WANTS FREE WOOL.
A Massachusetts, Republican Editor Out
of Sympathy with McKinleyism.

The American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter, the leading journal of the spin
ming and weaving industries in this
country, which is edited by a prominent
Republican member of the Massachu-
setts legislature, has grown very weary
of McKinleyism. While The Reporter
believes in moderate protective tariff
it is not blind to what it frankly calls
the ''monopolistic tendency" of the Re
publican party under McKinley's sway.
''The American people" says The Re.
porter, "believe the tariff has served a
useful purpose, and that it is something
which they should now begin to grow
out of in q moderate and reasonable
manner, with due regard to all vested in
terests, and to the welfare of even those
people employed in industries which
have been turned into unwholesome
channels by unwise tariff laws"
The particular kind of tariff reform
which The Reporter wants is found in
the Democratic proposition to make
wool free. 1t adds: with free wool
and q moderate tariff upon wooden goods
the United States would beat the world
on manufactured !TOolens of every de-
scription. We should export enormous
and constantly increasing quantities of
mutton and lamb, and we should send
abroad large amounts of medium wool,
which would be laid down at a hand
some profit to our farmers in the mar
kets OF continental Europe"
That the views of this journal are in
dorsed by other Massachusetts Repub-
licans is boldly asserted in the following
words: There can be no question that
there has been a considerable revolt
among the Republicans OF Massachu-
setts against the extreme high tariff
views represented by the Mckinley bill"

Then Outspoke n Bachelor.

They were very pretty, and there was
apparently five or six years. difference in
their ages. As the train pulled up at Rus
sew, out on the A. X. d., the younger girl
blushed, fattened her nose nervously
against the window and drew back in joy
Gus smiles as n young man came dashing
into the car, shook hands tenderly and
cordially, insisted on carrying her valise,
magazine, paper bundle, and would proba-
bly have carried her had she let him.
The passengers smiled as she left, and
the murmer went ripping through the
coach, "They're engaged"
The other girl sat looking nervously out
of the window, and once or twice gathered
her parcels together as though she would
leave the car, yet seemed to be expecting
some one.
At last he came. He bulged into the
door like n house on fire. looked along the
seats until his manly gaze fell upon the
upturned eXpectant face, roared "Come
on; I've been waiting for you on the plat
form for fifteen minutes" grabbed her
basket and strobe out of the car, while she
followed with little valse, a bandbox, a
paper bag full of lunch, Il birdcage, glass
Jar of jelly preserves and an extra shawl.
And crusty looking old bachelor in the
farther end of the car croalled out, in uni
son with the indignant looks of the pas
sengers, They're married. ."-Richmond

To His Dearest Love"

There was one young person possessed of
a pretty face, u kinds heart and an all alb
sorbing desire to do something to assist
her fellow beings. After some eloquent
persuasion she obtained the consent of her
family to enter hospital to study for the
work of a trained nurse.
Among the pretty enthusiasts first pa
tients was IL young man with II broken arm
and of ~ attractive appearance. The de-
mure, white capped nurse began to take an
unusual interest in him, and asked him
one day if there was nothing she could dc
for him-no book she could read, no letter
she could write. The patient gratefully
accepted the latter Offer and the nurse pre-
pared to write from his dictation.
He began with a tender address to his
dearest love-" and the little nurse felt
slightly embarrassed. But she continued
through the most ardent declarations of
all absorbing affection to the END, where he
wished to be subscribed an adoring lover
for all time. Then she folded the letter
and slipped it into its envelope.
"To whom shall / direct it?" she asked.
The wicked young man said amiably and
even tenderly:
"What is your name, pleased"
They have been married little more
than a year now.-St. Louis Star Sayings.

of New York. There is no man with a
gun behind bush on the wharf to lie
in wait for him, but there is another
man, armed with something better than
a gun, who tells the farmer that he
must give up more than half the value
of all the things he has received in pay
ment for his corn before he can come
| into possession of the other half.
If he does not pay quickly, or if he
makes any fuss about the charges, this
other man will take the whole, and not
unlikely put the farmer in jail. If the
farmer could pay in things instead of
money and had taken salt in exchange
for his corn, then for every 100 bushels
he would have had to bring and give up
seventy-three additional bushels. For
every yard of the cheapest carpet he
would have had three-ql .rters of yard
cut off, and if he had cotton ties each tie
would be shortened TO the extent of 80
per cent. If he had taken the common

order to carry a dozen of them home he
would have had to pay for eighteen.
| If our government needed to impose
and collect such taxes in order to meet
its necessary expenditures there would
be some justification for such procedure.
But revenue was not the object sought
for in the enactment of the laws which
authorize or require them, but the re-
strictions of trade to prevent the farmer
from selling his products to the best ad-
vantage. In short, carry out logically
and to their fullest extent McKinley's
views about industry, and you would
have every man trying to produce

With u bare hodkin?
Thus reasoned Hamlet, the melancholy
Dane, or thus does Shakespeare represent
him as having reasoned. And thus has
many q noble soul reasoned from the dawn
of civilization until now. And the verdict
of the greatest reasoners has by no means
been unanimous. Almost the Oldest tradi-
ton il Japanese literature is that of ''The
SevcE Roman" who killed themselves in
turn because their chief had been dis.
graced, and the latest sensation in New
York is the suicide Of J. Barlow Moore
himself Gas per club"
Let the cold truth be acknowledged. The
suicide club is an unquestionable fact.
1t has been known from the dawn of his
tory. 1t invariably appears in a certain
stage of each successive civilization. 1t
exists today not only among the japanese
and the fanatcal religious sects of Russia,
but equally among the wild Malays and
the most cultured citizens of the United
States, England and France.
Nor is it easy to refute the arguments
employed. Hamlet decided that he could
not kill himself because the Everlasting
had fixed his canon against self slaughter,
but the Russian fanatics say there is no
such prohibition in the Bible, and the agnos-
tics care not if there is. Their reasoning is
simple and in this wise: A mans life is his
personal property, and his disposal of it is
nobody else's concern; if man fails in
business in this country he has a perfect
right to go to some other country and start
again. Why not to some other world if he
sees fit?
So reasoned the men who organized the
much disputed Suicide club of Bridgeport,
Conn, in 1884. There were nine of them,
and they threw dice for the first man
out" us they phrased it. The lot fell on
Max Heisterhagen, saloon keeper, and that
night he shot himself. A year and four
months later William Nickel, sign paint
er, of this club, cut his throat. About the
same time another member, Karl Roberts,
went mad, and today he is in lunatic
asylum. Next Johu Kinzie, keeper of the
saloon where the club was organized, shot
himself, and then in turn George Leaven-
worth, journalist, .ook laudanum; Wen

ty-eight dollars per month. In Febru-
ary, 1871, he entered the Oswego Normal
and Training school, and three years
later graduated at the head of his class.
The following year he took q course of
lectures in the medical department of
the Michigan university. He served
two years as principal of the Spencer
academy. He start~,d a business college
at Freeporr, Ills, a,d later was at the
head of the Rock River university at
Dixon, Ills. In 1879 he was superintend-
ent of the Pittsfeld Qlls.) public schools,
where he remained for five years, and
then went to Big Rapids, Mich. If elect
ed he will be the first school teacher
ever sent to congress from Michigan.
In the Third Michigan district the con-
gressional candidates are Julius Caesar
Burrows, OF Kalamazoo, and Daniel
Strange, of Grand Ledge, the former the
choice of the Republicans and the latter
nominated both by the Democrats and
Populists Mr.. Burrows is now serving
his seventh term in the house and is
widely known. Mr.. Strange is farmer.
He was born in Eaton county, few
miles from where he now lives, on March
4, 1S45. He received his early education
in the country schools, later attended
the Charlotte Union school, was stu
dent in Olivet college the first year it
opened QS59), attended the state normal
school at Ypsilanti and finally graduated
from the Michigan Agricultural school.
He taught school at the age of sixteen,
and continued teaching while pursuing
his own studies. After graduating Mr..

dell Baum, hotel man, cut his throat, and
William Maybe, letter carrier, did the
same. But two members of that alleged
club remain alive, and they refuse either
to affirm or deny the original agreement
They simply say, If l choose to kill my
self it is nobody's -- business.'
Next to attract attention was the famous
Whitechapel club Of Chicago One of its
members committed suicide not long ago,
and by will left his body to the club, which
burned it on pyre at night with strange,
uncanny ceremonies The charge is now
made that inside this Whitechapcl club
there is a suicide club; that it has branch
in Philadelphia consisting OF seventeen
members; that Barlow Moorehead was Il
member OF this branch and killed himself
according to previous agreement the time
determined by lot Such things are equally
hard to prove or disprove. Let us see what
history has to offer in support of the sup
position.
In the troublous times in Greece and
Rome suicide was the heroic road out Of
the world, and every man of mark who
knew that relentless enemies were on his
track carried concealed poison, sometimes
in the jewel of a ring, sometimes in cane
or penstock. Demosthenes chewed his pen
and presently fell dead from the poison
thus taken. Hannibal sucked final release
from q jeweled ring Seneca tried bleeding
in a hot bath, and that failing had himself
suffocated by charcoal fumes. Brutus and
Cassius fell on their swords. But the list
would fill columns. Every one has read
the story of that noble Roman who gave
notice in the forum that he had tree on
which more great men had hanged them
selves than on any other tree in Italy, but
as he intended to cut it down on the APP
preaching calends all persons desirous of
availing themselves of the honor of death
thereon must act at once.
1t is sometimes stated that the religion
Of the Jews forbade self slaughter but they
often departed in that way Josephus
gives an interesting account of a club of
forty, each of whom was to be killed by the
next, but the last two decided to back out.
1t is pity Josephus was such liar, for
the story is very Jewish and good enough to
be true. Summing it all up we can say
this: There undoubtedly have been great
epidemics Of suicide; there certainly have
been suicide clubs in past ages; there as
certainly are suicidal societies in Russia,
India and Malaysia today, and there is
very strong evidence that such clubs exist

Peck in 1893 and in 1892.

When Commissioner Peck was inves-
tigating the cause of increased wages in
1883 he put to the labor unions the fol-
lowing question: DO you attribute the
increase of wages, if any in your trade,
to organizations" This question was
sent to S26 unions and was answered by
517 of them. OF those unions answer
ing the question 442 gave their men,
bership, agsregating 93,209 members,
and the other 135 did not state the
number of members Mr.. Peck says
that these 577 unions answered with
directness, and for the most part with
earnestness, that they DO attribute in
crease Of wages to organization.
Yet in 1892 Mr. Peck rushes to tn
conclusion that the increase in wages
last year was due to the Mckinley law
"a conclusion which labor unions ev-
erywhere are rejecting as absurd.

Condemned by an Eminent Republican

Judge T. M. Cooley, one of the ablest
constitutional lawyers produced by this
country, and himself Republican, has
the following to say of the protective
principle in his work on unconstitutional
Limitations:'
Constitutionally a tax can have no
other basis than the raising of revenues
for public purposes, and whatever gov
ernmental exaction has not this basis
is tyrannical and unlawful. A tax on
imports, therefore, the purpose of which
is not to raise revenue, but to discourage
and indirectly prohibit some particular
import for the benefit of some home
manufacturer, may we'll be questioned
as being merely colorado, and therefore
not warranted by constitutional prin-
cipleS,
