WHENEVER, during the next six
months, the milkman, the grocer, the
butcher, the iceman, the fishnan, the
fruiterer, or. in fact, any tradesman,
takes it into his head to raise prices on
his customers, he will blandly declare that
the high price of ice compels him to this
course. The scarcity Of ice will be made
to cover a multitude of sins this sum-

THE WOOL TAX.

II is interesting to notice how history
repeats itself, so far rs question of tax
alton is concerned. In the discussion
which took place in congress in 1857 on
the question of practically repeating the
customs tax on wool, Mr. Stanton of
Ohio held substantially the. same posi-
tion that Major Mckinley does to-day,
that is, he was the main defender of the
wool tax. In speech made in the
house Of representatives on February s,
1852, Mr. Stanton having pointed out
that the census of 1850 showed that
there were in the United States 81, 49,
$50 sheep, having a production Of 3d.
616, 343 pounds of wool, and a capital
lied value of $50, 900, 900, said that in
his opinion, if the bill proposed by the
ways and means committee passed, it
would render this great interest I'M
profitable, and would go long
way toward discriminating it. To
the statement Of the New England
woollen manufacturers. that free
wool would mean for the American wool
grower quite as high price for his wool
a. he had been getting, Mr. Stanton as
serted that the notion was nonsensical,
thus, in all respects, anticipating the ar
suments that are made now "a generation
later, by the defenders Of the wool tax.
Says the Boston Herald: At that time
these appeals proved futile; the wool tax
was in substance repealed. Who were
correct in their forecast-ths advocates
Of taxed or Of untaxed wool? While our
woollen manufacturers f1ourished las they
never have before or since, in consequence
Of the opportunities for a wide selection
Of wool which the freedom Of trade per
mitted the number Of sheep in this eoun.
try increased, and the average price of
wool was higher up to the time Of the
change Of the tariff at the outbreak OF
the war than at any like period in the
wool trade. The repeal Of the tax was
one of those changes which are Of unal
10y ed advantage, and yet, before it wal
made, the representatives of the Ohio
wool interest were just as blind to thu
merit Of making it as their successor
are to-day.

Charles Bayard, noted entomologist'
had some strange adventures in India.
One very hot day he shouldered his en-

might be within hearing, but all in vain.
An hour passed, and Bayard was about
to change his position in the tree, when,
in clutching branch above him, his
hand was severely stung or bitten by
some insect or reptile. Starting with
acute pain. as the fear Of tree-snakes
flashed through his mind, he involun-

and fell from his place of refuge. He
dropped squarely on the buffalos back,

to where the calf was still lying, and,
finding that it could not shake OF Its

On the rich and wide expanse of Uncle Sans

Farmers till the fertile soil and raise the
golden grain,
And from the hillside In the East as well as
Western plain,
They are now feeding the nations.

For he is feeding the nations.
From the pine-clad hills Of Maine to Cali

Still to be feeding the nations.
CHORUS.
Though the crops one season fail and profits all

Thousands on the earth below would not

But the farmer willingly begins his work anew

When the dark days approach and the light Of
hope grows dim,
And the merchants far and near are making

The dependent millions then must put their

Who is still feeding the nations.
