Sena'or Quay Chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee, fur
nishes for publication a long letter
from Charles S. Litchnlan, Of Phila.
delphia. Secretary of the knights of
Labor, IN which he says that what
ever votes may lie cast for separate
political parties, the fact remains that
ths candidate uf either the Republican
or Democrliic party will be elected
President; therefore to him who has
the welfare Of this country and her
people at heart, the necessity exists
to choose to which of those two party
organizations shall be given aid, either
directly or indirectly, by voice or note.
"Wbile. says he, ''inaybe that neither
party ot.ers all that the labor organi-
cations desire. believe that the Re-
publican party, in adopting and advo-
eating the American System Of Ell.
couragemeut aud protection 10 labor
aud wages # our band. is n carer the
declarations and desires of orgauIzed
lab + than its free trade opponent, the
Democratic party.
"ilie theory of protection advocated
by the Republican party is the same
as he underlying principles upon
which labor organiza;ioiis are fonnded.
A. friend to OF oigan;zcd labor WIN be-
lieves IN ganizstipn as IA means to on
haico and maintain wages cannot CON
sistontly oppose party that supplies
To XII labor some principle of prolcc-
tiorr from unfair competition. / do
not hesitate to say that the triumph of
the Democratic party, dominated by
intolerance IN the South and the Brit
Ish free trade sentiment in the North,
would he the most serious blow to or
ganIzrd labor it. could possibly receive.

contiict, therefore, to You and your
associates IN the National Republican
Com,nittee, as representatives Of the
Republican, party, | offer my services

FREE wool.

A correspondent of the Reno Ga

of the effect of the tariff on wool:

Cleveland, Mr. Rg-r Q Mills, Henry

Traders. all ii lily remember the
effects OF low tariff. know what brDugh,
on the panic of 80 aud how disastrous
il was. There must be something IN.
herently wrong about these men. nr
something uuar, elious y fascinating to
them in Free Trade that they should
want to bling upon our people ano,her
anic from the sams cause.
The principal crs Of Tie Free Trad
ers ia these days is for fres wool.
Let us refresh their nenl,r es by go-
ing back over the past aud see how
free wool" wren the country en-
joyed low tarff, tended Ia b, eak down
the WOODEN industry, Increase prices,
lower wages aad bring financial
trouble on the country.
From 1928 to 1916 there was pro-
tective duty both on co aiming and
clothing woods and on wo Ion goods
In the earlier part of this period, al
though both sheep and wooden manu-
facturers increased. the figures we
have are no, sufficient to enable us Il,
give perfectly reliable statistical refer
ences. From 1886 to 1916, however,
the consumption OF wool by our own
factories rose from 4J,020.578 pounds
71.l76 300 pounds. In 1916 the
duy ON wool was reduced, aud M
1857 it was made 81 low that 70, four
years we had practically free wool.
From 13a9 to 1859 the consumption Of
WOOL by our mills fell to 05,749, ,635
pounds. There is no better gauge /, (
y manufacture tn the amount uf raw
material worked up, and here wo see
that in ten years, during ,hish our
population grew from 23. l9l .8s6 to
81. .443, 1921, the consumption of our
wooden factories fell off eight per cent.
The former, from producing Sc, 1902, Ia
pounds in 1889, advanced to 52,51G,
800 in 1848, but the next decade, with
the competition of free wool, his pro.
duction advanced only to G0,254 ,913
in 1859. la 1867 duty was placed
ON wool, and in 1886, the farmers
share IN this trade had risen from
production of l6S, 100000 pounds to
2S5, GOO, COO pounds, aud the consump-
tion of the American manufacturer
from 100, lol, $40 pounds to 800, ,05l,
798 pounds. In 1929 we imuortet.
$40, ,782, ,094 Of foreign manufactures,
OF, since th'- was year Of large i'm
ports, take 1893, with imports OF Sl2,-
1904; in 1916, the last of high
duties, our purchases of foreign wooden
goods had risen to $l2, ,S32 ,641, which
was why the home mill had lost its
appetite for raw wool; aud then from
'mp'rts OF $i6, 1888, S3l in 1867, when
The Central Nevadan. [volume] (Battle Mountain, Nev.) 1885-1907, 1888-09-13

duties were ra,sed, our imports have
fallen to $44, ,902.718.
Can any man doubt that free wool
will bring, as it has before, FIRST, less
wool grown at home, secondly, lvss
wool manufactured, thirdly, more
wooden goods imported, and fourthly,
as an inevitable sequence, less work
aud less wages to our workmen, and
higher pricesl For when the foreign
goods colne in and QUE competition is
beaten down then the foreign dealer
will put up his prices as he pleases.
Compare the prices Of woqlen clothes
to-day under high tariff with those OF
1856 under low tariff.

New York, Sept. 7th.-Speaking at the
Cutters banquet at Sheffield, the Duke Of
Rutland, referring to President Cleyeland's
retaliation message, said that England and
Canada united in a just cause could stand
more buster than that which had just been
addressed to them.
Sir Charles Upper, speaking on the
same subject, declared that it was impos.
sibIe to find a negOtiator more acceptable
than Mr.. Chamberlain. With regard to
the extraordinary message of the Presi-
dent, Canada, he said, would never adopt
a policy hurttul to England.
Lord Charles BerestOrd, in the course of
a speech referring to the Navy, said that
the recent maneuvres had proved that the
Fleet was insufficient. There was no re-
serve in the Channel, and it was proved
that the blockade and coaling arrange
ments were inadequate. He also declared
that the training of the officers and men was
unsuited to modern requirements, and fur
Their that there was no settled plan of ac-
ton in the event of war.
A despatch from Zanzibar declares that
the pursuit of the slave trade is carried on
under the protection Of the French flag.

Gentlemen,

SOON after the death of the poet Words worth man met farmer of the neighbor- hood and said to hIm: You have had great loss" "What loss?"

 A MAN in England had climbed to the top of an immense chimney to remove a scaf.. folding, when the rope by which he was to descend became loosened and fell to the ground. He travelled out his stockings and letting down the thread, finally drew up a rope strong enough to bring him safely down. One of the crowd who had watched his peril, as soon as he reached terra firma rushed to his home and told his wife, "Great Welhngton!H was the woman's eX- clamation; " them stoNl1in's gone an only finished knittin' of 'em Saturday week."
 ONCE, when the Turks had began to scale the wall of a fortified church in Pennsylvania a girls wit saved the people from capture and death. Behind the church was little garden, and in it dozen bee-hives which it was the girls duty to care for. Seizing hive, she ran up on the fortress wall. and hurled it down among the enemy. Again and again she repeated the process until ten or more swarms of mad dened bees were stinging the Turks. They were blinded and dismayed, and, unable to cope with the insect foe, beat hasty re- treat. They had been discounted by girls device.
 A COUNTRY wedding, usually serious oc- casion, may have humorous incidents, as one event showed. During the ceremony It was noticed that the bride took no part in the responses. The groom answered the usual questions with heartiness and good will, but not a word passed the lips of the blush ing bride. Some of the guests thought timidity or modesty might be the cause of the silence; one, more curious or moro bold than the rest, asked the bride why she did not respond "Oh, I wasn't going to commit myself" was the rather surprising reason given by the prudent damsel.
 OLD Peter Faucett, the New South Wales Supreme Court Judge who lately retired, was, according to the NelU Zealand Times, somewhat short-sighted, and one day very diminutive barrister appeared before him to move something or other.

The Northern Pac tic's Agreement.

WINNIPEG, Man, Aug. 3.--The terms of the agreement between the Northern Pa cific Railroad Company and the Manitoba government is made public The Northern Pacific agrees to build this year the eXten- tion to Port Arthur, and next year to con- tfuue the line to Brandon. No arrange uents are made as to branch line exten- sions. The agreement provides for the maintenance of maximum rates from the province to Duluth on wheat and certain other classes of freight. This rate is con- siderably lower than tho Canadian Paciho's rate from Winnipeg to Port Arthur. The agreement also distinctly stlpulates that the Northern Pacific shall not enter into any pooling arrangements with the Cana dian Pacific.

HOME TALK.

SETTER good, honest farmer than speculator; better for our girls to Nust the. hand of a man toil-worn and practical in the needs of everyday life, than one who is looking out for an easy method of gaining @ livelihood
 CONFINEMENT is a lesson that should be early taught, and associates should be watched, and young people guarded from contact with those who are spendthrift or careless. Make companions of the boys and girls as they grow xp; let them know your income so far as to see the justice of any deprivation.
 THERE is no brighter" happier life in this world than that of young couple out of debt in new home, when they can show their own tastes in making an Eden for themselves, and as years roll by and they have to remember when and where each improvement was made, it is a source of great and constant pleasure.
 IF children are brought up with simple tastes in childhood, they need not become so very expensive as they grow up. But the majority of children nowadays get so much while they are small, and become ac- customed to such luxury that there is real ly nothing left for them as they grow older, and they are likely to develop an extravar gant, discentented spirit
