CONSCIOUSNESS of Emotions.

Frances Power Cobbe, in an article

demoralizing effects of attending cruel

English woollen and worsted fabrics to
the United States ~ ill be an exceedingly
difficult operation to carry on with a
profit, and, instead of looking to Eng
land to supply their needs, the American
consumers will turn more and more to
their own manufacturers. To call this
free trade is, in his opinion, an entire
misapplication of terms.
The views expressed on this subject
which we have Just given are those en-
tertained by some of the ablest and
clearest headed manufacturers in this
country. They foresee that a simplifica-
ton of the tariff which will give them
free raw materials, will supply them
with enormous advantages that they do
not now possess, and we have not a lit
tie ground for asserting that when in a
week or two more the conference be-
tween the woollen manufacturers and
the wool growers takes place at Wash
ington, it will be found that the former
are altogether unwilling to continue the
compact that has hitherto bound these
two interests together. to the serious dis
advantage of the manufacturer. While
it may be difficult to have wool trans
ferred to the free list at this session OF
Congress, we shall not be IN the least
surprised to find in the political cam
paign of next summer and fall the Re
publican leaders of this section of the
country advocating the cause of free
wool, as one of the greatest benefits that
can be given to New England interests.

Will Try to Pay the Debt.


1t was reported by telegraph the other
day that Mr.. Groschen, the British
finance minister, was endeavoring to re-
arrange the funded debt, now amount
ing to 81 800, 900 900, so that ii could be
redeemed in successive installments. An
effort will also be made to reduce the
rate of interest from three TO two and a
half per cent. 1t is true that the debt
has been gradually reduced during the
last three reigns-in all about $400, 900, =
OOO-while at the same time the aggre-
gate wealth of the nation has increased
enormously, so that the burden put upon
taxpayers is light compared with that
borne for years after the close of the
Napoleonic wars: but the opinion is en-
tertained that the rivalry for the trade
of the world will be much sharper than
heretofore, and il is felt that England
must he put in a better position to COM
pete for it by reducing the burden of the
debt. 1t may well be that English
statesmen are convinced of the neces-
sity Of a movement of the kind contem-
plated by Mr.. Goschen. by the course of
events in this country They see that
our debt, now less than half the English,
is being rapidly paid off, and that an
earnest movement is being made toward
the cheaper production upon which orr
standing in the markets of the world
depends. They are quick to recognize
the fact that if American manufacture
ers are given free raw materials they will
quickly dispute English supremacy
