The wool industry Of the United States
was doing well until the blight OF threat
ened free trade in wool fell on it.-Inteu'-
gsHeer,
has free trade in wool been threat
sning" for the past quarter Of centu-
ry9
Under free trade in wool the price
was fifty cents a pound. After twenty
six years Of high protection capped by
the highest tariff ever known, it is
twenty cents pound.
Will Col. HART rise and point out
where the threat comes in? Says
he:
There cannot 10 in the whole country a
S~Sll groWer with sease enough 10 eat When
be As hungry who does not know 10 an aO-
sOlute certainty that il there had been no
fear Of a change downward in the wool du-
ties there would have been no such shrink
age in price as there has been since last
year.
Evidently our neighbOr does not be-
lleve the wOol-growsr has any sense at
all. Was it "fear Of a change down
ward" that caused the shrlnkage in
price that Immediately followed the in
crease Of wool duties two years ago?
At that time it was claimed by MCKIN-
LEY, and seemed probable, that his bill
would stand for ten years. Then, no
one anticipated the mighty landslide
that came two years later in 1892, and
there seemed to be absolutely no hope OF
wrestling the Senate from the Republi-
lIcans. There was then no possible
ground for ''fear" among WOOL
growers, or wool buyers, or any other
class, Of ga change downward in wool
duties" Yet wool prices dropped just
the same-and they have been dropping
ever since. They have been dropping,
dropping. dropping since the first Re-
publican tariff was placed on wool in
1867.
Under free trade in wool the price was
from two to three and four times as
high as It has been under the Mckinley
tariff.
With these facts we'll known TO the
people what aStonishingly clumsy and
transparent demagogy it is that at
tempts at this late day to credit it
to the result Of the election a few
months ago and the "fear of change
downward in the wool duties~
Fie, Colonel HART! To exhibit no
more art in your political fim-ham
game than this is to confess your total
,pnworthiness to handle the rudder Of
modern high-tarlff organ.

INTERPRETATIONS GO.

Attorney General OLNEY has decided
that the appropriations made by
the Government for the Worlds Fair
have not been rendered unavailable
because Of the Worlds Fair Company's
violation Of contract in opening the
Fair on Sundays, except in SO far as no
more money should be paid to the Ex-
position Company.
The Attorney General points out
that Congress passed no law compelling
Sunday closing, but simply made it a
condition OF the governments grant.
Since the condition has been violated,
Of course the government should pay
out no more money, but the appropria-
tions already made are not thereby rem
dered unavailable.
Mr.. OLNEY believes it would be an
act Of bad faith particularly toward
foreign nations which are exhibitors
and are here more or less directly under
the auspices OF the United States, for
our own government to withdraw from
the exposition. He further points out
that II would be a great and unneces-
sary waste to close the costly exhibit
Of the government almost ct the outset
of the Fair.
The Attorney General is unQuestiona-
bly, right. Uncle Sam eannot afford to
DO the baby act.

THE DELINQUENT LIST.
Some People More or Less Indignant over
It's Publication, Yesterday.


It's Publication, Yesterday.
The first publication Of the Ohio
county delinquent tax list, under the
law passed at the last session OF the
Legislature, was made in the i1lteLltge1l-
cer yesterday morning.
There was abouG $500 or $500 names
on the roll, all being set down as hav-
ing failed to pay up the little annual
bill of the Sheriff, and when the list
had been scanned over by those citizens
about one out of four Of the voters OF
the Countrywide had been chaIked
down as unable to pay from one cause
or another, or who had neglected to
pay, although able, there was consid-
cradle feeling manifested.
AS soon as the office of ex-Sheriff
Steenrod was opened the published cit
liens began TO file in, and they general
ly made an energetic and prolonged
kick before they went out. Some
claimed they had never been asked TO
pay the bill, others that they had paid,
still others said they had seen the OFF,
cial notices published, but thought it
the business of the Sheriff or his depu-
ties to call around for the taxes if they
wanted them, etc. They ended up by
paying, however, and expressed the
earnest wish that their names would be
stricken from the list without the loss
Of unnecessary time.
The bills due are, for the most part,
small, the aggregate Of county taxes
owed being less than thousand dollars,
while the State taxes, including the
capitatlons, one for every name, will
probably foot up about four times
as much more. IL struck a good
many people as being remark
able thing that more than one
fourth of the voters Of the county
should be reported delinquent, and
when the Ex-Sheriff was asked regard
ing this, he said the listing of the vot-
ers, under the new State election law,
last fall, had placed.a good many extra
names upon the list and made the de-
linquents run up to figure largely in
excess OF thai Of other years.
The publication of the list will be
continued all the present week, in &C
cordance with law.
