FRAUDS IN WOOL.
How the Rulings of Cleveland's APP
pointees have Nullified the Tariff Laws.

How the Rulings of Cleveland's APP
pointees have Nullified the Tariff Laws.
In reply to a letter from Hon. w. C.
Dunton of Rutland, Hon A. b. Valentine
of Bennington writes rs follows
In accordance with your request, write
to State some facts which come to my
knowledge in the prosecution of my bust
ness as manufacturer of wool goods.
1t does not seem to be generally known
that woods are now practically on the free
list, owing to the construction put upon
the law relating to the classification of
woods by the administration at Washing
ton, such construction being the cause OF
the exceedingly low prices of domestic
woods, as low perhaps rs though wool was
on the free list, and lower than it can be
raised at profit in this country.
To illustrate this statement | instance
| the fact that the finest of Australian and
other wool is classified as waste" and
comes in for 10 cents per pound duty as
against 80 cents for corresponding grades
of secured wool, because torsooth, it has
| been carded. 1t is clean, unmiXed fine
strong wool and absolutely uninjured il
fibre or appearance. We are now using il
at the mill under the name of rings" sc
called on account of its being III RING
| shape.
Again, immense quantit es of clean
clear, fine woods, under the name Of
tops" made SO on purpose to evad9 oul
laws, have been imported in Il like man
ner. In this case, the classification was
so clearly wrong and contrary to the law
| that 1t was reversed, and one large In
voice returned whence it came, bnt only
to appear again, aud this time to pass I'm
| challenged, because a little waste was
scattered through it,, and now the abuse
goes on unchecked.
Still again, fine worsted and other
yarns (leally waste this time are import
ed in great quantities. YANKEE ingenuity
finding a way by the use of machine
called Garnet machine" 1--WE have two
which untwists and opens the thread ant
the product is wool OF fine unlnjured fl
| bre, clean, clear, strong. soft and beauti
full. This stock goes far toward keeping
down the price OF our home woods.
Thus, the rulings of the appointees o
| Pres dent Cleveland have practically nul
lifted our tariff laws relating TO wool, ant
has substantially made free wool in spit
of Congress.
| am dealing with facts, and yet can
not help adding what is obvious to al
who will think on the subject for mo
ment, that the fact of the change of rul
ings and classification from time 20 time
shows at least that the law will bear tn
construction of protection to this great III
duslry, and this was evidently the inteL
ton OF the trainers OF the law. such con
struction, in the interest Of American III
dustres, Is not the purpose Of Presiden
! Cleveland. He mas committed himself 4
the impOr alton of wool, free of duty, wit
all that it implies, and, while he Is pres
dent, free wool he will have, in spite o
the letter and sp rit of the law.
Yours truly.

With great presence of mind he managed
to eXtricate himself and hold the horses
head until Mr.. Gleed could recover him
self and cut the harness so as TO release
the horse. Both gentlemen were well
shaken up and bruised, but fortunately
escaped serious injuries.

The Judicial Convention.

The Republican Convention Of the
Seventh Judicial District met at Ports
mouth on Tuesday, at 10 a. m., at
Wilhelm's Opera House. J. P. Pur-
dunn, Of Portsmouth, was made Tenn
porary Chairman, and W. D. Corn
Temporary Secretary. A committee
of one from each county was appoint
ed on permanent organization, creden-
tials and resolutions, and an adjourn
ment taken until 2 p. m.
At 2 p. m. Convention re-assembled
and the reports of the committees re-
ceived, the temporary organization
being reported for the permanent,
which was, at the request Of Mr.. Corn
changed by the substitution Of Hon.
John W. Gregg, of Pike, for Secretary.
The roll Of counties being called for
nominations, Jackson County, by J.
w. Laird, presented James M. Trip;
Pike County, by Gen. Wells S. Jones,
presented w. Dow James; and Vim
ton County, by Capt. Rannells, pre-
sented Homer G. Jones.
The balloting from the first indica-
ted that the nominee was not to have
an overwhelming majority of the votes
cast, all the candidates being well and
favorably known and each having his
especial claim upon the Convention
which the Convention seemed desirous
to recognize. Sixteen ballots were
taken, on the last James M. Trip be-
ing nominated by the following vote:
Tripp, Jackson Is, Lawrence - 3-19,
Scioto 8, total 36 3-19.
James, Pike 9, Scioto 3, total 70.
Jones, Vinton 9, Scioto 5, Lawrence
8 1919, total % 1919.

Democratic papers have been rails
ing a holy howl because so many
members of the Chicago Convention
are connected with rail roads in some
capacity. Just in proportion as these
Republicans, who have the misfortune
to make their living by working for
railroads, are > successful in knocking
Democratics out of time, do the Dem
ocrats feel badly about Republicans
being railroaders. This bad feeling
set in when Judge Thurston, of Ne
braska, took charge of the Convention
as temporary chairman Of the Con-
vention, and will no doubt continue to
the end of the campaign.

HARRISON, MORTON AND VICTORY!

The Republican National Conven-
ton, after the most remarkable scenes
ever seen enacted in any National
Convention, has concluded its labors
by the selection of a ticket that insures
to the Republican party return to
power in National politics on the
4th Of March next. No other Con-
vention ever had such wealth Of
candidates from which to choose and
under all the circumstances none ever
chose more wisely. Indiana, whose
vote carried by the Republicans in
sures success for the Republican par
| ty, heads the magnificent political
battle that is just being opened by that
gallant soldier, that tried statesman,
and splendid political fighter, Benja-
min Harrison.
Every school boy fresh from his
books knows that the name Of Har-
rison has long been an honored one in
the history Of our country; every
young man, that in the battles that
have been fought to preserve the Ma
tion and in the legislation to perpetu-
ate it, the name and fame Of Harrison
is so interviewer, and has so indelibly
stamped itself upon the politics and
policies of the nation, as to be part
of history itself; and the old men re-
membering the gallant fight of 1910,
wherein "Tippecanoe and Tyler too
swept the country and bore from pow
er President to whose election to
power and whose fall the history of
Cleveland will prove an exact parallel,
will lend his every energy to bringing
about Republican success in the cam
paign.
As Cleveland is the favorite son of
| New York, so in 1910 was Van Buren
as Cleveland came to the Presidency
from the Governors chair, so came
Van Buren,; as Cleveland is backed
by money and officials in power, so
Van Buren,; as Cleveland was rendered
unanimous nomination In the belief
that he and he alone can carry his
party through to success, so again
Van Buren,. Yet as certainly as Van
Buren went down before gallant old
Tippecanoe, the illustrious grandfather
of the Republican standard-bearer, SO
will Cleveland go down this year.
The Democracy might as well make
up their minds to go. The echoes of
the first battle of the year still linger
among the mountains Of Oregon; In
diana is wild with enthusiasm over
the honor bestowed on her favorite
and illustrious son, and when Novem-
ber comes will bury the Democratic
ticket under majority of ten thou
sand, while the savage attacks on
American industries and American
labor by the President and his party,
will carry New Jersey and Connecti-
cut. In addition to all this, New
York has upon the ticket one Of her
tried and true men in the person Of
Levi P. Morton.
Against this combination of patriot
ism, craftsmanship and Republican
ism, the Democratic combine can not
stand Tt must 90.

late Henry Ward Beecher, and Miss
Caroline A. Huling, editor of the JUS
titia, the suffrage Journal of Illinois.
They were heard by the committee on

as long as their votes would be need

them the desired recognition.
