Republican Carpet Prices.
DIE DREIBUND.

New York Press: Carpet prices for
the coming year were issued to the
trade yesterday by the firm at Yon-
ke.:s doing the largest carpet business
in the United States. The prices are
the lowest ever known. The Mckinley
bill, which has been in operation four
teen months, increased the duties on
carpets about 25 per cent.
The tariff reformers were surer OF
nothing than that prices of carpets
would be enhanced Republican legisla-
ton. The public were assured, almost
with tears, that carpets, as one of the
necessities OF life, would be materially
advanced, owing to the increased cost
of carpet woods, and for other reas-
ons, and pathetic pictures of the poor
man walking on bare floors and of his
children catching the pneumonia from
exposure were rehearsed on every
stump.
We commend the manufacturer
schedules, as they have now been pub
lished for the information of the trade,
to these "birds of i'll omen." Protec-
ton has had the effect it was expected
| to have. 1t has SO stimulated Ameri-
can competition that prices have
fallen. The proof of it is that while
American mills have reduced their
prices from 10 to 20 per cent the En-
glish manufacturers have put theirs
down from 20 to 80 per cent for the
American market. There is no ques-
rion, we presume, who pays the tariff
in this case. The English manufac-
| turers do.
No doubt we shall now hear that
American manufacturers are being
robbed and ruined by the tariff, that
'raw materials" are SO high and prices
so low that they cannot live. In
other words, the manufacturers who
were described by our free trade con-
temporaries one year ago as "robbers
will now become objects of sympathy
to them. They will be urged to vote
for free trade SO that prices may be
put up.
Fierce competition is sometimes try
ing, and the profits of competitors
often small, but the Press hopes that
carpets, by becoming cheaper, will also
become less q luxury and will cover
: many floors now bare. II so the pres
! ent overstock will soon disappear II
: the meantime the people of the coun
| try see-and, what is better, theil
pockets feel-protection as it is, moi
as it was pictured. They see every
free trade falsehood of a year ago ex
7 posed, every protection prophecy ful
filled.

sunol Arrives in New York.
New York Press.1


Although Sunol has been Robert
Bonner's property and pride for many
months, he first looked upon her as
she walked out of the express train at
the Grand Central depot at 8 o'clock
yesterday morning. Charles Marvin,
who guided the mare in her phenome-
nal performances, led her out OF the
car. Heguarded her we'll and never
let her out of his sight until she was
safely uuartered in Mr.. Bonuer's Q
stable. When he heard of the message
Wednesday night to the effect that
Sunol was lame and that she would
probably never be able to trot fast
again he was indignant. So was Mr..
Bonner and together they gave it the
strongest kind of denial. The mare
was led up and down thestable, sound
in every limb, and by her clean, Level
action showed her as good as the day
she was foaled.
In color Sunol is a rich bay, with
black points and black name and tai
AN ideal equine beauty. She stands

hindquarters and weighs at present

A Democratic Estimate.

New York World: The tone of Pres
ident Harrison's message is very much
less partisan than some of his former
communications to congress have
been. Indeed, there is little to find
fault with and much to praise in this
respect. 1t is an adroit and dispas-
sionate presentation OF the policy of
the administration. They who credit
Mr.. Harrison with small ability as
president or a politician are mistaken
in their estimate. The Republican
party has very few abler men than
Benjamin Harrison.

Monte Baxter and Peter Fleming,
employed by Mr.. Morrison in hauling
hay on his contract to NJ. P. Jones,
have lately completed their jobs. Both
these young men are great workers,
and believe in earning fair margin for
their employer, as well as their own
wages.
A stalwart son from the land of vi
kings, who does the heavy liftingin Mr..
Morrison's gang, sometime ago invest
ed the proceeds OF a months wages in
q festive broncho. But when the new
owner endeavored to put on the bride
his bronchoship strenuously objected.
Finding all attempts futile to adjust
the said bridle-as luck would have it
"a cowboy happened to pass along.
When asked if he could perform the
feat, he replied that he guessed he
could" A rope was fixed according to
the old rules, the steed made a few
frantic maneuvers, at last became do
cile and finally lay down. There was
now no difficulty in putting on the
bride, for it was found that the spirit
had fled to that bourne whittier all

his owner a somewhat poorer, but
wiser man.
Not wishing to impose too much on

however, that this, our first letter,

James Pyle, mayor OF the city of
Rocky Point, and the prosperous

"Uncle Jimmy" 1.-THE familiar cogno-
men under which he is known to ALL
is one of the princes of good fellows it
does ones heart good to meet with
once in awhile. Being accommodating
and obliging he is ever ready to enter
tain his visitors, no matter whether
they are millionaires or scant in this
worlds lucre. His bachelor mansion
is open to everybody and no questions
are asked. The exquisite solos rem
dered on his violin always finds appre-
ciative listeners. Among his special
ties is ''Home, Sweet Home" that will
awaken tender recollections in the
most hardened. He is likewise a wor-
thy idisciple of Terpsichore, and will
occasionally entertain the guests with
some non plus ultra feats of the eight
bombastic toe," that would do credit
to any young man. At these perfor-
mances Citizen Paul-le-vous generally
wields the bow. AS general manager
of the Rocky Point Townsite company
Uncle Jimmy has experienced some
what of collapse in real estate OF
late. Not daunted, however, he has
put the land to good use otherwise,
for last summer well cultivated gardens
could be discerned in almost every di-

gardens are, even at this advanced
part OF the year, appeasing the epicur-

Every year every local paper gives
from 100 to 5000 free lines for the sole
benefit of the community i'll which it Is
located. No other agency can or will do
this The local editor in proportion to
his means does more for his town than
any other ten men, and in all fairness,
man with man, lie ought to be support
ed, not because you may happen to like
him or admire his writing, but because
local paper is the best investment a
community can make.
1t may not be brilliant or crowded
with great thoughts, but financially it is
more of a benefit to u community than
the preacher or teacher. Understand us,
now; we do not mean morally or intel
lectually, but financially, and yet on the
moral question you will find the major
ity of the local papers are on the right
side of the question. Today the editors
of local papers do the most work for the

Any color can be matched for stockings,

An exchange says: A perfect town is
that in which you see the farmer patron;
izing the home merchants, the laborers
spending the money they earn with their
own tradesmen, and all animated by q
spirit that will not purchase articles
abroad if they can be bought at home
The spirit Of reciprocity between man
and the mechanic, tradesman and la
borer, farmer and manufacturer results
every time in making the town Il perfect
one to do business in. Perfection
should always be desired, even where at
tainment is barely possible, we presume
but perfect town must be denominated
a great rarity until we reach more ad
vanced stage toward the m anium
than has yet been gained.
