Pm SITTING IN TIE CHAIR, GROVER

"a. sung with great success by Calvin S. Brice)
I'm sitting in the chair, Grover, where Pve sat
for ninety days. And the sound of dying footsteps
through the open door is borne IT'S the sound Of
fleeing Democrats-theyre going on the trot
To join with the enemy and leave us here to
mourn. But what can L do, Grover, what can
do for our cause? / know but little Of these
things, as you must well remember; Oh, send us
one more check, Grover, only another check,
Twill keep what little life have till the sixth
of next November!
Yes, they've got us on the run, Grover, they've
got us on the run, And all that can do is to sit
and sadly smile; talk to all that come to me
with child-like confidence, But things are getting
worse and worse-I know it all the while; There's
all the doubtful States-they aren't doubtful any
more Those that were doubtful once, Grover
now are solid for protection There's Newly York
and Indiana, they are going dead against us, And
New-Jersey and Connecticut-they only bring de-
lection
So I'm sitting here alone, Grover where I've
sat for days together And the scalding tears roll
downward fast as the summers rain; For every
move I've made, Grover, has been glazing error,
And there's little now for us but tears and gloom
and pain; And the only thing that's left US now
is dear old Arlxansaw, Where the grand old Demo-
cratic vote will surely not decrease; So / sit here
in the chair, Grover, and wish that all were like
Dear old Arkansaw where pistols always have six
votes apiecel

THE COST OF WOOLLENS.

President Cleveland puts without reserva-
ton his idea that duties enhance the cost of
every dutabe article and corresponding do
nestle product to their full extent. On that
ground he claims that the people would be
benefited by his policy. There are 1000, 900
farmers, who produce 800, 100000 pounds of
wool, an average of 8 pounds each according
to President Cleveland, they would lose just the
present duty, 0 cents per pound, in the price
of their wool, which would be 81 so each.
What would they gain?
Cheaper woollens, President Cleveland says.
The value of all woollens manufactured in
1880. according to the census, including cloths,
worsteds, carpets, wool hats, felt goods. hosiery
and knit goods, was $267 ,252, 3. There
were imported in that year, of all woollens,
goods valued at $31 1874 SAT, on which the
duty paid was SO 1 1854 ,153, making the entire
cost of all kinds of woollen goods, domestic
and imported, S32 0, 05l 81 3 for fifty millions
of people, or So AZ for every person. But
"woolens must cost much more to consumers"
True. in regions where they are constantly
WON, but for the whole country the cost and
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1888-09-22

quantities are shown by the census and the
official returns Of imports. But "these are
manufacturers and importers prices, and goods
cost more when made up and retailed."
True. and the makers or tailors would charge
Just as much for the work under diiferent
tariff as they do now, unless all wages should
be forced down, which the President affirms
will not be the result. Mr.. Cleveands mis-
representations as to the cost of woollen cloth
ing are met by the official records which prove
that woollen goods of all sorts, domestic and
imported, cost only Sc AZ for every person.
The farmer consumes no more than his share,
and like persons in other avocations the farm
ers have an average of two others depending
on them, for their hired hands must be scpa-
rately considered, and the sons of farmers who
soon find occupations for themselves. For
three persons the cost of woollen products and
imports would average $40 20; how much Of
this cost would the Mills bill enable the farmer
to save?
According to President Cleveland, woolens
would be reduced in cost just the rate Of duty
on similar imported goods. On SOL, 1884, 547
worth of imported woolens the duties pro-
posed in the Mills BILL A 5 per cent, would be
exactly 81, 538, 6O7 less than the duties actual
ly paid in 1880, difference Of IA per cent.
If all the woollens consumed, which average
for three persons 81 26 in cost, should be re-
duced IA per cent in cost, the gain would be
for the three persons just So 50, while the
farmer would lose 81 SO in the price of his
wool.
But the farmers son and hired man also
have to be clothed. True, and they pay for
their clothing out of what they earn on the
farm. Getting less money for his WOOL the
farmer would be forced to pay less wages to
any hired man or to his son. The two might
save their share of the cost of all woolens,
according to the Presidents theory about IA
per cent on SO AZ each, or about 80 cents
each person, but it would be strange if their
wages should not be cut down more than that.
The truth is that the Presidents theory is
not correct, and that woollen goods would not
be cheapened to the extent he supposes, II at
ALL The duty on blankets is now about 80
per cent The actual difference in cost be-
tween this and other most favored countries
was recently shown when bids were invited
for the supply of 1000 blankets to the army.
An American bid So So for four-pound blank
cts; the lowest foreign bid for the same blank
cts was 50 25; the difference without any duty
whatever was not quite ne-seventh of the for
eign cost, instead of 90 per cent. But the
blanket costs relatively more in this country
than most other kinds Of woolens. Nearly all
woollen goods are in fact as cheap, quality
considered in this as in other countries Hence
it is the fact that heavy loss which the farm
ers would have to sustain would not be made
good by any gains realized by them or by
other consumers.

. When we consider the patronage Of

"Wben we consider the patronage Of this great
Office, the allurements of power the temptation to
retain public place once gained, and. more than
all the availability party finds in an incumbent
whom a horde of officeholders. with zeal born
of benefits received and fostered by the hope Of
favors yet TO come stand ready TO aid with money
and trained political service. we recognize in the
eligibility of the President for reelection a most
serious danger 10 that calm deliberate and inteli-
GENT action which must characterize government by
the people" From President Clevelands letter Of
acceptance; Aug. 16. 1884.
MY friends. you will never have any genuine
reform in the Civil Service until you adopt the
one-term principle in reference to the Presidency.
So long as the incumbent can hope for second
term he will use the immense patronage OF the
Government to procure his denomination and secure
his reelection From a speech by the Hon. Al
