full concert. Where everything was
meritorious, it would be invidious

Weakness OF Some Object Lessons.

Directions for object lessons often resem-
bic lesson on butterfly that heard given
by kindergart ner. With a single butter
fly held in her hand she led the children to
speak of its flying in the sunshine, slipping
food from flowers, living through the sum-
mer and of the beauty of its colors. Not a
word was said Of the three parts of the
body, the two pairs of wings, the six legs,
the antenne and the tube through which
it sips food-all of which and more the
children could easily have been led to see.
Doubtless the teacher thought the chill
dren had had 3 beautiful lesson; but had
they received anything at alll Although
city children, they spent the summer in
the country-they had all seen and prob

More About Free Wool.

Chicago Tribune.
A Galesburg correspondent doubts the
correctness of an assertion Of this paper
that the free admission of the mixing
weols would increase the demand for and
add to the price of American WOODS.
A few facts taken from the census re-
port of 1890 on the wooden msDuf actures
of this country may induce him to change
his opinion. There were used in the cen,
sus year in the manufacture of woelen
goods OF all kinds els ,001 ,S13 pounds of
secured wool. There were also used
1853. 955 93S pounds of other materials
being cotton, shoddy, animals hair, mo-
hair, etc. 1t appears, therefore, that the
woolens and worsttds, carpets, etc, made
in 1890 were 81 per cent wool and 43 per
cent something else. OF the wool used
one-third was imported. In 1880 the
wooden goods were Ga per cent wool and
36 per cent adulterants. OF the wool
used only one quarter was imported.
1t follows then that the result of 10
years of duties on foreign woods was tc
lessen the percentage of wool used and
to increase the percentage of wool I'm
ported. The production OF American
wool increased very slightly. There
Wds NJ OUJcCb Ill ihioiuS uOIc, IOT LHtTe
was no demand for it. There was no
demand because the woods to mix with it
could not be imported unless consumers
would consent TO pay high prices for the
goods. Consumption determines pros
duction in the long run, and as woolens
90 up the demand for wool goes down.
The Galesburg correspondent may
claim that the trouble is not that there
are duties on wool, but that they are too
low. Surprising that they were thrice
what they are, and the importation of
foreign wool practically prohibited. Still
Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1892-04-01

the Americt wool-growers would not be
benefited, and the production OF wool in
this country would not increase materi-
ally. But that Of shoddy would, and so
would the consumption of cotton for
mixing purposes. Cannot the cores
pondent see that cotton is more danger
Gus, because a cheaper rival, than the
foreign woods he breads? The use of cot
ton in the woolen>mills increased so per
cent in the 10 years from 1870 TO 1880.
Cotton cons tituted one-fifth of the wool-
ems made two years ago. Ii the wool
duties are left as they are the next census
will show one-tbird cotton, one-thiId
shoddy and one>third wool. and the price
of American wool will be less than 1t is
now.
Shoddy is cheaper than some kinds OF
wool ard de- rer than others. Let in the
cheap foreign vools and there will be
less shoddy and cotton used-not less
American wool. There will be greater
demand for wool on the part of American
duce more, for production increases with
the demand.
At present American wooden fabrics
are 43 per cent adulterants, 10 per cent
foreign wool, and 80 per cent American
wool. That is the result Of about &c
years of wool duties. Is it not time to
try another tack and eEdeavor to increase
the per cen,age OF domestic wool which
the present system is reducing? The
correspondent fears that the price of the
tier will fall if the duties are rem owed
But the duties have failed to raise OF
keep up the price. They have forced the
substitution OF adulteranis. Foreign
woods do not compete with so much as
supplement American woods. Their free
admission would enable great quanti'
ties Of domestic t1eeces to be used and an
advance in their price would follow inev.
itab'y.
