WOOL AND THE TARIFF.

Just now the Democratic press is
striving to raise great hubbub over the
price of wool. Wool is lower in price
than last year, and these writers charge
it to the Mckinley bill. They claim
that the high tariff has brought down
the price of wool, and the consistency
of this claim we will examine. For
twenty years the Democratic stereotyp-
ed cry has been "the tariff is tax" and
that the amount of the tariff is just so
much added to the cost of the article to
the consumer. Now if this is the case
wool should be higher this year than
last. Under the circumstances the Dem
ocrats must swallow their cry about the
tariff increasing the cost to the consum-
er OF else admit that the decline in the
price of wool is not due to the McKin-
ley bill. In either event they are in a
hole, and must acknowledge themselves
wrong in order to get out.
The facts of the situation are that all
woods are lower this year than last. This
includes Australian, and South Ameri-
can woods, and all others, and the de-
cline in the price of these is certainly
not due to the Mckinley tariff. Certain
conditions of demand prevailing the
world over have conspired to reduce the
prices, and it is a notable fact that
American woods have suffered proper
tionally less reduction in prices than
the others. Had there been no change
in the tariff there would have been de-
cline in price due to these conditions
which are outside of the tariff, and
which no tariff can completely remedy.
There are other conditions to which a
part of the decline is attributable. There
were immense quantities of foreign
wool imported just prior to the taking
effect of the Mckinley bill. These
stocks are to some extent still in the
hands of manufacturers, thus lessening
the demand the domestic fleece. A
method which is now being pursued
also curtails the demand. Manufactur-
ers buy cheap Western woods and mix
them with high class imported woods,
producing a grade equal to Ohio wool,
and at less cost than heretofore paid for
Ohio wool. The tariff now being about
one cent greater than last year, had the
same external conditions prevailed, do
mestic fleeces would have been salable
at an advance over last year. Or with
the same external conditions as now
prevail, and the tariff being unchanged,
wool would be lower than it now is.
Taking into consideration all the condi-
tions the utter falsity of the Democratic
claim is apparent.
Still there is another view of the out
look. The stock in the hands of manu-
facturers is running low, and in the
opinion of the best authorities on wool,
the price of Ohio grades must soon go
up. Then what kind of cry will our
Democratic friends raise?

THERE seems to be little doubt that
Senator Quay will resign the chairman
ship of the Republican National Com
mittee at its next meeting. This step
is demanded by large section of the
party, which is dissatisfied with the
course taken by Mr.. Quay under the
charges made against him. While it
is true that as political organizer, Mr..
Quay has proven himself extraordinarily
sagacious, and while the place vacated
by his resignation will be hard to fill,
yet in the interest of harmony he should
be allowed to retire.

DRIVEN TO THE WALL.

1t is rumored In Washington that Mr..
Harrison has at last concluded that it is
time to ask for Green B. Raum's resignation.
We do not know If the rumor is true OF
not, but it ought to be. Raum's official re,
ports leave no room for doubt in any honest
mind that his management of the Pension
Office has been scandalous. The figures of
his report indicate beyond question that he
has permitted, If he has not actively aided,
gigantic raid upon the Treasury by dis.
honest pension agents and fraudulent pre-
tenders, to the hurt Of every honest man en-.
titled TO pension.
His personal conduct while In office has
been so shameful that even the subservience
of the Fifty first Congress could not induce
vote Of exculpation upon the report Of a
partisan committee whose majority made
themselves Raum's pettifogging attorneys
for the defense, instead of his judges.
or course the Fifty-second Congress will
investigate the misconduct of the Pension
Office whether Raum goes out or stays in.
But 1t will at least spare Mr.. Harrison some
of the humiliation, which investigation and
exposure are sure to bring, if he removes the
discredited official even at this late day.

The New York Recorder of Monday pub
lished q statement on the authority of one
Ralph w. Wilkinson, who is called "a prom
inent Ohio politician and Democrat" to the
effect that Governor Campbell, of Ohio, is
$500, 1000 in debt, and that the Governor lost
the money in stock gambling. Wilkinson
also declared that Mr.. Campbell owes Hon.
Calvin S. Brice, Chairman of the Demo
cratic National Committee, 100000. The
publication has ELECTED Q prompt and en-
phatic denial from Gov. Campbell, who says
he has never heard of the alleged Ralph w.
wilkinson, and be declares his entire story
without foundation. The Governor has tele-
graphed his attorney in New York to de.
snand of the Recorder an immediate and en-
phatic retraction of the publication on PEN
.alty of prosecution. He has also demanded
a retr4ction from the Cincinnati Commercial
Gdsette for the publication of the Recorder's
story, and he is also cunning for the cor
of the Philadelphia Press, New
York Press and the Detroit Tribune, who
furnished the story published by them re-
garding the Governors financial transac-
lions. Mr.. Brice says be never knew any
