The Good Work Which Democrats in the
House Are Doing.

The Good Work Which Democrats IN the
House Are Doing.
The woolen schedule is recognized as
the keystone in the arch of protection.
The duties on cloth and clothing are
more iniquitous than anything else in the
list. But the sly gentlemen who con
structed the tariff threw dust in the eyes
of the consumers by imposing extraordi-
nary duties on wool, pleading this as a.
compensation to the farmer for the taxes
he must pay on carpets, blankets and
clothes.
This arrangement resulted in securing
a support from the wool growers, and
this support has been so effectively par
AIDED at critical moments that it has fire.
ouently intimidated the Democrats. Es-
pecially in Ohio the tax on wool has
been used by the Republicans, with good
effect, as an all sufficient excuse for the
whole list Of iniquities contained in the
wool schedule. This duty on wool is
chiefly responsible for the timidity and
divisions which for so many years char
acterized the Democracy in Ohio.
But the work of Mr.. Hurd, of Gov
ernor Campbell, of Mr.. Harter and a lit
tie band of tariff reformers has borne
excellent fruit, and now the Democrats
of Ohio are as earnest and Jealous for
tariff reform as are the Democrats Of
any other state in the Union.
The proposition to put wool on the
free list was genuine test of the Demo,
cratic party's earnestness and sincerity.
The vote ON it shows wonderful progress
in the right direction. Only little
while ago Democratic house refused
even to consider bill reducing the tariff
10 per cent, yet now, with two excep
tions, Democrats unanimously vote tx
put wool on the free list, and reduce thu
tax on manufactured woolens nearl.
one-half.
But the good work did not end here
With like unanimity Democrats vote'
to place cotton ties and cotton baggint
on the free list. The price of cotton i
fixed in q free trade market. The crol
pays large part Of our annual debt t.
Europe. In foreign markets it compete
with the pauper labor of the world. T
encourage the cotton planters, now Il
deep distress, the Democrats of congres
propose to relieve them from all unnee
essary burdens of taxation, and woul
permit them to buy ties and baggin
wherever they can get them cheapest.
Further, the ways and means commit
tee has reported in favor of reductio
of the tin plate duty to revenue basis
: This is relief to the canning interest
chiefly, but it will be felt in every kitche
Of the land. The tin plate duty, as fixe

able to bear it, and the proposition

HON. CLAUDE MATTHEW'S.

eight years ago, but when he was
young man removed to Vermilion coun-
ty, Ind, where he soon became known
as a successful farmer, loyal friend
and a man of the most scrupulous in
tegrity. Indianians are nothing if not
shrewd political observers, and it was
not long before Mr.. Matthews ability
and availability as political leader
were recognized. He has served in the
lower branch of the state legislature,
and in 1890 was elected auditor. Mr..
Matthews is q man of the lnost liberal
ideas, and it is expected, and in a meas
ure admitted even by the Republicans,
that he will be elected governor of In
diana by an enormous majority. He
still lives in Vermilion county, in the
beautiful Wabash valley, and while he
is by no means rich man he is very
prosperous one.

Shortly before his last illness Mr.. Spur
geon received from some Americans the
tempting offer of $4,000 down for twenty
five lectures in the states. He was also to
be free to lecture as many other nights as
he pleased. Mr.. Spurgeon calculated that
at this rate he could have made there in
hundred nights 100000, and in year $780,

the money offered 100 times he must de-

Russell HARRISON was terribly
shocked when he was presented with
$4,000 worth ofstock in the Yellowstone
park company, so much so, in fact,
that he forgot to decline receiving the
stock or to return it. The shock was too
much for his conscience; it muddled
his ideas of right and wrong to such an
extent that he actually aided the COM
pany to get privileges from the Interior
department.

Dust in Mountain Air.

The observers on the top of Ben Nevis
have added to their other work the meas
urement of the amount of dust in the at
mosphere at all times of the year. They
find that in the spring the atmosphere has
the greatest amount of dust floating in it,
and in the summer months the least. This
may he one reason why many delicate peo-
pie find the breathing of the spring atmos-
phere so trying. On the whole, it is evi'
dent that the value of the materials col
lected at Ben Nevis is ever increasing. -

A Force Bill Combination.

The Republican extremists talk of run
ming in Whitelaw Reid as candidate
for vice president On the ticket with Mr.
Harrison, because Mr.. Morton would
not violate the rules of the senate last
year to secure the passage Of the force
bill. The Washington correspondent of
the New York World says that Harrison
will make the force bill o leading issue
in the presidential campaign, and that
he would like to have Mr.. Reio on the
ticket with him as a good second. But
this arrangement would not work well
as the brains of the administration, if
the Harrison-Reid ticket should by any
chance be elected, would be in the tail
rather than in the head of the ticket.
The people of the south will please make
note of it that the force bill will be
passed if the Republicans shall win in
November. They will also please make
a note of it that any more fooling with
free silver will elect the Republican
ticket.-Charleston News and Courier.
