Wool FaIsehoo,Is.

At last an Ohio Republican organ
has been found with termerity
enough to attempt an explanation
of the falling off of in the price of
American wool since the passage of
the Mckinley bill, which was war
ranted to put the price up. This
bold journal is the Cleveland Leader,
and it takes the bull by the horns
in a sweeping assertion that it's all
a Democratic lie; that the fall in
price is general all over the world,
and that the price of American wool
is proportionately higher than ever.
Only the Cleveland Leader would
attempt such an argument in the
face of facts and figures gathered by
Mr. Harrison's own representatives
abroad.
In the last number of Reports oil
Counsuls of the United States for
May, one of the reports is on the
subject of "Sheep and Wool in
Asiatic Turkey" another is on
"The Australian Wool Season OF
1S90-91." We advise the Leader to
carefully read these reports before
going further into the wool cam
paign.
These consulsexplain the decrease
- ,Io,,,o,,.E g.. Ob:o -, 4 IT,. n
and the consequent fall in price
which involves and explanation OF
the increased demand for foreign
wool and the consequent rise in price
Consul General Sweeney, ut Con-
stantinople speaks of "a large trade
with the. United States, wheretc
large quantities of WOOL are now
being shipped direct from the Pers-
ian Gulf"
But the Australasian season OF
1890 81, however, comes nearest and
most interests us. Consul Griffin
says that the wool sis remarkable
for its length of staple, density and
firmness, and is we'll adapted for
the use of American manufacturers. -
He explains why the price of Aus
trllian wool is higher than usual by
adding that "the wooden mills OF
New Zealand are always on the
lookout for this wool, and compete
sharply with American buyers for
it."
mo tariff yet invented says the
New York Ford, "will compel an
American manufacturer to pay IL
cents for Ohio wool that he CANT
use when wool that he can use
brings &c cents, plus duty and
charges. If he must have the costly
wool and cannot afford it ne will
shut up his mill, and then the
American raiser of the coarse wool
that mixes well with the finer grades
loses customer.
"The wool trade of Australia is
growing rapidly, while the McKin-
ley tariff is driving sheep out of our
pastures. In 1881 we consumed 49,
900 bales; in 1889 $1,000; in $780,
$4,000. The higher we build the
tariff wall the more the sheep that
climb over it."-Register.

ALL MEDICAL authorities agree
that catarrh is no more nor less
than an inflammation of the lining
membrane of the nasal air pas
sages. Nasal catarrh and all
catarrhal affections of the head are
not diseases of the blood, and it is
a serious mistake to treat them us
such. No conscientious physician
ever attempted to do so. 1t is held
by eminent medical men that sooner
or later specific will be found for
every disease from which humanity
suffers. The facts Justify us in as
suming that for catarrIl at least u
positive cure already exists in
