Price of Wool Advancing.

Darlington journal
1t may seem paradoxical to many
people that taking the tariff off for
eign wool should enhance the price of
the home grown fleece. but such is
really the fact A short time ago we
published table which we found in
the st. Louis Globe Democrat, the
leading republican paper in Missouri,
giving the price OF wool after each
change in the tariff for the past hun
dred years. In nearly every instance
when the tariff on foreign wool was
increased, the price of domestic wool
took a tumble; and when the tariff
was lowered, the price of American
wool advanced.
All Of our flock owners know that
the price of American wool rapidly
decreased from the day the Mckinley
tariff went into effect until the Wilson
bill passed the house of representa-
tives, when prices Immediately stiffen-
ed and wool advanced several cents;
then while the senate was dilly- daily
ing for months, prices tuctated and
finally went down to the old Mckinley
figure. But now, since "free wool "
has become an established fact, buy ers
are very active and prices have already
advanced ten per cent. The Boston
Journal, staunch republican paper,
said last week that u well known Bos-
ton wool firm was "on the Jump for
wool in anticipation of higher prices"
The Darlington Journal opposed the
wool schedule of the Mckinley law at
the time it was under consideration,
because we believed it would reduce
the price of American fleece. We
gave reasons for that belief which
time and events have proven to be
sound.
We do not anticipate great ad-
vance in the prices of American wool
for n year or more, because our Cana
dian neighbors, who raise about the
same qualities that we do, have on
hand their entire clips for the past
four years, or since the Mckinley
tariff went into effect. This will be
unloaded upon the u. S. market and
glut 1t for awhile. After which our
Darlington buyers will again pay pro-
ducers Is to % cents for home grown

PROFIT ON HIS WOOL.

A dispatch from Elroy, this state, to
the Milwaukee Journal of Sept. 25,
says:
az. Hart of this city has held 10000
pounds of wool for some time. He
bought the wool at IL cents under the
old Mckinley tariff bill, and sold it a
few days ago for II cents pound.
Mr.. Hart is leading Republican, an
ex-member of the legislature, and one
Of those who feared that the passage
of the new tariff bill would reduce the
price Of WOOL
1t is now In order for Bro. Taylor, of
The Southwest Wisconsin, to congrat-
ulate the sheep raisers of Waldwick
upon the fact that his fears in their
behalf were not we'll founded. The
placing of wool on the free list has
acted contrary to his expectations.
Since the repeal of the Mckinley law
there has been an advance in the price
of wool of over Al per cent. 1t is
true that sheep raising is not leading
industry in this section; but there is
gain to the farmers il they can get an
increased price for the few pounds of
wool which they may have to sell, and
can buy wooden clothing much cheaper
than they could q year ago. See

FOR THE RECORDER.

Mcdowell society is not overly
gay and festive, so we all thorough
ly enjoyed the little festives Of our
holidays. Tuesday evening, up
wards of thirty from our village
found their way to the Xmas tree
and Oyster supper at Doe Hill. To
say that we all enjoyed it, would
be feebly expressing the senti-
ments Of each one Of the mellow
ell crowd" And to Judge from ap-
pearances and current reports, that
part Of the crowd which designa-
ted itself as ''the people" had hill
arious time. A straw ride during
the Xmas holidays seems little
out of season, but "the people" say
it is alright, and We will concede
the point for they ought to know.
The entertainment and the tree
were both enjoyed. The entertain
ent was a friendly contest between
the various holidays for best place,
of course Xmas won. as the chill
dren did the deciding Of the ques-
ton, but we must acknowledge
there was a tender spot III our
heart for Thanksgiving. Old San
ia Claus behaved himself with be-
coming dignity, and we thought
with some partially, but We were
mistaken in that, he had only re-
served some thing for the tree here
Wednesday evening. Xmas din
ners with all manner of good things
were served at several of the homes.
The festivities were happily closed
with a splendid supper and a pleas
ant evening at Mr.. Meetings..
Miss Sallie Rivercomb and Mr..
G.. A. Wallace from WilliamSville,
Miss Sieg McClung from Glover
Creek and Mr.. S. Wilson from
Stanton spent a few days of the
holidays with us.
Mr.. Earnest Hansel who is study
ing at the Washington and Lee
University spent last week at home.
DIR. Jones and wife spent the
week in Augusta.

A Few Facts.

A remedy has been found which
cures chronic diseases: not in every
case, but in a large percentage OF
them. And in cases too far gone
for cure, it affords relief and often
prolongs life. Many who have
been given over by physicians have
been prevailed upon by friends to
try this remedy, the Compound
Oxygen Treatment of Drs. Starkey
4 Palen, Of Philadelphia, and are
now living to testify to its curative
powers. 1t has been successful in
curing many cases of catarrh, ma
larial fever, hay fever, asthma
bronchitis, neuralgia, nervous pros
tration, and other chronic diseases.
In these diseases physicians have
had little success, as the name they
have given to this class Of disorders
indicates, but Compound Oxygen
has worked wonders.
There is only one genuine Com
pound Oxygen, and any substance
made elsewhere or by others than
Drs. Starkey and Palen, is spurious.
Avoid limitations.
Ifyou wish to learn more of this
wonderful remedy, send for our
book Of 200 pages, sent free, with
numerous testimonials and records
of surprising cures.
