Ths crx for Free Wool.


The wool clause of the Mckinley tariff
sct has had two years in which toexhihit
its beneficent powers to benefit the wool
grower, the wool manufacturer, and the
laboring man. All seem to be dissatis-
fed with it. The price of raw wool has
declined, and the market has been poor;
wooden manufacturers have suffered; the
wages of labor have been lowered; and
nobody apparently has thrived under the
operations of the act except the venders
of shoddy.
The Wool Consumers Association state
the case plainly:
The wool skedule (K) of the tariff act
of 1890 offers an exceptional opportunity,
by amendments making wool free and
relatively decreasing both the specific and
al valorem duties on wooden goods, to
benefit immensely the woolen imanufac-
turers by giving them free access to the
supplies of wool of various qualities,
such as all other competing manufacture
ing countries enjoy, and by reducing
thus without injury to manufacturers
the cost of their goods to them and to the
consumers, while leaving sufficient pro-
lection. With free raw materials. the
tax on imports Of competing goods would
be almost entirely fer the protection Of
labor; and, as free raw materials would
greatly increase the consumption, there
would be an increased demand for labor.
Wool is produced in this country in in
adequate quantities, and not in the ne
cessary varieties and qualities Some
Indispensable grades can be produced III
this country only under conditions un-
favorable as compared with those of
other countries. High duties for quar-.
ter OF century have failed to produce
any carpet wool in this country, and have
also failed to produce an adequate supply
of the woods needed for the woolen and
worsted manufacture. And. as wool can
be made free with a large reduction il
cost of goods and with very little dis
turbance of trade or of interference with
sufficient protection, it is only reasonable
that the changes suggested in schedule
X Of the Act of 1890 should be made for
the benefit of the whole people.
The Democrats in Congress passed the
free wool bill through the House as 6
measure to benefit both manufacturers
and producers. BY giving to the woolen
manufacturer the untaxed wool he needs
from abroad to mix with native woods, il
would raise the price of the domestic
article by creating a more active de
rand The history of tariff legislation
in this country shows that free raw wool
has raised prices to the wool grower
while benefiting the manufacturer. The
real enemy of the wool grower is the
shoddy dealer, and not free foreign wool.
The responsibility for the failure to pass
so beneficient measure as the free wool
bill must lay upon the Republicanpar;y.

Too conadentls, for Credence.

The cause of protection was sadly in
need of some statistical bolstering when
Labor Commissioner Peck, of New
York, issued his report intended as
help TO MckinleyisIn. But what do
Peck's figures amount to? His figures
were obtained, as he expressly declares,
from confidential communications
from manufacturers themselves. Not a
name is given Not q manufacturer III
New York State who says he has in
creased wages is man enough to stand
forth publicly and say so. Every AL
legged fact that is dwelt upon in Mr..
Peck's report rests upon testimony
which nobody can examine and which
comes from interested parties.
The tariff question Will net be settled
by public admissions by interested par
ties that they receive the stolen goods,
nor by allegations on their part that
they pass some of them along to their
employees. We know that they get the
swag and that they keep most of it
themselves, and it is the purpose Of
Democracy to choke them of. 1t is
because they do get these unfair and
unjust advantages that the whole pro-
tective system must 60.

The Cry Of "Amer,e.n Tia" Cannot
HIDE Its selfish RspacIty.

Hide lts selfish Rapnctty.
The real Intentions of the Mckinley
'aru on t,n plate was made clear when
the ring which controls the price of gal
vapize,l sheet iron put up the price OF
that article.
Ry making tinplate dearer through the
tariff the Galvanized Sheet Iron Associa-
ton is enabled to increase the price of its
competitive product. in spite of the de-
cline in the cost of pig iron.
Ii is an interesting fact that three menu
hers of this Galvanized Sheet Iron Com
bination-Messrs. Neidringhaus. CIcuc.
'a"r er and Iaufman--were among the
.eading lobbyists for the tinplats swindle.
They wanted. they said, to create new
American industry that would give em.
ployment to thousands of woraiDgmen,
ami prevent millions of dollars from
gci,ig out of the country. Their actual
purpase, Gehind this pat,iotic pretense.
was to use the increased tinplate duty for
checking competition with their highly
protected galvanized sheet-iron. When
he tin-plate duty was put into the
Mckinley bill the charge was made that
the object was to benefit the Galvanized
Sheet Iron Ring. This was indignantly
denounced as free trade slander. But
what was so Indignantly denied now
stands confessed. There has been no CON.
siderable production of American tin.

vanized sheet iron is filling the pockets

Fe Qays,loa Of Wages.

A plain and straightforward argu-
ment can I've made that will convince
any level-headcd workingman that
tariff laws have nothing 10 do with
wages. II is this:
The United States, Russia and India
are the three chief grain producing
countries in the world In the United
States harvest wages are from 81 so to
$2.O0 per day, in Russia 20 cents per
day, in India 6 cents per day. In spite
of this discrepancy in wages, American
wheat and other cereals are put in the
European market and sold cheaper than
Russian or Indian cereals.
Why is this 1t is simply due 10 the
more fertile soil and more general nsa
of labor-saving machinery in America.
The same facts apply to mechanical
labor in this country, American manu-.
facturers use more and better machin-
cry than foreign manufacturers, and
they have access to better and larger
supplies of coal, iron, and other raw
products. They can and do manufac-
ture cheaper while paying higher wages.
and il the tariff wall was taken down.
American,made goods could be sold in
all the markets of the world in success.
full competition with foreign goods the
same as American agricultural products
are now.
Tariff reform would relieve the home
market from unhealthy competition,
provide larger markets, and in the end
furnish labor with more steady employ
ment at equal il not better wages than
now prevail.
A further argument on the wage
question is shown by the fact that the
wages of English mechanics have stead
lily increased since free trade was
adopted in 1851, and are to-day from
so to 60 per cent higher than they
were under the old British high pro-
tective tariff IL is also fact that
wages in England under free trade are
from 90 TO 75 per cent higher than in
Russia, which has high tariff analo-
gous to the Mckinley bill.
Another fact is, that wages in the
United States under the Democratic
low tariff of 1S46-60 were higher in pro-
portion to then existing wages in Eng
land than are the present wages in the
United States compared with present
English wages.

IIe Cast ExpIsIn.

Tlsel whole structure of Protection ar
gument rests upon basis of presumption
and assumption. For example, Mr.. Nc
Kinley asserts that
No arithmetic, no statistirs. can get
away from the fact that with free trade
dle scale OF wages in America must be
reduced to the scale Of wages abroad.
Will Mr. Mckinley explain Why wages
in free trade England do not sink to the
scale of wages in protectionist Germany
or France? Will he undertake to tell
why the difference here and abroad of
the great mass of unprotected labor
farm hands, masons, teamsters. railroad
men, colnpositors. and the hundrels Of
other occupations not affected except TO
be taxed by the tariffs much greater
than that in the so-calIed protected iu-
dustries?

For ten years Germany went on piling
one tariff tax on another, until she hal
the most complete system of protection
by taxation in Europe. What was the
result? Did it bring greater prosperity
to the people and increased wages to la
borl On the contrary profit gradually
declined, wages " ere reduced, and finally
the poorer classes could not pay the high
prices demanded for food.
Germany has been driven by idle fac
tories and starvation threatening her
workingmen to modify her tariff laws in
the direction of free trade. The adoption
of the commercial union between Ger
many, Austria aud Italy was a practical
abandonment of the protective policy Ia
all these countries.
The protectionists of Germany and
Austria declare that THE adoption of the
commercial union has brought them to
stlIe threshold of Free Trade. There,
MS well as here, tile tariff beneficiaries
scent danger to their system in the
smallest reduction of taxes upon the
necessaries of living. On both sides OF
the Al. .antic all who propose TO mitigate
in some measure the barIarities of Pro.
lection are denounced as arr.nt Free

WHO is SHE?
Appearance Of a Strange Young
Woman at Little Rock.

She Visited the Store of A. G. Davis
* SON at O'Clock and Then
Vanished - No Hat, Cloak or
ShawI--ThOught TO be Demented
A commotion was created in Little Rock
early this morning by the appearance of a
strange young woman, who claimed TO
have run away from her home in Tacoma
and walked along the railroad track all
night.
She called at the general merchandise
store of A. G. DaAis & Son, at O'Clock.
Mr.. Davis was in the store posting his
books. The woman entered and looked
about in half frightened way, as if she
didn't know exactly what she was doing.
She had neither hat, shawl or cloak. When
questioned by Mr.. Davis she said that she
had walked from Woodland during the
night, but did not remember passing
Olympia. Asked her name, she said it
did not make any difference what it was.
She fingered about the store few minutes
and then departed. Afterward Mr. Davis
told some of his neighbors about the occur
renee, and they began to hunt for the wo-
man, but she had disappeared completely
At 6:30 the search party was increased for
the purpose of searching the neigh borhOOd
Mr.. Davis asked her q number of leading
questions but could not get much informa-
ton from her. He was of the opinion that
she was insane. The woman appeared to
be about 25 years old and was plainly
dressed
