The Republican shifts its ground

The Republican shifts its ground.
1t started in to prove two PROPOSE
t1ons, i. e.: That the Mckinley bill
raised the price Of farm products,
such as wool, wheat, oats, barley,
potatoes, ETC., and lowered the price
of goods consumed by the farmer.
Also that said "bill" was the only
thing that would help the North
Dakota wool grower. The COURIER
DEMOCRAT has proven without a
doubt the absurdity of the Republi-
cans position on both propositions.
In despair 1t makes last effort and
leaves the tsNorth Dakota farmer
to shift for himself and turns to the
republican cry of sprotection fol
American workmen." The CoUR
1ER-DEMocRAT respectfully calls the
attention sof the Republican to,the
Carnegie steel works as sample Of
the ssprotection" afforded American
workingmen and the ssincrease" il
wages they receive by reason o1
the "blessed'' tariff.

GLADSTONE WINS.
The Liberals Feel That Their Success
Is Assured.


LONDON, July 1O.-The few conser-
vative papers published on Sunday
take {. lugubrious view of the elections
thus far. They express no confidence
of Tory majority, but attempt to COLI
sole themselves by the reflections that
the liberal majority will be small and
composed of discordant and unruly
elements. The impression IS sought
to be conveyed that after a brief and
stormy season of control the Liberals
will fail to carry their pet measure of
home rule in the form insisted upon by
Mr.. Gladstone, and that fresh appeal
to the country will be taken.
Mr.. Gladstone has had a harder fight
than he expected, but to liberals of
strong faith and to students of political
meteorology ultimate success was not
in doubt. The latter class felt rather
discouraged Tuesday evening, when, las
tho polling returns came rolling in over
the wires, it was seen that seats which
were liberal in 1885 and went tory in
1885 had not been won and that the
tories were actnall gaining unexpected
victories in constituencies thought to
be safely liberal.

Driven to the wall On tn: tariff
questioN by the irreflMable farts
presented by the CoUR1ER-DEMocEAr
it knows not which way to turn.
Here is its latest on the wool ques-
tion-not hurridly produced, but the
combined result of three great brains
and after mature delibcration-in
answer to the remark of the CouR-
len DEMOCRAT a short time ago
that the Mckinley bill did not pro-
tcct the wool grower, inasmuch as
the price of wool has steadily de-
clined since the new duty went into
effect:
The CoU Observation-Disclosures
! editor, by the W:ty, is not ''isasane''-
discovered that wool sold last week in
Manitoba at just One-half cent per
pound less than it did in North Dakota.
Thus making it quite easy for even an
''insane'' man to see that if the raw
material is the same price in Manitoba
and Dakota. and WOOlen clothing
dearer on this side that the increase in
price goes to the American Workmen
who work the wool into cloth and
clothing. And that by manufacturing
the cloth in this country instead Of
England or Canada maintains all i'm
mense number OF well-paid workmen
in the United States, who must be fed
by the American farmer.
In the first place it will be noticed
that the ''editors'' have decided on
a change of base and are now will
ing to let the North Dakota farmer
look after his own interests while
they take up the exploded theory Of
'sprotection to American labor
Secondly, they admit that the
price of woolen goods is materially
increased by the tariff, and claim
that the increase goes to American
labor.
Let us see if they can make this
claim good.
The iron and steel industries have
received the careful "attentlon" of
Protectionists for many years and
long ago grew out of their swaddllng
clothes and from 'sinfants" have be-
come veritable giants-politically
and otherwise.
The Mckinley bill raised the
tariff still higher so that these in
dustries might live, and with the
avowed intention that American
workmen would receive the benefits.
| And what is the result?
Three weeks ago from Prince
Carnegie, in his castle in Scotland
comes the order to reduce the wages
of his workmen, some 5000 in num-
Der, from 40 to % per cent.
The men rebel. They are making
| but bare subsistence now and the
proposed reduction is but the fore
runner of misery and starvation fo1
themselves and families.
Prince Carnegie issues orders tt
discharge every mothers son O.
, them and replace them with non
, union labor.
r To enforce this order 800 Pinker
: ton bloodhounds and assassins ar
3 hired and the consequence is that OF

"(Signedl MARIA EGAN BLAINE"
On reading the note my son de-
clared: 81 will not follow her; told
her l would not when she made the
threat"
''Forty-four days after this wilful de-
parture she returned to my house, ac-
companied by her mother, my grandson
and his nuree. At the moment of their
arrival there were in the house only
Mrs. Blaine, who was i'll, and
the servants. Mrs. Blaine at once
arose, dressed and went down stairs,
haying previously instructed her maid
to do everything required for their COM
fort. This was the only time she ever
met Mrs. Nevins. Neither lady ad-
vanced to greet her; no hand was ex-
tended to her; but from Mrs. Nevins,
seconded by her daughter, came charges
against her son and herself, so insulting
and violent that servant was called in
for the frankly expressed purpose of act
ing as restraint upon the elder visitor.
On this brief stay of two weeks with
US, and on this one last visit OF two
hours, rest all the substantiations OF
the statements of the judge at Dead
wood.
Before leaving for the west had adj
vised with Mrs. Blaine, in the event OF
the return of her daughter-in-law, and
she acted upon my advice. Not word
since the separation had been written
by her, nor was she seen by my sons
wife, except on the street in New York, ,
when not word was exchanged be-
tween them.
My son was entirely free; NO restraint
was attempted, desired or needed to in
sure the separation. On the day OF his
wife's departure, he was as strongly de-
termined, as upon the day OF her di
vorce not to resume his relations with
her.
Far be it from me to hold my son
blamelees, though all things considered,
l hold him more sinned against than
SHINING. But his mother, at no time in
thought, word or deed, attempted to
separate the man and wife. On the
contrary, she did not fail by liberality,
consideration and extenuation to foster
iii every rsaetticahle way their happi-
ness, if happiness to them had been pos
sible. %

THE SPRINGER WOOL BILL.
Majority and Minority Reports to Be-
Presented Today.

Majority and Minority Reports to Be
Presented Today.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-The reports oil
the majority and minority of the house
committee on ways and means, to &C.
company the Springer wool bill, have
been prepared and will be presented to
the house tomorrow.
The majority report was prepared by
Springer; the minority, by Burrows of
Michigan.
The majority report says the McKin-
lev bill provides enormous rates OF
duties, many of them prohibitory and
all unreasonably high. ''There is no
good reason" Gays the report, "for
maintaining such high taxes upon arti-
cles so necessary to the health
and comfort of the people. Twenty
five per cent was all the protection the
wool manufacturers in 1876 asked. But
it seems in the case of woolen goods, as
all others, the amount of protection re-
quired increases from year to year. As
industries get older and better estab-
lished, more protection is de-
manded. The wool growers of
1867 believed the imposition
of high tariffs on wool would secure
them control OF the home market, The
result proves how greatly they were
mistaken and how Intellectual the law
has been to produce the condition they
desired; AS TO its effect on prices,
wool has quite steadily declined
from 1867, when it was worth
81 cents per pound. The Mckinley act
increased the duty on wool, an average
of l cent per pound. The result has
been fall in the price of to cents a
pound instead of rise. The result OF
twenty-five years of experiment has
been reduction of one.half in
the number of sheep in the states east
of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers,
and reduction of one-half in the price
of wool. Nor have the manufacturers
of wooden goods been benefited by the
imposition of high duties on wool and
wooden goods.
Notwithstanding the high protection
accorded manufactures of woolen goods,
the quality of such goods has deterio-
rated from year to year since the dis
covery of machinery for convert
ing woolen rags into substi-
tutes for wool. The high protective
tariff on wool has the direct effect Of
limiting the demand fer American
woods, for the reason that under such
tariff neither domestic woods nor manu-
factures of wool can be exported and
sold at profit.
Only that amount of domestic wool
will be purchased and consumed which
is required to mix with foreign wool to
produce the required quality and guam
tity. 1t is not unreasonable to assume
that lower duties upon these articles
would cause some increase of i'm
portation, for the reduction of duties
would cheaper the price to consumers,
thus largely increasing the consump.
ton; increased consumption would call
for increased home manufacture, as we'll
as enlarged importations.
by substituting economy for taxation
we shall run no risk Of causing deficit
in the government revenues, while lift
ing grievous load of taxation from
some of the plain necessaries of life."
The minority report says that from
both the wool consumers and manu-
facturers there comes an almost unani-
NOUS sentiment that the law should be

Associated Press Dispatches.
BERLIN, Feb. 28.-This afternoon the
streets presented highly animated ap-
pearance. They were filed for the most
part with promenaders and sightseers,
the gangs of rowdies and roughs being
absent.
Later, 6 80 p.m.-The situation is
greatly improved. The police have
completely regained the upper hand.
Large crowds continue to collect before
the imperial palace, but there is little
| difficulty in keeping them in motion. A
strong detachment of mounted police
| patrols the disturbed quarters. About
100 arrests were made today.
During the changing of the guard at
the imperial palace the draw bridge
connecting Unter den Linden with the
castle garden is closed to traffic until
the soldiers have passed. A similar
| spirit of precaution is observable re-
garding the appearance OF soldiers in
many of the main arteries of traffic
leading from the center of the city to
the suburbs.
The emperor, accompanied by the
members of his family, took his usual
drive in the Thiergarten today. He
was heartily cheered by the populace
all along the route. 1t is matter of
common remark that during the recent
disturbance the emperor and all the
members OF the imperial family always
met loyal reception whenever they ap-
peared in public. The troops, too,
have been warmly applauded by the
populace. This, it is said, proves con-
clusively that the late troubles have
not had their origin in personal hatred
of the emperor, and that even the dis
orderly portion of the populace had no
animus against the army.

repeats it's appeal to the members to
preserve order. The Socialist members

~
permitted to stand as it is. Not only
are growers and manufacturers bene-
flied by the law, but consumers have
shared the benefit. The people of the
United States find themselves able to
secure the woolens required at smaller
cost than ever before. The committee's
bill proposes to deprive the wool-grow-
ing industry of the United States at one
blow of the entire tariff protection it
has heretofore enjoyed.
Theleffect will be the complete land final,
abandonment of the effort to produce in
the United States the supply of wool
needed for the clothes of our people.
The bill does not mean cheaper wool for
the masses, bnt does mean the wiping
