An Echo from Free Trade Times.

New HAVEN, Conn.,, July, 1892.
EDITOR AMERICAN ECONOMIST: should like
to let you know of q little occurrence that hap
pened when l was a boy OF twelve, which re-
calls wildly how free wool benefits the farmer.
It was soon after the Walker Tariff began to
cast its blighting shadow over the country. I
was at that time living In one Of tie most
prosperous sections OF the State Of New York,
and the farmers had got mic ly started In the
sheep industry but when they were ready to
sell their wool the price was not only very low,
but the demand was limited; in fact, 1t re-
quired about as much labor to sell their clip as
1t had to produce it, the country being flooded
with foreign wool.
The result was the farmers became discour-
aged. killed of their sheep. dried the car
cases down for tallow, aud sold the legs Of
mutton in the village for t,co cents per pound,
Thus ended the sheep industry In that and
probably other sections Of the State. but long
befors It was again started the cunning Eng
lishman had raised the price Of wool to
higher figure than 1t was under the Protective
Tariff OF theprevious four years.
HopinAour Tariff Reform" farmers Will
read andponder awhile over these facts.

In spite OF the general distress throughout
the country. the Dem Ocrats were so thorough

Trade. that they persisted in maintaining the
low Tarin and foreign goods continued
flooding the markets, people were unemploy-

consequence of the enormous i'm portations.

It continued:

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

That the punishment provided by
law for murder IN Michigan is inetfec-
tive and insufficient has been for some
time apparent. The frightful increase
IN the number of murders within the
past year has served to arouse the pub
lie TO the truth of this fact. The
Toronto News, IN discussing crime and
punishment, says with force that 10 is
the supreme fact that the life of the
murderer will be suddenly and forcibly
terminated which does and must con-
stitute the lettering element in capital
punishment. Few men wrought up to
the point of murder will stop to con-
sider the details of the punishment
when the risk of losing their own lives
has failed to check their evil passions.
In any case society would never toler-
Justice demands that life shall be
the forfeit OF life, and public safety
necessitates the removal of those DOM
mated by murderous impulses; but
mercy steps in and urges that this shall
be done as quickly and painlessly as
possible. The death penalty can never
lose its tsrrors. The man who has lost
all desire to live becomes suicide, not
murderer, except in few extreme
cases. The benefit. to be derived from
