Shoddy Wolf In Sleeps Clio hing.

It is quite certain that free wool and
low duties on woolens would eriously
injure if it would not be the death of
the shoddy industry in this country.
This fact is being made clearer every
day.
Mr.. F. Muhlhauser of Cleveland, the
proprietor of the largest shoddy mill in
the world, replies. in The Wool Reporter
of April 6, to letter in previous num-
Der from certain Mr.. Osborne of
Wyoming, who claims that protection
made wool cheaper"
Mr.. Muhlhauser not only gives the
certain Mr.. Osborne fearful drub-
bling, but laughs at the Reform club and
the members of congress who are at
tempting to revise the tariff downward.
He says "this whole question will turn
out the greatest farce of the nineteenth
century"
Now, it SO happens that the certain
Mr.. Osborne" is not only the governor
of Wyoming, but is large woolgrower,
who favors free wool to provide better
markets for American woods. It is pre-
sumed that Mr.. Osborne understands his
business as Mr.. Muhlhauser understands
his shoddy business. There is conflict
Of interests. Mr.. Muhlhauser wants
the importation of foreign woods pre-
vented SO that our manufacturers will
be compelled, in order to give their cloths
a soft finish, to mix shoddy instead of
foreign woods with our own woods. Mr..
Muhlhauser does not dare to give his ex-
act reasons for favoring high duties on
woods. He knows it would injure his
cause, just as the circular letter Of the
shoddy and rag men in 1888, declaring
for high duties and for Harrison and
Morton, undoubtedly opened the eyes Of
many woolgrowers, though not in time
to turn them against protection until the
elections of 1890 and 1892. Mr.. Null
hauser, therefore, takes pains to make
his plea in the interest of woolgrowers-
sort Of shoddy wolf masquerading in
sleeps clothing.
Take off your wool mask, Mr.. Null
hauser, and let the people see your shod-
dy suit. If they then prefer your indus
try to the wool and wooden industries and
clear shoddy suits to cheap all wool suits,
they will stand by you and your bogus
wool business; if not, they may give the
real wool business Show. Real sheep
are suspicious of you, and thousands
have already broken out of the Repub-
ican fold because you are there.

WHO MADE THE BlLL2

Men WHO Have Devoted Their Time and
Money to the Cause of Reform.
The committee appointed by the New
York Reform club to draft a proposed
tariff bill consists of E. Ellery Ander-
son, Hon. Charles S. Fairchild, Thomas
G. Shearman, Professor David A. Wells,
Hon. John Dewitt Warner, Everett P.
Wheeler and Jacob Schoenhof.
Mr.. Anderson, the chairman, Is an ex-
president of and big contributor to the
Reform club. Mr.. Fairchild was secre-
tary Of the treasury during Cleveland's
first administration and is now president
Of the Reform club. Mr.. Shearman has
for third Of a century been one Of the
most successful of customs attorneys in
New York. He was Beecher's attorney
during the famous Beecher-Tilton trial
He is eminent as lawyer, statistician
and philanthropist. Professor Wells has
written more valuable books and PAM
phlets on the tariff question than any
other American. His Recent Economic
Changes is regarded az one of the two
or three great books Of this generation.
Congressman Warner is widely known as
writer and speaker on tariff and fnan-
cial questions. He is the author of many
Of the Reform clubs most telling PAM
phlets, and more than any other man has
been the backbone of the Reform club
since its origin in 1887. Mr.. Wheeler is
well known as lawyer, writer and
speaker on economic questions. He Is
also an ex-president Of the Reform club.
Mr.. Schoenhof was consul to Tunstal,
England, under Cleveland and is the au-
thor of several works ON the tariff and
wage question.
1t would be difficult to get together
seven men better qualified to frame a
tariff bill than these gentlemen. They
are all successful business men; all have
studied the needs of the people for many
years; from their intimacy with different
industries they know about what reduc-
tons are necessary and safe; they owe
nothingpolitically to any protectedmanu-
facturers and are in league with no clique
of oficeholders or spoilsmen; they have
demonstrated their unselfshness and de-
votion to principle by giving their mon
ey, time and thought to the tariff and
other reforms; they have no ak to grind
in proposing new tariff bill and do so
only to educate the people, keep the
Democratic party in line and see that
the promises made to the people are car
ried out in good faith.
But little impression can be made upon
such a committee by calling it's members
theorists" ''cranks," "hobby riders" or
''imbeciles," and yet protectionists are
compelled to put up some kind of opposi-
ton to a bill that would actually stop
the greater part of the tariff robbery.
Their case is certainly desperate.

more wages rnan European labor, the
"reformers'' propose to meet that great
difference by a IS per cent duty. OF
course this would afford no protection,
nor is it intended to do so. The COM
mittee plainly state that the object of
the bill is to bring into this market the
largest importations. They neglect to
explain where the hundreds of thousands
of workers now supplying the home
market from American mills are to find
employment when the, goods they make
are brought from England, France and
Germany. York Press.

1t is the compulsory silver coinage
law that is playing the mischief with
the national finances. The New Y ork
World says:
Whatever is done, either by banks
or the treasury, will be done to give to
congress an opportunity to repeal the
Sherman act. SO long as that act is on
the statute book the condition of the
countrys finances must continue to be
precarious and threatening. The law
must be repealed in accordance with
the promises of the Democratic plat
form and Mr.. Carlisle's assurance of
the administration intention to strive
earnestly for the repeal has done more
to restore confidence than anything
except the presidents promise to pay
all the governments obligations in
gold.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press, the great

The st. Paul Pioneer Press, the great
republican paper of the northwest
wants free trade with Canada. In a
leading editorial upon Reciprocity with
Canada, it says:
The people of the American North
west fully reciproeate the desire of
their neighbors of the Canadian North
west for fuller and freer commercial
intercorse. They fully appreciate the
mutual advantages which would result
to both sections of the Northwest by
the removal of the restrictions which
now obstruet the natural course and
tendencies of trade between them. 1t
is for these reasons that widespread
interest will be felt by the people of
Minnesota, North Dakota and other
Northwestern states in the reciprocity
convention, which is to be held in st.
Paul next month, and it will no doubt
attract large number of representa-
tives from the Canadian provinces.
Not few conventions have been held
upon this subject heretofore, and their
influence has not been lost. They
have aided in forming a strong, wide
spread sentiment in all the northern
belt of American states in favor of a
beral treaty of commercial reciprocity
with Canada. The people of these
states need only to be more thoroughly
awakened to the Importance to their
own manufacturing commercial in
terests of opening the markets to Can
a la to American products to bring a
pressure to bear on congress strong
enough to bring about a satisfactory
treaty of commercial reciprocity.
