OUR local echo OF the New York
Evening Post said last evening that the
total yearly wool clip Of Pennsylvania
did not exceed $3.50, 600 in value. OF
course this is not true. In 1880 Penn
sylvania shepherds clipped s,470, 273
pounds of wool, worth at least
s., 1o0,0 600. Last year the sheep Of
Pennsylvania produced : 1000 600 pound
Of wool, worth not lees than 81, 750, 900
How do these figures compare with
$3.50, COO? To be sure Every Evening
did not know any better, hut it stated
its misinformation with all the solem
nifty which honest newspapers use in
stating facts and truths. An error
OF a million or two in a free trade
argument is, Of course, Of very
little consequence. The free trader
does not base his ''arguments' on facts.
He is content with fiction, like the
above, and then he calls the whole
mixture "honest politics" We have
no expectation, however, OF inducing
our local echo Of the New York Even
ing Post to correct its misstatement.
It will 60 right on making others as il
it imagined that all its readers were
fools.

lie will be interesting to the workers
in the shipyards of Wilmington to
learn that the Argentine Republic, one
of the struggling South American
countries. has guaranteed loans aggre-
eating e61o, 000.or about 50, 900, TO
a local company towards the main
tenance of two steamship lines, one to
Europe and the other to the United
states. Here is a country not fiftieth
mart as rich as the United
States substituting two merchant
steamship lines. But what the Argen-
tine Republic lacks in money, i more
than makes up in the good sense ana
patriotism Of its rulers. They know
that steamship lines cannot be eetab
lished in these days without subsidies,
and knowing this, they wisely and
courageouely tax the people IN order 70
pay the subsidies. In this country with
an OVERLOOKING treasury, one bran'h
Of Congress has steadfastly refused TO
vote such suhsldies for fear that the
surplus Of The treasury might be pui

Where the Argentine Republic can

years no one doubts. The next Con

is unmisiakable that the sentiment Of
the country is in that direction.
Let the worker in the shipyards Of
Wilmington reflect where such a poll
CIV of the nation would place this com
munity. Letlhim speculate on the advan-
tages lnat would accrue TO him anc
the entire community if Congress
should by generous subsidies induce
American companies to build
American lines Of steamships. This
is precisely what Congress Of protec

"And why this enthusiasm over the

'On the adoption Of free trade by the
United States depends the greater share
of English prosperity for good many
years to come. Aud the British Ho

to assert that England will reap-the

may arise from the adoption Of the
ideas now advocated by the free trade
party in the United States
During the recent session OF the
English Labor Convention it was as
serted without contradiction that En-
gland has 200, 900 workmen out of EN-
ployment and numerous workshops
and mills closed OF working on short

could be secured in but one of two
ways; First, assisted emigration; sec.

The rates of wages paid for pud-

west Of the Allegheny Mountains, in
which fully three-fourths Of all the
iron puddled in the United States is
made, is s. so ton. This is the low
est rate paid, and in some instances the
price is 81 per ton higher than this.
The wages paid for similar work in
Great Britain, in South Staifordshire,
are g.. Cd, or, on the basis OF "a $40

paid in the North of England for pud-

of England eince June, 1869, has been

in the mills west of the Allegheny

been $3.50. That is, Pittsburg paid for
pudding as many dollars as its highest
price as England paid shillings.
The wages paid east of the Allie

with English iron, is lower than the

New York Tribune.
Free wool remains and is to remain the
characteristic Of the Mills tariff bill This
is an important gain for the cause Of pro
section. With that distinctive feature
omitted, the Democratic pretence that the
measure is not a step toward free trade
might have deceived a great many foolish
voters. But free wool means an actual
beginning Of absolute free trade. 1t means
the practical application OF extreme free
trade theories, which President Cleveland
avowed in his message. TO two OF the most
important industries OF this country. It
explains all other features Of the bill. and
fixes its character as a free trade
measure beyond dispute. Let 1t be re-
membered that even the Demoo attic

Democrats OF those days did not dare to
attempt change 50 revolutionary. On al
wool above 20 cents per pound in cost there
was imposed from 1876 to 1857 a duty Of
30 per cent, and from 1857 to 1851 a duty
