THE DUTY ON WOOL.

Mir Robert Bleakie of Hyde Park Mass, than whom few are better qualified to discuss the question, has been giving some of his views in regard to the duty on wool in answer to questions submitted to him by the secretary of the United Question club of Massachusetts. Mir Bleakie is an ardent tariff reformer, es- pecially in regard to wool, and during the last presidential campaign was very industrious in discussing the question through the public press, endeavoring by every means in his power to make clear that the tax on raw material, and particularly upon wool, was no benefit to the farmer and the manufacturing workmen, and to arouse the business men, the labo1ing men, and even the politicians of New England, to an in- telllgent appreciation of New Englands business interests. What he says on the question of the wool tariff may be re- garded as the views of an expert.
 MT Bleakie maintains that the tax on wool is not beneficial, but injurious, to manufacturers, workmen and farmers. In support of this he refers to, without repeating, statistics which he has ablinL dantly used heretofore to demonstrate the disasters which it has brought upon manufacturers, and alludes to the very recent and heavy fail ures in the woolen industry. To show the crumbling of woolen mills, even in the home of protection, Mir Bleakie quotes from the Wool Reporter of August 8 the following paragraph: ''It is estimated by a reliable authority that one hundred sets of machinery, which naturally be- long to Philadelphia as a wool market, are now idle, being stopped by failures and other causes. The stoppage of this machinery means a probable reduction in the annual sales of that market of not less than 5,OOO,0O0 pounds of greasy wool" It means also loss of employ ment to many hundreds of operatives, and consequent loss of support to thous- ands of individuals. MT Bleakie again refers to the Wool Reporter for proof that the tariff has not only failed to stimulate the domestic production of wool, but that it has steadily declined relatively, although so excessively "pro- tected." This proof he finds in the sta tistics of the total production of the four years from 1886 to 1889 inclusive,

POINTS ABOUT PRlkTMo.s

PROBABLY the first printed poster, intend ed solely to be glued or nailed to the wall, was printed by Fust and Schoefers st Mainx, In 1472. It was Q manifesto Qf the Archbishop of Mainz. A single copy IS ID existence, and it happens to be the very one used by the Archbishop to correct the typo graphical errors of this most precious broad side. 7
 THE makeup rule was the invention of Henry M. Failing, for many years foreman of tho Daily News. While an assistant on the Tribune he found 1t impossible to save his steel rule from being locked up m the form. This he would not know until the next morning. Ho therefore sworo to have Q rule which could not thus be overlooked when blaming and locking up, and invented this style.
 TIE other lost art Is that of printing with flocks, or woolen rags cut up to the very finest, and applied upon gummy or sized surface. The form was made ready and the printing done substantially as 1t would be for bronzing, and tho comminuted woolen rags applied. It gave very soft, velvety surface, but its slowness and the ne- cessity of competition with Photographic col ored work finally drove 1t out of the mar ket. seE. ,.- ,.. ..a-.t.. IS Two OF the minor industries of the print ing trade seem to have entirely disappeared. In every large town there was formerly . workman who made business of supply. ing competitors with steel rules. Old saw l blades were preferred for this use, and the l rules were cut as the printer desired, with | one or two ears, or for makeup purposes. On the side was engraved the name. Most | of these were admirable, better than could
 be obtained from the type founders, and il | is pity that the industry Is lost.
 ''THs cheapness of paper" said dealer l in that commodity the other day, 'is so | marked that look to see . great increase in the amount of printing. The newspapers | have multiplied, both in size and circula-
 tion, but the commercial circulsr and the
 pamphlet have not as yet felt sufficiently
 the effects of the lowering. The reduction
 is probably permanent one. The printers
 are able to give cards, circulars and other
 jobs to the public at 30 low 8 rate that there
 must undoubtedly be great impetus giver
 to that branch of the business"

An Old Time Partisan.

It is easy to recall to mind his familiar
figure as he sits, during winter evenings,
in his favorite corner.
In his easy chair, with pipe IN hand and
his silver-rimmed "specs" pushed back I'M
til they find a soft resting place on his be-
loved snow-white head, with eyes spark
ling and his face beamlng with pleasure as
he calls back old memories of days long
gone by, he is likely to talk something after
this fashion:
"lt's a long time since was boy. All,
but that was many years ago. Sixty long
years have gone and the good Lord knows
they were short enough. I was then as
spruce and pert as any chap Whereabouts.
"Oh, but we boys were boys! Things
have changed heap since those days.
Boys then didn't take much stock in stylish
clothes and they didn't carry canes like
they do now. Clothes and canes didn't cut
much caper then, but it was good hard sense
and work.
1.-THE boy who could do the biggest days
work-could cut the most wood, split the
most rails, plow the most corn, was the most
envied for he was sure to have the sweetest
and best lookin' gal at the 'sirgin' school
or apple peelin'.
II tell you those were good old times!
II didn't think any thing of going thirty
mile or more to see your grandmother, and
We didn't have very good roads either, but
generally had to follow some old Indian
trail.
"Talkin' about sickness then, there was
no sickness like now. If we had cold, a
pain, or any thing, there was the best med
icine in the world found in any log cabin
home you came across. Why, I remember
that my old grandmother, God bless her
soul. she's been dead these fifty years or
more, could make the best home made med
icine for miles around. Her ssarsaparilly'
couldn't be beat. Come to think I just read
in the paper about somebody who is making
this same old log cabin medicine, under the
name of Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla
1T does seem splendid to think that you
can buy those good old home cures at the
druggists nowadays.
"Mebbe you think people were not
healthy in those days, but tell you that
it was mighty seldom any body was sick
long when they. had such good old grand
mother medicine so handy.
"People used to be stronger, healthier
and they lived longer, when l was boy"
