THE DUTY ON WOOL.

1t Protects Only Protectionist Politicians
at the Consumers Expense.
The editor of The American Wool and
Cotton Reporter is by no means free
trader. He believes in protection, but
he has to deal with facts in the wool and
cotton industries, and these facts have
convinced him that protection to the
wool industry is farce, kept mp by poll

for Sept. /. 1892:
1t is impossible not to admire the
genial persistence with which Judge
Lawrence, of Ohio, interjects his pc

The illogical character of his conclu-
sions transpires first in his advocacy of
sheep as means of reclaiming the soil
He mentions wornout hay farm of
$50 acres which yielded but seventeen
loads of hay the season after it was pur-
chased. No means of recuperation
were found successful until sheep were
tried, the result being that the farm
eventually cut 500 loads of hay, besides
yielding other bountiful crops. But,

HOW MIKE MADE TWENTY DOLLARS

The Deal OF = Chicago Bunko sharp IN
the Days Before the Big Fire.
Before the fire of 1871 there lived
IN Chicago noted bunko sharp
named Mike O'AIara He is now
serving time at Columbus, O., but in
those days he was known to the 20
lice as a shining light of bunkoisln-
One day in 1869 he went into the
saloon of West Side Irishman who
prided himself on his knowledge Of
money. Mike throw down a dirty
looking dollar and called for rye.
The barkeeper picked up the coin
and examined it closely.
Sure. an it's had, Nike, said he.
Betcher ten it amt, answered
Mike quick as wink, pulling out q
bill and slapping it down on the
counter. After looking at Mikes
bill moment the saloon man took
a ten dollar note from his drawer
and laid it ON the other.
Who'll aiecidei" he asked.
Cashier of the hank round IN Hal
sted street. answered Nike. The
two tens were handed to one of
Mixes friends, and the trio, followed
by a curious crowd, went over to the
bank. When they got there the sa-
loon man planked the dollar before
the teller and said:
Don't you call that counterfeitl'
No, was answered after a brief
examination. 1t is perfectly good.
i don't believe you, cried the sa-
loon man angrily. Tain't worth
dime. -
The teller flushed, and silently
turning to a stack of coin raked of a
dollar and handing it to the other
said:
Is that gooda'
Yes, was the answer.
sThen keep it, and viii take this
other IN its place" That of course
downed the saloon man, and Mike
won. AS he was about to put the
bills in his pocket lie stopped and
began an eager examination of one
of them. 1t was, IN fact. the ten he
had put up. Turning to his op-
ponent, he asked:
Did you look at the bill you

"No.n

'sNWas it good9''
''Of course
Well. said Mike, this bill Is
bad, and if you hadn't said what You
did would have sworn that my ten
was all right anyway
The saloon man did not believe
Mike and the bill was passed in for
the teller to decide. His answer was
a red stamp, counterfeit, across its
face. The saloon man fished anoth-
er ten out of his trousers to replace
it, but he never would be persuaded
that Mike made twenty dollars on

Lawrence suggests, and II Will be seen
that the wool is but moderate factor
in the success Of the experiment.
We are afraid to expect that the sue
cess OF The Reporters experiment is as
well assured as Judge Lawrence sug-
gests- The chances seem to us about
even that the experiment will prove a
failure, and that the tariff has very little
TO do with the matter either one way or
the other But while we believe the main
objection to the increased duties upon
wool under the Mckinley bill has been
that they are tax upon the consumer
without doing the producer any good.
we still admire the genial insistence
with which Judge Lawrence presents
his high tariff opinions whenever oppor-
tunity offers.

Many Democrats Refuse to Vote for

OMAHA, NEB., Nov. 5.-The close Of the
campaign In Nebraska shows affairs In a
very complicated condition. While there are
three Gets Of electoral tickets the spectacle
is presented of the democratic m6nagers
doing everything iu their power TO kesp
their candidates from securing votes. OF
course this urging will prove effective in a
large number of cases, but there are many
democrats who declare that they will stand
by their own ticket. The republican
state committee depends entirely on
the proportion Of democrats who
refuse to obey the orders of their
party managers. The chairman of the
democratic state committee predicts that
their advice will be generally followed aud
that their ticket will be elected by at least
1000 plurality. Republican managers. how
ever, assert that the populists who formerly
affiliated with the Republican party have
been convinced of the uselessness OF a vote
for Gen. Weaver, except t. aid Mr.. Cleve-
land and that they will vote for the Harri-
son electors in sufficient numbers to offset
the democratic vote for Weaver.
