the world. Australia, with its vast
area of unoccupied land. is the first.
South America ranks third, where land
and labor rank the lowest in value.
Russia is the fourth, with its boundless
wastes and semi-slave population. The
total production of the world, SO far as
it comes within the field of statistics.
amounts to about go, 900, ,000, 900 of pounds
of which this country furnishes one
sixth part. This important proportion
must be considered in estimating the ef-
feet of Legislation tending 10 discourage
our sheep husbandry. A serious reduc-
ton of the American clip, coincident
with the constant increase in the worlds
consumption of wool, could not fail to
be quickly followed by an advance in
the price of foreign woods, with higher
profits for foreign wool-growers and in
creased cost Of wooden goods"
But that is not all, nor the worst.
The destruction of the wool industry
would seriously affect the wages of hun
drcds of thousands of workingmen, and
cheaper clothing is not n compensation
for n disaster like that. This broad prin-
ciple may be laid down-that cheapness
which entails reduction of the buying
capacity of the people is a disaster rather
than boon. The object of legislation
should not he to secure loW prices for
the products of the nation. but fair
prices, and with that good wages. This
protection will do for this country, and
no other policy will.-Omaha Republi-

WHEAT AND THE TARIFF.
The Great Issue Discussed from the Farm
crs' Point of View.

The most singular feature of the tariff
discussion is the assumption on the part
of free-traders that the farmers are. and
ought to be, in favor of free trade. When
Golden started his free-trade crusade i'm
England his first assault was on the
English corn laws, with the avowed OBJ
ject of bettering the condition of the
workingmen employed i'll English man
ufactories by furnishing them with
cheaper food. After the repeal of the
corn laws he extended his propaganda
to this country, trying to persuade Amer
leans that instead of building up manu-
factories of their own they had better
buy what they needed from the we'll
established factories of England and de-
vote all their capital and energy to rais-
ing food and exporting it, This, too.
was with the object of getting cheap
food for English workingmen in fac
.ories and wider market for English
manufacturers, SO that their working
men could live better and get better
wages. Cheaper food for English work

inCmen meaIt then and means now
lower prices for American farmers. The
breaking down of American manufac-
lures and the turning of their employees
to labor in the fields means much
larger surplus for American farmers to
sell abroad and consequently lowe
prices for what they have to sell. Mr..
Golden concerned himself about Eng
lish factory hands and English manu-
facturers exclusively. He cared moth
ing for American factory hands or man.
ufacturers, or for American farmers and
farm laborers. He was looking out for
the interest Of Englishmen exclusively,
and for those of particular class of
Englishmen, the workmen in factories
especially. His sympathies did not even
embrace the English farm laborers, the
most hopeless and wrctched of their
,lass almost in the world. His effort
was simply to induce Americans of all
classes by the most plausible argument
he could command to subordinate their
interests to the interests of n particular
class of English workingmen. He was
not even the originator of that idea of
working the American farmer, for be-
fore him the cotton planters of our South
Atlantic states began an assault on
American manufactures on the theory
that if the food-producing states should
apply all their labor to raising food, in
stead of diverting a large part of it TO
manufactures, they could buy food for
their slaves SO much cheaper that they
could control the European market for
cotton. These cotton planters were bfr.
Cobdcn's faithful allies, and formed the
basis of party in this country to sup
port and disseminate his doctrines, and
from them sprung the free-trade ele-
ment in our present parties. The fun
damcntal idea OF the free traders was to
get food cheap for English factory hands
and the slaves OF cotton plantations,
and cheap food means low prices for
farmers.
Our farmers ought to know by this
time that England would not buy n
bushel of their surplus grain if her own
colonies could supply her, and that she
will prefer and does prefer Canadian
and Australian and Indian wheat to
theirs, aud would take it exclusively il
she could get enough of it.
Foreign markets and distant markets
are uncertain and least profitable. Wash
ington. Adams. jefferson, Madison.
Monroe and jackson all dwelt on the
Importance of home market for the
surplus products of the farm, ana of the
| advantage 20 the farmer 3f diverting
part OF the labor of the country from
agriculture to manufacture, in order tC
build zap home market. Those farmer,
make most money who live near large
cities. The nearer he factory is 10 the

DEMOCRATIC sHIPBuILDERs REPUDIATE
CLEVELAND.

The city of Bath, at the mouth of the
kennsbec river, is one Of the most tn rn
ty cities in Maine. Her chief industry
has been shipbuil6ing, and she has been
famed as the leading city ia the country
in the construction of wooden vessels.
The place is the home of numerous
,lass of intelligent and prosperous ship
wrights, mechanics and workmen. It
also the home of Hon. Arthur SewaH
member for Maine OF National Democrat
ic Committee. and chairman, of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Democrats
State Committee.
Last week seven prominent gentlemen
OF Bath, of the highest character and
standing in that city, and who have al
ways acted with the Democratic party,
issued an address to the mechanics of
Bath, in which they denounce the course
of the Democrats in handling the tariff,
and they will not support Mr.. Cleveland
The address is a terrific blow to the free
trade Democrats of Maine and elsewh ere
and will be received by them with feel
ngs of dismay.

TIE BLOW AT WOOL.
Vicious Democratic War Against II Great
and Thriving Industry.

The American wool clip amounts to
about 300,000,000 pounds per annum,
and its value from S15, 600, 900 to 800, 000,
900 per annum. 1t stands sixth in value
on the list of American agricultural pro-
ducts, and is surpassed only by corn,
wheat, oats, cotton, and hay. Sheep
husbandry is engaged in all over the
country and all sections are directly in

VESTIBULE TRAINS TO
CHICAGO.

The Vestibule train is new fac-
tor in western railroad transporta-
ton. 1t is claimed for these trains
that on account of their being con-
nected by steel hoods all danger Of
telescopmg- in case Of accident is
removed, the train being practically
one long car. 1t is certain that the
oscillation of the cars is greatly re-
duced, and it is also certain that
the vestibule trains afford the great
est comfort yet known to travellers.
The adoption of this style Of train
by the Chicago, Santa Fe 4 Cali
fornia Railway between Kansas
City and Chicago is a strong bid for
the passenger traffic between the
West and Chicago. This new road
is i'll many particulars ahead Of any
Of its older competitors, and will
undoubtedly be the popular road to
Chicago.
