A CONTEMPTIBLE LIE.

1t is the constant assertion of the men
who oppose the election of General Harri-
son to the Presidency, that his triumph
will mean free whisky and unlimited
drunkards." Let the voters in whom this
twaddle awakens any alarm, reflect for one
moment upon the reasonableness of such a
charge. The truth is that it is the des-
perate resort of men desperately struggling
to restore the old condition of things.
when the South ruled the nation and the
North was brought to It's knees through the
subserviency of Northern Democrats. The
free whisky cry is "rot," and the meanest
and most contemplate Of campaign resorts.
There is in it nothing more nor less than
Democratic falsehood and Confederate
brigadier chicane. That is the long and
short of the whole matter. 1t has come
to this, that the Democracy, which for
twenty-five years has howled against the
outrage of the Yankee war taxes.'',
known as "internal revenue" now howls
because it is proposed to abandon portion
of such taxes, in case it becomes necessary
to do so to prevent the removal of pro-
lection from the material industries of the
country. He who would not do as much

THE ELECTION oUTRAGEs.

The outrages upon the ballot-box in San
Francisco on Thursday cause every self
respecting citizen to blush with indigna-
ton. It makes no sort of difference what
political party is to blame, or whether the
brutal men who perpetrated the crimes are
Republicans or Democrats-the infamy of
Thursdays proceedings is menace to free
institutions. 1t was the legitimate child
of boss rule and was born at the expense
of human life, the loss of which is charge
able directly to the vicious bossism that in
both parties struggles with its own for
dominance. The shameless violation of
law in illegally voting in invading poll
ing-places with gangs of hireling ruffians ;
in breaking up ballot-boxes by assaulting
election officers; by firing polling-booths; !;
by beating inspectors and inhumanly set
ting one on fire when sprinkled with coal
oil, was bad enough; but when it came to
invasion of the Republican Committee
rooms with arms and the shooting down of
human beings, the elimination of the
days disgraces was reached, and not only
the city of San Francisco, but the system
of ascertaining the will of the people,
covered with shame. There should be
such an example made of the ruffians who
we've guilty of these outrages as will strike
terror to the souls of the bosses and boss
servitors. The political parties in San
Francisco must sooner or later wash their
hands clean of any relation to the wretches
who make such scenes as those of Thus
day possible. Unless they do SO, the peo-
pie will desert them. The civilization of
the age will not much longer tolerate
political systems under which it is possible
for ruffianism to dominate at the polls or
to invade the sanctuary of the right of the
citizen-the ballot-box.

MR.. F0LLET AND THE WOOL IN
DUSTRY

Mr.. tollet, the Democratic orator. who
fattered the Democracy and libeled Re-
pubheans In speech in this city on We'd
nesday, took occasion to refer to the tariff,
and to declare that in the matter of wool
growing the tariff had never benefited the
industry, and that we need the fine foreion
woods to mix with the home product. We
have not thought it essential to go into de-
tailed replies to Mr.. Follet's vagaries-as we
intimated yesterday, the game is scarcely
worth the candle. But the recital of n
few facts concerning this wool question
may be of interest, though the exposure of
the untruth of the assertions of the Dem
oeracy has been frequently made.
There are engaged in wool-growing 7oo.-
600 people in the United States, and half
a million more labor in the industry. Mr..
Mills says in defense of his bill that WOOL
growing is natural process and not an
industry involving skilled labor-a state
ment that wool-growers will scarcely ac-
cept, who too well know the labor and
capital involved, the skill demanded, and
the agricultural interests affected. There
are besides these wool-growers and helpers
in Mr.. Mills " natural process" 10000
farmers who keep few sheep. Dependent
on all these are fully 100000 women,
and aged. So we have quite

Or anywhere in the section between

100000 people interested in wool-grow-
ing. OF sheep, we have 5O,000,000 in the
United States, and their raising employs
over IL, 100000 acres. The value of the
wool crop is about S77,0O0,000 yearly,
while the mutton value of sheep is S122,-
100000 annually. To strike down wool
growing viii not cheaper mutton, for men
will not raise it for amusement. 1t is now
the cheap food when it is raised for itself
alone it will be the dear food. To
strike down the wool industry and
admit free the foreign growth, will cause
shrinkage in the value of lands, in labor,
in decrease of focks and of wool product,
of 1856, 100000, says Mr. Washington Belt
in his admirable monograph upon the sub
ject. 1t is to be admitted that with wool
free-listed, the manufacturer will get his
raw material at $25,OO0,0OO less cost than
now. But with Mr.. Belt, we cannot believe
the people will receive that beneficial
value. The manufacturer and merchant
will absorb half of it in augmented profits,
and we may add that there can be no as
surance given that foreign and home
manufacturers will not combine to main
tain the prices of the manufactured product.
Mr.. Belt asserts that we are now growing
in the United States nearly full supply
of the finer grades of wool, and need to
import but about 100000 pounds. I'm
der protection we will presently be able to
grow all the fine grade wool We need. Mr..
Belt insists that worsteds, now under too
low a duty, should be made to pay like
duty with woolens, and that the admission
Of ring, thread, roony and stubbing waste
under duty of ten cents causes serious
loss to wool-dealers, as every pound of
waste" takes the place of a pound of fine
secured wool. Now, has protection fostered
wool production? In 1859 we produced
100000 pounds, and imported S42, $4,000
worth of woolen goods in 1869 we pro-
duced 162,000,000 and imported to the
value of $36676,000. In 1879 we produced
232,00o,o00 pounds, and imported to the
value of S350l9,0OO. These figures speak
for themselves. They could be continued
to date and much elaborated, to show that
the fact is that wool-growing in the United
States without a protective tariff would
cease, and that the people would not reap
eompensatinp benefits
