An Easy Question.

VIII some democratic free-trader kindly tell
us how the removal of the tariff on wool will
make high-priced wool for the farmers and low
priced clothing for mechanics and other town
people?
The question is asked by an Ohio paper
and reproduced in the Journal. 1t is an
easy one to answer. Most of the foreign
wool that our manufacturers use is mixed
with domestic wool in the making of fab
RIGS. The cheaper the foreign wool can
be bought, the cheaper the manufacturer
can produce his fabrics. The cheaper he
produces them, the greater will be the
demand. The greater the demand for his
goods, the greater his demand for wool,
both domestic and foreign. The greater
the demand for wool, the better price it
will command. Nearly one-half the wool
en- mills in the country are idle to-day,
while we are importing $44,000,000 of
wooden goods, and exporting barely $780,
600. With free wool, these mills could
start up and make the bulk of this S44,-
100000 of goods which are now made for
us in England, Scotland, France and Ger
many. Instead of exporting half million
OF wooden goods, we could soon export
ten or fifteen millions. There is no mys-
terry about it at all. There is no theory
about il either because experience shows
Just what free raw materials will do for the
country. With free hides, we export over
Sl0000,000 of leather, and with free cot
ton, we export over $l5,000,00o of cotton
goods. When wool was on the free list,
before the war, our farmers got more for
their wool than they have ever got since
it was protected"
Free wool means
Cheaper and better clothing for the
people.
A better market for the domestic manu-
facturer, and
A better demand and higher wages for
the textile workers.

A New Story BY "Ouida."

Miss DORA RUssELL's brilliant story, ga
lStrange Message" which has been run
ming for several months in THE WEEKLY
-SExIINEI, is drawing to close. The last
installment will appear in the issue for
! Oct so. In the same issue (Oct. 30)
we shall begin the publication OF
splendid new novel, entitled Guide
roy" by "Ouida," the author of "Under
Two Flags" Moths" "Strathmore, /"
f'Two Little Wooden Shoes" ETC., etc.
"Ouida" is one of the most popular of
modern novel writers. Her stories have
been translated into nearly all the Europ-
can languages, and have been read
by millions OF people. "Guilderoy,"
her latest effort, is, it is said, conceived
IN her best style, has well-defned plot,
clearly-drawn characters, and is marked
by a refined and subtle analysis of the
mingled good and evil in the human
heart"
We think we can safely promise the
readers of THE WEEKLY SENTINEL rare
treat in this latest production of the most
popular living writer of English fiction.

CIeveIand's War on Thieves.

We invite attention to a remarkable
letter from Denver which we print this
morning. 1t is well worth reading.
1t shows the character and power of the
corporation and monopoly influences
which are arrayed against President
CLEVELAND in the far West because of his
fidelity to the interests OF the people and
his remorseless pursuit of the public
plunderers who have amassed fortunes in
that region by methods which ought to
have landed them all in the penitentiary.
The administration OF President CLEvE-
LAND is the first one since the war which
has not been controlled, in so far
as their own interests were con-
cerned, by the greedy and conscience
less rings of so-called Spectator" that
dominate the politics and business of
the new West. The rascally millionaires
who compose these rings have carried
things with high hand for many years.
They have taken possession of and fenced
in millions of acres of the public lands,
to which they have no more right than
they have to the crown jewels in the tower
of London; they have manipulated, in the
interest of their schemes OF iobbery, the
territorial legislatures and the territorial
officials, whose appointments they were,
as a rule, allowed to dictate, in considera-
ton of liberal contributions to repub-
ican campaign funds; they have
robbed and plundered and defrauded
the government and individuals at their
own sweet will, and until GROVER CLEvE-
LAND became president the power of the
national government was systematically
exerted to protect them in their nefarious
operations.
He compelled them to tear down
the fences with which they had illegally
inclosed the public lands, and to
remove their cattle from them; he has ap
pointed territorial officials whom they
could not bully or corrupt, and who nave
frustrated many of their schemes of vii
lainy; he has put a stop TO their timber
stealing and their cattle stealing, SO far as
it was possible to do so. Hence it is that
these rings are united in opposition to
him. They are prepared to spend
money freely in behalf OF Gen. HAIR
RIsoN, from whom they have moth
ing to fear. HARRISON is closely
Unidentified in politics and business with
some of the ringleaders in these plumber
ing combines and they feel certain, and
with reason, that if he is elected president
they will have things their own way once
more, as in the days of GRANT, HAYES,
GARFIELD and ARTHUR.

of Arkansas, BREcKENRIDGE OF Ken
lucky, TURNER of Georgia, WILSON of
West Virginia, ScoTT of Pennsylvania
and BYNUM of Indiana, democrats;
and Messrs. KELLY OF Pennsylvania,
BROWNE of Indiana, REED of Maine, Nc
KINLEY of Ohio and Burrows of Michi-
gan, republicans. The democratic ma
jority of the committee agreed among
themselves upon the first draft OF the
Mills bill, and then submitted it to the
full committee. This is in accordance
with custom when political measures $50
considered are prepared. The republican
members of the finance committee OF the
senate have been engaged for the past six
or eight weeks in drafting tariff bill, and
they have not vet consulted the demo-
cratic members OF the committee. How
many of the southern members OF tie
ways and means committee served In the
Confederate army we do not know, nor Is
it material. We know that Mr.. Coop
ING's statement is incorrect, because some
of the southern members of the commit
tee were mere boys when the war ended.
But what difference does it make to
sensible men who framed the bill, or
what states they came from? If the bill
is good measure; If it is for the bene-
fit OF the whole country; If it will
relieve the farmers and working
classes and check monopolies; ii it
will release the idle millions in the
treasury and put them in circulation, it
matters not who drew it up. The bill
must be judged onits merits. 1t carries
out the policy advocated by GRANT, GAR
FIELD and ARTHUR, by FoLGER and
MCCULIocH and HENRY WILSON and
CHARLES SUMNER and WILLIAM B. ALL
son and JOHN SHERMAN and Ben HARRI-
SON in past years; it is in accord with the
demands of both political parties in Indi-
ana for twenty years past. Why doesn't
Mr.. GooDING address himself to the merits
of the bill, and show how it will injure
the country to break up the salt monopoly
and the lumber trust, and the sugar trust,
and to give our manufacturers free raw
materials? The very fact that he feels it
necessary to appeal to prejudices and pas
sions which no patriot would seek to re-
vive, instead OF discussing calmly and
fairly the merits of the proposition, shows
that he knows the weakness of his case.
The statement that the Mills bill is sec
tional is wholly false. II there is any dis
elimination in it, it is against the South
and not against the North. 1t reduces the
protective taxes on all important southern
products now on the tariff schedules, and
places some of them on the free list The
chairman of the committee, Mr.. Mills,
comes from the second wool state of the
Union, and wool goes on the free list. So
do hemp and flax, which are leading
southern products. Sugar and rice are
reduced more than the average reduction
in the bill. The charge of sectionalism is
a silly one, and any one who will read the
bill will perceive its falsity at once.

gland. And yet the Iowa manufacturers
paid SO per cent. higher wages than the
North Carolina manufacturers, and more
than held their own against the latter,
turning out, the last census year, from
their thirty-four establishments. products
OF more than double the value of the
products of the forty-nine establishments
in North Carolina. Now, if the Journal
will show how the Iowa manufacturers
can pay SO per cent. higher wages than the
North Carolina manufacturers, and, in
open competition with the latter, outstrip
them, it will itself answer the question
which it defes any free trader" to an
swer.
The question, indeed, is fully an
swered by the facts we have given. "a
manufacturer cannot compete successfully
with another who gets cheaper labor"
say Ben HARRISON and the Journal, unless
he is heavily protected against him"
But manufacturers do so compete right
here in the United States, as we have
shown. The wooden manufacturer of New
Hampshire pays Sl.6l day; in the next
state, Vermont, his rival pays but Sl.3l.
Yet New Hampshire is far ahead Of YER
mont as a wooden manufacturing state,
turning outin 1880 overSS, 100000 of goods,
while Vermont turned out but little
over 100000 So Pennsylvania pays
Sl.65, while her neighbor, New Jersey,
pays but S1.21, yet Pennsylvania manu-
facturers make just as much money as
those Of New Jersey. You say it can't
be done, do you, Mr.. Jounolg Well, it IS
done, right under your very nose, and the
proofs, as given above, will be found in
the Compendium OF the Tenth Census"
vol. 2, PIP. 1l9l-1201.
II the Journal will grapple with the facts
we have here presented it will find some
thing else to do but below free trade
and wave the bloody shirt for some days
to come.

The report of CARROLL ID. WRIGHT, u. S.

wages OF employees in wooden mills in the
United States was Si.49 per day, against So
cents per day in British mills. Annual report
for 1886, page 226 We defy any free trader
10 show how American manufacturers, with
free wool, could compete with British manu-
facturers without an equalization Of wages.
The report TO which the Journal refers
shows (page 225) the average daily rate of
wages of adult male textile workers in
various states TO be as follows: Maine,

Iowa manufacturers paid much higher
wages than those of any other state.

Gen. Harrison's NIendacity.


1t is not pleasant to be obliged to con-
Wet candidate for the highest Office in
the gilt OF the people Of absolute, unequiv-
ocal falsehood, but Mr.. HARRIsoN's method
of discussing campaign issues leaves no
other course open. Some days since, on
the occasion of his assertion, There is
not to-day, there never has been, repub-
lican community where man cannot set
forth his opinions unmolested, we showed
the utter falsity of his words by long list
of infamous outrages perpetrated on pro-
hibition speakers in the strongest repub-
lican counties of this state during the
present campaign. In mis- letter of accept
ance Mr.. HARRISON commits an equally
inexcusable breach of truth. In discuss
ing the position of the democracy on the
tariff question, he says:
We cannot doubt, without impugning their
integrity, that, if free 10 act upon their convc-
tons, they would so revise our laws as TO lay
the burden OF the customs revenue upon arti-
cles that are not produced in this country, and
to place upon the free list all competing foreign
products.
On the contrary, he cannot make this
statement without impugning the integ
rity of Mr.. CLEVELAND and the entire
democratic party. In his great tariff re-
form message of Dec. 6, 1887, which is the
basis of the issues of this campaign, Mr..
CLEVELAND explicitly says: "Under our
present laws more than 1000 articles are
subject to duty. Many of these do not in
any way compete with our own manu-
features, and many are hardly worth atten-
ton as subjects OF revenue. A consider
able reduction can be made in the aggre-
gate by adding them to the free list"
This message was declared by the ma
tional democratic convention to be cor
rect exposition OF democratic doctrine, and
has been similarly Endorsed by the vari-
GUS state conventions. 1t is impossible
that Mr. HARRISON should not have had
knowledge OF these facts We have no
special objections TO Mr.. HARRIsoN s airing
his Cheap John demagogy by arguing
what the tendency" OF democratic doc
trine may be; but TO assert that 1--WE can
not doubt without impugning their integ-
rity" proposition which is directly the
opposite of the democratic avowal, is
as fiat falsehood as would be on
our part declaration that Mr.
HARRISON, in his message, opposed
applying the surplus to the payment Of
outstanding bonds. When the candidate
for the presidency makes such statements
as those above quoted; when JOHN M
BUTLER says, in printed article, "Under

ferently graded from the law OF 1888 that
ii is difficult to say whether the Mills bill
tariff on sugar is greater or less than the
tariff OF 1882; when w. Ii. ii. MILLER de-
cares TO public audiences that the Mills
bill does not propose reductions to the
amount OF per cent. on sugar and rice !;
what extent OF mendacity may we reason
ably expect from the common run of re-
publican statesmen

Probable Effects of Tariff Reduction

To THE EDToR-Sir: Please answer the fol-
lowing:
l. If the tariff is reduced, will not prices
upon commodities remain the same if there is
not an increased Importation?
.. If there be an increased importation,
how is it going to reduce the surplus?
Houston, Ind, Sept 4. JOHN n. P.
l. Certainly not. The reductions con-
templated are principally upon raw ma
terials, which will enable our manufact-
urers to produce such things as clothing.
furniture, etc, etc, cheaper than at pres
ent. They will have to modify their prices
of the same to consumers in order to hold
their trade.
2. The additions to the free list will
make a substantial reduction in the reve-
nue. to begin with. Last year the tariff
on articles that the Mills bill puts on the
free list produced a revenue of about 500,
100000. This will be wiped out if that
bill becomes a law, and there is no reason
to anticipate very large increase of impor-
tations of dutiable articles, because it is
quite certain that our domestic manufact-
urers can supply the bulk of them as
cheaply as their foreign rivals, with the
latter at an average disadvantage of ~ per
cent, as they will be under the Mills bill.
1t cannot be too strongly impressed upon
the popular mind that the principal
changes made by the Mills bill are in the
direction of cheapening raw materials
that with cheaper raw material our manu-
facturers will be enabled to produce more
cheaply without reducing wages; that
cheaper production means a larger do
mestic consumption and larger exports,
and that these things means better de-
mand for labor, with corresponding i'm
provement in wages.

The oBalance of Trade Delusion.
We find this highly impressive para
graph in the Journal of Friday:

llle JOttTIlVf Oh L
The present head of the bureau of statistics,
at Washington, is a dyed-in-the-wool democrat
from Missouri, and would not let any statistics
untavorable TO the democratic party go out of
his office if he could help it. Yet his last re-
port shows that the imports of the United
states for the year ending June 80, 1888, were
S7s3,OO0,000 and the exports were $742, 0O0, 600,
leaving balance of trade of 81 100000 against
u.s. In the last year of republican administra-
ton, ending June 80, 1885, our imports were
500, 10000 and our exports $751;, 059 900, show
ing balance of $3.50, 10000 in our favor.
In what way the fact that we imported
more than we exported during the last
fiscal year is "unfavorable TO the demo-
cratic party" It would puzzle the Journal
to explain. What the democratic party
or the republican party as such has to do
with our exports or imports it would also
puzzle it toshow. Likewise it would puz-
zle the Journal to trace any connection
between the tariff and this adverse ''bal-
ance of trade" that it is distressed about.
since the tariff has not been changed in
the slightest particular since the last year
of republican administration. More than
anything else it would puzzle it to tell
what it means by "a balance of trade
against u.s." and why such balance is
bad thing. In thirty of the last fifty-one
years the "balance OF trade" was against"
us. During the twenty-four years of re-
publican rule it was against us" twelve
years, and Sin favor" of us twelve years.
The balance of trade" has been against
us most OF the time since the arrival OF
the Mayhower, yet the country has been
growing richer all the time. The ''bal-
ance OF trade" is always against England,
and England is also getting richer all the
time.
When an individual pays out less than
he takes in he is supposed to be doing
we'll, from material standpoint. When he
pays out more than he takes in he is sup
posed to be doing i'll. But when nation
takes in more than itpays out, the balance
of trade is said to be against it by certain
erratic economists; and vice versa. And
an adverse balance of trade" is almost as
great a bugaboo to these queer people as
a famine or a pestilence.
The Journal is evidently possessed of
the silly balance of trade deluslon, and
hence the grotesque editorial deliverance
which has called forth these few genial
observations
