LORD sALISBURY'S NOTE.
Its Conciiiatory Tone Pleases Harrison
and His Cabinet.

WASHINGTON. March 2S.-It is said on
good authority that the president and
his cabinet are well pleased with the
conciliatory tone of Lord Salisbury's
note of the 26th inst, especially as it is
held to conccde the point that has been
the principal cause of the contention,
viz, the renewal of the modus vivcndi of
last year for the protection Of seal
fisheries. This alleged concession is
believed to be implied in his proposition
to agree to the modus in case the treaty
Of arbitration is ratified under the con
dltion that each government shall
guarantee the other for damages in
Cured through a suspension of sealing
operations. One official who has been
consulted by the president in regard to
the negotiations said he was especially
pleased with Lo Salisbury's admission
that Great Britain would hold itself
liable for damages resulting to the
United States because of the modus
vivendi in the event that the verdict of
the arbitrators is adverse to the conten-
tion. 1t is said that, taken altogether,
Lord Salisbury's note is satisfactory as
indicating good prospect for an amic-
able settlement of the questions at issue.
Further correspondence will be neces-
sary to settle the method Of determining
the character of damage claims.

WOOL PRICES HERE AND ABROAD
Does High Tariff on Wool Make Wool

slloddy.

Does u High Tariff ON Wool Make Wool
Higher Here?
Demand and supply regulate the prices
of wool, as of other products. But in
the wool trade certain factors enter
more prominently than in the trade in
most other articles. The quality and
availability of woods are powerful fac
tors in determining demand, and there
fore prices. Similarly, changes in fash
ion by stimulating or decreasing demand
affect prices equally with changes in
supply. Thus, during the past year
some woods have greatly fallen in price,
while the price of others has been well
maintained.
Each variety of wool produced has a
use for which it is better than any
other woo, grown. The price of
wool therefore does not depend upon
the relation between the general demand
and supply, but rather upon the relation
existing between the demand and sup
ply of each particular variety. The
general expression therefore that "wool
is up" or down" carries with it no real
significance.
Various attempts have been made to
compare the prices of certain woods in
this country and in England for the pur-
pose Of determining the effect of the
tariff upon prices, but usually without
satisfactory results, for these compare

AS an example is always better than
an argument, will present to the reader
an actual transaction under the McKin-
ley bill. which has been furnished me
through the kindness of friend in Now
York.
lie says, under date of Feb. II: Il re-
ceivcl shipment this week from Man
chester containing a number of cases of
dress goods, mostly all wool, and some
wooden and worsted cloths. also some
cotton warp dress goods. Entered value,
$2,63l. Packing is accountable for $40
of this, the value of the cloth being
S2.6l2. Ipaid $2Gal .05 duty. OF course
the consumers, public at large, will
eventually pay this
Let us study this concrete example for
a moment:
We see that cloth and dress goods of
the value of S2,8l9 cost the importer
s.. .233.05. which sum he must get back
from the consumers of the goods with
his profits upon the transaction.
The goods imported are among the
necessaries i'll our country and climate,
and not the mere Injuries of those who
are rich or eXtravagant.
Tho farmer OF the lnborer buys these
goods for his wife and children and be-
lieves when he puts down on the store
counter dollar of his earnings that he
is getting Il dollars worth of goods,
when in fact he is paying more than
half of the money for the tax and the
profits of the tax of several middlemen
that have been secretly wrapped up in
the goods.
These goods are also largely made in
this country. They would not DE i'm
ported unless they could be sold here
for cost and tax and fair profit on
both. Except for the tax we could buy
them for the cost anil IA fair profit ON it.
The tariff tax which the government
mixes with them before it allows them
to pass into the clothing of the people
thus more than doubles their cost, and
at the same time increases by like
amount the price at which similar
homemade goods can be sold to the
people. This last is the purpose for
which it is levied.
The labor cost of producing these
goods in this country is not more than
30 per cent. greater than the labor cost
in Manchester, ana but for tariff on
wool that actually depresses the value
of our native wool, but increases the
cost of the foreign woods needed for
mingling with our native grades to
make these goods, the cost of material
would be the same in both countries.
Let the farmer and laborer now sit
down and figure out to his satisfaction,
if he can, why law of congress should
be made to compel him to give two
bushels of his wheat or two days of his
labor for the same quantity of necessary
goods that he could, but for such a law
procure with less than one bushel of his
wheat or less than one day of his labor.
