THE EaEE.IRApE BILL.

The Entering wedge Driven In 1t the
Foot q the Grand Protection Oak.
The Democratic party has officially
registered its adoption of the Presi-
dents free-trade policy. The Mills bill
has passed the House with margin OF
thirteen votes. The character OF this
measure is determined by its essential
feature-the free wool clanse. BY that
sign it is known of all men az free
trade measure. Even if This charac-
teristic feature were lacking. the files
Of the Congregational Record bear wit
ness on every Democratic page to the
purposes of the party leaders who have
forced this measure through the House.
Every Southern membes of the major
ity party in the House WHO has spoken
in the tariff debates has declared his
hostility to protection and his SYM
patty with free trade. The Northern
Democrats have followed the Southern
leaders with servility. the majority Of
them being as extreme in their TRADES
against protection as the brigadiers
who made free-trade constitution for
the Southern COnfederacy. Only foul
voices on that side have been raised
against the bill during the prolonged
debate. A measure advocated as this
has been can not mean any thing blu,
free trade. 1t is the entering wedge
driven in by the Presidents command
at the foot Of the noble protection oak
whose branches overspread the land
Let the President and his party tri.

KILLING AN INDUSTRY.

The Knect Of the Mills Bill on the Wool
Interests Of the Country.
The effect of the passage of the Mills
bill even through one House of Con.
gress is felt at once. Its blasting in
fluence upon one branch of business is
shown suddenly and disastrOusly. The
big wool house of Hall Brothers in this
city failed few days ago. 1t was not
in good condition and the outlook was
not such as to justify further effort.
An assignment was made.
In q court of justice. the force Of the
blow at an American industry was
made apparent. Part OF the wool Of
Hall Brothers is stored, and rival
creditors present claims. There is in
a warehouse a stock of this wool val
ued at $l3O,OO0. The various claim.
ants desire to inspect this stock, but il
is not wise to allow them time. Whys
Simply because, as the representative
of the assignee stated as a matter OF
business to the court, the Mills bill
having passed the House wool is de-
clining in value, and the commodity
should be sold Immediately if creditors
are to get what is due them.
Here was no political buncOmb Q
Here was a business fact given from a
business necessity. Already the Mills
bill has crippled the wool industry of
the United States. There is not a
dealer with wool in his possession,
there Is not q farmer from the At
lantic to the Pacific who owns single
sheep, who is not a poorer man than
he was before the bill reached its pres
emit stage. Were it a certainty that
the measure would pass the Senate he
would be poorer still.
The farmers of the country are sacri-
feed by the Democratic party for the
benefit Of the wool-growers of England
and Australia. That is the situation
in q sentence. There is no chance for
bubble or evasion in the matter. The
cheaply-gr0wn wool of other countries
is allowed to come in and ruin the
market for wool of home production.
1t is something = schoOl-boy may COM
prehend.
The destruction of the wool industry
is but one incident in the destruction
of industries which would follow the
adoption Of the Democratic pro-
gramme. It is but an illustration
made particularly forcible by the fact
that we have already before our eyes
striking proof of the evil that may be
wrought by the free-trade scheme

HARRlsoN.s RECORD.

Some Pacific Coast Opinions Relating to
the Chinese Question.
San Francisco Bulletin: The record
of General Harrison. the nominee O.
the Republican party for the Presi-
dency, is Identical with that Of every
anti-C Chinese citizen of California.
San Francisco Call Qnd.): If the
Chinese bill which Mr.. Harrison re-
ported had been enacted it would have
kept thousands of Chinese out who will
come in under the new treaty.
San Francisco Post: The voters will
have no difficulty il deciding which
party favors Chinese exclusion. The
interests of the coast will be far safer
in the hands of MIR. Harrison, who as
sisted in framing the exclusion act.
than in the hands of Mr.. Cleveland,
who killed it.
Sacramento Record Union: He re-
ported and voted for anti Chinese legis-
lation as soon as treaty contracts ad-
mitted it, and he stands pledged upon q
platform clear and satisfactory upon
the question discussed. He is disclosed
in strongly favorable contrast with his
opponent, who but few short weeks
ago was anxiously inquiring Of Cali.
fornians il it was not possible to Chris
tianize the Chinese and bring them into
harmony with our system of civiliza-
tion-thus displaying a surprising de-
gree of ignorance upon the subject.
San Francisco Call Qnd.): The at
tempt to create prejudice against
Harrison on this coast on the Chinese
question will not cost him vote.
Harrison stood in 1873 where Eastern
men generally stood He did not COM
prehend the magnitude of the question
nor the urgent need OF legislation. The
Burlingame treaty was then in force,
which provided for the immigration OF
Chinese. On this coast we regarded
the need of legislation as SO urgent
that we asked Congress to prohibit
Chinese immigration without regard to
the treaty. General Harrison. with
many others, thought it better to wait
until treaty was obtained as basis
of the legislation proposed. The Angel
Swift treaty was formed two years
later, and Senator Harrison has since
placed himself on record az an op-
ponent of Chinese immigration.
Oakland Times: Mr.. Harrison never
did vote to enfranchise Cinnamon,
never did vote against the Chinese
treaty. never did advocate the admis-
sion of the Chinese, but did in fact ad-
vocate their total exclusion. He did
insist. however, that this exclusion
should be accomplished under and not
by violating treaty stipulations. He
did, therefore, oppose Senate bill
which aimed at the exclusion of the
Chinese, not because it SO aimed, but
because as a sound constitutional
lawyer he opposed such violation OF
the high respect due to treaties. and
an abrogation of treaty obligations
which. were they with a nation Of
equal power. would amount to dec.
laration of war. In short, Mr..
Harrison did at that time just what
the Democratic House did at the last
session of Congress, when it refused to
pass any further exclusion acts because
of the deliberations pending upon
Cleveland's new treaty.

1.-THE OLD ROMAN"
A Democratic Slogan Which Is Clevs
Case Of Misflt.

ID emOcrattc Slogan Which Is . Clever
Case Of disf1t.
The Romans were the most patriotic
and loyal people of their day. and no
doubt rejoiced in the poetic boast that
to be a Roman was greater than King.
From this it would appear that the
designation of Allen G. Thurman as an
..old Roman is not historically COR
rect. Thurman was any thing but loyal.
Indeed, so far from being patriotic
when the country needed patriotism. he
seems to have been an influential men,
Der of that odiOus faction of the nations
enemies, for whom no other word has
been devised than Comprehend. ;"
Now, the typical COpperhead was the
worst enemy the flag had in the try
ing times" He was covert, insidi0us,
too cowardly to fight and too treason
able to be neutral. That is the kind of
a man Thurman is represented to have
been. After the battle of Pittsburgh
Landing, a number of Confederate
prisoners were taken to Columbus.
Thurman and other sympathizers
with the rebellion at once made
it their business to make things
pleasant for the prisoners. 1t soon
came to be quite a luxury to be q
rebel prisoner. But Thurman had no
kindness to bestOw upon the Union
soldiers who guarded his friends, the
snemy. and the loyal legions began to
manifest discontentment that the lot Of
the captive should be made so much
easier than that Of the captor. So far
did this go that Secretary Stanton, at
the instance of Governor Todd, issued
an order interdicting Thurman in his
manifestations of devotion to the Con-
federates. With unsurpassed magnan-
unity the Confederate officers were
released on parole and they at once
became the subject Of the most distin-
guished consideration at the Thurman
residence. If the leaders of the loyal
armies themselves had been there then
they could not have been hOnored more
and more cordially. So odious were
these Copperhead demonstrations that
the Governor again felt it necessary to
interfere and the Confederate officers
were returned to prison, much to the dis
gust of Thurman. This does not read
much like history of the sturdy old
Roman of history. Thurman's public
services since that time cover multi
tude of sins, but the "Old Roman

The writer. who evidently under
stands the tariff question. goes on to
demonstrate that the prediction made
by the iron men proved true in every
particular. The rate was reduced from
about $40 or $12 to q. serious embar-
rassment followed, and many of the
plants suspended operations. The En-
glish manufacturers took advantage of
the situation and imports were largely
increased 1928, and prices were ad-
vanced to $50 ton until the American
furnaces again started. 1t took five
years to overcome this adverse piece of
legislation. He further proves that
while the production OF pig iron has
increased over 100 per cent. (from
$50, 600 in 1871 to 400, 102 tons in 1887.
and that while the price of the product
has decreased 100 per cent, wages
have gone down but . per cent, or
just about the premium on gold in
1871.
Intimately knowing Mr.. Scott from
long business association, many She
mango Valley iron manufacturers have
been at loss to understand his change
of heart since entering Congress. and
can not account for it unless it is be-
cause he has gotten out OF the iron
business altogether and is just now
working for political prominence and
glory in the Democratic party. Shan
