WOOL.

In the campaign of 1884. GEORGE w.
BOND, of Boston, an authority on wool
in the United States, addressed letter
to Mr.. GARLAND, president of the wool
growers association, which letter was
then, and is now, regarded as most
valuable contribution to tariff litera-
ture. Mr.. BONDS abilities and charac-
ter entitle him to wide consideration.
He is a Republican and a prOIectiOniSt;
but, Notwithstanding that, he declares
that our fine woods haye always been
higher in price, all other things being
equal. when we were able to freely i'm
port the v9Ols of other countries at a
low duty, or no duty at all.
The reason for this is that our manu-
tactWers can turn out WOODEN goods
only by using foreign woods, which this
country cannot produce. With a low
tariff, or none at all, they get that part
of their raw material which comes from
abroad so cheaply that they can under
sell the foreign manufacturer in this
market, instead of being undersold by
him. This enables them to increase
their output so greatly that they are en-
abIed to buy more heavily of the Amer
lean woods which are mixed with the
imported woods. This raises the price
of the domestic woods here at the same
time that the purchase abroad OF for
eign woods by our manufacturers raises
the prices of that raw material on their
competitors. In this way the operation
of low tariffs is to raise the price of
American woods and to enable the
American manufacturer to compete
with the foreigner much more success
fully than under high tariffs.

OUTRAGEOUS ROBBERY.

The New York Times publishes a
comparison of the difference in the
| prices in New York and London of
mems clothing, which every working
man and wage Garner in the United
States should read and ponder. The
injustice of the outrageous system
which makes this robbery of Ameri-
cans possible, the people can correct
at the polls. Here is the comparative
list:
For instance, broadcloth dress suit which
costs $50 in New York costs only S22 in
London.
A heavy business suit which costs $50 in
New York costs but SIS in London.
A spring serge overeoat which costs $50 in
New York costs but $3.50 in London.
A winter beaver overcoat which costs S35
in New York costs but S14.5o i'll London.
\ silk hat which costs So in New York
costs but So in London.
These articles altogether cost in New York
SI40. In London they cost but S61. The
man who buys these clothes, therefore, in
New York pays $40 more for them than he
could buy them for in London.
Suppose we analyze the remarkable
facts presented in the foregoing, and
inquire what causes this difference in
the prices of the two cities?
The answer is, our high protective
tariff. No one will dispute that, with the
tariff removed, the same goods could be
purchased as cheaply in New York or ST..
Paul as in London; that is, as cheaply,
with the freight added. The man,
therefore, vino pays S14G for clothes in
st. Paul really buys sol worth Of clothes,
on which he pays $40 taxes.
And where do these taxes go?
If the goods are manufactured in this
country not one cent reaches the treas
ury. 1t is simply SO taken by law from
the man who buys SOL worth of clothes,
and given to the man who grows wool
and the man who makes cloth.
If the goods are manufactured abroad,
s79 goes to treasury which does not
need it, and which can raise all the rev.
enue it requires on whisky, tobacco and
articles of luxury. In either case the
purchaser of the clothes gets absolutely
nothing for $40 of the $40 which he
spends.
If, on buying the clothes, he had
to pay SOL to the clothier and s79
direct to a tax collector, how long would
he stand such extortion? In result
there is not particle of difference be-
tween the direct tax in the one case and
the incidental tax which the tariff i'm
poses, and which not only thus unnec-
essariIy and exorbitantly taxes the
clothing of the people, but nearly every
other necessary of life.
How long will the people of country
which claims to be free submit to this
legalized robbery, which those who up
hold it. and profit by it, call protect
i've" tariff?

WHY THEY DAILY.

There is no occasion for congress to
remain in session any longer. Every
thing has been done that is going to be
done. The lower house has cleared up
its calendar and is patiently awaiting
the action of the senate on number of
important bills that have been sent to
that body, and upon which there is no
likelihood that the senate will take
action. The MILLS bill has been buried
in the senate committee on finance,
while the Republican senators are
scheming how to dodge the retaliation
bill. The only thing in the world that
is keeping congress in session
is the fear that Republican sena-
tors have as to the effect an adj
journment without action on these two
important measures would have on the
November election. They have made up
their minds not to pass either of them,
and yet they are at loss to know what
kind of an excuse to frame for not doing
so. 1t is babyish kind of work for a
dignifed body like the United States
senate to be engaged in, and yet it
seems to be a grounding case. There
is nothing else for the senate to do but
fritter away time, and every day de-
voted to this dilly-dallying method only

New YORK, Sept. 1.-THE resigna-
ton of Albert Meyer from the Twenty
third District Republican association
has caused great deal of feeling and
discussion in Republican circles in this
city. The blow came from quarter
where it was least expected. The Re
publicans all along have been Boosting
that the manufacturing interests in this
country were with them. They have
protested to believe, and probably did
believe, there would be no detection in
that locality. The letter, therefore, of
Mr.. Meyer, in which he resigns
on the ground that the tariff
revision is an absolute necessity,
has struck the Republicans in tender
spot. Mr.. Meyer is well known as a
protectionist. He is one of the found
ers of the silk plush and silk velvet in
dustry in this country, which had no
existence until he and a few others es-
tabllshed it a few years ago. Mr..
Meyer says the Republican refusal to
amend and readjuSt the tariff on bust
ness principles as expressed in the Chi
cag0 platform is even more dangerous
to the protection system than any advo-
eacy of free trade could possibly be. He
therefore, as pretectiOniSt,d deems it his
duty to vote Tor revision in order that
the tariff may be eQualized and made
more protective to labor, as was pro-
posed by the Republican tariff commits
sion in 1882. Politically Mr.. Meyer is
man OF consequence, being not only
member of the Twenty-third District
association, but was also delegate from
the district to the county committee.
He is one of the most popular of New
York Germans, holding high positions
in the Liederkranz, Arion and other
German societies. From statements
made tonight it is possible that within
the next few days quite a number of
other Republicans will follow Mr..
Meyers example and i'll few days re-
sign from the Twenty-third District
Republican association. j. 2. B.

the "Old Roman Guard" a local cam

The occasion was the presentation to

was in excellent health and spoke
in vigorous manner. He began by
extending thanks to the Old Roman

that there never was a soldier in battle

mother, sister, or, perchance, his sweet
heart were upon him. and in presenting
this banner to the Old Roman guard,
the Democratic ladies of Columbus

this grand incentive. In speak
