The Wool Thrift.

France has protective" tariff and so
has Germany, but neither of them levies
q cent Of tax ON importations of foreign
wool. They know from experience that
both the wool raiser and the wool manu-.
facturer are benefited by admitting the
raw material free. In each of these coun-
tries sheep raising is lucrative industry,
o factthat is complete answer to the ar
gument that to put wool on the free list
would be to lower'the price of American
wool. Over production prevents our
wool growers from obtaining the rates at
which they formerly sold, and the tariff
forbids resort to The natural remedy for
over production, the foreign market

Natural and Artificial DISTINCTIONS.

Whenever you diminish the abundance
of things which minister to our necessi-
ties, it is like interposing desert,
swamp an unbridged stream or bad
road between producer and consumer. No
road at all; it is prohibitory duty.
Twenty per cent. duty is like bad road;
so per cent. is Il corduroy road [laughter];
40 per cent. like broad, deep and rapid
unbridged river, and so per cent. like q
swamp tlanking the river on both sides,
while 100 per cent, such as levied upon
steel rails, blankets and window glass, is
band of brigands who strip the mer-
chant of nearly all he possesses. He
should be grateful to God that he escapes
with his life. K congressman S. S. Cox.

Iron Workers. Wages Reduced.

In presidential year it is always posi-
BILE to tell the men employed in protected
industries that their wages would be
higher If somebody on the other side were
not suspected of a design to ruin Ameri-
can industries. In Pennsylvania the
workingmen have always shown most
obliging disposition to believe this tale.
A canvass that begins with a reduction
of wages in the most highly protected in
dustry while the sacred and admirable
tariff is in full operation subjects the
Pennsylvania workingman to test of
faith more searching than has heretofore
been imposed upon him; and 1t will be
interesting to SEQ how he takes it.-New
