Average fall in the price Of American woods,
72s per cent. advance.
From these tables we see that where
as the price Of foreign wool declined on
the average q per cent. in these two
and one half years, the average decline
in the price of American wool was only
2-3 per cent. We also see that while
there was uniform fall in foreign wool
prices, American prices increased in
several instances. In other words, had
it not been for the Mckinley duties the
price of American wool would have de-
clined three times as much as it has
done; for it was nothing but those
duties which prevented our wool from
taking its chance in the worlds market
and having its price fixed by the
world supply-at present abnormally
large, owing to great increase in pro-
duction. In view of this fact the free
wool bill passed by the Democratic
Congress is nothing but direct blow
aimed at the prosperity of the Ameri-
can wool grower, and is another evil
dence Of free trade hostility to the
American farming population.

Questions for Free Traders,

If protection does not increase wages,
why are the wages of silk workers in
England 80 per cent. lower than they
were in 1860, while wages of American
silk workers have all the time adj
Vanced?
If it is "monopoIistic," why are the
greatest monopolists in the country ar
rayed against Harrison and III favor of
Cleveland
If the free trade editors are not all
convicted falsifers, why does not sin
gle one of them accept our challenge to
deny that the paper used by them to
write lying free trade editorials is
cheaper now than it was before the new
tariff law passed?
If reciprocity is ''step toward free
trade" how is it "sham?"
If it is not taking trade from foreign
ers, why do foreigners fercely assail it?
If free trade is Humanitarian" why
was Cardinal Manning a protectionist?
If free wool would give cheaper wool
to the manufacturer, now would it give
dearer wool to the farmer?
Why have free trade and nullifca-
ton, free trade and secession, free
trade and slavery, free trade and trea-
son, always gone hand in hand?
If your campaign is one in behalf of
truth and righteousness. why did you
prevaricate go shamelessly about Nc
Kinley prices in the elections of 1890?
If we are poverty-ridde people,
why Is ours the one country on earth to
which the flood of immigration turns?
if free trade England is blessed with
greater prosperity than ours, why do
not immigrants flock thither?
If the tariff on imports is added to
the price of goods made in this country.
how do wire nails sell for Is cents a
pound, although the tariff on imported
wire nails is cents pound?

Cattle Stamnede IN New York.

New YORK, Aug. 16.-Six steers broke
away from drove at Haggerty's cattle
yards at First Avenue and Forty fifth
Street, this afternoon, and for several
hours ran wildly about the lower part
OF the city. One of the animals,
which suddenly made it's appear
ance on Broadway, gored Edward
McGovern, 10 years old, through the
breast causing fatal injuries. 1t also
tossed and knocked down several per-
sons, two policemen among the num-
Der. Another OF the steers took posses
sion of the Atlantic & Pacific tea store
at Sixth Avenue and Fortieth Street.
After wrecking the place the animal
proceeded to Carmine and Blocker
streets, where it was shot dead. Near
ly dozen people were hurt. John
Reynolds, a cowboy who had charge
of the beasts, was arrested and held to
await the result of McGovern's injuries.

4 STATE SUMNER NORMAL FOR
STIUNTON.

1t has been five years since Staunton had
tt1 Sammer Normal Institute here.
Her posi- ion is the Test in the Valley, her
&c '.niLc iations superior to those to be
lad any nhere in the Valley. and we believe
that if tle proper eXertion is made she i'll
connection with Augusta county can Sc
cure the holding of one here this summer.
The new pablo school on N Tin street will
furnish the rooms for the classes, the Y.
M. e. A. auditorium will furnish the hall
for lectures, and we are sure our City Coun-
Gil will not hesitat to appropriate lib
eral amount, sufficient in connection with
The county fund, to defray the local expen-
SEES. For the Normal should be free one,
with no assessment on teachers for its local
expenses, which is an imposition. With a
free Institute and the facilities and attrac.
lions Stanton can offer, there ought to he
four Oh five hundred teachers attracted here.
Their coming five years ago was delight
full social event, indedependent of its adj
vantages in a financial point of view to the
city, and we all want to see them back
again. Ii the proper guarantee is made we
believe we CAN have it, not only for this
year but permanently.

A Clear Statement of the Matter.

From the Charlottesville eva )Chronicle, jan L.
What is the meaning of all the mysteri-
Gus hints from Washington OF dissensions
and bad feeling arising out OF the late
Speakership contest?
There is no division in the Democratic
ranks as to the policy of the party on tariff
reform. We all want the repeal of the afro
cious Mckinley bill, and a radical rever-
sion of the tariff IN the direction of lower
duties.
But there may be, and seemingly is, a
difference OF opinion as the means to that
end. Mr.. Mills and most of his followers,
we understand, advise a general assault at
this session OF Congress upon the Mckin-
ley bill; it's repeal and the formulation OF a
general tariff bill, and policy with which to
go to the country in 1892.
Nh Crisp and most of his friends on the
other hand, although as much opposed to
McKinleySm, and as determined to re-
verse that policy as Mr.. Mills can be, yet
think it would be useless, if not worse, to
attempt any thing like general tariff legisla
ton at this time. They therefore propose
to attack McKinleyisn in detail by sepa-
rate bills modifying OF repeating some OF
its most obnoxious features.
lii this course they hope to be supported
by a sufficient number of Republican Sena-
tors to pass their bills, thus giving much
needed relief to the people. At the same
time the Mckinley bill in most of its enor-
mites would still stand as the point Of at
tack in 1892; and in the absence
of a defeated bill embodying the policy of
the Democrats, the Republicans could be
kept from first to last of the campaign on
the defensive, confined to the difficult task
of defending their own hideous offspring.
This divergence Of policy being kept in
view, neither Mr.. Mills nor his friends
ought to have expected the speaker to place
him at the head of Ways and Means, the
committee which will shape the policy Of
the party for tue session. 1t would seem
that he ought not to desire the position: for
as chairman of the Ways and Means COM
mittee he would either have to sacrifice his
own convictions of party policy OF act in
direct conflict with the views of the ma
jority Of the party which elected Mr. Crisp
speaker, chiefly if not solely Oh this issue.
1t is to he hoped that when MI. Mills
and his friends come to view the matter
calmly and without the heat of conflict,
this cloud will pass from the future of the
great tariff reform party.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Republican managers are panicked
by a report that with ex-Gov. Hills advice
the New York Democratic legislature will
choose Presidential Electors this year as
the constitution gives it the right to do.
The Governor of Kansas has appointed
ex-Congressman Perkins to fill the late Sen
ator Plumb's place in the Senate.
With the aid Of the one independent Re
publican i'll the Senate and their majority
in the House, the Democrats of the New
York legislature are carrying things to
suit themselves. The New York Republi-
cans seem to be paralyzed.

they had been mel OF less purpose and less
persistence the railroad authorities would
have worn them out. If there had been a
State Railroad Commission at Richmond
to originate rates, 1t would have simply and
promptly fixed tle rates which were given
10y railroads IN other States to the same
product AMI that would have been an end
of it. Where would the Virginia railroads
have been hurt by that?
Let us suppose that the reasonable re-
quests of those farmers had been laid before
Commission composed-as the VINDICA-
TOR contends it should be composed-of a
practical railroad man chosen by the rail
roads, a shipping merchant, and farmer.
The railroad man would have seen at once
the unbusiness like folly of a Virginia rail-
road refusing to anew industry as low
rates us roa S in other States gave it.; the
farmer would have seen the unreaSon of
demanding Lore from a Virginia railroad
than those in other States were able to give,
and the shi per Wo Id have agreed witt.

an original rate satisfactory las the history
Of the occurrence shows to all parties, and
that would have been he end of it, and 80
three months lost il etitions, and dicker

La this matter of the power to make
original rates, the impression is sought to
be created that it means a general uproot-
ing and changing of the rates and connec-
lions of the railroads. Not so; it simply
means that either ON complaint OF from
their own observation the Commission
shall take an unfair rate or connection and
set it right, and that the rate OF connection
it substitutes for it shall be accepted in a
court OF law as prima facie the just rate
OF connection, to he disproved by the rail-
roads. Ind when farmer OF merchant

mission lie drops it and need not follow 1t
through all the courts-a favorits field of
diversion for the rallroads-up to the Court
of Appeals. 1t means no violent wrench
ing of the railroad rates OF time schedules
and, from its operation in Georgia 1or
twelve years, we believe that within Il year
from the passage of the law it will be 1ecog-
nized us advantageous fol- both the railroads
and the people.

the example of Virginia, and that the fe-
male wards of every insane hospital will be
put under their medical care. There is no
intelligent reason that these Southern wo
men, after becoming educated physicians,

there are thousands Of helpless insane wo-

physicians to attend them.
