more effect upon the price OF wool than
had the last eclipse Of the sun. The market
price Of wool In the Boston, New York
and Philadelphia markets to-day is no
higher than it was at this time last wear.
Indeed, by referring to last September's

Cleyelana's administration show a marked

Hence If market quotations count for any
thing II can be SHOWN that wool bore a
better price during CleYeland's presidency
than IL does TO day. And the tariff has
undergone no change during the time, all
of which simply prove that the price of
wool. like that Of range beef OF any other
marketable commodity, is regulated by the
supply and demand.

this criminal career until the discovery of
