Some Facts About Wool.
Chairman Co. Com.

Last spring farmers who did not
sell prematurely got rs to PSI cents
for wool. The starting price was
but "a cents per pound.
The explanation given by the
largest wool buyers in Western
Maryland was that the heavy i'm
portations and low prices on foreign
wool had broken the price.
The shippers of foreign wool had
to pay ten to twelve cents per pound
at our custom houses before they
could offer their wool on the Amer
lean markets. They paid this duty
and yet unloaded enough wool to
reduce the price in America.
They therefore got only about II
cents per pound for their wool free
of duty.
In his recent speech in Ohio John
Sherman. who generally knows what
he is talking about, stated that the
Canadian farmers just across the
line were getting but sixteen cents
per pound for the same grade of
wool that sold in Ohio for twenty
eight cents per pound.
The truth about the matter is,
the largely increased production
made wool cheaper all over the
world, and While the price was but
slightly affected in this protected
country the drop was heavy every
where else.
Can the Democrat explain why it
is that wool is bringing nearly
double the price in protected Amer
lea that it brings in free trade Eng
land and in all other free trade
countries? Why is it worth twelve
cents per pound more in the United
States than it is in Canada?
Is there any possible explanation
other than the protective tariff?
If the foreign producer can pay
ten and twelve cents per pound for
the privilege of offering his wool on
the American market and then per-
sists in sending wool enough into
this country to break the price,
what would he do if the duty was
taken off entirely as was done by
the Mills bill?
The Democrats pretend to believe
that the way to increase the price of
wool in America is to take the duty
entirely off so that the hundreds of
millions of pounds of wool grown in
South America, in Australia, in
Canada and in all the rest of the
world, and now selling at ten to
fourteen cents per pound, could be
dumped on the American market
with the result, as they claim, of
making the price higher.
But do they believe it? If they
do the fool-killer has a big job on
hand and it is hoped that he will
attend strictly to business. But
they don't believe anything of the
sort. These Democratic lawyers
and editors masquerade as the farm
ers' friends because they want the
farmers votes and they talk free
wool because they regard the farm
ers as being so densely ignorant as

UNDER protection the tendency
of the prices of manufactured ar
ticles is downward. When Ameri-
lean manufacturers are protected
against foreign cheap capital and
and labor they build up their bust
ness, improve their facilities, and
competition brings prices down.
Under protection, the United States
has become the greatest manufac-
turing and agricultural country in
the world.

A Mud-Slinging Circular.

This office is in possession of re-
liable information that there is now
i'll course Of preparation a scurrilous
circular intended as an attack on a
candidate of the Republican party,
and that it is the purpose of the au-
thors Of this circular to have it dis
tributed among voters.
1t has been long time since such
nefarious methods have been resort
ed to in this locality. The last at
tempt Of this kind here was nine
years ago, when this Congressional
district was flooded with a like cir
cular rejecting on the character of
the Republicans candidate for Con-
gress.
We take this opportunity of in
forming our Republican voters of
the fact, so that they may be ready
for the coming of this paper, and
be able to treat it with the contempt
such a course of action deserves. -

The longer the Republican ticket

DEMOCRATIC candidates will be

they know that not one of them can

The Importance of polling the
full Republican vote at the ap-
preaching election cannot be over
estimated. The time has come
when the public interests demand a
change of local and general admin
istration and when that object may
be partially, if not fully, accom-
plished by united, earnest and en-
ergetic effort. Let every Republi-
can voter consider himself as spe-
cially charged with the duty of
helping to poll every Republican
vote in his vicinity, and some sur
prisingly gratifying results may be
the consequence. There should be
no supineneSs or Indifference on the
part of any Republican in this eff
fort to achieve good government.

Francis FEWER, is a Belgian glass
blower, who works for the Cohansey

Side Hotel on South Pearl street. A
tramp blower named John Simpkins,
came around and telling pitiful tale
aroused the sympathy Of FEWER, and
In consequence Simpkins, was ION vel
vet" to use slang expression, for the
time being. FEWER took Simpkins
home With him and gave him a good
dinner, and then took him to his room.
Now FEWER regrets 1t. Simpkins
took advantage of his hosts attention
in most despicahle manner. While
FEWER was out Of the room Simpkins
took off all bis old clothes, and left
them In the room.
He then hunted about the room,
took complete new set OF under
clothes, new suit of clothes, q pair
of shoes and an overcoat, in all valued
at $33. and walked off with them.
When FEWER found Tut how his friend
had treated him, be was mad all over.
He went before the Mayor and swore
out complaint against Simpkins. 1t
was thought the fellow had gone to
Winslow, and the telegraph wires
were burdened with dispatches, and
the man may be arrested, and held to
answer for his cool thieving.

STABBING AFFRAY.
Two ItaIians Have An Alteration
In Vineland.

vAssSAsSAASAs
Sunday night man was brought to
DR.. Sawyer's office, in Vineland, with
a knife wound in his back. The men
who accompanied the wounded man
had little to say and consequently
nothing could be learned until yester.
day morning when the whole story
came ont. 1t seems that a week ago
Saturday evening there was a celebra-
tion at the home of Tamasso, corner
East Boulevard and Walnut road, of
that borough. A little beer was
tapped for the occasion and although
the party had good time there was
some OF the stuff left over from the
feast. Sunday afternoon a party Of
friends gathered and regaled themsel-
yes on the ''remains" until many of
them became hilarious. Among the
crowd was Pasquale Noce, of Wheat
Road, and q man by the name of Bel
fatto. 1t is said Belfatto and Noce
had an old feud between them, and
after the beerwent in their wit went out
and the result was quarrel. Belfatto
drew knife and stabbed Noce in the
back and cut quite cash. The knife
however, struck rib. and thus the
mans life was not ended right there.
Belfatto made two lunges at Noce, but
the first blow was parried with the
hand. The only damage the first
blow did was to make flesh wound
on the hand. Tamasso's family are
said to be very peaceable people and
did not know OF the occurrence until
it was all over.

tered and Robbed.
Some daring thief did neat piece
of work Monday. In broad day
light, and In full view of the street,
somebody entered the residence of DR..
J. O. Appelgate and robbed the place.
The house is situated at the corner
OF Atlantic and Vine streets. Yester-
day morning about ten O'Clock, or
shortly after, DR.. Appelgate and his
wife went out together. Ayoung man
named Opedyke, lives there, and he
was given letter to mail, and in
structed to hasten and not leave the
house alone any length of time. The
young man hastened down town and
went right back. When he arrived
there, he found somebody had en-
tered the place and burglarizsd the
house.
An examination made by Officer
Campbell, who was immediately mott
fed, showed that there had been one
party who entered the residence. He
had affected an entrance by climbing
In side window, in full view of Allan
tic street. He had been able to reach
the window by standing upon a coal
chute which had been placed against
the house. The window had been
raised, and the room entered. Here
drawers we're pulled from stands, let.
ters had been opened and scattered
about a desk there. Then all the 9th
er rooms had been entered and the
contents sorted over and scattered
about the room.
Up stairs, even up in the attic the
bold thief went. In the attic, where
Opdyke rooms a pistol belonging tc
him had been stolen. Two gold rings,
and a few gold pieces, souvenirs from
the mint, we're also missing.
There is a great mystery about the
entire matter, and the thief mus1
have been rather particular. In the
first room he entered he pulled out q
drawer containing one dollar and 9
hail N money but he wouid not take
it. Then there was plenty of jewelry
upstairs that was not touched.
There are no suspicious concerning
the matter. A peddler was noticed In
the neighborhood about that time,
but the fact that so little was taken is
almost sufficient to release him from
suspicion. The police officers are
working on the case.
