WANTS FREE. WOOL.

Able Views Clearly Expressed by Re-
publican of High standing.
Joseph NJ Wade, editor and general
manager of Fiber and Fabric, publica-
ton devoted to the interests of the cot
ton and wooden trades, in letter just
published says:
AS born naturalist and student Of natural
law and natural rights I am satisfied that the
duty on raw material should be removed with
perhaps some rare exceptions Ii would then
bring not only our carpet manufacturers, but
all other textile manufacturers, down to
hard pan basis with their foreign competitors,
and if we still retained SUFFICIENT protection
on manufactured goods, we should be able to
compete favorably in the markets OF the world,
while keeping our own. This conclusion Is
natural one and not drawn from statistics or
commercial reports. 1 am satisfied that
the life OF the Republican party depends on
their action In this matter of raw material. 1t
Is no longer question of political deals, but
has become one Of the wrongs which great
people must throw off; and we have advanced
so far in education that even our laborers see
conclusively that we are saddled with this un
natural and unrighteous tax on raw materials,
which only prohibits US from buying where we
can buy cheapest. I am not prepared to apply
the principle to manufactured goods but the
day has come when it should be applied to raw
material, and the day will come when we can
apply it to manufactured goods as well. Let
us guard we'll our industries and make no mis-
takes.
Mr. Wade IS, and always has been. a
Republican, but he is not politician.
The views he expresses so ably and
clearly are shared by thousands and ten
thousands of intelligent Republicans,
who will not continue much longer tc
vote with that party if it persists in its
present war upon American industries.

LOGIC OF PROTECTION.
A Case That Should he Investigated by
Brother Mckinley.

Says the Muscatine 0a.) News:
but talk OF carrying Goals to Newcastle!
What is that compared with this Muscatlne en-
terprise which ships whole train of fir and
redwood from the Pacific coast to Muscatine
and returns it in elegantly wrought work for
the finest hotel IN the Northern Pacific coun-
try:''
Where are our protective regulators OF
industry? This thing should be stopped.
1t will never do to permit the Muscatine
manufacturers to take the bread out of
the mouths of tie working people of the
Pacific coast in this way. 1t was all
very we'll to send the train of fir and
redwood from the Pacific coast to Iowa.
That was export trade and according
to our high-tariff doctors export trade is
a good thing. But it was all wrong to
permit the wood to be carried back to
the coast in the manufactured state.
The Pacific coast should protect it's
labor against such invasion by the
products of the ''pauper labor" of Mnsca-
tine.
Does Mr.. Chairman Mckinley say that
the National constitution forbidS the
protection of the Pacific coast workmen
by means of a tariff on the manufactures
of Muscatine? So much the worse for
-:le constitution if Mr.. McKinley's eco
nomic teachings are sound. The consti-
tuition should be amended as soon as
possible so as to permit the wise law
makers of the slope to protect their labor
against the pauper labor of Muscatine,
and exc to permit the wise lawmakers
of any other section to do likewise.
1t is true that principal object in
establishing the constitution was to put
an end to State and sectional protection
ism. But according to McKinleys
doctrine 1.-The fathers greatly erred in
this regard. -Chicago Times.

CHAPTER XI.-CONTINCED.
AFTER the war was over we had all we
could do to accustom ourselves to the new
order of things and collect our scattered re-
sources. OF course, the estate was badly
crippled, though not as badly as many
others, but, as our establishment was not
large and my wants were simple. we got
along after fashion. l had no ambitions
in those days, and cared little whether sat

were once more on solid foundation, and
able, not only to make our living, but to pay
our servants, who, l must confess, were
more willing and efficient workers under
the new order of things. But, my dear

The Dull Senses of Criminals.

Some Italian observers have been re-
Gently testing the senses of criminals,
and they find these duller than in the
average of people. Signor Ottolenghi,
in Turin, found, last year, a less acute
sense of smell in criminals, and he now
affirms the same for taste, which he
tested by applying bitter and sweet sub
stances (strychnine and sacchrine) in
dilute solution to the tongue. He finds,
also, the taste of the habitual criminal
less acute than that of thu casual offend
er, and slightly more acute taste in
male than in female criminals. Expert
ments with regard to hearing were made
by Signor Gradenigo (also in Turin),
and of eighty-two criminals he found
fifty-five Tor 67.3 per cent. to have less
than the normal acuteness the greatest
inferiority being in the oldest. In fe-
male criminals the relations were some
what better: fifteen out Of twenty-eight
had hearing under the average. The
limits of variations in acuteness also
appeared to be much wider in criminals
than in normal persons. Ear disease
was common. Signor Gradenigo attrib-
utes these things to bad hygienic con-
ditions of life and vicious habits.-Pall

in moment of weakness confessed to his
wife that his cigars cost him one dollar

she asked. He replied in the afiirma-

of her own regarding economy, asked
him if he would not give her in the
evening when he returned home ten
cents for every, cigar. he had smoked
during the day for pin money. She ex-

the proposition.

There is little positive opposition in
the Republican press to the scheme to

an unpopular measure and hurt the
party, but there is no vigorous dissent

How Diamonds Are Split.

The diamond has grade Of cleavage
plane, the same as most mineral or
crystalline substances, and hence it is
possible to split or divide one into two
or more parts. Sometimes largo piece
is removed at once from a gem by split
ting, but it is process attended with
much risk. To accomplish this matter
the stone is carefully studied and its
line of cleavage ascertained; it Is placed
in hardened cement, in the proper posi-
ton, and the sharp edge Of steel
chisel, resembling a razor, is carefully
adjusted so that the division will be at
the points desired, and sharp rap with
hammer is given it. Perhaps no more

LOVE OF HISTORY.
True or False. Its Records Always Appeal
to Human Passions.

to Human Passions.
The love of history seems inseparable
from human nature. because it seems in
separable from Seif-love. The same
principle, in this instance. carries US
forward and backward. to future and to
past ages, and runs through mankind,
from Caesar down to the parish clerk in
Pope's Miscellany. We are fond of pre-
serving, as far as it is in our power. the
memory of our own time. and of those
who preceded it. Rude heaps of stone
have been raised, and rude hymns have
been composed, for this purpose, by
nations which had not yet the use of
arts and letters. Togo no further back,
the triumphs of Odin were celebrat ted in
runic songs, and the feats of our British
ancestors were recorded in those of their
bards The savages of America have
the same custom at this day: and long
historical ballads of their huntings and
their wars are sung at all their festivals.
= There is no need of saying how this
passion grows among civilized nations,
in proportion to the means of crafty
ing it; but let us observe. that the same
principle of nature directs us as strong
", and more generally as we'll as more
early, to indulge our own curiosity. in
stead of preparing to crafty that of
others. The child hearkens with de-
light to the tales of his nurse; he learns
to read, and he devours with eagerness
fabulous legends and novels: in ripper
years he applies himself to history, or
to that which he takes for history. to
authorized romance: and, even in age,
the desire of knowing what has hap
pened to other men. yields to the desire
alone of relating what has happened to
ourselves. Thus history, true or false,
speaks to our passions always.-N. y.
