Educating New England.

The Wool Consumers Association of
New England in its June circular
takes advanced grounds, not only
against the Mckinley bill but against
the whole system of high tariff taxa
ton for the restriction Of trade. The
circular asserts with perfect truth that
American taxes on raw material are
protection to the foreign manufacturer
against American competition. "Iht
foreign manufacturer alOne,' it says,
has profited by the duties on wool.
He has been enabled TO get his mater
ial much cheaper than he could nave
done if American competition for ii
had not ben almost impossible. and
has thus enjoyed an enormous advant-
age over manufacturers in our own
country. In the case of carpet wool
the domestic manufactures gre burden
ed hy sn oppressive tax Of "a to 80 per
cent on their material, though practic-
ally no carpet wool is grown in the
United States. The present duties on
manufactured goods are only in small
part protective, being largely made
necessary by the excessive duties OH
wool, and with free wool the rates on
goods which are row so high as to in
vite cdium might be greatly reduced
without injury To the manufacturers"
This il signed by the representatives
of the Lowell notwithstanding Company,
the Wauschuck Company, the Ney-
basset Mills, the Riverside and Oswego
Mills, and by others representing eigh-
teen wollen facto les. The association
has been organized by these manufact-
urers for permanent work, with head
quarters at 66 State street, Boston.
AS far as the Republic remembers,
New England wool manufacturers ex-
press in this circular, for the first time
in the fight for the reform of the pres
ent tariff, a Willingness to allow the
rate to be- reduced on wooliens in order
tn obtain cheaper raw material. Among
New England leather workers who
have uutuxed r4w naterinl there IL a
strong element which denies the neces-
sity of any trade restrictions whatever,
but 20 the wool manufacturers hereto
fore tariff reform has meant free trade

Of the manufacturers who have organ
ICED the Wool Consumers Association
that they are able 10 understand that
this is impossible. The Republican
party could not exist at all if it freed
raw material and taxed only finished
products. The Democratic party Is
anxious to abolish all taxes on raw ma
terial, but its main object in attempt
ing this is to chespen finished products
to the people, which it could not do un.
der tariff prohibiting imports.
New England manufacturers cannot
get free raw material from the Repub-
lican party. The Republicans of the
West and Pennsylvania will not allow
1t. They can get it from the Demo
Gratis, but only as q part Of general
reduction # all tariff taxes to the rev

Harassed and hampered by the Re-
publican policy, New England has
held out for the restrictive tariff in the
vain hope of getting free raw material
without any corresponding reduction
on manufactured goods. It's cotton
factories, which pay no raw material
taxes except on such minor articles as
dye stuffs, pay enormous dividends.
Some of them realize u full return of

Is crippled by raw material taxes. The
Iron workers effected a strong organiz-
alton last year and protested steadily
against being forced to buy coal anu
ore from Pennsylvania when they
wished to get it from Canada. But
nothing came Of their protest. The
Republicans laughed at it and the
Democrats invited them to call again
when they were ready tor the sort of
reform that would help the consumer,
as well as the manufacturer. The
"wooi consumersn have taken what is
for New England a radical step in as
serting that with free wool 1.-The duties
on wooIlens could be greatly reduced

their enlargement of vision. The Cam

A Record Of infamy.

The lower house of congress has
been standing and costly disgrace to
the country from the very day it con-
vened down to the present. The sem
ate has been half way decent, although
it conDived at and was q confederate
to the theft of two United States SEN
ators from Montana. Still, the sen-
ate defeated old man Blair's educa-
tIonai bill and it has been backward
about wasting public money. All
things considered. the senate will
probably escape much the torrent Of
just criticism which will be hurled at
the house
1t is too great a task to 90 over the
eventtul and disgraceful career OF the
house. In the first place, unconstitu-
tional rules were adopted tor the sole
purpose of enabling Reed and his
gang to perpetrate every outrage de-
sired. Democrats have been unseated
for no other reason than because
some republican scalawag wanted
their places and salaries. We find
that the pension roll has been in
creased fully 100000 900 per annum in
so far as the power of the house
reaches, and taxes upon the necessar-
les of life have been increased. The
republicans, upon assuming power,
found 500, 100000 in the treasury
which had been saved by the demo-
cratic administration. This they at
once squandered, and created addi-
tional expenses so as to make re-
duction of taxation impossible. Peo-
pie with common sense can readily
perceive the drift Of republican legis-
lation, and the fact that the farmers
are up in arms is conclusive proof that
the present congress will not be able
to hid its iufamy.
Democrats will control the nextco
gress beyond any question, and it will
only be human nature if they give
the republicans a dose of their own
medicine. TIE treasury looters, pen
sion sharks, jobbers and tariff barons
are having their fun now, but they
will be called upon to pay the fid-
dler next November. 1t is doubtful
If there will be enough of them left to
bury the dead and care for the wound
ed when the polls close in November.

A curious phase of Russian prison
life is exhibited by a Medical Cores
pondent" of Moscow paper. 1t of
ten happens that a respectable man is
confined in prison for some slight of
fence. At times even an elder of n
small community must submit 10 such
a penalty for what the Russian law
calls a neglect of duty. Such a person
is retained i'm a room together with a
lot of obdurate criminals, who are
either awaiting trial or sentenced to
be put at hard labor in fortress.
When the respectable prisoner comes
among them. they begin to press him
for "a treat of good fellowship" He
must send for u bottle of brandy. If
he is not as liberal as they want him
to be, they harass and torment him.
Should he make a threat to complain
before the authorities of their conduct
they Immediately decide upon per-
forming on him the Operation of cupp-
ing" as they call it. The poor fellow
is then stripped naked, stretched out
on a bench and held fast. His mouth
is stuffed with rag so that his cries
cannot be head outside. A spot on
his breast is made wet, and one of h is
tormentors rubs Ii with his unshaven
chin until the skin becomes red. Here
upon another one slaps that spot with
his fat hand with all his might. A
large blister Immediately appears on
the wounded place. This is what they
call setting cup. Six or eight such
"cups" are sometimes set on the breast.
the sides, and the back of the sufferer,
so that he is una bic to lie down for
several days. In some instances more
serious injuries are caused by the

4 Federal Election Law.

In special dispatches to some of the
republican organs Speaker Reed Is
quoted as saying very positively that
the house will agree upon and pass
some kind of a national election law.
1t will be then for the senate to see
what shall be done with it.n The
Hon, Henry Cabot Lodge also is re-
ported as declaring. even as late as yes
terday morning: The Republicans "a re
going to agree to some Kind of an
election bill, and will pass it. Then
their power and responsibility will
end. The house can transact business.
If the senate cannot, that Is not the
fault of the house, and the people are
becoming restive at the slow and inn
practica BILE methods of the senate"
These statements are eiicited by scep-
teal suggestions as to the Indifference
OF the party i'll power 10 the assume.
need OF controlling the machinery of
elections of members of congress, and
their tone is very significant. It's not
favorable to the supposition that
either MIR. Reed or Mr.. Lodge expects
a general election law to be passed at
this session, but quite the contrary.
In place of the fictitious zeal for reform
and purity OF elections which charac-
the managers of the republican ma
chine in this matter, there appears
now only perfunctory forma!ity.
The bill, or bill, is to be passed toy
the house-which Mr.. Reed can bring
about at any time that he may choose
to use his authority-and that is to be
the end of it. Neither of the gentle
men above quoted admits for d mo-
ment that he expects the senate to do
anything with such a measure.
U..less, therefore. some unforeseen
change iii the political situation oc-
ours, the utmost that is indicated in
the present temper of the party rulers
is pretense of legislation which
shall fall between the two houses. 1t
is doubtful, indeed. if it even gets
one of them. The reasons of
this change are not difficult of under
standing. One reason is the increas-
ing distaste Of the southern republican
en- bers of congress for such interfer-
ence as that which it proposed. The
doubt with which they first received
this scheme of the northern politicians
has grown to serious distrust. They
see in it the doom OF such little popu-
larity as they may have been able to
secure for themselves if such a plan
were ever plit iIItO op6EaIIDu Win tDblT
and they therefore ale free TO
speak out and declare, as they do, that
elections in all but few of the con-
eressional districts of the south are as
fair and as free as anywhere in the
a bill cannot be drawn so as to ap-
ply to one section alone, but must
control elections in the northern as
well as in the southern states; and
while there may be a few others be-
sides Mr.. Lodge who would like to see
federal troops at the pools in Massa-
chusetts, prudent partisans OF that
stripe look forward few years to the
time when this proposed federal ma
chine will be in tue hands of demo-
cratic administration, and they recoil
at the prospect.-JcGerson City Iri-
