The Argus alleged that if the Demo
cratic party was in control of this govern
ment the tariff tax" on food, clothing
and shelter would be taken off. Why
did not the Democratic party take it OF
in the Mills bill? That was regarded by
the Democracy as an ideal measure, and
was cordially supported by the Eastern
ARGUS. Did itremove the duties on food,

III the tariff is TAX and raises the price TO tne
consumer, how does it happen that the Ameri-
eau farmer has been getting less for his wool
since the Mckinley duty was put on, as the
Argus alleges has been the case? We should
like to have our esteemed contemporary explain
this Observation-Disclosures.
That the American wool grower has been
gettinga less price for his wool since the duty
on that product was increased by the Mckinley
bill is a fact. Mr.. Mckinley told the wool
higher price. But larger yield OF wool than
usual in this country lowered the price, Had
the crop OF wool been less than that of the pre-
eeding year the tariff would undoubtedly have
raised the price. The law of supply and de-
mand is greater than tariff law-Argus.
So it was the law of supply and demand
that overruled the Mckinley law and
made wool cheaper, was it? That law
operates of course to increase the price
when the demand increases and the sup
ply decreases, and diminish the price
when the supply increases and the
demand decreases. Then last year
the price of wool was kept down be-
cause the supply increased in larger pro-
portion than the demand. That would
be plausible explanation if the pre-
misses were true. But, esteemed con-
temporary, you said less than week
ago that not only had the price Of wool
decreased, but the importation of foreign
wool into this country had increased
since the passage of the Mckinley bill.
This negatives the assumption upon
which your explanation of low wool is
based, that the supply increased last
year in greater ratio than the demand
and shows that the exact reverse was the
case; for If more foreign wool was i'm
ported last year than before, it must have
been because thel domestic supply fell
farther short of the demand than before.
The tendency of that condition of things
would be to increase the price, not dim
inish it. So you see, esteemed contem-
porary, that you have yet failed to solve
the problem, why if the tariff is tax, as
you allege, the price of wool fell sunder
the high duty imposed by the Mckinley
bill. We hope you will make another
attempt. Perhaps it might be well to
state the problem more in detail, thus:
The Eastern Argus has declared within
| week that the effect of the duty on
wool imposed by the Mckinley law had
been to reduce the price of wool and to
increase the amount imported. Now if
these things be SO and the tariff is tax,
how has it happened that the price of
wool has fallen, and who has been pay
ing the duty on the foreign wool i'm
ported?

1t is little curious that our Demo-
cratic brethren who have been SO
wrought up by the labor troubles at
Homestead are so silent concerning the
troubles in the mining region of East
Tennessee. There are a great many
more elements that are calculated to
appeal to public sympathy in the latter
than in the former. The grievances of
the Tennessee miners are far more
genuine than those of the Homestead
strikers. But a small part of the Home
stead strikers had any grievance of their
own at all The wages of the most of
them were not affected by the new scale,
and those that were affected were only
affected in a slight degree. The Tennes-
see strikers, however, have been deliber-
ately subjected by the state to the COM
petition of convict labor which of course
is the cheapest kind of labor. Earning
buta miserable pittance at best even that
is threatened with reduction by reason
of this convict labor, and added to this is
the degradation of being compelled to
work with men who have been guilty of
heinous offences against the moral and
the civil law. Surprising the legislature
Of the state of Pennsylvania had opened
its prisons and leased to Mr.. Carnegie
their inmates to labor in his mills at
Homestead in competition with the free
worlsingmen employed there would not
our Democratic brethren have had some
thing to say aboutit? The English Ian
guage would have proved inadequate to
furnish them with epithets with which to
denounce the legislature and Mr.. Carne-
gle. Now this is precisely what the legisla-
ture of Tennessee has done. 1t has opened
it's prisons and sent out their inmates to
work alongside of the miners of East
Tennessee, and that too after the miners
had protested against the injustice of
such an act Yet our Democratic
brethren are as entirely silent on this
outrage on labor. Why? The reason is
not far to seek. The legislature of Ten
nesee which perpetrated this outrage is
overwhelmingly Democratic. The gov
ernor of the state is Democrat, and the
great mass of the voters are Democrats.
Here is a fine object lesson of the way in
which the Democracy treat the labo1ing
man when they do not happen to be in
pursuit of his vote.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

N---~>~'
Harrison is the first, and i
IS hoped that he may be til,
last President who ever per
sonally took charge of til,
canvas to get himself renom
mated, and it is only sine,
the Blaine b 90 m assumed
such dangerous proportions
that Mr.. Harrison so far for
got his dignity as to do so
But there is no question a
bout his having taken the
management OF his fight into
his own hands. Whether this
was because he doubted the
honesty or the political sa.
gacity of Secretaries Elkins
and Foster, or because he
feared they would carry out
their threats of revolt if he
transferred the management
OF his affairs to John G. New,
is more than yourcorrespon-
dent cares to say, but what
ever the cause, Mr.. Harrison
is personally bossing his own
political machine, telegrams
signed by him are being sent
to thes shaky delegates among
he"instructed," and he is to
be kept in instantaneous com
munication with the Mime
apolls convention by means
OF a private telegraph wire.
Since assuming command
Mr.. Harrison has instructed
his fighting men to hit every
Blaine head that comes up,
and his supporters are now
openly threatening t h a t if
they cannot nominate Har-
rison they can at least pre-
vent the nomination of Blaine
without a struggle 80 bitter
that he cannot accept with
o ut practically confessing
that his February letter was
but a shrewd move towarl
getting the nomination. Ex-
Gar Reed, who has made up
with Blaine, with whom he
has been on bad terms for
years, is shedding no tears
over the situation, as it is on
he programme for him to
all heir to the Blaine strength
t for any reason Mr.. Blaine
hall decide not to make use
II it for himself; he also ex-
'ects to be made temporary
hartman of the convention.
