the only competing price foreign wool
can have. To quote prices in Zulu
land, or New Zealand, or Araucania is
to play bunco on the unsuspecting far
mer, who imagines that while Congress
protects him, as it protects the mill
owner, he does not have to collect the
protection for himself as the mill
owner must, but he imagines that the
manufacturers collect 1t for him and
return it all to him. Though he send
1000, 900 pounds of wool to Canada, be-
cause the Canadian mill-owner pays
more than the American. yet will the
Republican farmer believe that for
what he sells In the United States he
will get II cents more than the foreign
market pricel
It Is. pehaps, small wonder that the
Tribune considers Its readers as chill
dren, Incapable Of thought and willing
to believe what 1t tells them. But
even children ask question:
The Sugar Trust.
Did the sugar trust sell as cheaply to
the American as to the foreigner? It
controlled, in 1886 to 1853, both the
American and English market-the or
gan Of the Protective Tariff league de-
clares. When cents Of the 3H cents
per pound Of protection was taken from
it, did not the price Of sugar here fall
cents2 OF what use was the protection
to it, when it controlled the English
market, except to enable It to charge
3 cents more per pound to an American
than it charged to an Englishmana
For twenty years we have never i'm
ported pound Of sugar for table use,
only raw material, and on every pound
of sugar eaten the American people
have had to pay as blackD,ail taxes to
these twenty-three men from ~ to ?
cents per pound. In ten years this
blaclmail amounted to over $780,
600, 900. Is 1t small wonder that the
head of the sugar trust is worth $50, :
600, 900, and the other members from
that amount down to IS, 900, 900? We
consume over 5000, 000, 900 pounds
yearly. Figure it.
What n Low Tariff Doea
When trust breaks does not the
same result follow as when the pro-
lection is taken of-does not the price
go tumbling down? When the steel
rail trust broke did not the prices drop
from $41.5O to 500. 75-below the for
eign price, f. o. b? When the salt
trust broke did not the price go down
30 quickly that the bottom seemed to
have fallen out? When the trusts re-
formed did not the prices go waltzin0
up to the old figures?
Competition and Trusts
E.Without the trusts domestic compe-
tition destroys any value protection
may have. Without the domestic COM
petition which the trusts destroy, the
protection is worth whatever the men,
bers may desire. We are asked to be-
lieve that the trusts destroy domestic
competition merely for fun, not be-
cause the members wish to profit by
the protection. VIII you believe this
or will you pray for those who do?

CLrnegie's Opinion of his Victims

From The New York Evening Post.
The London correspondent of The
New York Times mentions the case of
IN Englishman "who told me how he
himself heard Carnegie declare to a
dinnerparty of Englishmen that the
tariff and tariff millionaires were pos
sible in America only because the
American people were in economic
matters unexampled fools" We may
add that we have heard Of Americans
to whom Mr. Carnegie has made sub
stantially the same remark, saying
that the people of this country were
fools to allow a tariff which enabled
him to make SO many millions, but
that Of course he could not object }

Can any one explain why the New
York Tribune cannot possibly tell the
whole truth about wool, and why it
invariably says something that is not
true In addition to it's half truth? In
an editorial in the weekly issue of
April 81 it says:
1t Is urged that at least 81, oCO, 600
sheep out of A, 900, 900 in the country
are of the merino blood, which are not
proftably raised for mutton, and would
be slaughtered and no longer raised at
all II duties on wool were removed In
effect the destruction of wool-growing
as an American industry would newt
ably result No doubt this is true, and
1t is strong reason for retaining
duties. Wool of the same quality,
costing not more than 80 to 35 cents,
secured, is imported largely now, the
American, nerino costing In secured
condition about twice as much. Such
wool can be grown in any quantity in
Australia and other countries where
land Is valueless and labor cheap, and
1t is sheer folly to suppose that the
American grower can compete at all
without defensive duty.
The Assertion is False.
1t must know that the italicized sem
tence is untrue. Any man who knows
enough to write on the subject must
have consulted the references, which
declare that we do not import secured
wool in any quantity, and that our
imported clothing and combing wool
cannot be purchased abroad for 30 to IS
cents secured; that the average cost to
land of our unwashed greasy wool i'm
ported was in 1890 oyer SO cents per
pound, and it's foreign cost was over 30
centa- But let the Secretary of the
Treasury answer the Tribune Here

washed wool for the years named,

Why Wisconsin is Democratic
From The Madison Times


\ prominent German business man

republican, but l am sick and tired
of hearing the leaders of my party
making excuses for the state treasur-
ers who pocketed SO much uoney be-
longing to the people. l never could
understand how anybody could SINGER
" endorse system which permitted a
state officer receiving a salary of $4,000
per year for his services, to pocket al
additional $4,000 or $4,000 a wear
which is earned by moneys belonging
to the people. see, by the report of
Treasurer Hummer, that since he has
been in office more than $4,000 has
been saved to taxpayers. In other
words, the state of Wisconsin is this
much better off than it would have
been if republican had been treasur-
er. This is the reason why I propose
to vote the Democratic ticket at the
approaching election.

Hon. e.. NJ. Woodward in an inter
view published in The La Crosse
Chronicle, declares himself unquali-
liedly in favor Of Gen. Edward s.
Bragg as the next u. S. Senator from
Wisconsin. Among other words in
praise of the heroic commander of the
Iron brigade, Col Woodward says:
'Gen. Bragg has done over forty
years of service for his party and it
has been, intelligent patriotic service.
He was one Of the first prominent
Democrats in Wisconsin TO give his
services to the union. He fought his
way to distinction in the field and
since the war he has done himself and
his state honor in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes. He deserves this honor at
hands Of his party and his party owes
to him and to itself to grant it grace
fully and generously if it has it to be-
stow"
And The Chronicle. which was ready
and anxious to support Col Wardward,
for Senator, against all, corners, now
comes out and vigorously advocates
the election Of Gen. Bragg The
Chronicle is d power in Wisconsin pol
itics, and is pretty good index to

still More Untrue.
But the Tribune may say that It
means the greasy wool can be imported
and secured here at foreign cost OF
80 to 35 cents. This is much more un.
true than the other. The cheapest
greasy clothing wool imported in 1891
cost abroad an average of 81 cents and
8 mills per pound average. It takes
three pounds, the tariff law says, of
grease wool to make pound Of
secured, and this would bring the cost
to IS cents. In combing woods the
grease price was % cents, or SO cents
secured. For the foreign wool to cost
only 80 cents secured, it must cost
abroad in the grease only 10 cents If
we import any clothing, or combing
woods costing abroad 10 cents per
pound the Tribune must tell us how
much we import, largely" at that
price, to scour here

which ranges from "a to 30-11 cents
