The Quage OF Battle.

The Ratchet which Mills and his a4so-
ciate Free Traders on the Ways and Means
Committee have kept for some time hang
ing menacing in the air, has fallen on the
heads Of a large number of American pro-
ducers and manufacturers. The movement
inaugurated by Cleveland endorsed by a
large majority of the Democratic news
papers, and followed up by Carlisle,
Mills, Breckenridge and other advocates
of foreign interests, was professedly for
the removal Of the war taxes and the re-
ducton Of the revenues. If this profess
sion had been sincere, it would have been
adhered TO in good faith, and bill
promptly reported which would have
mostly removed the war taxes and reduced
the revenues to the required amount
without disturbing the business
interests of the country,
nor lessening the rewards of labor. The
internal revenue machinery and the taxes
it collects, did not exist before the war,
were authorized specially ~ war measures
to aid in crushing Democratic rebellion.
All these taxes except those on liquors not
used in the arts and for manufactures,
could be abolished, and most of the duties
taken from sugar, and the clear result
would be no more accumulation of revenue
surplus. This path of revenue reform is
simple plain and practical. But this does
not agree with the theories of the Free

of the foreign importing houses of
New York city which are to
contribute largely to the Cleveland re-
election fund, nor would it allow the
enforcement of the plan of the Democratic
leaders to keep the South solid on the old
Bourbon doctrines of Calhoun and his
school of partisan-. Therefore the mar
iority of the WAYS and Means Committee

urers, lumbcrmen. mechanics. millions
who live by their labor, must suffer for
eign competition and loss, that the tleve-
land programme may he carried out and
his reelection be secured. These Free
Trade magnatcs will have a lively time be
fore they arrive at their goal. In the
meanwhile, the Republicans have been
and are ready for prompt and effective ac-
ton. They are ready To reform the tariff
on lines which shall not disturb the bust
ness and the laboring interests of the
country. They are ready and eager to
abolish much of the war taxes and the
sugar duties n will reduce the revenues
more than Is promised by the Cleveland
aud Mills bill. and If they are defeated in
the House by Representatives, they will
be ready to try the issue before the Ameri-
can people. There is a fair opportunity to
test the principles and sincerity of the
great political parties in manly and open
debate before the great jury of the Ma
ton.

| In Boston little more is being done
in the way Of taking orders for light
weight woolens by manufacturers, but
there is no eagerness displayed by goods
buyers as yet. Manufacturers are still
inclined to be exceedingly conservative
in their purchases of raw material. At
the same time they feel encouraged from
the very fnct that there is even a small
movement in their product and buy more
with view to their future wants than
they have heretofore done.
Fenno Bros. & Child say in their report
of July %: "We have had good steady
trade the past week, business having
been quite general among the houses and
confined to no particular class of wool.
If anything, medium woods have sold the
best, and supplies of this description at
the close are exceedingly light Some
classes, such as No. combing woods, the
manufacturers have found it impossible
to supply their wants with, and dealers
are not inclined to contract much ahead
of them. Notwithstanding this fact,
prices do not alter materially on this class
of wool, as Australian cr.ss breeds can
be imported to take their place if they
are advanced much" @
