THE proposition to postpone the
Worlds Fair till '93. which finds favor
in some sections on account of the short
time allowed tor preparation. would kill
the project. Already robbed of its ma
tional character. take away the ami
versary clause and there will be nothing

abilities. should regard with usrcion
any such overtures.

WoMEN's Rights Advocates ought to
feel pretty we'll satisfied with their dab

consequent notification of the rape law
rs exemplilied in the releas from prison
of Hah Ding, the Milwaukee Chinese
debaueher of young girls. He was
brought before Judge Walbee and recent
decisions cited which left no option but
to order the Monaghan monsters release
The Judge said This is a shocking ex-
ample of the power of misguided women

An industry that has been especially
assailed by free trade advocates. proba
bly, because so generally affecting the
interest of every household. is that of
wool manufactures. And here, as Else
where. the appeal has been to the
msrcenary impulses of the voter, who is
urged to believe that the design and re-
suit of protection is to make prices
permanently higher. A glance at the
history and prices Of some of the pro
duets of wool manufactures may be
profitable.
The tariff on woods and wooden goods
has been at its highest point since
March. 1867. though Cor several years

A reference to quotations of recognized
reliability shows that in 1860, when a
large proportion of carpets used were
made abroad. the wholesale price of
2-ply ingrains was 20 "a 72l cents. and
of 3-plys, 95 "a %! cents per yard Now

facture. The tariff on these if imported
would be about - per cent on foreign
value. which if deducted from the price,
here would be below that for which
carpets of equal quality are sold any
where in the world.
In the case Of clothing comparison i!

and qualities of wooden goods have s.
materially improved since American
mills have produced the majority 0
fabrics worn by our people, for it is
