what Free Wool Means.

The exemption of wool from duties means
the cutting of of nearly $500 COO of needless
revenue which now goes to swell surplus
for the politicians to squander
Free wool, therefore, meets the first re-
quirement of tax reduction at the present
time; it reduces the surplus. rt..f
The other reasons for free wool were ad-
mirably condensed by the majority of the
Ways and Means Committee in their report
to the House: 1A' t'a.
We say to the manufacturer we have put
wool on the free list to enable him to obtain
foreign markets and successfully compete
with the foreign manufacturer. We say to
the lnborer in the factory we put wool on the
free list so that it may be imported and he
may be employed to make the goods that are
now made by foreign labor and imported
into the United States. We say to the con-
sumner we have put wool on the free list that
he may hive wooden goods cheaper, We say
to the domestic wool-grower we have put
wool on the free list to enable the manufac-
turer to import foreign wool to mix with his
own and thus enlarge his market and quicken
the demand for the consumption of his wool
while it lightens the burden of the taxpayer.
The duty on wool now prevents nearly all
the better classes of woods from coming into
Iuc couutfy, WHEN tile uOtnpStic prOuucG can
only supply about oue-half of the amount re-
qulred for home consumption.
The woolen manufacturers themselves
asked for free wool in the official statement
of their National Association to the Secretary
of the Treasury no longer ago than 1885.
They declared the obvious truth that "the
American manufacturer, to compete with the
fabrics of other nations in the endless variety
demanded By our times, must have the power
of selecting . portion { u. raw material
from all TIE wsr!d,s sources Of supply"
Free wool means cheaper and better cloth
ing, carpets and blankets for the people. It
means wider market for our manufactures,
and therefore more work for the operatives
and a greater demand for the domestic pro-
duct. The United States is now exporting
less than 100000 worth of wooden goods,
while England, with untaxed raw material,
exports more than S1000O0,000. Domestic
wool is cheap both because of and in spite of
the tariff. Free foreign wool for the necas-
sary admixture will increase the consumption
and therefore better tho price of home grown
wool. The delusion, of taxed wool has lasted
long enough. .. . ..'... ,.'.-a. 4,

The Lates. Fashionable Gait,

''Have you observed the new gait
adopted by fashionable ladies while out on

modiste of reporter recently.
Seeing look OF bewilderment on the
reporters face, she continued: "You
know that fashions change in walking

young men change their manner Of walk

short time ago il was the thing for fashion

Is she proper thing now. The correct walk

how, 1t was awfully popular last winter
on the avenue and has been all the 90 at
the watering places this summer 1t was
very graceful and pretty, but 1t has got

The new walk Is neither graceful nor

MS sleeve that he found the Office Just
that way when he came in. dis en-
ployer believes him and complains of the
janitor, and if the thing is persisted in he
perhaps makes It a personal grievance.
It's of little use for the janitor to deny
the charge Of negligence 1t he does he
is put down for a liar as well as drone,
and his departure is likely to be FASTENED"
But do not janitors hold pretty steadily
to their places:"
mo, the contrary is the fact" replied
the veteran janitor. Il have been here
nearly twenty-eight years, but can think
of but one other building, even among
those of recent construction, in which
there have not been several changes Of
janitors."
What is the reasons'
Gone reason is that the duties Of jan
itor are very difficult to attend to prop
erly, although a contrary impression is
prevalent. AS I have pointed out, he
must keep on good terms with the tenants
Of the building. and this requires tact as
well as industry, and even these VIII not
always accomplish it If there is mali
cious small boy around. Another reason
is that the duties Of the place are not
after the occupants have gone, and at Ger
tain seasons Of the year he finds the win
dows closed. He opens the windows and
begins sweeping. While the draught Of
cool air PLAYS upon him from without, his
lungs inhale the cloud Of dus. that rises
within the apartment. This cannot be
healthy, and pulmonary and other diseases
are the frequent result. "
hor 2 Joocf tho ca<icfsc<iay,
of living high up in the cool air In these
hot summer months"
'sThat is true; but there, again, the
janitor's lot is not as happy as it seems.
The air up there is cool, it is true, but it
is also laden with all the foulness and eff
fuviun that naturally rises from below;
and Oh damp, hot days it is extremely op-
pressive near the top For my own idea
of comfort give me the first floor. 1t is
certain that the families Of janitors arc
frequently visited by sickness and death,
and this does not speak well for the
healthfulness OF their quarters. But jan
itors have one advantage, and that is COM
parative secluslon for their families from
the associations Of the street. They are
enabled TO bring up their children in COM
parative privacy"
How are janttors paidi'
''fn the largest buildings By the owners,
at rates varying from 500 to $50 a
month; in the smaller buildings by the
tenants, at from Sc to 800 tenant In
the large buildings Offices are let with the
services of the janitor. OF course the
janitor's rent is free. Not only the clean
illness, but the preservation Of building
depends much upon having the right kind
1c = IL
well preserved marble flooring; ''but for
the care with which I have that washed
night after night it would present a very
different appearance, and soon be in
grained with dirt that could not be got
out After awhile owners will learn bet
ter than most of them know now how
much the value Of their property depends
on the janitor, and then janitors will be
more carefully selected, and hold their
places longer when selected. New York

SIusIl and MusI.

A letter from the editor of The indie
pendent, recently published in The Voice,
is remarkable in more ways than one. 1t
gives the Democratic party the regulation
scolding, glories in the past of the Repub-
lican party, after the familiar fashion, and
complains good deal of the action of the
Prohibitionists, although the conclusion
it arrives at is that DIR. Ward is nightly
inclined to vote the Prohibition ticket. If
he actually does it will be because he
thinks the Republican party has fallen
under the domination of the saloon, and
because its platform is, in Dr. Wards
opinion, compound of "slush and mush
that Harrison cannot stand upon without
falling through. New York Post Qnd.)
