The Democratic party Is engaged III
a vicious war against this industry.
President Cleveland singled i: out in
his message. The majority in the
House followed by an effort to bring
1t into competition with wool from
countries whore ten cents day is con-
sidered extravagant wages to pay
labor
The inevitable result OF placing
wool upon the free list in this country
is thus pointed out by Mr.. Edward
Ammidown in the North american Re
Uie,C; The United States is the sec
ond wool-producing country in 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 bound
less wastes and semi-slave population.
The total production of the world. 50
far as it comes within the field of
statistics, amounts to about 10000
600. 600 of pounds, of which this coun-
try furnishes One-sixth part This
important proportion must be con-
sidered in estimating the effect OF
Legislation tending to discourage our
sheep husbandry. 4 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 10y an
advance in the price of foreign woods,
with higher profits for foreign wool
growers and increased cost OF wooden
goods.
But that is not all, nor the worst.
The destruction of the wool industry
would seriously affect the wages of
hundreds of thousands OF working
men, and cheaper clothing is not a
compensation for disaster like that
This broad principle may be laid
down-that cheapness which entails
reduction of the buying capacity of
the people is disaster rathe- than a
boon. The object of legislation
should not be to secure ldtO prices for
the products of the Nation. but fir
prices, and with that good wages.
This protection will do for this coun-
try, and no other policy will Omaha

no Further Deals with the Ind ans Like

WASHINGTON Oct. 23-The negotiations
between the Sioux and the Governmen MT are
~ an end, and il is more than likely
that Congress at its next session will
amend .he Sioux act so as 10 provide
for the opening Of the great reservation
without any further attempt 10 gain the
consent OF the Indians. The increasing
demand of the West for more land for
settlers and the fact that the Sioux can
make no rogress without the reduction
OF their reservation has convinced the
authorities that public policy demands
that no further attention should be paid
TO the treaties under which the Indians
are constantly falling behind in their ef-
forts TO prevent the wiping out Of the
tribal relat ons. Ii is believed that the
demand for more money for this land is
simply an excuse urged by the older In
dams TO prevent progress, and that if the
increase were granted il would be followed
by demand for more. The President and
Secretary of the Interior are not inclined
60 think that Sl25 is too much to
allow the Indians for the land, provided
that the lands were all alike and open to
settlement under other than the home
stead laws, but there is considerable land
that will never command fifty cents per
acre, and even where the land is of good
quality it is considered as a good deal of
burden upon the settler TO be conn elled
TO 1--we five years upon the land and pay

TARIFF REVISION.
Free-Trade Misrepresentation Made by
Democratic Pol ticians.


The extent TO which the Mills bill re-
duces the present tariff is shown best
when each item OF the schedule is sep
arately examined. The fiction that
the average reduction from 47.l0 TO
~. 40 per cent is a taking one. but it
may be easily exploded, and careful
examination Of the tables shows that
there ]. not a single article affected by
the list the tariff on which is not re-
duced much more than the apparent
general average, which is dishonesty
obtained by considering the effect of
the reduction in a few articles as if 1t
were made upon the whole free and
dutiable list. In other words, assum-
ing that there are hundred articles
on the free list and thousand that
are dutiable, the free traders add fifty
articles undutiable u the free list and
reduce the tax on four hundred and
fifty more. Then they find what will
be the average duty under the proposed
new law, and assert that the difference
between that and the present average
is the measure of the reduction. That,
OF course. is dishonest. The indus
tries that are taxed want to know
what will be the reduction on each ar
ticle, and that we propose 10 show in
this article. The reduction is 100 per
cent. of course. on all that is added to
the free list. The duty on wool, for
example, is reduced 100 per cent; also
in manu- ohauniaol Y,rod,,at. ,,1 ~,
wool, flax, straw, tow, hemp, etc. The
reduction in some of the principal ar
ticles is shown by the following table:
