On Feb. 1, at the port of New York,
there were 1,908,274 pounds of wool
cloths, valued at 81, 250, 029, and 1882
800 square yards Of wooden dress goods,
worth 81 ,569, or, waiting for the Wilson
bill to become law, SO as to compete with
the product Of the American mills and
reduce the value Of American labor.
The fear of free trade in wool caused
a decrease of z, 225, 536 in the number of
sheep in the United States last year and
total loss of $50, 1913, 154 in the value of
all our focks. In this connection it is
interesting to note that on Feb there
were %, 669,914 pounds of foreign wool
waiting in bond at New York alone for
the remission of the duty SO that it can
rush in and help to glut the wool market
and hasten the ruin of the American
farmers.
Wrapper tobacco to the extent OF
$3.50, 1893 pounds, worth 1887, 118, and
1921 800 pounds of other leaf tobacco,
worth $2,G76, 1924, were lying in bond at
New York, Feb. 1, waiting for lower du-
ties.
Nearly 100000 pounds of foreign
salt We're stored in bond, Feb. /, at New
York alone. When this is admitted free
of duty, it will not be OF much use to the
sheep farmers whose stock is being
Killed off by the free traders.

Wilson on Hose.

In the Wilson tariff bill we find that
section 273 reads as follows:
Collars and cuffs and shirts and all
articles Of wearing apparel of every de-
scription not specially provided for in
this act, composed wholly or in part Of
linen, and linen hydraulic hose, IS per
cent ad valorem.
The great work Of tariff reform ap-
pears to have transformed the hydraulic
hose" of the Mckinley tariff into an ar
ticle Of wearing apparel for Professor
Wilson. We must confess to degree Of
ignorance as to the exact member of the
body that hydraulic hose should en-
brace. AS it appears in close association
with 'collars and cuffs and Shirts" it
might be regarded as new species Of
Cleveland collar. But we also find that
it is allied with ''all articles Of wearing
apparel of every description" which in
wolves greater degree Of mystery.
Wilson attired in hydraulic hose,
But why he wears it nobody knows.
1t may be to lessen his cares and his woes,
To keep tepd his toes or the end of his nose.
Does he carry it round wherever be goes
To ward off attacks from political foes?
Does he wear it by day or when in repose?
And how he gets in it the Lord only knows.

Congress and the Country.

Each succeeding week Of the present
session of congress demonstrates more
and more forcibly the utter incompe-
tence Of the majority to regulate itself.
Unseemly squabbling, ignorance OF man
agement, inability to compel quorum,
even when it has so large a majority,
lack Of leadership, failure to formulate
any policy of action, are all SO glaringly
apparent that it has become an .'object
lesson" to the people that is equally
instructive as the mischievous and de-
structive free trade Wilson bill.
Men are asking everywhere through
out the country if this can be the party
that is in charge Of the national admin
istration-a party that with so large a
majority is unable to govern itself.
What then can be expected of its ma
tional administration? Setting aside all
questions of free trade or protection,
there are thousands Of men who voted
in 1892 to elect those who are now in
power who are now positively afraid for
their country.
They reason, and they reason rightly,
that if the leaders Of this party, which
has so large majority, are unable to af-
ford protection for itself, into what de-
plorable condition must the country fall
when left in such hands. These good
people forget, however, that the majori-
ty does not represent q party of protec-
ton, but that it is against protection and
in favor of a policy of prostration.
Hence it's maladministration N congress
is but a natural part Of such policy

support any movement no matter by whom in
stigated or championed having for its purpose
the adoption Of any such suicidal policy as is
said to be contemplated by the meeting to
which you have invited me.
DAVID d. HILL.
Senator Hill has ''no sympathy" with
free trade. He is mot an advocate Of
free trade" is earnestly opposed" to it.
He believes that such policy ''must in
evit%bly affect injuriously the welfare of
the country" He regards it as ''sui-
cidal policy" This is decidedly ''plain
and explicit" and unless Senator Hill has
political suicide in contemplation he
must cast his vote against the free trade
abortion known as the Wilson bill
The sentiments thus uttered by Gov
ernor Hill at Wheeling and Brooklyn
committed him to the protective policy
as fully as if he had distinctly approved
the great measure that bears the name
of William Mckinley of Ohio. No intel
ligent protectionist, from Washington to
Harrison, has ever claimed that tariff
schedules for the protection of American
industries should recognize the ode
mands of labor" further than to ''shield
our workmen from such competition as
can justly be considered as unfair
such competition as that SO aptly illus
trated by Governor Hill himself.
This is the sum and substance of tar
if for protection, in contradistinction to
the principle and policy of the Wilson
bill, the practical effect Of which, when
applied to the most important industries
of New York, will, in the language of
Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, ''simply reduce
the wages of labor to the foreign stand
ard"
Senator Hill is thus confronted with
duty to his constituents that affects not
only their highest welfare, but his own
consistency as an American statesman
and as an avowed exponent of correct
economic principles. If he was sincere
in the declarations uttered by him at
Wheeling in 1890 and at Brooklyn in
1892, he cannot conscientiously support
the pending policy OF prostraUion through
its measure for the suppression Of Amer
lean industries md the destruction of
American wages.-American Economist.

TROOPS HELD UNDER ARMS.
Alabama National Guardsmen Called

at birmingham,

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 23.--The
striking miners began their demonstra-
ton here to-day as promised. They
marched in at 8 o'clock 5000 strong,
and with bands moved to Lake
View, where speech-making at once
began, principally denunciatory of
II. F. Debardleben, manager Of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway Com
pany. Gov. Jones to-day established
headquarters in the Morris Hotel and is
in immediate connection with Sheriff
Morrow and the officers of the Second
Regiment, Col. Clark commanding,
The militia are all at their armories
under orders which brought every en-
listed man and officers out and are
ready to advance on the strikers
at moments notice. Seventy
five of the Bene Creek miners
wanted by officers for intimidation
came here and joined the demonstra-
ton. The marching strikers are q
mixed lot of whites and blacks, and
with the excitement growing as it is,
trouble is expected hourly. Dozens of
arrests are being made at the mines
here Tor intimidation, and sixty special
deputy sheriffs have been sworn in.

Almost IS months have elapsed since
the presidential elections Of 1892. By the
time the tariff monstrosity can have been
discussed by the senate, be recommitted
to the house and finally become law there
will be less than six months intervening
before the next general congressional
elections.
Should the tariff be changed it will be
fully three years before its free trade
features can be Obl1terated. We believe
that the best interests of the country and
of the people will be best served by pro-
hibiting the passage Of any new tariff
bill until after the elections in November
next. Give the people further chance
to declare themselves at the polls.
Every legitimate effort should be made
in the senate and elsewhere by all friends
of protection to stop the further progress
of the so called Wilson bill. After the
policy of prostration has been dragging
itself along it's destructive course for a
year and more the news of a postponement
of the tariff question till after the next
elections would be welcomed with shouts
and hailed with JOY in every corner Of
the land. The wheels of commerce
would revolve, labor would be busy, and
the voice Of the people would be decisive
in November that protection must stand.

TILLMAN LAW VOID.
South Carolina Dispensary Act Unconsti-
tutional.

South Carolina Dispensary Act Unconsti-
tutional.
COLUMBIA, S. c., April 19.-The Till
man state dispensary liquor law has
been declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court of South Carolina, two
justices concurring and one, Tillman
member of the supreme court, dissent
ing.
The ground on which the law is de-
clared unconstitutional is that it creates
q monopoly of the state. Justice Nc
Iver's decision declares the law
unconstitutional in nearly every
respect, and especially holds that it
cannot be upheld on any vital point.
The profit to the state feature is de-
clared to be vicious.
The law was enacted year ago and
provided for state control Of saloons
and the liquor trade.
The attempt to enforce the law by
state constables caused the recent riot
and bloodshed, the governor calling out
the state troops.
Gov. Tillman says that he is not talk
ing, that it is time only for action.

Totals. .$44 758, 487 Jos $50, 776 96,576
Under the present administration the
country has sustained loss exceeding
81 100000, 900 during each and every
month, and the greater is the monthly
loss the more we have of the free trad
ers. During February it amounted to
almost 100000, 900, whereas 10 months
ago the loss Of trade was represented
only by an insignificant, comparatively,
$100,000,000. This total loss Of $12,000,-
000,000 in Ii months represents a loss Of
$170 for every one of 10000, 900 persons.
1t covers the shrinkage in the buying
and selling of goods, the shrinkage in
quantity, the shrinkage in values. It
represents the great loss to labor through
the absence of the manufacture and han
ding Of goods. It represents the great
loss to transportation companies and
their employees. It represents the loss
to farmers for the products they have
sold.
But this loss Of $12, 900, 900, 900 does not
by any means represent the aggregate of
loss. 1t does not represent the shrinkage
in the value Of real estate, nor the shrink
age in the value of stocks and other in
vestments, nor the shrinkage in the value
of corn, wheat, wool, oats and other crops
that farmers have on hand and unsold and
which have not yet passed. through the
ordinary channels Of trade. It does not
represent the decrease in the value Of
iron, silver or other mines. It does not
represent last years loss of $312, 1885,
495 in the value Of tie live stock on
the farms. 1t does not represent the
nonpayment of interest on mortgages,
the foreclosures, the anxiety, worry
or vexation of spirit to the poor
strugglers who have been ruined.
1t does not represent the agony Of those
who have been unemployed nor the hard
ships of their families, and it does not
represent the terrible modification that
has been experienced by many who have
been brought face to face with starva-
ton.
These things are incidental to the
$12 900 900, 900 loss Of trade. The men
tai suffering cannot be estimated by
money value, although it is direct con-
sequence thereof and a direct result of
the mere existence of the present free
trade administration and its policy of
prostration. Surely the United States
senate will not permit such conditions
to be prolonged. Economist.

of their dead bodies in the woods near
the house with their heads battered in.
The little ones had wandered from the

Hill to the Rescue.

In the senate on Tuesday, March 6,
Senator Hill Of New York sized up the
tariff situation to nicely by offering
the following resolution:
Whereas, The secretary of the treasury has
announced a deficit of $7S,OOO,000 for the cur
rent fiscal year;
Whereas, House bill No. 1864, known as the
Wilson bill, proposes to discard S76,000.000
revenue from present tariff taxation and to
meet the double deficiency by new internal
and direct taxation; therefore
Resolved, That the senate finance commit
tee frame amendments to the said bill, omit
ting the said internal and direct taxes newly
proposed and instead thereof make provision
for sufficient revenue by tariffing other foreign
imports and otherwise revising the tariff with
out creating deficiency.
