MR WILSON'S ILLNESS.

The whole country sincerely regrets
the illness Of Hon. WILLIAM l.. WILL
son, who has been compelled TO tempo
rarily stop his journey TO Mex
leo at Kansas City, and every
one hoDes for his speedy restoration TO
health. His friends-their name is le-
gion and they are confined to no po-
litical party-win an1iOuslY await the
result
Mr.. WILSON undertook and carried
out TO the full a trsk whose physical re-
Quirements alone would have worn out
q SASDOw. He had been foremost in
legislation before his assignment to the
work Of framing a new tariff bill that
would meet the demands Of the c0un-
try and the governments financial con-
dition. He was probably the hardest
worked man In Congress before he I'M
dertook this great task. His extraord-
mary vitality and temperate life alone
enabled him to accomplish it.
OF rather slight physique and some
what nervous temperament, the reaction
was more than nature could bear. He
Is simply worn put, and for this reason
there is little ground for apprehension
that his illness Will be very serious.
Rest is his greatest and probably his
only need.
Vt is unfortunate that his condition
would not permit him to journey
through to Mexico wherl the clim-
ate would probably be mofs conducive
TO bis speedy recovery, fo3 which the

From the above we find in 1855 the

14.5. A difference of one and one-half

The South American Republic Of Ar
gentina is in the wheat market backed
by an exportable surplus OF $4,000, 900
bushels for this year, double the
amount last year. As an exchange
points out, it is easily realized from
this what an unpromising outlook caps
the product Of the wheat grower in the
United States This has been rapidly
growing competition. Five years ago
Argentina exports were so trifling as to
find scarcely a mention in the statistics,
and ten years ago the republic imported
wheat to satisfy the home demand.
American farmers are obliged to COM
pete with the whole world under con-
ditions more difficult to meet each year,
while a commercial policy exists which
discourages European buyers from en-
tering the American market. Bread
stuffs are purchased elsewhere in pref
erenco to submitting to trade restric-
tiOns that allow no terms save those
covered by an excessive tax tariff legis-
lation. The American farmer is doubt
less convinced by this time that the sys-
TEN blessing a favored class has been Of
no benefit to him and was never intend
ed to be.
The American duties on wheat and
corn lave accomplished a great benefit
FOR the farmers OF the Argentine Re-
public. With 5O,OOO,OOO bushels sur
plus wheat this year they are ready TO
meet the markets Of the world without
duty tax 20 hinder or restrain.
II is, indeed, nigh time for a change

MUNICIPAL REFORM.
Rev Afford Tells How to Improve Our
City Governments.

Rev Afford Tells How to Improve Our
City Governments.
Rev. c. M. Affords discourse last
night at the Second Presbyterian church
was upon Municipal Reform"
He said that city government has so
digenerated that it is now government
bv "bosses" or a ring" This is due
largely 30 the perils of immigration,
which focalize in the large cities. What
is neeeed above all things else, is NUM-
cipal reform. The first step towards
accomplishing this end is to divorce
municipal ane party politics. Party
lines should be ignored. and the corrupt
politicians should be divided from the
honest voters.
To accomplish city reform the peo-
pie should also be educated in city gov
eminent. Citizens generally are igno-
rant in the manner in which municipal
government is conducted, and are per-
fectly Indifferent. The fault has its be-
ginning in the public schools. 1t is
absurd TO teach pupils about the coun-
tries Ct the old world and their govern
ments, and leave them unacQuainted
with our own national government, or
even the government OF the city in
which he resides. City officers should
be elected for their qualifications, NOT
according TO the political spoilS sys-
TENS. The business Of the city should
be conducted on business principles by
men who understand their business.
Another step in municipal reform Is
that crime should be detected and pun
ished instead of licensed and protected.
Crime should be treated as crime. The
moment it is localized or licensed the
municipal government stamp is placed
upon vice. Rev. Afford spoke in a
complimentary way Of Rev. DR.. Park
hurst and the work he is doing in New
York City. "You might imagine that
the principal business Of the police force
was TO protect crime and vice instead Of
arresting and roofing IL out. But how
can you expect policeman to arrest a
saloon proprietor when he gets his free
drinks daily? How can you expect him
to arrest the drunken sot with whom he
occasionally drinks? How can you ex-
pect city government 70 condemn
crime and vice when its Mayor appears
before his own bar and fines himself for
drunkenness, when its Chief of Police
is found in house of ill-fame, and every
policeman daily drinks in the city sa-
loOns?"
What part should Christians take in
our city governments? A Christian
church as an ecclesiastic body, nor a
minister in his representative capacity,
have no right to interest themselves in
political affairs. When moral issues are
at stake the pulpit has a right TO come
to the front.

WOOL AND The TARIFF.


10 ths Editor Of ths Rsoists-:
SIR:-The Republican party know
that the wool question is the key to
the tariff situation and they are moving
heaven and earth to perpetuate il.
The Hon. Chas. Grosyenor few days
ago introduced into the House commu-
nication on wool from Theodore JUS
tice, of Philadelphia, against removing
the tariff on wool.
The trouble with Mr.. Justice is this:
II wool goes upon the free list, Eastern
mills will use the fine foreign wool and
make the finer grades of cloth now i'm
ported, while local mills scattered over
the country will use up our home grown
wool In fabrics suited to each grade,
and thus the wool which under higher
tariff paid commission to Mr.. Justice,
will under free trade be used up in its
own region, in making more common
grades of goods. The big Pacific mills
OF San Francisco, which were stopped
by high tariff, will again use up the
wool on the Pacific coast and wool
growers. manufacturers and consumers
will alike be benefited.
High tariff centralizes business, as is
seen In the wool industry. In 1860,
the number of wooden mills was 1909;
in 1890, 1912. A loss Of GOO mills in
thirty years-a fine showing for policy
which "diversifes industries" The
above is in cloth mills.
Mr.. Justice submits table TO prove
that wool on secured basis has been
so per cent. lower in London than in
this country since 1868.
l have learned enough to know that
when protectionist desires to deceive
he is very particular about using frac-
tions of a cent, and this case is no ex'
ception. Ont of % quotations on for
eigu wool, 20 are to ffths OF cent, and
all ten cents too low.
He takes Ohio medium washed wool
as his standard for the United States,
and Australian oss-bred unwashed
wool as the corresponding grade.
To show that this fraud is intentional
will quote from a circular issued in
1880 by his own firm of Justice, Bate
man 81 Co., giving the price OF q
grades Of American wool in Philadel'
phia; also the price of corresponding
grades in the London market.
