The WOolen Problem.
(The Cleveland Plain Dealer.)

The difference between the wool
growers and the wOolen manufacturers
Is beco ming intensified as the question
of an October session of Congress as
sumes more prominence. The wool
growers urge the calling of an extra
session to expedite the passage of a tar
iff amendment bill that will increase
the duties on certain grades of foreign
wool. They say it is absolutely neces-
sary If their industry is to be saved from
utter ruin. There is now they claim,
no profit in wool growing and for the
majority Of smaller wool growers an an
nual loss; therefore they insist that a
higher tariff fence shall be built around
their sheep and they propose to make
it exceedingly interesting for the Re-
publican party unless this is done.
On the other hand the wool manu-
facturers say higher duties on wool
means ruin to them. They are now in
serious straits owing to the large cost of
their raw material compared with the
price their foreign competitors pay. A
large proportion of the woolen mills of
this country are idle and rotting and
steadily the number of active mills di-
ulIUlSAcSs 1 lie IIIhEuldCVuT6TS urge up
on the growers that. the increase de-
manded would be murderous to the
manufacturers and suicidal on the part
of the growers. With free wool they
would be able to go into the markets of
the world for their raw material, COM
pelling by competition the foreign man.
ufacturer to pay more for the article he
now secures at low rate and thus
equalizing the conditions of contest in
the markets for manufactured good.
The ability to buy needed grades of for
fegn wool would enable American man
ufacturers to diversity their products,
enlarge their production and sale and so
increase the demand for grades or do
mestic wool which they must have. II
is their claim that manufacturer and
grower would both be benefited by free
wool and both be seriously injured by
higher duties on the raw material.
This will be an interesting problem
for the Republican tariff tinkeFs to
study over when Congress meets. The
American consumer Of woolen goods,
who neither raises sheep or manGfac-
lures woOl, may possibly also be heard
from.

sometimes have other things to attend
to, and 1t is Away when least expected
that the burglars come To make their
collections. Sometimes they come
again the following night, but only
when they have forgotten something.
Seldom is anything recovered, and
when something is returned it is gener-
ally by the burglars generosity, which
prompts them to return heirlOoms, or,
perhaps, their lack of sentiment does
not allow them to appreciate heirlooms.
If we overlook the shortcomings Of q
burglar we can see that he serves q
good purpose a. well as every thing else
in creation. He serves Indirectly to
secure work for the lOcksmith, the tall
or, the jeweler, profit to the second
hand clOthing-dealer aud support to q
numerous and stately police force. A
company has been formed which offers
to rut telegraph facilities into every
house for So u year, by which one can
call mounted police officer every time
y burglar is in the house. 1t is hoped
that the horse will frighten the burglar.
But this company does not indemnify
the housekeeper when the burglar has
packed up and gone with the goods.
Therefore burglar insurance company
is pressing necessity. Louis Globe

I thousands and millions Of farmers
wives are doing. My Overcoat Is be-
coming somewhat shabby after r.
years service, but I could not afford to
get another last fall, because IhAve had
to pay 80 much duty on things we have
needed more, and there are mil
lions OF farmers going without things
slor the same reason. Over production
is not the trouble so much as under
consumption, and the latter does not
increase the demand for wool or the
wages Of the operatives in woolen fac
tories. OF the $40 duty on my 100 lbs.

fore the war.
6. Have they gained or lost social dig
nifty as compared with other classes,
such as merchants and mechanics?
Ask something harder. None but
snobs look down upon farmers, or any
one else nowadays, because of their oc-
cupatisn. They are advancing in in
telligence slowly as well as the rest of
mankind. As to whether farmers sons
show any less willingness than formerly
to become farmers, do not think there
is much difference. Farming at pres
ent, with its improved appliances, is
more attractive than it used to be, and
also more productive with the same la
Dor; so really the boys can be more cas-
lily spared.
At the end of the year the farmer
finds that instead of having a whole
pie for his labor, he has only a piece,
and bite of that is gone for interest;
indirectly, at least, on government
bonds, watered railroad stock, etc.,
another bite is gone for taxes to pay a
horde of officials big salaries; another
for protection; another to support the
liquor business with its train of evils;
another for trusts; another for excessive
profits to agents and middlemen; and
after few more for natural causes
droughts, bugs, sickness, etc.,-he finds
his pie all gone and only piece of
crust left. F.H.C.

BURGLAR INSURANCE.
The Startling Suggestion Made by 8
Wide-Awake st. Louis Physician.


Wide-Awake st. Louis Physician.
Why not have q burglar insurance
company? We have life, fire, accident
and other insurance companies; and yet
the risk of loss of life, health or proper
ty by burglary is as great as that from
any other cause. In our present high
state of civilized life it is an accident
most likely to happen, and is constant
and unavoidable risk. In the west end
thirty-eight burglaries were committed
within the last two months. Any re-
sponsible company which would un-
dertake to indemnify it's subscribers for
such loss could command high pre-
MUM, and an immense patronage. Not
only the wealthy would join, but aLy-
body who had any thing, especially the
large middle class. who can little afford
to lose what they have. I am of the
latter class. l have lost by burglary
within the last four years more than
five-hunGred dollars worth of clothing
alone. If had a wife and jewelry my
loss would, of course, have been pro.
portionately greater. 4 am a careful
man, too; | pay my nightwatchman
regularly as he comes round every
Month; Tuse political Influence to have
a double police force in my pnrt of the
