Commission Merchants of Philadel-
phia, Pa, containing statement of
the condition Of the Market, prices of
various grades Of wool in the United
States as compared with London, and
other interesting information. Among
other things they say:
There never was a time before
when the future Of prices for wool
was surrounded with so much uncer-
tainty. Our advice to our friends is
to consign their woods to us and have
them held until the Mills bill is dis
posed Of or until the Presidential cleo
ton. We believe that the country
will declare in favor Of protection to
American industries, and are willing
to carry woods for our friends without
extra charge for storage and insurance
until the matter is settled. To those
who favor free wool, we advise close
study Of the accompanying table. The
table will show any one interested in
wool the free trade value at this time
of the particular grade in which he is
interested, and it will also show the
value in London at this time of the
competing grades of foreign wool and
the price that will rule for the cor
responding grade of American wool
in The event of free trade, provided nc
change from present quotations oc-
ours in the markets of the world"
From this table it appears that the
grade of wool sold this year by Jack
son County farmers, if the Mills bill,
that the Democrats are making every
effort to pass, will sell under the oper-
alton Of that bill at from u to II
cents below the price of this year.
In other words, if Congress passes the
Mills bill and the wool clip of
the county is the same next
year as this, at the lowest figure
given above, Jackson County farmers
will lose in the aggregate not less
than $5, ,625 thereby. This is the sort
of care the Democratic administration
proposes to take Of the farmers. Let
every farmer who has sold wool this
season multiply his product by u and
see what his loss would have been in
dollars if the Democrats could have

A Democratic exchange says: "This is
the feast to which the Republican party
invites the taxpayers of the country:
Cheap whisky and tobacco. dear clothing,

better than Democratic editor that the
above is false. A campaign by the Re
publcans on platform of free whisky
and tobacco, would break up the Demo-
cratic party in less than sixty days.

which would require further expenditure
of public money that would make the con-
templated expenditure an extravaganza
if not great mistake. AS long as jack
son county owns the old Jail building and
allows it to stand, there is no need OF
spending money on the present Court
House to get room for public offices. The
old Jail ought to be torn down, but if the
county is not able to tear it down and
beautify the public square, the thing to
do is to make the best use of it for the
county's business. There is an abundance
of room in it for at least three offices, and
the present income from it does not be-
gin to pay the interest ON money that
would have to be invested in the addition
to the Court House Other counties in
this State who have an old Court House
on their hands and are crowded for room,
have rented outside buildings for present
use as wealthy county as Clark among
the number.
The removal of two or three offices to
the old Jail will give all the room that
could possibly be needed forsthose left in
the Court House, and the expense to the
county in thus securing the needed addi-
tional accommodations will not amount
to the interest that would have to be paid
or the money that would be invested in
the contemplated improvement. No
county official will resign his office be-
cause his Office is removed, and if any
should, there will be plenty of capable
people found to fill the vacancy.
