OUR WOOL INTERESTS.
A Republican Campaign Lie Exposed by q
Republican Paper.

Republican Campaign Lie Exposed by q
Republican Paper.
The failure of Thomas w. Hall &
Co., the well-known Chicago wool
dealers, is OF course ascribed to the
free wool agitation in Congress; but
this charge is hardly supported by the
statement of Mr.. Ball, attorney for the
unfortunate firm, to the effect that "the
house has been having hard time to
meet current obligations for three or
four years" AS the agitation for free
wool began with Cleveland's message
to Congress at the opening of the pres
ent session of Congress, it could hardly
be the cause of difficulties running back
three or four years. In fact, wool has
been falling in price for twenty years,
and the business of the wool dealers
was going from bad to worse long be-
fore the recent attempt to repeal the
imperative tariff duties which had
failed SO signally to improve or sustain
the prices of domestic wool. Owing to
the exclusion OF foreign wool needed
for mixing with American fleece in the
manufacture of fine goods many WOOL
en- mills had to shut down and others
worked only half time or less.
Woolen mills can be found all through
the manufacturing districts of the
East that have been idle for years. A
prominent mill owner said recently that
if any one would make public offer to
buy woolen mill at so per cent. of its
cost he would have more replies than
If he advertised for bull pup. Be-
tween 1870 and 1880, while the extreme
high wool tariff was in effect, 1875 es-
Establishments engaged in the manu-
facture of woolen and felt goods disap-
peared from the census returns, and
there was a decrease of over 2,400 sets
Of machinery. AS the manufacturers
were unable to get the foreign mixing
woods the demand for domestic fleece
fell Off. prices dropped and mills were
shut down or run on short time. As
foreign and domestic woods must be
used together in successful woolen man
ufacturing the exclusion of the one
necessarily lessened the demand for the
other and depressed the market. The
depression, which has extended to
every branch of the wool business, be-
gan long before the recent organized
attempt to get rid OF the difficulty and
secure free mixing woods for the manu-
facturers. - Chicago Tribune (Rep.).
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1888-08-11

L. Scott, himself manufacturer, esti-
mates that a duty OF 81 ton would be
amply sufficient to cover the differOce
in the cost Of labor and material in
American and English steel rails. II
will be seen, therefore, that the Mills
bill would have to be o much more rad
ical measure than 1t Is to take away
the power OF the manufacturer to pay
the existing rates of wages. The sim
pie truth is, and IL is doubtless fully
understood by many Of the most clam
orous opponents Of the bill, that wages
would not be affesed by Its enactment,
but that the pur, hAsing power OF wages
would be greatly increased In other
words, the working mon will got more
for their money. The Mills bill does
not reduce the duty on steel rails to ~,
but to $11, so that whatever part OF the
present duty goes to wages will remain.
The only result will be that the rail-
roads will have cheaper rails, and this
means in time. cheaper transportation
and consequently cheaper food. The
bill will not take SO much from the duty
on cotton cloth that the 81 Of labor in
q ten-dollar-and-a-h suit Of clothes
will not be covered If it should become
law the duty would still be more than
the whole cost OF labor, and the same
is true of the proposed change in the
woolen schedule. It is true OF the
whole project, that If the Mills bill
should become law and the bounties
granted by 1t should be paid to the
working-men, wages would be enor-
mously increased. At the same time
the working-man would pay no duty on
the lumber that enters into the con-
struction Of his dwelling, instead Of
from 8 to 80 per cent, which are the
rates under the present tariff. He
would save the duty and bounty he now
pays on fruits, baskets and the chemi-
calls that are used for domestic pur-
poses. He would save about 25 per
cent. on his earthenware and glass
ware, about 15 per cent. on his wooden
ware, 20 per cent. on his sugar, 20 per
cent. on his cottons, and about 40 per
cent. on his woolens.
These delusions which the protection
lists have succeeded in creating in the
minds Of the farmers and wage-earners
of the country are exploded by the
facts. Protection has not created q
home market. The Mills bill is not q
free-trade measure; on the contrary, it
provides for an average decrease Of
rates which does not begin to be so
great as the reductions which protec-
tionists themselves have admitted
might be wisely made. The cost Of
labor in this country is not greater in
some of the most highly protected in
dustries than in similar industries in
Europe. The bounties are not paid out
by the protected manufacturers in
wages to the working-men. Protective
duties go to the capitalists and make
profits enormous. Y. Times.

THE STEWART MILLIONS.
How the Widow of the Dry Goods King
Spent Her Last Years.

How the Widow of the Dry Goods King
Spent Her Last Years.
The moral about "the curse of riches"
has never been more forcibly painted
for the general public than in the pro-
ceedings to break the will of Mrs. A.
L. Stewart. When her husband died
the millionaire's wife, who had had but
little comfort and no happiness up to
that time, might have reasonably
looked forward to somewhat OF a royal
time during the rest of her four-score
years. But the poor old lady, desolate
and alone. found life as hard a burden
as ever Her husband left her an es-
tate of a dozen millions or more, yet
at the end of the first year she found
herself in debt, and her indebtedness
kept growing to the end of the chapter.
AS she grew poorer the Hiltons grew
richer, and yet never for moment did
they let her out OF their grasp or from
beneath their eyes. The testimony OF
the old book-keeper tells a story of
fact that Outdoes any romance. He
says that the day A. L. Stewart
died his confidential friend and
adviser, Judge Hilton, went to the Of
flee and examined his books, not wait
ing until the millionaire's flesh grew
cold. Then he took thirty per cent.
from the $40 900, 900 Or $12,000,000 Mt
which the dead mans share in the bust
ness was valued, and proceeded to sell
the latter to himself for $1,0C0,000 left
him us legacy. But this S1.000,000
was never paid to Mrs. Stewart; it was
lowed" to her, and meanwhile she was
brought in debt for nearly all the
money she wanted. The poor old lady
was helpless; she had none but the
Hilton family within reach; and SO she
drifted on through life, hampered for
money in the midst of wealth, and died
a genteel pauper. Many u writer used
to speak OF Mrs. Stewards great riches
of her picture-gallery, her jewels,
her bric-a-brac and her laces-and
women all over the land envied the
great milliOnaire's widow herindepend
ent position; and all the time the
woman who lived under guard in her
white marble palace ON Fifth avenue
might have been willing to exchange
places with the wife OF mechanic
who pushed her baby-carriage past her
windows, and who lived and did her
own work In hired tenement. Tho
hearing has not been u pleasant one
for Judge Hilton. 1t has brought out
what have limited heretofore in this
correspondence and have been certain
OF for live years. Stewart was cruel
man to his employees; an employe hax
signally avenged his cruelty,-M r

THE CAMPAIGN ORATOR.

A Peculiar Nuisance Composed Princt-
pally of Wind and Lies.
just now the stump speaker is grid
ing up his loins and preparing to make
it sultry for the opposition.
The lines of the stump speaker are
not always cast in pleasant places.
There are certain localities where the
opposing party will interrupt him.
Still the orator has a better time of it
in this country than he has in France,
where some eggs have been found that
were six hundred years old. However,
Connecticut is good State in which to
make stump speeches. The people are
no careful there that they never throw
any thing away.
Itrequires great ability to be q sue.
cessful speaker. Very many orators
are like a balloon. They start out very
we'll, but they come down fiat as soon
as the gas escapes. There are other
would-be orators who seem to have a
sleeping-car attachment to their trains
OF thought.
The great trouble with most of the
speakers is that they do not stop until
they are tired. They should not pro-
ceed to such extreme lengths. They
should stop as soon as the audience is
tired. 1t has happened more than once
that the man who undertakes to de-
liver a breezy discourse is simply
windy.
The committees OF both parties are
besieged with silver-tongued orators
who are willing to stump the country
for nominal consideration. II the
aromatic and expressive testimonials
are confined to these mercenary patri-
OTIS they will not go much out Of the
way. Although the word ovation
seems to be derived from the Latin
word 0lu. We hardly suppose the ora
tor who is pelted with eggs is pleased
with the form that the ovation takes.
Very few OF the political speeches
are impromptu, and those that are
made off-hand are not satisfactory even
to the speaker. The most successful
way to make an absolutely impromptu
speech IL to get somebody else to do it
for you. Some impromptu speakers
carefully prepare their speeches, and
we have known of several who even
got somebody else to do 1t for them.
But In all seriousness, effective stump
speaking is thing OF the past. Ora
tory is the clustering, spoilt child of a
semi-barbarous age. The press is the
foe to Illogical gush but the friend OF
reason, and the art OF defamation has
been sinking In value from the mo-
ment speakers were foolish enough to
publish, and readers wise enough to
read. 1s1as SJsings. i.t 'is
