THE TARIFF.
How Republican Farmers are
Being Swindled.
To the Editor of the Northeast :

To the Editor Of the Northeast:
The Cleveland Leader is swirdling the Republic
can farmers of Ohio. 1t is lying to them deibera-
tely and in cold blood concerning the price of wool.
and any Republican farmer who will take the trouble
to write to the Republican Secretary OF the Treasury
at Washington get his official certificate to that
effect To break the force of my exposure Of its lp
ing about the price of imported secured wool and
the quotation from the Home Market Clubs pamph-
let to the woolen manufacturers, it fays:
The truth is the average price of the clothing and
combing wool imported into this country was but
little more than half what he states. The official
figures given In the statistical abstract compiled
b9 the Treasury Bureau of Stactics, show that 16,-
6i9O0 pounds of clothing wool, valued at 81 $685.
$40, were imported during 1890, The average price
of the clothing woods mported was accordingly 23.4
cents o pound, and of combing wools, 2l.9 cents.
large proportion OF this wool was secured and was
accordingly higher, Just as Ohio wool increases in
price when similarly treated.
This is "a falsehood told with intent to deceive
and to delude" and the proof is easy and complete
There should be no Republican in Ohio so bigoted
that it will ngt convince him of the swinnle for it is

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our egular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27, 1891

w VASh1N"1ONf aug S'I AOOA"
The National Association of demo-
cratic clubs launch decided political
novelty on the 18th of September, when
a start from Washington on forty days
missionary tour. The car will go direct
to Chicago and from there to st. Paul
and Minneapolis, where special meet.
ings will be addressed by the speakers
who will compose the crew of mission
aries; from there it will go by easy
stages along the Northern Pacific rail-
way, stopping at all important points to
allow the educational work to be done.
The car will be due at Spokane Falls on
the %, of September, upon which date a
convention of the democratic clubs will
be in session there, and grand recep-
ton will be held.
The journey will then be continued
around Puget Sound in Oregon; thence
through California, Utah and Colorado,
and returning to Iowa about the time
the State campaign has reached its
warmest period. There the missionar-
les are to take off their coats and take a
hand in re-electlng Governor Boise.
The car will be in charge of Mr.. Law
renee Gardner, Secretary of the Asso-
citation, and among those who have al
ready volunteered as working mission
aries are Senator Kenna, Representa-
tive Byhum, ex-Representative Nc
Adoo and Honorable Chauncey F.
Black president of the Association. A
number of prominent democrats have
the invitation under consideration and
if they can 80 arrange their business
affairs will also become missionaries
for the dissemination of sound demo-
cratic doctrine. Some of them who
cannot spare the entire forty days may
join the party temporarily either COM
ing or going or both. Success to the
idea and to the missionaries.
Secretary Foster, who has returned
to Washington, is very much put out
because of the publication Of the fac
that the continuation of the maturing q.
per cent. bonds at 2 per cent. Is alread J
practically failure. Less than $40,
00O, 900 of the S51 .000, 900 of these bonds
outstanding when the offer was mad'
have been presented for continuance
and only two weeks remain in which
they may be continued. What remains
out after that time must be redeemed
| and that is what is worrying the astut'
Secretary of the Treasury. If any larg
amount, of the bonds are to be re
deemed and 1t seems certain now tina

Totals. .S43, ,469,516
S3b.l33.243

Compare this official report of the truth with what
the Leader says. For the twelve years II names we
mported more gold than we exported. Every grain
of the gold produced In California not only remained
in the country, but during these twelve years Of
democratic free trade'' accumulated 49, 29l ,527
of foreign gold. For utterly reckless ying-lyinR
which any reader can discover who turns 10 an
almanac-the Leader stands pre-eminent.
Our coinage of gold for the twelve years was 1882,
900 900 according 10 the Mint report page &c., and
our total gold coinage from 1893 to 1919 had been
only O00 of which 500 900 had been coined
in 1s47 alone. AS for the red-dog bonk.not s. with
which Senator Sherman laid the foundation of his
fortune the less the Leader calls them to the mind
its Ohio readers the wiser 1t will be and the better
it will please him. 1t should conne its fabricaticns
to quotations of II price Of wool from the East
African Gazette and Poynesian Transcript, publish
ed it alone knews where, and far enough away for
their contradiction moi to reach Ohio until after

The we'll is one and quarter miles east
OF Stanwood, on the high land, nearly $50
feet above sea level. Its owner, o. w.
Cotton, began digging it last June, but
abandoned 1t several times because Of gas
or firedamp. He succeeded in reaching an
abundance Of good water at a depth Of
ninty feet from the surface last October,
having passed through successive layers
OF clay, sand, and some kind of stratified
rock. About eighty feet below the sur
face he found a sprinkling of anthracite
coal, and still further down large quanti-
ties OF loose specimens Of volcanic stones
of several kinds, many OF which have the
appearance of having been melted and run
together

kind Of gas with considerable force, and at
irregular periods of time, varying from
five days to sixteen hours duration 1t
would reverse the operation and begin to
draw in the air with equal force, the in
halation lasting about as long time as the
exhalations. Shortly after the gas disap-
peared, but the respiration Of air con-
tinued with increasing force until at tho
present time it has sufficient force todrive
a large windmill. Not long since Mr. Col
tom went down into the we'll and discov-
cred that air was being drawn in and
blown out at point fifteen feet from the
bottom Of the we'll. 1t Is supposed that
there must be a largo cavern at dis
TANGO from the well, and the air comes
through a small passage leading from the
cavern to the we'll. No cavern or passage
has yet been found, as the we'll Is walled
up, and the air comes through the rocks
in the wall.-Chicago Evening Journal.
