THE FREE TRADE PRICE OF WOOL.

THE FREE TRADE PRICE OF WOOL.
Justice, Bateman & Co.
A comparison of the published grease
prices of American and foreign woods
conveys in most instances but vague
idea of the relative value of fleeces, on
account of the widely varying grease
condition of the clips of different nations.
All woods are finally brought to a uniform
level of value by being sorted, secured,
carded and combed into the highly puri-
fed article of commerce called "Top."
In the Free Trade markets of the world
woods are valued on the basis of their
yield of "Top," selling abroad to-day at
40 cents for No Cos Botany Top.
American woods are also valued accord
ing to their yield of "Top," selling at
the present time under the Mckinley
law at IS cents per pound for No. COS,
as against 40 cents in Europe for the
same article. AS the clip of 1898 is to
be purchased of growers on an average
of more than six months before the
same can be sold as cloth, the probable
value of that cloth at the time of the
contemplated Tariff changes must now
be considered, as the time for purchas-
ing new wool is at hand. Much uncer
tainty exists in the market as to what
will be proper price to pay for the
coming clip, in view of the fact that
before it can reach the consumers as
wearing apparel, serious reductions in
the Tariff are likely to occur. One of
the calculations that has been publicly
made is based on the following figures:
The worlds supply of clothing wool lex
elusive of carpet wools) is about $780,,
100000 pounds, one-seventh of which,
say 330,000,0O0 pounds, is raised in the
United States. 1t is assumed that with
the present duty wholly removed from
wool, the price would settle to a level
somewhere near the average of present
prices in all countries. Taking No. COS
Botany Tops at 40 cents per pound in
England for illustration, as the basis of
free wool, and American No. COS Top at
S5 cents, the present price here. the
average would be about as follows:
Say parts foreign free wool, No cos
Botany Tops, at 40 cents. 80
Say part American No. cos Tops at. S5

PUBLIC OPINION.

THE "DUrY" OF SMASHING THINGS.
New York Press.
When the most persistent and most
successful office seeker in American
public life issued his recent proclamation
notifying his fellow Office seekers that
he proposed to keep them at distance
hereafter, he based his action on the
following statement:
4 due regard for public duty which
must be neglected if present conditions
continue, and an observance of the lin
itatioDs placed upon human endurance
oblige me to decline from and after this
date all personal interviews with those
seeking appointments to office, except
as l, on my own motion, may especially
invite them.
There is no doubt whatever as to what
constitutes the 'public duty" referred to
by Mr.. Cleveland. The free trade Pres
ident wants to get rid of hearing the
applications of his fellow Democrats in
order to gain time to prepare the "Ad-
ministration bill'' that is to let in an
overwhelming volume of pauper made
foreign goods to displace American
products. The Golden Club Cabinet
and the Cobden Club President must not
be rudely disturbed in the work of de-
vising ways and means to cut down the
wages of American labor. The Demo
cratic Administration is pledged to make
the American workingman poorer and
the European monopolists richer; and it
finds it necessary to take pains with the
task to insure that it is done thoroughly.
This is the duty" to which the would
be autocrat in the White House refers.
The work of destroying American indus
tries is of paramount Importance in the
eyes of the Cleveland Administration.
