THE DEMOCRATIC POLICY.

That the Wilson bill Is odious to the Demo
cratic party was sharp saying Of ex-Speaker
Reed. which some are unfairly using. They
twist ii into an admission that the bill will
leave duties strongly protective. and that the
income tax is mere eXcrescencc Two facts
need TO be rubbed into the minds Of men con-
stantly, until they are thoroughly understood.
The first is that the Wilson bill robs labor Of
It's reward, and was meant to do that very
thing The second is that the income tax Is the
inevitable other half Of Il Democratic tariff
ANY duty that is less than protective Is as
distinctly hostile TO American and favorable TO
foreign interests as If the whole duty were
wIocd on, and Free Trade substituted Take
any product costing SO abroad, and with 30
per cent duty now costing SO here, while the
home product sells for $lS. There Is Protec-
ton, and 1t gives to the workers double the
wages paid in England. But cut down the duty
to 20 per cent, and the foreign competitor seizes

This statement shows that the fall in prices
since the new clip Of wool began to come for
ward in May last has been almost unbrokrn. ana
has been 80 per cent. The only slight adYanc"
realized at any time during that period was
between November ] ana December of last
year. following the crushing defeat "f The Dem
ocraric party in Northern and Western States.
There was then kindlrd an impression that The
party in power. ia view OF Il defeat so complete
and so unexpected. would have the sense 10
restrain its hostility 10 American Industries.
Much buying followed. and sales Of wool were
for the first time larger than the year before.
But II was soon perceived that such hopes were
vain and manufacturers and spectators who
bought wool last November have since been
able TO buy 1t much cheaper.
After the Democratic success in 1870 there
began a decline Of nearly 3 cents in the aver
age price OF all qualities OF wool. But when
the Congress elected that year had been in scS-
sion n few months. ii Was seen that no change
could bc made until after The Presidential clcc-
ton. and the prices Of WOOL after more than
a year Of decline. remained comparatively
steady during The rest Of 1892. The average
WAS 2o7 cents November !. having been slightly
lower during the year. The election of 1892
resulting in complete success Of the Democratic
party closing Of works was feared. but the
manufacturers, having then a remarkably strong
market and orders running well into the fol
lowing year, did not discontinue production
until those Orlers had been filed. Thus the
consumption maintained the price of wool until
after the 1st Of May Then was realized the
exhaustion Of previous orders. and manufact-
urcrs began to decline further purchases OF
wool and to close their works.
II is sometimes said that wool IL now down
TO q FrccTrade basis. so that nothing worse
can bcfall the farmer II the Wilson bill should
become n law. But the price Of Ohio medium
fleece which shrinks 40 per cent. is about II
scents In january, 1854, having declined 13 cents
in the last three years The price Of Australian
medium which shrinks about the same, New
Zealand cross bred being taken as a sample

10 l95 I'm 1892 and 1875 In 1899; but IN Jan
uary. 1904. the average Of quotations is again
20 cents. In order to sell in open competition
with such wool. even since the rise Of the last
year. Ohio medium fleece must fall about 4
cents further, after declining l3 cents during
the last three years. During seventy years for

The Board of Managers of the Elmira Reform
atorv have expressed their confidence IN super
mtendent Brockway by restoring him to the
duties Of his Office. from which he was relieved
at his own request when the investigation by
committee Of the State Board of Charities was
begun last fall They do this because all the testi-
mony for the accusers OF Mr.. Brockway has been
heard and because such further testimony as
may be offered for the defence will not be given
at the Reformatory itself The investigation
has OF necessity had some effect upon the morale
of the nearly 1900 inmates Of the institution,
but il has not been so demoralizing as was 10

to maintain a high degr-e OF discipline, ana he"

Does Mayor Gihoy intend to take no further
notice of the specific charges regarding the mis-

pose the wrongdoing is an oror question; doubt
less he would have done so had he received SYM
pathy and support from the Mayor No one can
be much surprised at these revelations, for Scan
