st. Paul, Mimi. Special, Oct. 20
Additional interest has been Impaired 60
the decision recently handed down by MIR.
Justice Brewer in regard to the ''long and
short haul clause of the interstate COM
merce act by the criticism offered by a
prominent railroad man and was published
In yesterdays Pioneer Press. This criticism
is hostile to the decision on the ground that
its effect will be to discriminate between
American railroads. Thus, take the case Of
two routes running between two given
points. One route consists of one road con-
trolled by one company and the other OF
two or more connecting lines, all under dif-
ferent management. According to the deci-
sion the latter route can quote any rate for
the entire distance that the connecting lines
may agree upon and still not interfere with
the local tariff of each line. The former
route, on the other hand, consisting. of one
line is subject to all the rigors Of the long
and short haul clause, which would give the
Judge Brewers Interpretation of the inter.
state act In this respect Is so
radically different from that which has been
commonly accepted that his decision prac-
tically amounts to a new law on long and
short haul rates. If the decision prevails
then q few comparatively weak routes will
be in n position p control the freight traffic
Of the country. That is on the supposition
that other and stronger roads which contSpl

condition Of affairs WOULD seem SO inequit-
able that either the restrictive clause of else

as being contrary to public policy.

PRICES OF WOOL.

Democratic demagogues are just now
raising tremendous howl over the price
of wool, and claiming, of course, that
the low prices are the result of the Nc
Kinley bill. Such claims are demagog-
cry of the lowest type. Why wool is low
is well shown by the following table, and
comment issued by Justice, Bateman "
Co., Wool Merchants, Philadelphia, and
comparing prices of wool in this country
with prices in London. Do the farmers
of Ohio wish to raise wool for just one
half what they now get? If they do,
let them vote for Cleveland, and for
opening our markets to Australasian
wool. Let wool growing farmers cut
this out, paste it in their hats, and COM
nit it to memory.
"As many errors and misstatements
have been published as to the relative
value of free wool in London, and the
same quality of protected wool In the
United States, we have tabulated below
the average annual London free trade
price, and the American protected price
of the same quality of medium wool for
each year from the time of the passage
of the tariff law of 1867 up to the end
of 1891. During all that time the aver
age cost of similar secured wool in
London has been less than half that of
similar secured wool under protection in
the United States, or in other words,
the protected price of American wool
has averaged more than double the free
trade London price from 1867 to De-
cember, 1891. The extreme right hand
column gives the percentage of differ
ence between free wool in London and
the same wool under protection in the
United States for each year following
the passage of the tariff law of 1867, up
to and including the year 1891, The
average OF all these years shows thst the
average price of secured wool in London
has been 81 per cent. below the average
price of the same wool in the United
States, or, to reverse the statement, the
average price of secured American wool
under protection has been more than
double the free trade price in London
Wool growers who are dissatisfied with
the prices now current for wool can see
by the table that their wool if sold in
free trade London would have brought
only about one-half of the price which
they obtained in the United States. II
duties we're removed, the London price
would then be the American price, and
the latter could no longer average about
double the London price. as has heer
the case ever since the tariff law of 1861
was passed"

WHILE foreign rule has been the
crowning and all comprehending curse
of Ireland, and while landlOrdism has
been among its most potent ills, yet
British free trade, identical with the
tariff reform which the Democratic party
now seeks to inflict upon the United
States, was the underlying, if not the
immediate, cause of the terrible famine
of 1S46-47. Ireland, one year with an
other, produces sufficient food to fatten
more than double its present population;
yet among the working people their
poverty Is peFpetpal and famine period
ical. Since the destruction of Ireland's
manufacturing industries under the op-
Grafton of free trade, agriculture is the
only important industry of the people;
and a country devoted to agriculture
alone is a country already doomed, while
a nation whose industries are healthily
diversified is proof against famine and
decay.
1t is not difficult to understand why
England favors free trade with America;
nor is it to be wondered at that among
people of great intelligence and of
many minds like the Americans England
should find many devoted believers in
her plausible theories; but it is mystery
of mysteries why Irishmen, of all other
citizens in America, should be relied on
to vote in American elections precisely
as England would have them vote, and
that when Grover Cleveland sounds the
drumbeat of England calling for soldiers
to fight her battles at the American
ballot box those who most cheerfully
respond to the roll call should be the
Sons and kindred of Irish exiles, driven
from their Island home by that same
free trade policy; why those whose own
factories have been destroyed by English
free trade should be so anxious to vote
upon tn .mselves and their fellow citizens
the same calamity in America or desir-
sus to vote themselves into the condi-
tions from which they fled when they
left their own green land with tears in
their eyes and curses on their lips.

Palo Altos Relatives.


Senator Stanford has three full broth
ers to Palo Alto, record 10S4. Dame
Winnie, dam of the dead champion, is a
thoroughbred mare, and at Woodburn,
where she was bred, it was not dreamed
that she would ever become distinguish
ed as dam of trotters. She is chest
nut, by Planet (son of Revenue and Nina,
by BOston), out of Liz Mardis, by Glen
cOe; second dam by Fannie G. (granddam
of Alma Mater, by Margrave, and third
Lancess, by Lance, by American Eclipse.
These are strains which figure in many
prominent trotting pedigrees and it was
largely because of being bred as she is
that she was bought for Palo Alto Stock
farm In 1879 Dame Winnie produced a
bay filly, by Smuggler, which died before
showing speed. In 1881 she dropped to
General Benton the bay colt jim, who was
gelded and sold, who took record of
2:2315 and then passed from the ranks
of the living. In 1882 came Palo AL
to and in 1888 his full sister, Gertrude
Russell, who has record of 2:2315. Tie
produce of 1888 was bay colt, Diavola,
by Thoroughbred shannon, and in 1886
the bay filly Wilma, by Electioneer, was
foaled. Paola, by Electioneer, appeared
in 1887 and he has taken a record this
season of 2;a0. Paeoler, his brother, was
dropped in 1890, and the produce of
Dame Winnie, is the yearling bay colt by
ElectiOneer.
