FREE WOOL.
The Tariff Takes From Many to
Benefit Few.


Philadelphia Record.
Among the reasons urged by sup
porters of the Mckinley tariff on wool
and woolens for the retention of duties
as they are. is the assertion that wooden
goods are cheaper than ever before in
this country, and, therefore. there is no
need for change. To this argument the
majority report in favor of the free
wool bill makes the following clever
reply:
II the existing law, imposing an av-
erage tax of 81 per cent on WOODEN goods
when imported does not increase the
price of domestic goods of like charac-
ter. which do not pay any tax what
ever, then the manufacturer receives no
benefit from protective tariffs. and
should not object to their repeal. If
domestic goods are increased in price
by reason of duties imposed upon for
eign goods of like character, the extent
or amount of this increase is the meas
ure of protection which domestic manu-
facturerS receive. The consumers are
compelled to pay whatever taxes are
imposed upon WOODEN goods when i'm
ported, as we'll as whatever increased
cost may be added to domestic goods by
reason of the tariff. All persons who
are compelled to use wooden goods are
compelled to pay the increased cost by
reason of the tariff. whatever it may be.
This exaction is taken from the many
for the benefit of the few. Notwith-
standing the high protection accorded
manufacturers of wooden goods, the
quality of such goods has deteriorated
from year to year since the discovery of
machinery for converting WOODEN rags
into substitutes for wool. Protective
tariffs have not protected consumers of
wool against the increased use of adul-
g0Ods

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The houses
committee on military affairs today com
pleted consideration of the army appro-
prlation bill. The most important pro-
vision in the bill relates to payment for
transportation over bond-aided railroads.
1t is provided that hereafter no money
appropriated for army transporta-
ton shall be used in payment of
transportation over any of the nom
bonded lines owned, controlled and OPP
Grated by the Union Pacific Railway
company Gncluding the Oregon Short
Line IL Utah Northern Railway COM
pany) or by the Southern Pacific COM
pany, over lines embraced in its Pacific
system.
The maximum amount of mileage
which may be allowed officers when
travelling on duty without troops is re-
duced from four to three cents per mile.
The total appropriation carried by the
bill is S24, 245,649, which is 1868, $50 less
than the appropriation for the current
year. The appropriation carried by the
bill is 81 ,703, 55S less than the estimates
of the department. -
The house naval affairs committee
today practically completed the consid-
Grafton of the naval appropriation bill.
The bill in round figures appropriates
$4,000, 900. The appropriation for the
current fiscal year is s3l. LAG, 145 and the
department estimates for the next fiscal
year were s27, 1914, 639. No appropriation
is made in the bill for the new
cruiser which is authorized. Under
the head OF increase of the
navy" 100000 is appropriated for
construction of ships heretofore
authorized which is 1888, 600 less than the
department estimates, and 100000
''for armament" OF these ships. which
is g, 1000, 900 less than the estimates. The
last congress in the second session APP
propriated S17,607. 900 for construction
and armament of new ships, so that the
bill proposes a decrease of over $780,
600 in this respect. A new dry dock at
Algiers, La, is provided for In the bill,
the cost of which will be more than
IS, 000, 900.

FRANCE AND PORTUGAL.

President Carnot has signed the bill
appropriating s65O,000 for frances ex-
hibit at the worlds fair. France will
get it all back again, as all judici0uS adj
vertiserS do. Detroit Tribune.
Portugal is too poor to take part IN
the worlds fair at Chicago. Japan.
however, can afford to spend S500.000 in
making an exhibit. Japan Is far ahead
OF some of the nations that boast of
centuries of civiliZation.-B Brooklyn
Times.
Portugal, saddled with an enormous
debt, is too poor to make any appropria-
ton for the Chicago fair. Spain ought
to help out her impeeuniOuS neighbor,
which has proud record OF daring yOy-
ages and expeditions in the bygone days
of her prime. Boston Globe.
France did the handsome thing when
she appropriated s60O.000 for her ex-
hibit at the worlds fair. The relations
between France and the United States
have long been very close. and it IS not
likely that any event will occur to dis
turb the friendly feeling which exists
between the two countries.
CourierJournal.
Poor little Portugal owns up to being
in too Straitened circumstances to come
to our fair, and there is every evidence
to show that her excuse is genuine
and sincere one. Ii she would permit
her king. who has cut down his salary,
to come over, he would be quite well
come. A monarch who has reduced his
own wages would be an imposing spec
tacle all by himself.-Boston Herald.
President Carnot yesterday signed the
bill approDriating 3.250,000 francs, equal

A PRETTY FIGHT.

The North Dakota Republicans are to
have their fill Of enjoyment, apparently
IL they retain their old-time love for po-
litiea scrimmages. The parties who
will wear the gloves are becoming vlSl-
bic, but their partiSans are not fully
aligned. The two senators lead one
side, and on the other are Congress man
JOHNSON, Maj. EDWARDS and the
greater part of the Scandinavians. The
immediate irritation is the late APP
pointment of the Fargo pos tmaster.
The president sided with the senators
against representative, although the
latter mlde It an intensely personal
matter. basing his action on the ground
that the favofite of the Sc ma
tors had used his paper in the
last campaign to defeat JOHNSON
ami elect the Democratic candi-
date to congress. The president
was advised that in turning down JOHN
son he was slapping in the face the
SeandinavianS, OF whom he Johnson
was the representative, constituting
nearly one-third of the Republican vote.
The newspapers representing this ele-
ment in North Dakota, and, to some ex
tent, in Minnesota. are champiOning
JOHNSON with yigor and viyacity that
is full of promise. His reelection IS
demanded, and the defeat of Senator
CASEY, whose term is soon to expire.
This Will carry the fight into the cleo
ton of the legislature, and, incidentally,
into all the state ticket. Everything
else will be sacrificed to elect or de-
feat CASEY and JOHNSON. The Demo
Gratis will hardly repeat the blunder of
taking sides in a Republican melee,
when they may pick up soma of the
good things themselves.

A YOUNG MEMS PARTY.

The primaries for the selection of
delegates to the Democracy's state con-
ventions will soon be held. 1t is less
than a month now to the date of the

The old war horses will be welcome, of
course; but let US have, in addition to
them, young blood. Let the youth who
are casting their first votes present
themselves at the polls, and If any of
them feel that they are fit to lead in the
coming battle, let them assert them
selves. In all great Warfares the cap

victory IS to be won. The dan

flock to listen to them and are moved by

infamed by enthusiasm, catch besides

BALTIMORE. March 4-Cardinal Glib
bons has addressed the following cir
lar letter to the archblshops and bishops
of the United States: My attention has
been called to the suggestion that it
would be eminently fittiHg to celebrate
with solemn religious observances the
18th day of October next, cOmmemora-
tive of the discovery of America. The
most reverend archbishop of New York
and other preIates, with distinguished
laymen, have made the request that the
arehbishops aud bishops be addressed
with view to the taking of some con-
certed action in the matter, so that on
the day mentioned in all the dioceses
special religious services be held 1t
has also been thought that these might
be supplemented wherever practicable
by some civil celebration in the even
ing. With all Difference | take the lib
erty of submitting the subject to your
graceS' consideration. A united action
OH the part of the hierarchy would en-
nance the glory of the celebration and
invest the day with particular SOemnity.

of the proposed celebration.

Last fall the st. Paul Jobbers' union

farmers of the northern part of the
state and of North Dakota with thrash
ing machines and men that they might
get their great wheat crop safely
housed. 1t has now undertaken the
job of furnishing them with help to get
in their spring crop. The great crop
the farmers had to take care of last fall,
and the delay oceasioned by the lack of
machines to do the thrashing. put them
back in making the usual preparations
for the coming crop. Much must be
done, and they will undoubtly need all
the help that can be secured for them.
The public spirit exercised by the job
bers' union in getting the needed help
will no doubt be appreciated as it ought
to be by those for whom it is intended.

WILL COME WEST.

The New York Times and some other
papers that have the past few years
supported the Democratic candidates
when the men and platform suited
them, affect to believe that the majority
of the party in New York is for CLEvE
LAND. and miSrepreSented IN the action
of the late state convention. In the
face of the unanimity in the local and
state conventions, this faith may be at
tributed to zeal rather than to dis
passionate view of the facts. Protests
at Chicago based upon that assumption
are not likely to be very influential
with the conservative and unexcited
Democrats from other states. What
ever may be said of some of
the modes of its expression, it
should be conceded that the &C
sion of the 22d of February conven
zion is conclusive as to the feeling of
the great majority of those who are
active party men. 1t must stand as the
voice of the party in New York. The
Boston Herald, which is in sympathy
with the ends of the Times, doubts that
it will be possible to convince the
Chicago convention of the probability
of carrying New York for the ex-presi-
dent if his nomination is forced against
the protests of the regular delegation
from the state. 1t does, however, in
Sist upon the possibility of electing a
New York man without the vote of
that state. The states it looks for
to take It's place are New Hampshire.
Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Mich
igan, Iowa and Wisconsin. Not
all of those are expected, but enough of
them to fill the gap. Not one of the m
has voted for a Democratic candidate
for president since the war. Illinois is
sngularly omitted from the list, al
though it is more hopeful than any Of
them except a partial vote of Michigan.
Its inclusion naturally involves the Sc
lection of Western candidate, which is
so unfamiliar to the Democratic mind in
the East as to require some effort to be
entertained. The attempts of papers
like those named to figure out Demo-
cratic success without New York and
Illinois Indicate its arduous char
acter. 1t is unWiSe to assume that
the Republicans will nominate a man
who will not command substantially
the strength of the party, and in ma
tiOnal contests they have a way of fill
ing the ballot boxes surprisingly. 1t is
likely to occur. then, to the considerable
Democrats of the country, when they
meet at Chicago, that If any New York
man is in danger of losing his state it
may be polite to come West and find
one who will be acceptable to all the
elements in New York, and can bring
into the political fold wandering flocks
in the West. The speculations based
upon information at W ashington have
no great value, but still they put the
Western man in the lead. Unless New
York is able to snow that a dangerous
split is not probable with one of it's men,
the westward ho' cry is likely to be
prevalent.

information as to the prospect of get

they can only be taken by actual set

however, must reside on the lands five
