 party is for that protection whicl
 gives the people cheap clothes, cheal

The Wool Bugaboo.

What foolish, stupid statement is
this. which we find OH the editorial
page of the Tribune:
1.-The Mills bill, when passed. would
shut up thousands Of WOODEN mills.
ana the time to stop mischief is not
!, when the works have been ruined
and the workers have been left desti-
tute, bnt right now"
The fact is that the wooden good~
manufacturers of this country are in
favor of the Mills bill. How would
the removal Of the tax OH wool affect
them? What they want is free wool
and Il tariff on manufactured goods.
They are compelled now to import
certain grades of wool which cannot
be produced in this country Would
it not relieve them to have the tax
taken off? The only persons to be
affected by the passage Of the free
wool feature of the Mills bill are the
gentlemen who are engaged in that
infant industry established by Adam
in the year 1-of watching sheep eat
the grass provided by nature. Not a
wooden mill in this country will close
when the Mills bill passes. We only
raise in this entire country 265. 900. 900
pounds of wool according 10 Mr..
Mills. and we consume in Inanufacf-
IRE about GOO. 900. 900 pounds. On the
manufactured article we have from
Us to els per cent. duty.
How long will it take Il laboring
man to see through the nonsense
preached by the wool tariff advo-
cates.--N. Y. World.

Judge Brewer, in the injunction
cases against the railroad commiss
toner's. intimates that rates which
will not give the roads a fair profit
would not be legitimate. and would
therefore be declared unjust and ille-
gal by the Court
There is shadow of reason and
sound logic in the intimation that
the investment should pay for the
services rendered and in addition
thereto yield profit upon the CAPT
tai invested
But is the argument any stronger
based upon correct prin-
ciples when urged in
behalf of the railroads than in behalf
Of every other industry and enter
prise: The varied agricultural. man.
ufactuling and commercial industries
Of the country representing more
than million times the capital in
vested by the railroad magnates Of
the country. are as much entitled to
compensation for services and rea-
sonable profit for their investment as
are the rail roads. Tens of thous
ands OF farms all over the country,
prudently managed. we'll titled and
favorably located have been run ut
an absolute loss. Men who COM
menced years ago with farms unen-
numbered, have toiled necessarily
since, themselves and families, bare
lv having the plainest necessaries of
life, find themselves. when nearing
the end Of a life OF toll and privation,
with homes encountered with heavy
mortgage liens.
Bad investments. whether in rail
roads or other enterprises. the pub
lie should not be taxed to make prof.
liable. A public house built out of
the way for the travelling public is an
Improbable investment, but if the
false. illogical and unlawful doctrine
OF Judge Brewer is correct, the pub
lie should suffer for the mans folly.
instead of him who had made the
bad investment.
The people of low. are not averse
to a fair return to the railroads for
the services they render, but they
are not willing to live like cattle that
the railroads may make dividends of
millions among their managers.
