been examined by seven local and two city ply

THOUGH, since 1850, when a free
trade tariff had been in operation four
years, the price of wheat and oats was
about ten per cent. higher than now, yet
since that time the price of blankets has
fallen A per cent, of calico 63 per cent,
of agricultural machinery from 81 to 62
per cent, and of everything else in pro-
portion. Other farm products are much
higher now than then, so that the farmer
gets on the whole more for his products
now, and buys vastly more with the
same money.

Governor of Tennessee, has determined
to run on the Alliance ticket. Buchanan
got the support of the Alliance when he
was elected, and he thinks he can poll it
again with sufficient Democratic votes

stick to him, it is altogether probable
that the next Governor of Tennessee

THE Mississippi Democracy has adoE

THE Mississippi Democracy has adopt
ed a new plan of disfranchising the
Republicans of that State. Heretofore
it was done with the revolver and shot
gun, now a new constitution does it
legally. The demand made by the Re-
publican platform for fair voting and
fair counting at the South, in view of
this fact, becomes more pertinent even
than before. Despite the threats of ex-
rebels, and despite the frantic shouts of
"Force Bill" by Northern Bourbons, the
Republican party ought to stand squarely
by this issue, and fight for it until every
citizen in this free country can cast one
vote and have it counted.

FACTS ABOUT WOOL.

The Democratic argument against the
tariff on wool, and that party's assertion
that without the tariff, the farmer would
get higher prices for his wool, depends
on the statement that wool commands
as high a price in the London market
as the American farmer receives. Once
it is admitted that Australian wool
commands only about IL cents in
London, while American wool is sold
here at from 30 to "a cents, the Demo
cratic argument is knocked to pieces.
Therefore Democrats deny that prices
are low in London. This is a matter of
simple fact, and may be ascertained by
examining the English market reports.
A few weeks ago we published table
showing that for the past y years,
wool has been over fifty per cent. lower
in London than in this country. The
table below shows how wool has de-
clined in price at London since last
April.
The table is from the Colonial Wool
Report of Buxton, Ronald & Co., of "A
Basinghall Street, E. c., London:
GREASE. Per Cent.
All varieties ..........7.49 40
SECURED.
victoria-Fair bulk and color. .-s.57
&
New Zealand-Fair bulk and color. .3.l2
Cape Eastern-Rather short and fatty ...... .5.45
Average decline since April, 1892. -......6.75
Those interested In American wool
may thus see the course of foreign wool
prices which exercise so much influence
upon American prices. Wool-growers
who are disappointed, because under the
Mckinley bill they are receiving lower
prices than they received for their wool
before the duties were increased, will
see by the English wool market reports
how prices have declined in the markets
of the world, and also how much lower
prices would be here if the Mckinley
bill duties were removed, for in that case
London prices would be the American
prices, and secured wool in America
could no longer average about double
the value of similar secured wool in
London, which has been the average
difference since the tariff law of 1867 up
to the present time.
The Democratic Congressional plat
form for this District makes an especial
attack on the wool tariff. 1t behooves
thinking wool growers to look into this
matter, and to not be deceived by mere
appearances. Thirty cents for wool is
much better than eighteen.
