The Democratic Raid on the Wool
RaiseIs.

For the first time in a period of seventy
years the Democratic party, 10y its en-
dor,cment of the Mills bill, favored put
ting wool of all kinds on the free list.
It, Bourbon leaders have finally forced
the party into this hostility to the wool
and sheep farmers of the country, while
they vote for the retention of 4 high rate
of duty on rice and sugar produced IN the
south. The history of sheep farming and
wool growing in this country concluSively
proves that the raising of wool has much
increased under the protective tariff of
lS2S, and that the tariff tinkering caused
by the Calhoun Democracy in 1872 did
serious mischief to this important indus
trial interest. causing production to fluc-
tuatc, 81 that from 1881 to 1861 the
increase had been less than 23,000, 900
pounds.
But under the Morrill, tariff. which went
into effect not long after the beginning of
the war. was maintained a strong protec-
tion of the wool interest until 1883. The
production of wool increased from 1861 to
1870 to the total of 100000, 900 pounds
per annum in the last named year. and
again doubled in the ten years following.
reaching 2i0, 000, 900 pounds in 1880. The
increase continued until the total per an
mum amounted to 32j 900, 900 The reduc-
ton Of the wool tariff in 1854 put stop to
the increase of the annual production of
the American wool and reduced the output.
But these suggestive facts were not
enough TO stay the hand. of the Bourbon
agitators. Following the lead of Cleveland
in his Free Trade message they have struck
at the wool farmers rs though they were a
peStitcrouS set of men of whom the
country might we'll be rid. while they
have sought to pave the way for a large i'll
crease of foreign wool from South America
and Australia. 1t remains to he seen
what the wool farm lrs of the nited States
will have to say about this kind of action
by the Free Trade agtators. The sheep
rai>erS of Oregon expressed their opinions
the other day at the ballot-box, and the
rest of the country will have on opportunity
to give utterance to theirs in the near
November.

Congressman Whiting of Massachusetts,
in his speech in the National House of Rep
resentatfees few days since, showed that
while in 1860 the ordinary grades of writing
paper sold in this country at from lG to 20
cents pound, now the same grades of paper
sell at from IL to IL cents. In IS years
the price of paper has fallen nearly 30 per
cent. Meanwhile the pay of the working
man has. constantly advanced. In 1860
skilled workmen received in the paper in
dustry Sl.jO to SI.7j day, now they get
50. - to $500 day,-an increase of more
than sixty per cent. The same class of help
in England receives from SIPS to 81 - a
day, not more than one-half the wages paid
here. SO conclusive is the proof here that
the tariff has worked no detriment to the
consumer that one would suppose that the
Democrats would have hesitated to disturb
it in this instance. But Mills without max
ing any answer shouted vote and the sub
servient Democracy voted to reduce the
duty. The Bourbons, who constitute the
controlling portion of the Democrats of the
House fully understand that most of the
paper mills are in the North, are owned by
Northern capitalists aud run by Northern
workmen.

How Ii Was Done,

There was small but enthusiastic
meeting last night at $50 Acequia
street to elect delegates to the non
partisan convention. These would
have been elected on Saturday, but
the organizers couldn't get round
there and no one attended the meet
ing place. Last night Workingman
O'Leary was there, so was Agitator
Kunzman and Chairman Mari; Doyle
was there, and as he was the only
resident in the precinct, he was made
chairman. 1t was necessary to have
resident secretary, aid therefore
O'Leary went out and hunted for one.
After some time he returned with a
boy named Hennesey, who acted as
secretary, and the delegates were
elected. Mr. 7. H. Banks was also
present during the latter part of the
meeting and denounced the whole
thing as fraud upon the people.

proved that he had the mayors per-
mission to speak. He ought, however,
to have also arranged matters with
the marshal, but not knowing this to
be necessary, he had failed to do so.
