JOE HOWARD says that the question
Of whether editors of certain sensational
newspapers supply disreputable reading
matter because the public demands it or
whether the public taste was originally
vitiated by the printing of such matter,
is repetition Of the old question, which
came first, the chicken or the egg!

THE attempt that is making in con-
gress to modify the questions which are
to be put by the census takers comes
rather late. If the questions are going
to make trouble, the mischief will have
been done before congress gets there.
1t is a matter that ought to have been
Thought of before. A more absurd and
impudent schedule of inquiries was
rarely framed.

Cheaper Wool and Che.per Clothes.

The admission of foreign wool free
will cause an advance in the price Of
domestic wool and at the same time
lessen the price of wooden goods. Why?
Because it is statistical fact. For ex-
ample, from 1857 to 1869 nearly all the
fine woods of South America and the
Cape of Good Hope, and many Of those
grown in Australia, were admitted free
of duty. The prices of domestic wool
under the high tariff during the five
years ended in 1883 are put side by side
with the above:

IT is reported on the authority OF Joe
Manley of Maine, confidential friend
Blaine, that the secretary of the state
has given up all hope of ever being
elected president, does not believe
that Harrison will be reelected, and is
driving stakes to be chosen United
States senator to succeed Senator Hale,
whose time expires in 1893. This is
pretty good evidence that the shrewd
Mr. Blaine perceives that the next presi-
dent will he democrat.

cont. would not be suAacienS 70 induce
our people TO go back to raising carpet

cont. would not be su1ac1enS 70 induce
our people to 60 back to raising carpet
wool
It il estimated by q high authority
that the increased cost Of carpet woods
under the proposed law would raise the
price OF carpets anywhere from nine to
thirty-three cents yard. Increased
cost means fewer sales, fewer carpeted
parlors, fewer carpet mills, and fewer
workers in them. And who is to be pro-
teoted by this law?
Nobody; absolutely nobody.
1t is simply q part of the scheme to
humbug the farmer by making him be-
lieve that he, too. is getting some OF
the benefits of protection. 1t will be
nice thing to tell the farmer in cam
paign speeches, Here is protection for
you, too; we have not forgotten you;
you also shall grow rich"
Men who expect the farmer to believe
this stuff, so far as it relates to carpet
wool, give him credit for a very shallow
brain. Instead of helping him. this
duty on carpet wool is direct injury to
him; for the farmer is to some extent q
buyer Of carpets. The price Of carpets
will be higher by reason of the higher
| duty. But this is not the whole effect.
The quality of the carpets themselves
| will be made much poorer. Everybody
knows that the use Of shoddy in carpet
making has been very largely extended
during the past ten years. According to
| the census Of 1880 we used fifty-two mil
lion pounds Of domestic shoddy, besides
| what we imported. How much Is used
now nobody knows exactly; but q calcu-
lation has been made by the New York
Commercial Bulletin to show that at
least one-third of the material used by
our carpet and wooden mills is shoddy.
This paper is q high authority in trade
circles, and its estimate deserves
careful consideration from the
grower of wool as we'll as from
the consumer of cloth and carpets. The
| Bulletin estimates that the shoddy used
last year was some two hundred million
pounds. Every pound of shoddy used
of course draws out an equivalent OF
pure wool. but the wool-grower," as
| this paper says, never stops to con-
| slider that this use of old wool, collected
in the form of old clothes and rags and
worked up after cleaning in the mills,
is powerfully stimulated by the very
steps he insists upon taking to shut out
cheaper supplies of wool. Neither does
the consumer consider that the dete-
rioration in quality of goods produced,
of which he often complains, is due in
considerable measure to the same in.
fluence. The manufacturers of wool,
when forced to choose between high
priced wool and shoddy, inevitably use
more shoddy and less wool, and the
growers and consumers both get the
worst of it all the time. Nor is this
tendency one which can in any way be
arrested by legislative interference,
There is no remedy for it possible, ex'
cept to secure the amplest and cheapest
possible supplies of wool for the manu-
facturer. Any attempt to enhance the
price can only result in more rapid in
crease in the consumption of shoddy."

RECENT interviews with Bismarck rep
resent the great German statesman as
talking very freely about the causes that
led to his deposition and about his pur.
poses for the future. One of the inter
views is asserted to have been with the
reporter Of French newspaper. These
stories must be taken with a great deal
of allowance. Prince Bismarck was
never devoid of common sense, and it is
not likely, at this late day, that he has
80 far forgotten himself as to talk wildly
about state secrets and, above all, for a
French newspaper.

Mr. BLAINE is likely to lose his young
est and prettiest daughter, Miss Hattie,
in few months, one of the young diplo-
mats attached to foreign legation hav-
ing captured her heart, it is reported.
The Blaine girls have all married for
love and not for society or station. Mrs
Coppinger was not a beauty neither is
Mrs Damrosch. Their remarkable re-
sembleuce to their distinguished father
would have made them handsome men
but there is almost too much character
n it for female beauty.

For Mr. Blaine to Answer,

Mr.. Blaine has claimed that under the
first so-called protective tariff, that of
1889, the country was wonderfully pros
porous, that all departments Of business,
agricultural, manufacturing and COM
mercial, were exceedingly profitable.
This is not denied; but it should be
stated that the tariff of 1889 averaged
only eight and one-half per cent.
The nut for Mr.. Blaine to crack now
is this: If the country, in its rude, pio-
neer condition of one hundred years ago,
was wonderfully prosperous under an
eight and one-half per cent. tariff, why
could not the country, in its highly de-
veloped condition Of 1890, prosper under
an equally low tariff? After a century
Of the tariff are we less able than ever
to face the great world? Has q hundred
years training of the hand in cunning
made us less skillful? Has the opening
Of mines, the clearing Of fields, the devel-
opment of industry in a thousand differ
emit directions and to an extent never
before witnessed by man, made US less
able to cope with the world than our
great-grandfathers were? Do we reflect
much credit on our great-grandfathers?
Protection Has Killed the Manufacture of
Broadcloth.
There is not yard Of fine broadcloth
manufactured in the United States. The
industry has been protected" into its
grave. 1t flourished in the days of free
wool, and it was an American mill that
took the first prize at the Crystal Palace
exhibition in London in 1881. But now,
under our senseless policy of tyxing raw
material, it has vanished. SoEhe farmer
is deprived of a market for his work,
workmen find the market for their labor
curtailed just so much, the consumers
suffer, absolutely no one is benefited
and yet, protection is supposed to build
up home manufactured
