Hides and Wool.

Democratic speakers cite the freeing Of
hides from an import duty to Justify the
putting of wool on the free list. The
conditions are not analogous. Hides
must 20 where the bark is, in order to
establish leather manufactures. We
have the hcmlock forests and the bark,
most other countries have not. The
leather must be manufactured in New
York, Maine and Canada because the
bark is there and it is too bulky to be
transported long distances.
1t is much cheaper to ship the hides
to the hemlock forests and then back
again. The hides produced in the United
States are but a small fraction of The
number needed for our immense tanner
les and the removal OF the duty under
TIE circumstances was wise econ ON {
measure in the interest of protection
enacted by Republican congress, Il
the Democratic idea Of a revenue TART
had prevailed at that time the duty would
have been retained on hides as it woult
have produced a revenue.
With wool the conditions are entirely
different. We can produce a much larger
part of the amount needed for our factor
les, and it can be transported easily from
any part of the world. The reduction OF
duty in 1888 had very depressing ciiec
upon the business, and the uncertaint,
brought about by the forcing of th'
Mills bill upon an unwilling Congress by
President Cleveland has increased tn,
depression and demoralizcd the Woo
market This shows beyond reasonable
i question that removing the duty entirely
would cause further depression, bringing
/ it below the line of living profit AM
cause the humiliation of the hocks o

Questionable Methods.

Gen. Fiske, the Prohibition candidate

Episcopal church an ally in his presiden
tal campaign by sharp practices that may
prove boomerang" when IL is thor
oughly understood. Through skillfu
manoeVvrng he got very strong Pro
hibition manifesto through the Genera
Conference without much opposition and
then resolution authorizing the tract
society of the church to print the whole
of the temperance report in tract form
for circulation. 900 900 copies are being
printed on order of the Prohibition cam
paign committee for which they pay the
tract society nominal price. Were a
scheme of this kind worked by other

great moral principle, it would be called

| Gen Samuel F. Cary of Ohio, is a rat

else is overlooked in him. lie evidently

there are not farmers in Somerset

nckels a day by spending one and put
ting the other in their pocket lie evil
IDENTIFY knows very little about Somerset
County farmers. They are thrifty, pros
porous men, who read and think for
themselves, and Gen. Cary's sophistries
cannot lead them to believe that the
Mills bill that puts nearly all their prod
ucts on the free list and leaves high
duty on the products of more favored
States is n benitcent measure and one
over which they should rejoice. Neither
will he make them believe that they are a
poor down trodden, oppressed class of
people.
Ku Kluxing methods are being revived
in Florida. The most marked case of
which is that of the driving of Senator J.

is strong Republican county with fair
vote and honest count. There are not
very many instances of this kind in the
south for the very reason that the Dem
ocracy has not been resisted very much
there. So long as they have their own
way there will be no trouble, but the mo-
ment opposition begins to be developed
they will resort to kukux methods or any
other to retain supremacy. Suffrage in
thesestates is a broad farce.

The foregoing shows 60 per cent profits
on the English investment and per cent.
on the American.
Free traders will say this is not a fair
representation of the case, as the cost of
the American plant has been largely in
creased on account of the tariff. adj
nit that it has been increased by protec-
ton, but the increase is chiefly caused by
higher wages having been paid in con
struction of buildings, machinery, etc,
and the other items which enter into the
additional cost, are offset by other things
which come against us, such as fuel, eli
mate, etc
If you want our industries to prosper
protect them well. If you want them
destroyed, the foregoing will point n
speedy and effectnal plan. Before the
present tariff, the ordinary hours for la
Dor in our mills was Is per day, and the
rate of wages per hour has just about
doubled while nearly all the necessaries
are to he had for less money. In the face
of such odds, why not stick to Protection
and prosperity. Il. A.

Excited Wheat Brokers.

NEW York, Sept. 20 Probably
never before in the history of the produce
exchange has such a scene OF wild excite
ment been witnessed in the n~eighborhood
of that building as took place there after
the market closed to-day. During the
day the one subject of conversation was
1.-THE Hutchinson Chicago wheat corner"
The New York market, however, was
scarcely affected by the Western squeeze
and closed in conformity with Saturdays
halt holiday law at noon at 10 to Is points
higher than Fridays close. Even this
advance was attributed to higher cables
from Havre and Hamburg rather than to
the odd Hutch" operations.
Then the gong sounded for the close of
the change. About 200 wheat brokers
were congregated around the pit selling
and buying wheat. Many transactions
were interrupted by the gong. A large
number of brokers we're reported to be
short ~ December option, and rather
than be caught determined to risk an
Infringement of the exchange rules. No
attention was paid to the signal and the
bidding went on uninterrupted. The ex,
element was increased by a telegram
from Chicago stating that odd Hutch"
had threatened to send the December
option up to 81. so.
