eFERAL GoFF's OPINION.


"It is the most perniciOus bill proposed
since the Democratic party has had contro
of the House. 1t threatens the entire bus
mess interests of the nation. 1t is blow
at the farmer; it would ruin the manufac
turer. 1t will destroy the wool interests
now one of the largest and most importan
in the country, made so by the protective
system. We now produce one-siXth Of all
the wool grown in the world"
''How would the bill affect West Vir
ginis?"
ut is savage attack upon most Of hel
industries. Wool, lumber and salt, West
Virginia products, 60 on the free list. Oul
lnmber trade is now large and increasing
Our forests are extensive, and among thu
most valuable on the continent; we make
large shipments to all the Eastern anC
coast cities. With free lumber, this viii
cease-unless we have great reduction II
our labor and transportation rates.
How will it bear on the industries o.
your district?'
"it strikes them particularly hard, 1t
destroys wool-growing, in which my dis
trict is largely interested. 1t will Close
our wooden mills and severely iDjure oul
glass and pottery establishments, as also
our iron and steel works. 1t pretends tO
correct an inequality as between hard and
soft steel-eminently proper, which should
have been done by separate measure;-
then it would have passed without diff
Guilty. AS it Is, it will fail. f"
1t will close our potteIies-it is an un-
pardorable blow at them. They cannot
continue in business under this bill, unless
there is large reduction in the wages oi
those employed in them. That should mol
be asked, nor forced by law. The reduc'
tion in this particular is rulnOus.s On dec,
grated ware it is thirty. three per cent ol
the duty, and on plain it is twenty-seVeu
per cent In my judgment there should
be no reduction, so far as this industry is
concerned. But this will do now, some
other time for the rest"

question then is
SHALL OUR WOoLEN MILLS CLOSE,
and this important industry be transferred
across the sea, taking with it the wool
growers market, or shall We. put the
American manufacturer, as to his material
on an equality with his competitors? By
free wool and a great reduction on the
tariff on wooden goods, we can save this
industry, restore it to the same vigor that
boot and shoe and the cotton industries

II answer that by asking if there has
ever been a worse year for Merino wool
than 1887, and if the uniform history Of
the past has not shown better prices under
free wool ard low taxed wool than when
there was a high tariff, and finally whether
it is better for the wool grower to have a
diminishing demand for his product, or a
steady and increasing demand? do not
believe free wool will impair prices, and l

HIS RECORD.

Delegate Dubois poses as en- anti
Mormon in the campaign for the Con.
gressional Delegateship which is now
being conducted in Idaho. and he is
trying to make it appear that his OPP
ponent, Hon. James q. Hawley, is a
friend to tie Mormons. A strong effort
is being put forth to make the issue
Mormon sni anti-Mormon, leaving
party politics entirely out of the ques-
ton. Of course, this ought not to be
done, and to do it would greatly retard
the rapid progress which our sister
Territory is making towards Statehood
and greatness. But suppose that ques-
ton were made the sole issue, how
would Mr.. Dubois stand? Not very
creditably, we take it, it 1t is virtue
for an official to enforce the law. The
Edmunds Law, making coha5itiol
with more than on4 woman I'M

enacted il 1882, and up until 1886

ing the evi snce to convict. In look
