THE FREE WOOL FALLACY

Under this heading the Department o.
Agriculture says in the report of the
chief of that branch of the cabinet
president Cleveland says that WE
cannot grow wool as cheap here as they
can in Australia and some semi-civilizeC
countries, therefore it would be better
for the people to be employed in Other
industries and let the foreign grower.
have the benefit of our markets without
any tax. This is the argument used by
Mills and all free traders. They would
give the manufacturers free wool, and
crush an industry that affords a living
to l ,000, 900 of people. Free wool would
make large areas of land and large por-
tons of every State yalueless, as many
farmers in every State have billy por-
tions on their farms suitable only for
the pasturage of sheep, and just to the
extent that we buy from other countries
what we can produce, just to that ex-
tent do we take from our own people
the means of employment, and give it to
aliens who do not contribute a cent to-
ward the support of our Government.
A Nation dependent on foreign produc-
ton for one of the most essential neces-
saries of life, can not be independent
either in peace or war.
''1f we had the proper protection for
wool, by the year 1900 we could produce
6OO, 100000 pounds, besides one billion
of tons of mutton. The increase of our
flocks would give employment to mil
lions Of laborers. 1t would necessitate
the employment of large amount of
capital. 1t would increase the demand
for farming implements and buildings
and create demand for other supplies,
and furnish abundance of cheap meat
for every family. The President says
the people by free wool will secure
cheaper clothing. Free wool will de-
stroy our tlocks and so remove Ameri-
can competition, then when our manu-
facturers are left to the mercy of foreign
wool growers, the latter will put up the
price of their woods, and thus impose on
our people burden greeter than any
tariff, and the profit would go abb Dad.
Free wool dooms our flocks to de-
struction; it robs the country of pro
ductive wealth which protection would
give it; 1t robs labor of employment; 1t
denies the people abundance of cheap
and healthful food; it is a protest
against progress and civilization; it is a
conspiracy against National independ-
ence and even existence"

AN EXPLANATION.

What is this NERVOUS trouble" witt
which so many seem now to be afflicted
II you will remember a few years az,
the word Malaria was comparatively un
known, to day it is as common as an,
word in the English language, yet thi
word covers only the meaning of an
other word used by our forefathers il
time past. So it is with nervous diseases
as they and Malaria are intended tr
cover what our grandfathers called
Biliousness, and all are cause by trouble,
that arise from diseased condition OF
the Liver which in performing Its func-
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
bile through the ordinary channels Il
compelled to pass it off through the sys.
tenn, causing nervous troubles, Malaria.
Bilious Fever, etc. You who are suffer
ing can well appreciate cure. We
recommend Green's August Flower.
Its cures are marvellous.

The New York Sun throws out sug-
gestion to the Democracy, which it says
would be a master stroke of policy, and
it certainly contains grain of truth, as
follows, referring to tariff matters now
before Congress Leaving partisan
politics and party platforms out of sight
altogether, the Senate plan is the surer,
safer and more practicable remedy for
the evils which President Cleveland so
forcibly described in his message of last
December. When the Republican Ser
ate passes this bill it will afford the
Democrats of the House and the Demo-
Gratis in the White House political OPP
portunity such as rarely occurs, Mr.
Mills and his friends have only to re-
nounce the pride of authorship and sink
differences of opinion as to immaterial
details of surplus reduction, and they
can send to the Executive Mansion for
Mr.. Uleveland's signature before the
year ends bill made to meet the condi-
ton which confronts US. To take the
Republican Senators at their word, to
pass their bill and thereby aboih the
surpIus--that would be master stroke
eff politics."

MARY HOWE AT WORCESTER

The disappointment of our people tina
illness prevented Miss Howe from com
ing here Tuesday evening as advertised
was somewhat appeased by the promis,
OF Tuesday, Oct. 3Olh. 1t is now
certain that she wi sing here on that
dale and tickets will be the same as n
the concert had occurred the 9th. We
give below another notice of this lady
OF whom Vermonters are justly proud
and which suggests the heading above
Mr.. c, III. Stone, editor of the S.,
Johnsbury Cdtedon'dn, who attended
the recent Wore ster festival, writes in
his paper that Mary Howe made re.
markable impression, receiving such
applause and ova;irns that were accord
ed 10 no other artist present. This of
itself would hardly be evidence that she
was the greatest artist Of the fest val,
sun 1t has its bearing. Some Of the
newspaper crit c. treated her fairly,
while one or two showed plainly that
either they or some OF the singers who
had already achieved great renown.
were plqued that nineteen-year-old
Vermont girl should receive such nm
bounded applause while their own ef.
torts were mildly received. This is hut
human nature.r
The Worcester Telegram Of Sept SO.
described her first appearance In the
Festival rs follows:
She looked lovely, and she WAS dress-
ed in charming taste. 1t was a irving
moment for the young artistic. for it
was practically her first appeal TO a crit
zeal public. Germany and Vermont
are not supposed tn be critical She
chose an Indian bell song by Delibes.
AT first it was difficult to gauge her
voice, but when she had finished, the
critical ear pronounced il a good so
prano OF excellent range, with an upper
register as clear and as pure as the sill
yer tones OF flute. There was much
that was crude about her singing. but IN
the tiorid runs incidental to Delibes'
difficult song, and in the imitation OF
The silver bells Resembling" Miss
Howe aroused the audience to a al ate of |
enthusiasm which deies all description. |
Smilingly she bowed, and bowed before |
she left the platform, but still the ap.
plause continued, gathering in volume |
as the moments sped by. At Iast the
fair vocalist again appeared on the
B age, and was Immediately hailed by n
storm Of applause. Her departure did
not mend matters jpt. The clapping
still continued, culmina ing at last in a
veritable cheer which rang Justify
through the building until Miss Howe.
and smiling, consented to sing
again. She gave dainty ballad which
was as warmly applauded as before"
