Let us hope he will make an excellent
use of the advantages which others be-
fore him have had and have not utilized.
CARLISLE rs RIGHT.

Speaker CARLISLE is right. He de-
clares that the people need cheap food,
cheap clothing, cheap medicine, cheap
books and cheap tools more than they
need cheap whisky, cheap tobacco and
cheap beer. The preference to the last
named over the first-named is given by
Mr.. BLAINE, and, in fact, officially by
the Republican party; although to their
credit, be it said, Western Republicans
almost universally dissent from this
view.
There is no reason why men should
not use whisky, tobacco and beer III
moderation if they desire, but their use
is not compulsory. They can either
make use of them or leave them alone,
and if they choose the former they
ought not to object to paying for them.
With the other articles it is different.
Every one must have food, clothing,
medicine, books and tools. They are
necessaries. 1t is not possible to exist
without them. Consequently, they
should be made as cheap as possible.
That is the Democratic idea. The Re-
publican doctrine is directly opposed to
it. The Democrats have endeayored to
carry out this idea as nearly as posi-
bic under the existing circumstance OF
Republican opposition on the tariff bill
that has been presented to congress.
The Republican party, whose most
influential members are personally III
tereSted as manufacturers and import
ers in making food. clothing, medicine,
books and tools as dear as possible, who
are directly interested in getting as
much as possible out of the people. will
vigorously oppose this measure which,
though far from perfect, seeks to give
some relief to the overburdened people.
Which course will the people favor?
That which is in the direction of their
interests or that which is directly OPP
posed to them?
Speaking for tho West, which does not
favor monopoly, the answer is easy. 1t
will be given with unmistakable dis
tinctness next November at the polls.

THE WOOL TARIFF,

As class, the wool growers of the
country are very Intelligent men, and
the Northwest has its due proportion of
them; but, despite their intelligence,
there seems to be an astonishing lack of
information among them as to the exact
degree in which the wool tariff affects
their interests. To this lack of knowl-
edge with which they might easily have
supplied themselves is due the reten-
ton of the 80 per cent tariff Oh wool,
which the new tariff bill contemplates,
and the consequent tax of one-third
upon every pair OF blankets bought-a
tax inconsequential to the rich con-
sumner, but very considerable TO the poor
man. Though, i'll fighting for the reten-
ton of heavy duty on wool, the grow
ers have believed that they were labor
ing in their own interests, the facts
have been exactly to the contrary. They
have actually been doing themselves
harm Without q market, wool grow
ing, of course, can not be profitable, and
the destruction Of this market is pre-
ciSely the direction in which the efforts
of the wool men have tended.
The duty on raw wool has been such
as to discourage wooden manufactures
very effectively, even though for their
benefit the government has maintained
high tariff upon manufactured woolens
coming from other countries. Look at
the situation little. The production of
native wool has not been sufficient to
meet the demands of the manufactures;
the imposition of tax on imported raw
wool has practically prohibited that.
The natural result followed. But few
wooden mills were enabled to operate at
profit, and the number of mills has
consequently steadily decreased. In 1870
there were COZ WOODEN mills in the
United States in 1850 there were but 49O
Since 1850 in New England alone
twenty-nine mills have been destroyed
by fire, and not one of them has been
replaced. Simply because the capital
invested in them could find other more
profitable channels for its use.
What is the effect of all this? The
market having decreased, the demand
for wool is not vigorous enough to raise
the price of the comparatively small
amount that is produced. 1t has been
obliged 10 End market when and
where it ccHld. AS natural conse-
quence this competition has forced the
price down, exceptin special instances,
below the margin Of profit. The tariff

passenger would hail the English coach
the driver would drive to the right curb
to prevent collision. The passenger was
then confronted with the necessity
of walking around the rear of the
coach to the left side entrance. The
president of the company was written
to, and the result is that he has ordered
the English coaches to be built for
american uses, and has engaged two
English drivers who will adopt the
American system of turning always to
the right. The clash between English
and American usages had one good re-
suit. 1t taught the anglomaniac who
rides in blue coach because it's En-
glish, that in America our customs must
be respected if collisions would be-
avoided.

to prevent the running of coaches on

Eager to be Mentioned"

Evening Wisconsin.
: Gov. Beaver, of Pennsylvania, says
he doesn't like to have his friends men
ton his name in connection with the
Republican nomination for president.
Which reminds us Of anecdote running
somewhat thus:
A bashful country lover sat through a
long evening beside his best girl on the
hair-covored sofa of the old farm house
parlor, saying almost never a word. At
last he was startled out of his boots and
his silence by the aforesaid best girl
who exclaimed under her breath, Leave
me be-" 'sWhy, amt teched We, Sam
anthy, not once tonight" swell,
hain't you goin' to?" she tenderly
queried And the results of her strata
gem were wholly satisfactory.
The ambitious Gov. Beaver now
adopts the self-same shrewd tactics of
the country girl, but he won't have her
success.

Ii ARTHUR is CONFIDENT
That if the Men Stand Firm They
sfy-yTH Will Win

CHICAGO, March 4.-Chief Engineer
Arthur took rest to-day. Among the
first things said by Mr.. Arthur to the
reporter was: "You can deny
officially that there was any secret meet
ing of the chairmen of grievance COM
mittees held yesterday, such as de-
scribed in morning paper. 1t is ut
terly, false. The fact that the North
western railroad still holds to the CLASH
fcation system is we'll known, but no
meeting was held to discuss that. No
session of grievance committees has
been or will be held until tomorrow"
Chief Arthur then went on to chat
about the state of affairs in the Burling-
ton strike as viewed by himself and
comrades.
Our reports" said he, ''are most re-
assuring. The fact that for seven days
there has not been a break in the
Brotherhood on this line is of itself of a
most reassuring nature. On the CON
trary. we are in receipt hourly of letters
showing the loyalty of the men,"
us it not a fact, Mr.. Arthur" was
asked, "that all the Western roads are
giving the Burlington moral support
which, being equivalent to a financial
one-gives the brotherhood a clear
right to discontinue work OH these out
side roads?'
II have no means of knowing that the
other lines are giving the Burlington
moral support. If they are it is in VIC
latiOn of solemn pledge from the
managers of the other roads that they
would maintain strict neutrality. In
giving a party moral support one is not
maintaining neutral ground"
IF you found that the other roads
were doing this would you order a
strike?'
IF a grievance of that nature was
brought to my attention l should care
fully look into it,
SIS it not probable that congress will
be called on to investigate this striker
Congress will not be asked to look
into it by us. There is no necessity for
an investigation. What we have done
has been done openly and been given
to the public through the press"
In your opinion, could the manage
cenary motives in permitting the stIike
buying them in at low figureS?"
mo, think the Burlington manage
ment misery, not mercenary. They
profess willingness to pay their men
as much as their neighbors, and yet
they will not"

men sent forward for distribution on

are bonafde engineers and firemen?'

tfon?"

The Widow of Rev. Henry Ward

Meet Face to Face.
New York Mail and Express.
The return of Tennie c. Claf1in as
Lady Cook, ViscOuntess of Montserrat,
has revived good many old stories in
Brooklyn, where she and her sister,
Victoria Woodruff, now Mrs. Biddulph
Martin, were brought into undesirable
prominence in the days of the Beecher-
Tilton scandal. Mrs. Beecher and Lady
Cook met face to face upon the street a
few days since. Not muscle
in Mrs. Beecher's serene, face
moved, and 1t was thought she
did not recognize the woman
who has been in England fifteen years.
Lady Cook has not altered greatly,
either. Her hair has turned little
gray since the days when she got her
self elected colonel in the national
guard and rode down Broadway at the
head of 600 negro troops, but she is as vi
vaciouS as ever and as full of tales of the
wonderful things the Cooks and the
Martins mean to accomplish in Amer
lea. Mrs. Tilton, who lives in great re-
tirement in Brooklyn. is said to be out
of health and much agitated by the re-
vival of old memories. Lady Cook has
learned to dress while abroad, and her
tea gowns and her bOnnetS excite re-
Spectful applause.

Phil Armour's Account Book.

chicago aerdlu.
Phil Armour surveys his varied af-
fairs by the aid of an account book, six
feet wide when closed. Opened, it
stretches from one end of his little pri-
vate office to the other. 1t is novelty
in the line of stationery. Mr.. Armour
doesn't carry it around with him, nor
does he even have it on his desk. But
when he comes to look at a summary of
all his different interests, he can at a
glance on a single page of this very
broad book see the balances taken from
a score of different ledgers. The book
was devised by the skilled accountant
who few years ago had charge of the
Armour office. Its purpose is to save
the millionaire the labor of going from
one ledger TO another to find out how he
stands at his banks, at his packing
houses, in his speculationS and invest
ments.

THE ST. LAWRENCE CANALS
To Be Improved, SO That UnbrOken
CargOes Can Be Taken Through
From Duluth.

MONTREAL, March 4.-Business men
and those connected with forwarding
companies or interested in vessels are
much encouraged by the announce
ment that the government proposes
to proceed vigorously with the
work of enlarging the st. Lawrence
canals. 1t has been apparent that the
vast expenditure on the Welland canal
must remain of little direct benefit till
the ST. Lawrence canals are made of
corresponding capacity. There has
been no money in carrying grain
to Kingston for transportation to
Montreal by the barge lines.
The cost of handling at Kingston and
trans-shipment practically destroyed
the natural advantages of the Canadian
route, but the appropriation now made
by the government to deepen the st.
Lawrence canals to fourteen feet will
enable the majority of lake vessels to en-
gage cargOes at Duluth, Chicago, or other
lake ports of the upper lakes and bring
their leads clear through without break
ing cargo. thus effecting large saving.
The government, it is now pretty
thoroughly settled, will adopt last
years method of dealing with the toll
question. and grain shipments will be
practically free from tolls when billed
for this port

has done its work, and the wool pro-
ducers are losers instead of gamers.
- But with free wool, what would hap
pen? The answer is easy. Manufact-
ures would be stimulated. With an in
crease in the supply there would follow
an increase in the demand. Manufact-
urers would no longer be compelled to
shut down for lack of sufficient raw ma
terial. Markets would be created where
none now exist, and the wool grower
would find competition for his product
which does not DOW exist. The only diff
ference would be more marked discrIm
ination in grading, and consequent III
fluence brought to bear upon the pro-
ducer to better the quality of his
product.

Will Continue Retaliation.
PHILADELPHIA, March 4.-The fol-
lowing statement by Mr.. Eastman was
prepared by direction of Chairman Lee,
of the Reading strikers, and was in
dorsed this evening by the Reading
railway employees executive board:
1.-The remonstrance of the engineers
and firemen of the Chicago, Burlington
q Quincy railroad against the attitude
assumed by the Reading railroaders in
stepping into the places recently
vacated by the former has
given rise to the impression that
they are the injured and
aggrieved party. Have they for
gotten the time when the knights were
striking against oppression in the
Southwest, how their chief was the
means of causing the strike to termi-
nate in disastrous and ignominiOuS
failure? This is one of the many ag-
gressive and unfriendly acts perpe-
trated by the brotherhood at the inStI-
their selfish policy they again stepped
in to defeat the knights and render the the
Reading railroad strike unsuccessful.
Mr.. Arthur was particularly officious in
proffering aid to the Reading officials
by Offering to supply the places
of the strikers with the broth
erhood men. After passively en-
during defeat on these several occa-
sions through the instrumentality of
the brotherhood, forbearance at length
ceased to be virtue, and the knights
adopted the law of retaliation, and |
aUthOritatiyely state they will not re-
linquish the position they have taken
until MI. Arthur redresses the wrong
he perpetrated against them, by with
drawing every brotherhood man on the
Reading system, including the Bound
