ket figures with which TO tie up little
end OF its dropping calamity howl.
Forthwith a reporter was despatched to
the Calamity BolOJer's local wool stand
bys who are interested in buying wool
below the market price, if they can, to
''work up" that poor &c fuctuation into
a lengthy groan at the wool growers ex-
pense and the result was that over its
&c wall our neighbor put q

had happened to be cent advance as
most of the movements in the wool
markets have been lately the Calamity
HolUler would have either put it under
a one line head in small type into some
obscure corner, or left it out of its val
liable market quotations altogether.
That is the kind of friend to the far

'fIN-PLArE POLITICS.

The political tin-plate shutdown,
about which the calamity band has been
wailing aud grOaning so dismally Of
late, is one Of the thinest Of all the thin
political tricks that have been attempt
ed lately on the American people.
The men who went into the tin-plate
business did not do so with their eyes
shut. They expected a much deeper cut
in the duty than the new tariff made.
They did not put their money into a
business that depended for its existence
upon q tariff that was certain as fate TO
be changed as IL has been, aud it is the
sheerest nonsense to claim that the
present shut down is because the 80 per
cent protection given by the new tariff
is not enough, or that the shut down is
for anything bu, political effect.

FREE WOOL.
Ns,o York World.

Ns,O York World.
For twenty years we have been told
by the political wool-growers OF Ohio
that high duties on foreign woods
caused high prices for domestic wools'
and that free wool would punch the
bottom out of prices and ruin our
sheep industry. Well, notwithstsnd-
ing that wool was protected from 1865
to 1890 by duties varying from 40 TO
60 per cent, prices declined almost
constantly, the average decline being
about 40 per cent. Since 1890, when
Mckinley increased duties, the decline
has been unusually rapid and have
averaged between 40 and 90 per cent
Now for the first time in seventy
eight years all woods are free. Have
prices tumbed, as was prophesied by
Delauo, Harpster and Lawrence? The
following quotations are from the Wool
and Gotten Reporter:
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1894-10-04
Grades.

This is indeed a strange phenomenon
for the consideration OF national wool
growers associations. Prices Of foreign
woods have declined about 40 per cent,
while prices of domestic woods have ad-
vanced about 10 per cent during the last
two months.
In discussing the New York market
the RcpOrter saws: There is consid-
cradle nibbling, but few heavy bites
The trouble is that holders
are firm in their views and not ID
mood for granting concessions-and
they are justified in being firm. The
Dr1y Goods Economist of two days later
verifes these predictions. 1t says:
prices remain firm and transactions
are large but well distributed. Domes-
tic woods are receiving considerable at
tention and are selling well. There has
been q decided increase in inquiries for
foreign woods, with some transactions
OF Importance. There is feeling OF
confidence throughout the trade, ana
some predict higher values"
The result thus far is in exact accord
with the Democratic claim and directly
contrary TO the predictions Of the Wool
Growers National Association. The
Ohio prophets met again Few days
ago aud passed some direfnl resolutions,
which, as they are based upon theories
and are contrary TO the facts now
demonstrated, will have no weight With
the voters this fall. After having de-
ceiyed him so often. protectionists ought
20 be ashamed to look an honest sheep
in the face.

Hence, Colonel HART may have ex-

il is very easy to see how untaxed raw
material must boom wooden manufacture
ing and increase production, which
necessarily means cheaper and better

GRANT AND WILSON.

In another column will be found a
highly interesting and very meaty COM
munication from Mr.. J. B. FINLEY, of
Petersburg, anent the wild shrieks Of
he Republican organs and politicians
over the banquet rendered Hon. WILL
LIAM L. WILSON by the London Cham
ber Of Commerce, and these organs
and politicians vicious appeal to igno.
! rance and prejudice in the frantic eff
fort to make political capital out OF the
occurrence against Mr.. WILSON.
Mr.. FINLEY simply parallels Mr.. WILL
SONS action with the exactly similar
performance of no less eminent per-
sonage than ex-President U. S. GRANT,
and very neatly and appropriately makes
extensive quotations from JOHN Rus
SELL YoUNG's around the World With
Grant history OF Grants famous tour
of the globe in 1877.
1t will be remembered that Gen.
GRANT was nowhere welcomed so cor
daily or entertained so handsomely as
in England, and be was entertained by
English Boards Of Trade and Chambers
of Commerce In a way that in compari-
son puts the banquet to Mr.. WILSON in
the shade, and, moreover, Gen. GRANTS
remarks on these occasions, both In
substance and spirit, were identical
with those of Mr.. WILSON. Our cores
pondent quotes extensively from
Gen. GRANTS addresses at these
dinners and they make highly
interesting reading just now because Of
their marked similarity to Mr.. VIII.
SONS London remarks, particularly on
the tariff question, u pom wh'ch topic Gen.
GRANT spoke with even more fervor In
advocacy OF free trade and particularly
OF free commercial intercourse between
England and America.
Yet GRANT was not berated on &C
count of advocating Legislation in be-
half OF England" by the Republican
demagogues, who are now trying by
means OF very small and contemplate
politics to make capital against Nh.

THE l. P. SYNOD.
ONLY ROUTINE BUSINESS TRANSACTED AT
YESTERDAYS SESSION.
Interesting Conferences in the Afternoon and
EVsning-Ths Synod Will Conclude Its
Work To-Day and Adjourn.

The second business session OF the
Ohio Synod of the United Presbyterian
Church was held yesterday morning.
There was a good attendance of the
ministers OF the different Presbyteries,
there being very few aosentees. The
visiting clergymen are stopping at the
homes OF members of the congregation Of
the U. P. Church.
The Synod was called 10 order at $50
o'clock by the moderator, Rev. Mr.. Nc
Murry, of Toronto, O., who conducted
the devotional exercises with which the
meeting was opened. The morning SEES
sion was given up TO routine matters.
The real business of the Synod will be
transacted to-day. One OF the most i'm
portant matters to come up for consid-
GRAFTON will be the appeal OF j. K. An
drews. of Guernsey county, PresbYtery
of Muskingum. The history OF the case
is interesting. Mr. Andrews persistently
held and preached that Saturday is the
Sabbath day instead ofSunday. A session
of the congregation was held, at which
he was expelled from the church. He
appealed to the Presbytery, which sus-
tanned the action Of the session. He
next appealed to higher court-the
Synod. The committee TO which the
matter presented It's report yesterday,
and final action will be taken in the
case to-day. IL is almost certain that
the decision Of the lower courts will be
affirmed by the Synod. The committee
found that Mr.. Andrews sought to
undermine and destroy his public pro-
fession, and n effect, read himself out
of church.

Farming Is by long odds the most i'm

has always been the most neglected by
our national lawmakers. The farmer
has been made to bear practically all

Under Republican misrule, corruption,
robbery and, worst Of sll, the high tariff
burdens which that party put upon
