Mr.. Fassett must think "it never rains
but it pours." Scarcely warm in his
seat as collector of the port of New
York, a fine plum much coveted, he is
taken up by the Republicans of his
State and made their nominee for gov
ernor, without any effort on his part,
chosen on the first ballot over able men
who were avowed candidates and had
been working for the nomination.
Mr.. Fasset is a young man, one of the
youngest ever named by any party for
the chief magistracy of q State. To be
chosen for the first place in the greatest
State in the Union, by a party which
has chance to elect him, is indeed a
conspicuous honor.
As State senator and rs ono of the
leaders of his party, Mr.. Fassett has
shown himself worthy of the houor. As
collector Of New York his tenure Of
office has been too short to permit him
to make much of record, but his firm
refusal to allow the son OF the President
to run over him on recent occasion
was an indication that he would mako a
collector Of whom his party would have
no need to be ashamed.
The nominee is highly educated
man, one of the best of New York s
politicians, of irreproachable character
and would enter upon tho duties of his
Office rs well equipped rs any man in
his State. The nomination soems to
have been an inspiration.
All the elements OF tho Republican
party in New York have united on Mr..
Fassett and will pull together for his
election. Tho nomination has q bear
ing on the national campaign of 1902
not to be overlooked.

The anechoto given in your issue OF

experience OF Democratic farmer OF
this place. This man, usually fore
handed with his business, not given to
reading the papers, whose political doc
trine is to believe all the Democratic
teachers say, and to plump it straight
for the Democratic nominee every cleo
tion day, had last fall been stuffed full
Of high Mckinley prices. Thinking hu
would be ahead in one thing, at least,
he laid in supply OF binding Irvine,
for which he paid II cents per pound,
wholesale, for medium grade article.
The harvest of this year being about
over he brought his wife to town to get
supplies for threshing. At Same time
he brought a load of corn which he sold
for 20 cents per bushel. He

Of binding twine Tor late harvest he was

THE WOOL TARIFF.
Eject OF the Mckinley Law on Wool and
Wool Prices,

Effect OF the Mckinley Law on Wool and
Wool Prices.
american EeoHomid.
Below is letter received from Mr..
Theodore Justice, member Of the well
known wool commission firm of Phila-
delphia, which should he read by every
farmer in the land. 1t comes from a
man who knows whereof he speaks,
and gives the salient points OF the wool
situation. He says:
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. &c, 1891.
We are looking for big things for
trade, as the result OF the Big crops and
the Mckinley bill. The latter is work
ing well, causing to be used 100000
pounds Of wool per month more than
was ever used before in America. Most
OF this increase is American wool.
The Wisconsin washed merino fleeces
can be sold i'll Philadelphia at % cents,
as against 80 and 81 cents last year.
Ohio woods sell at 80 and 80 cents, us
against 80 and 81 cents last year. This
is because Australian wool is off over 20
per cent below its cost in Australia for
the previous year. The Mckinley bill
cannot affect the prices OF wool in the
markets OF theworld, but it saved the
American farmer from having TO take
the full decline that took place else
where.
The best object lesson in wool may be
seen by the following illustration. A
Pennsylvania farmer, Democrat,
bought some Shropshire lambs in Cana
da. When they were twins he took
one ana left one. The lambs that came
to Pennsylvania were shorn unwashed,
and we sold the wool ut 80 cents early
in the season. The lambs left in Canada
were washed, ut IS cents. This Demo-
crat, having full knowledge OF the facts,
says he is a Free-Trader as a general
thing, but he believes in the Mckinley
bill for wool. Yours truly,
THEODORE JUSTICE.
We add statement made by the firm
Of which Mr.. Justice is member, JUS
tice, Batcman & Co., in a circular issued
by them on July /. 1t is this:
The Ohio and Michigan old fine woods
that are offered in Boston and Philadel-
pllia at IS cents would not sell on the
London market at over 16 cents.
How would American farmers like
such a free trade price for their wool?

Nobody needs to be told that this over

the result OF wire-pulling.

The Country and the worlds Fall

The Country and the Worlds Fair
A strong plea is made on behalf OF the
Worlds Fair for n Government advance
of $1,000 600 to insure the success Of the
undertaking on scale commensurate
with its importance and with the great
people who have undertaken il.
This is not Chicago's affair, although
Chicago stands good for sl0,oOO,O00 to
make it go. 1t is not ChicaSo's appeal
which Congress is asked to listen to; it
is tho recommendation Of the National
Commission. 1t is not gift that is
asked, but loan, yet this great country
can well afford to take its chances on
getting backall or any part of the money.
The 100000 people who make up
the United States OF America can afford
to contribute SO much as may be neces-
sary to carry out in full the plans ma
tured for the exhibition. What they
cannot afford, as a matter Of business
and Of patriotic pride, is to let the
Worlds Fair fall short In any feature
for want OF money.
The Centennial Exposition was Of i'm
mense benefit to the whole country.
Very much Of our advance on certain
industrial lines is directly traceable to
that wonderful bringing together OF
products and people. 1t was a great
peoples university in which the dullest
learned something of practical value.
Congress advanced money to that, and
there is not an intelligent person who
now regrets what Congress did.
So it will be with the Worlds Fair.
That will be as far ahead of the Cen
tennial Exposition. as that was ahead Of
anything the country had seen up to
that time. After it shall have closed
there will be no regrets because Of any
wise liberality on the part of Congress.
1t is a grand opportunity; let 1t be
grandly embraced. We are no nation
of paupers.
