Eeat wool-gowipg States which have usu.

great wool-growing States which have usu-
ally given large Republican msjorities, are
both accepted as doubtful States this year
because of the growth Of tariff reform
among their people.
In point of fact, the wool-growers of the
country taken as class by themselves,
wonld profit by free wool with the reduc-
ton Oftwenty per cent. on wooleas that
free raw materials would assure and give
greater compensation to both capital and
labor in the wooden industry.
A large majority of the Representatives
of the great wool-growing States favor free
wool, while New England, with only l.
go, 900 sheepin her whole six States, votes
nearly solid against it, aud Pennsylvania,
with less than !, 900, 900 sheep, votes nearly
solid the same way.
II is obvious that the demand for high
taxes on wool does notcome from the wool
growers. On the contrary, it comes from
the representatives of sxtortioDats COM
bines and trusts bred by excessive tariff
duties, and toe wool. grower is made the
foil for monopolists.
The people want free wool-frst, be-
cause there is little labor to protect in its
production; second, because it would
double our wooden mills and double en-
ployment in the wooden industry; third,
because il would give our whole home
market to our home mills and home labor;
fourth, because it would cheaper wooden
goods to consumers fully 20 per cent.
without less to either capital or labor, and,
finally, because it would add greatly to
the general prosperity of the whole people.
The House fairly reflected the wishes OF
the great mass of the people yesterday BY
refusing to strike free wool from the tariff
bill under discussion. There were many
reluctant votes given against free wool
under the Irish of the party whip, and there
will be greater reluctance on the part OF
the people in voting to re-elect these re-
luctant voters next November.

WOOL RAIsERs, ATTENTION

WOOL RAIsERs, ATTENTION
Farmers will do well to hold onto theil
wool and demand the highest market prics
for it. The men who are doing all thi,
shouting about the MILLS bill breaking
the wool market are, the farmer will notice,
the very men who want to buy his wool al
bargain.
They have entered into conspiracy
with the Republican party to break the
wool-grower's markst-the Republicans so
they may blame it on the Democrats and
the wool-bargsin seekers, 50 they may
gouge few more dollars out of the already
oyer.taxed and cheated farmer.
Let the farmers make no mistake. The
MILLS bill has not hurt the icool-markt d
cents rortb, and those who go about pro-
claiming that it has are not the friends Of
the farmer.

To THE EDTToR-Sir: The statistical fig
ures given below I challenge any one to
prove inaccurate. They are from the CEN
sus Of 1880, the last national census taken.
The reasoning and conclusions flowing
from them NO high protectionist, from Mr..
Blaine himself down to the most innocent
voter for the high protective robbery, can
controvert.
Can any handwriting taxpayer, any
farmer, any mechanic, any laborer, any
citizsn outside of the favored manufacturing
capitalists ring, vote for the leaders Of q
party that supports policy which puts in
the pockets of q privileged class the unearn-
ed enormous sum of $5Ss, 497, 400 90, over a
half billion Of dollars, robbed from the con-
sumers all over The land? Here are the
figures:

features in the Unit 100 223 800 o.

Keep in mind that the capital invested
in all the manufactures was less than three
billions of dollars, and, that the value OF
the products, over five and third billions,
was at factory.

Republican Senators I'm CAUCUS.
CONFLICTING VIEWS ON THE TARIFF QUESTION AND
FISHERIES TREArY-ELEcTIoN METHODS IN THE
SOUTH.
At the caucus OF republican senators yesterday
there was good deal OF talk about the fisheries
treaty. The party leaders are anxious TO have a
solid republican vote cast against the ratification
OF the treaty, and it has been assumed that tn
was no danger OF break In the line; but lat
terry some OF the republican senators talked
OF wanting to amend the treaty and the
leaders seemed to grow q little uneasy. The
treaty considered with the view OF solidifying
the party against tt. The tariff question was also
talked over, some OF the Senators maintaining
that tt was time to make preparation Tor tar1n
bill in the event one should pass the House. THIS
subject took q wide range, and as stated In The
STAR yesterday, II was tacCly decided 10 remit II
70 the majority OF the finance committee.
Senator Chandler urged that the reports OF the
investigation OF the alleged election outrages In
Washington County, Tex, and that OF the NUM-
cipal election In jackson, Miss, ought 70 be
printed and distributed In time 70 have effect In
the coming campaign. He maintained that the
Suppression OF the colored vote In the South Of
tered an issue that should not be neglected No
formal action was taken on any OF the question:
but &C the caucus next Tues1ay something oen-
mite In regard TO the nsher1es treaty viii perhaps
be taken.
