AN UNsCARED wooL-GRowER

Mr.. Fisher, the Democratic candidate
for governor in Michigan. is lumber
man who cuts 1,5oO. 900 feet year, and
yet approves of putting lumber ON the
free list. He has $1,000 sheep on ranch
in Colorado, and says that both he and
the consumer are benefited bv putting
wool on the free list, he getting better
market for his wool. and they their woul-
ems at lower price. This seeming para
dox is due to the various grades of wool
and their uses in the production of the
different qualities of cloth.
The quality of wool depends on eli
matte conditions the wool of Ohio.
Montana. Colorado or Texas differing in
grade, and each suitable for some spe-
cial use. OF the woods produced in this
country the supply is greater than is
the demand for the fabrics that are
made from them, hence a congestion
and falling prices. The only further
use that they can be put to is in
mixing with foreign wool in tine pro.
ductiOn Of other and finer grades OF
cloth. The tax on the foreign wool in
creases the cost of the product and pre-
vents its export. The manufacturer is
limited to the home market. He cannot
export the cloth made from the mixture
of home and foreign wool. The result
again is congestion of the home market
with the products of the home wool
used alone and used in mixture with
foreign wool.
Free wool puts our manufacturer on
an equal basis with his foreign CON-
petitor; enables him to export his
fabrics made from the mixed home and
foreign woods. increases the demand
proportionateiy and Increases the price
of the home wool. besides largely in
creasing the employment of workers in
that industry. 1t is this that enables
MIR. Fisher to rejoice that the foreign
wool is admitted free of tax into this
country, not TO compete with his wool,
as the calamity shepherds wall. but to
help it to a wider use and a larger
market.

The purpose was to keep prices uniform.
The trust made the price for the entire

The price anywhere was The card rate,

The associations were formed. They
adopted rules. one OF which was that
the purchaser should pay for carriage

the trust added the withholding of fur

erything worked nicely until the tariff
act came in with Its tax. To evade this
as much US possible, and to reap the
profits FROM the sugar that could be
Sc cured before the tax fell, the
trust piled up raw sugar in its ware
filled their warehouses with the re-
fined.
But the harvest did not come. The
load was heavier than some could carry.
They had to sell, and 10 do it they had
to make concessions. They violated the
rule against charging for carriage and
packages. Chicago caught on and went

clared off. Harmony again folded her

so. 90 cents hundred. The avalanche
of sugar accumulated for tax profits has
started and is smashing things. Sorry
as the sugar folks may be, it isn't a
patch to the grief of the Republican
politicians, who see one of their choicest
war whoops stiled in their mouths by
the cheapening sweets.

TRUSTS IN ENGLAND.

The Pioneer Press regards as an tex
traordinarY statement" that Of Will
lam l.. Wilson that trusts, as we know
them. cannot exist in England. Where
the whole world is free to come in and
compete, no one can corner the market"
1t is sure that Mr. Wilson is deteriorat-
ing II he can make such staten ent
without shame, and asserts that the list
of English trusts is long one and has
been printed over and over again. A
good many English" things have been
printed over and over again by Rrpub>
lican papers. The Golden clubs

funds; the Hazard circular; extracts
from English papers that never existed,
aud from speeches that never were
made, tor instance. Mr.. Blaine said
that while there he heard that there
was coffin trust, and this is the nearest
approach to any authentic ''long list"

the industrial disease ravaging this
country and descants on it very much

the spread OF the disease to England.
The whole tone of Mr.. Plimselps

with its authorizations. would be

it, is its own assertion.

A RUCTION IN THE SUGAR
CAMP

There Is rumpus on in the camp of
the sugar dealers. Sweet HARMONY has
ulIfolded her wings and flown. Com-
petition. with his sharp-edged knife,
has taken his place again in the count
ing rooms. Sugar prices are falling.
Retailers are placarding their windows
with announcements OF 20, 81 and %
pounds of sugar for dollar. and the
consumers look on and smile and are
happy. while the politicians of a certain
calamitouS kidney watch the demoli-
ton of one Of their points with sadness,
and wonder what next will come. The
price Of the stocks OF the sugar trust,
which in February went up 10 1O9, is
sagging at 81. The outer shell of the
trust is smashed.
The sugar trust, like all OF its baleful
kind. was formed TO stop competition.
When there is competition there is dis
cord; when it is prevented there is har-
mony. The refneries Of the country
having been brought to harmonious
state, competition remained among the
jobbers and wholesalers and retailers.

GERMANY AND THE SUGAR
tax

The enactment of The tariff bill w it'll
its provision for all additional tax of
Cne>tenth of cent a pound Oh sugar
imported from countries paying an ex>
port bounty OH sugar, in addition TO the
tax of one-eighth of a cent a pound
protection to the retiners, is said to have
created dissatisfaction in Germany. and
protest was filed IN the department of
state by the minister of that country
against the discrimination.
The protest is not against the tax, but
against its inequality, applying as it
does to all countries paying all export
bounty. regardless of the amount of it.
The German minister represents that
France and Belgium pay larger export
bounty than does Germany, that coun-
try having in recent years materially
reduced her bounty, and that the effect
is to discriminate against his country
and in favor of the other countries.
Certain papers of the restorationist
wing of the Republican party, eager in
their paucity of cain paign material to
seize on anything that may help them.
grasp this straw with avidity, and vent
another calamity wall over the dreadful
consequences that may follow. One of
them predicts that THAT great triumph
of the Harrison administration" the
removal of the prohibition of imports of
American pork products into Germany,
may be Utilized and the prohibition be
restored in recrimInation, and thus a
great market he denied one of our chief
products.
The inference plainly intended to be
drawn is that this additional tax of one
tenth cent pound is a novel thing, in
vented by the Democrats. never before
heard of, and all atfront to one of our
Eu ropean customers. The fact is sup
pressed that the Mckinley act contained
precisely the same provision and that
Germany removed its inhibition of im-
ports of our pork during the time that
by it. The Mckinley act of 1890
contained this proviso to the SEIZED.
ule laying tax of One-half cent a
pound on all sugar above No. 16
Dutch standard: Provided that all
such sugars shall pay one-tenth cent
per pound in addition to the rate herein
provided for one-half cent pound
when exported from or the product OF
any country when and so long as such
country pays or shall hereafter pay,
directly OF indirectly. bounty on the
expectation of any sugar that may be
included in this grade which is creator
than is paid on raw sugars of lower
Saccharine strength"
This act went into effect Oct. 6, 1880.
and it was subsequent to that date and
while the act was in effect that Germany
Withdrew her introduction OF our pork.
The hypocrisy of the organs tat now
rebuke the Democrats for doing what
their party did, and predict that Ger
many will do what she did not do then,
is thus unmas ked. The fact is that the
Bismarckian policy of protection was
one Of the things discarded by the
young emperor and of which this admis-
sion of our pork and the trade treaties
with Aust ria, Italy, and later with Rus
STA, were instances.

E. A. Arnold. present Judge of pro-
bate of 1tasca county, Is at the Mer-
chants. 1.-The politics of our county
are little Mixed" said he last night,
ION account OF the new election law
passed in 1898. not being thoroughly
understood. Under section 81 of this
law an assembly OF convention is de-
fined as a convention or assembly of
deles ates representing a political party.
We have been under the habit in our
county of holding everything under the
mass convention system. The Popu-
lists discovered that this was illegal
under the act of 1893, and so it called a
delegate convention. The Republicans
must in consequence call regular con-
ventiOB, or lose their identity as po-
litical organization, in compelling all
their delegates to run Independently.
The chairman of the Republican county
committee called a Republican county
delegate convention. which was held on
Monday Oct. 81 at La Prairie. This
gave La Prairie three Of the offices,
Grand Rapids seven, and one went to
the north end of the county. Angus
Mackintosk, the county auditor, de-
clined to put the regular delegate
nominee on the ballot, but insisted in
putting on the delegates of the mass
convention instead. l secured a tenn
pOrary order in the supreme court re-
straining the auditor from such action,
and compelling him to put the regular
delegate convention upon the ballots,
or show cause on Monday next at 10
o'clock why he has not done so."
Judge Arnold is running as inde-
pendent candidate for representative in
the legislature from the Fifty-third dis
trict. This includes the counties OF
Itasca, Beltrami, Carlton, Cass. Aitkin
and Wadena. He graduated from law
school with Tom Carter, chairman of

Sol Smith Russell made departure
last night from the play of the Poor

rons classical treat in the "Heir at

actors, best represented by Joseph JEFF
ferson. In Mr.. RusselPs performance
Jefferson's prompt book and stage bust

porting cast is concerned it compares
very favorably with Jsfferson's produc-
ton. This may seem undue praise, but

Kate Ryan as Lady Duberly, and Miss
Kate Blanke as Caroline Dormer. all

familiar plays of Mr.. Russell's roper
toire, and exhibited far greater ability
than the chance auditor would be likely
to credit them with. Mr.. Russell had
a cOngenial part in Doctor Pangloss,
and it is almost needless to say that the
unctIOns lines of the part were i'm
mensely heightened by his inimitable
personality. Though his performance
will by no means ubliterate that of Joe

The law OF the state expressly sanctions
such course. and in view of the meager

charges OF great irregularities in COIL

some of the counties composing the is

having substantial ground to rest up on,
it is quite possible that Capt. Reed eau

Personally we have no acquaintance

that he was faithful and brave soldier,
and served his country we'll in its time
of need; that lie has been constant
aud influential working Republican for
thirty years or more in this state; that
he is man of good ability and we'll

that ne has long had the ambition Uust
as honorable in him as in Mr.. Heat wole

Under these circumstances why should
