and make the farmers believe that the

consumer on all the WOODEN articles
they bought worked the other way and
instead of being n tax enhancing the
price of clothing, il reduced the price
hence it was necessary TO produce
some other argument and they fell
back on the idea of convincing the
grangers TINT the tariff they claimed
would be tax on the consumer OF
wooden goods was actually reducing
the price of wool and injuring the
farmer. This shows how hard they
were hit. 1t will be hard for them ia
convince intelligent voters that the
tariff works boih ways, taxes the con
sumner and reducing the price for the
producer. -Cheboyydh Tribune.

We clip the following article from
the National Tribune on the price Of
wool, which we consider rather timely
and 10 the point: Bet wool Is lower
In price this year than last for several
reasons, MS follows:
1. The past two winters have been
remarkably miId. and hence the de-
nand for wooden goods. and so of
wool. has been considerably reduced !;
the reduced demand. of course. had all
effect Ia reducing price.
2. Importers, in anticipation OF the
passaee of the Mckinley bill. Imported
very largely of WOODEN goods aud wool,
and these excessive imports have their
effect on price os wool now. These
will soon be exhausted, and then the
price of wool will improve.
3. But by far the greatest cause of
the decline In the price of wool Is the
fact TINT the price of foreign woods in
all the wool-growing countries has de-
clined in the last yenr from Is to 20
per cent. The wool circular of JUS
rice. Bateman & Co., of Philadelphia,
for July 1, 1891, says, on the authori-
~ of the Melbourne Argus, one of the
highest authorities on wool in Aus
tralia, that "the average price (of
wooD per bale, for the season just
closed (at Sydney, New South Wales,
principal markeD, was ELL SIS. 3D..
as against ETA 19s. 4d. for the previous
clip, thus showing a decline of f3 lis.
I'd. per bale from the price paid 20 the
Australian wool growers during the
previous season, a decline of 80 77-100
per cent. Another reliable authority
states that the average prices paid TO
the Australian wool growers for the
clip now being IN market in London
were over 90 per cent. lower than the
prices paid for the clip of the previous
year.
Here, then, is the chief cause of the
decline in the price of American woods
since last year. The Imports. espe-
cially from Australia, are largely more
this year than for corresponding peri
DDS last year, partly because of the in
creased demands in this country, and
parity because -uf the sleeiine ia tosiea
The demand has been increased. be-
cause the Mckinley law set many idle
wooden mills In operation. WOODEN
goods are being more largely manu-
featured here, and less are being i'm
ported. aud this il of course in the in
tere& of wool growers.
If it were not for our wool tariff
American woods would now sell for an
average of about seven cents per Id.
less than they are now selling for.
The duty is nominally IL cents on
clothing woods. but as Australia woods
shrink in securing only about 80 per
cent, while our unwashed Merino
woods s.lrunk about GO per cent, the
duty is in fact on the basis of our
woods, only the equivalent Of about
seven cents pr pound. The true
poiicy-ot-Asne-iesn farmers aud wool
growers is to stand by the Mckinley
law for the good it does and demand
an Improvement in it as soon as posi-
lie.

deal OF time to convince the farmer

such at the time by the republicans.

Lacy, comptroller of the currency, was this
morning called to the statement of Assist
ant Bank Examiner Jones, and he said he
was member of the assay commission
which met in Philadelphia on the 18th of
February. He took advantage of this visit
to meet the directors of the keystone bank
and to impress upon them the necessity of
keeping their reserve stronger and putting
the bank in more satisfactory condition
He made no examination but of such mat
to his attention were all that were embodied
in the examination. Drew's statement of
the 18th of February, which disclosed an
impairment of the capital but not insol-
vency. The Lucas defalcation of $500, 900
was, of course, known to him, because it
had been stated in Examiner Drews report
of January "A. but the same report stated
that the Lucas estate had conveyed to the
bank the banking house and seashore prop
erty which was estimated TO be worth more
than the amount Of the defalcation. II is
untrue that the comptroller said that he
called the sea gift and Spring Lake prop
erty worth 500, 900 or any other sum for
the reason that he had never seen il and
knew nothing whatever of its value except
what the examiner and directors had told
him. 1t is the examiners duty in such
cases. the comptroller says, to inform him
self fully as to the value of assets and re-
port TO the comptroller his estimate as i
basis for the latter's action.
