OUR INDUSTRY.

Our wool industry as IA whole, chirps
the Leader, sis the direct product of pro.
lection" If this is so it is certainly a
very doubtful compliment to protection.
But the statement will not bear the light
Of truth. Our wool industry is not the
direct product of protection, as protcc-
ton is defined by the Irotcctionist. Wool
was unprotected from 1889 10 1924. II
was admitted free of duty under the
Hamilton tariff and under the Calhoun
tariff. II was fairfield under the Clay
tariff Of 1871. The duty was increased
by the so called tariff of abominations'
in 1928: reduced 10y the compromise tar
III Of lsE}; raised again by the viii tariff
o. 1912: reduced by the Walker tariff Of
lSl;; then gradually raised until 1864, by
the NprrcIl tariff of 1861. Since then the
duties have been successfully lowered
and raised UP to the passage 81 The Me
Kinlcy bill.
During all this time that is since 1889
the wool industry has prospcrcd right
along without apparently being seriously
retarded by high or low tariffs until the
Mckinley monstrociiy was fired into it.
1t is now in "A decidedly sickIy condition.
This would not be the case if the real
protection stuff as applied by the Me
kinlcy tariff were Just what is claimed
for it by protcctionists Of the Leader cal
ibrc. Never in the history of wool grow
ing in the west was the wool market in
such Il dcmoralizcd condition as it is at
present. For this reason we say the
Leaders statement that Our wool in
dustry is the direct product Of protcc-
ton is IA yer, doubtful compliment to
protection.
Now let us 50" what the Mckinley tariff
for wool. II lcvi"s Il duty of II
cents per pound on wools Of the first
class and T. crntsuu woods Of tn" second
Woods Of the third class worth T.
or less per pound pay 81, cents;
and if worth over t. cents they
l"' ''h'9 'lA H"I poui'.
These duties are ON unwashcd
woods. Washed wouls. that is wool
washed ON the Sleeps back, Of the first
and third CLASSES pay twice the duty ON
unwHshrd woods of these classes. and the
duty on secured woods of all Glasses must
pay three times the rates on unWashcd
woods Of these classes. These duties are
practically pr%uhibitOry. For instance,
secured woods Of the first class
pay IA duty Of @3 cents per pound
ami 81 cents per pound ON second class.
Now. if there is anything in protection
nome grown wouIs ought to jump up in
pric" and find Il ready market. With
such duties levied upon for
ign woods it would appear to the care
observer that American wool grow
rs have about as good Il thing as they
want But they haven't. They lack Il
deal Of it. Now what is the mat
rr: II is just this. The Mckinley
ariiT shuts out that class Of foreign
T"own woods which is wanted by manu-
actur"rs to mix with home productions
II order to manufacture salablc woolcns. ,
hats what's the matter. That is what
does for our wool industry. ;
md that is why our wool market is
bout as low as it can get by land. ,

To our streets cleansing which Tor seVerm
weeks they had needed badly.
We depend for STRENGTHENING TOO mucn
upon nature and too little upon our own
labor. After heavy rain our thorough
fares are in beautiful order. When, how
ever, rain fails us they become quite dirty.
There is probably little if any damage done
10 public health-it is not enough OF
nuisance for that-but ii Is discreditaole
10 our enterprise and gives strangers q oau

Main and Broad streets certainly ought
TO be kept freer Of dust or mud, paper ana
ashes.
The present STRENGTHENING force is
good but small one, and to help 1t there Is
but one street-sweeping machine and this
is old and worn. 1t is proposed to buy q
new one out of this years appropriations.
We wish two could be bought instead OF
one. Indeed, we need more than two, ana
more laborers than we now employ. we
do not sufficiently assist nature IN cleaning
our streets. If we did we would have
rain or no rain-one of the very neatest-
looking cities in the country.
Our alleys also need much attention. TO
accomplish what is wanted larger sppro-
priations will be required. The street
cleaning department (the Board of Healthy
is too much stinted. Give it little more
money and not only Main and Broad, but
all the streets will be better attended to.

Colorado LeQslative Trouble.

A telegram from Colorado says that the
Judges of the Supreme Court of that State
declare they have no jurisdiction in the case
OF the legislative trouble now disturbing
the people there. The States Attorney
General has given an opinion to the same
effect. The Supreme Court and the At
torney-General are right. Thethree depart
ments of the State government should be
kept separate and distinct" This is one
of the foundation-stones of republican
government. Another is that every legis-
lative body has the right to judge Of the
elections, qualifications, and returns of its
own members. Whenever the courts in
wade this territory the people should teach
them to know their place.

that he will keep his own counsel. No
