Free Es00I - E5t Wanted.

Illustrative Of the position Of manu-
faCturers IS to free Wool we quote the
following from the New York Press
Of May j.:
The Democratic assertion that Am
erlcan manufacturers demand free
wool is an impatient falsehool. The
Press asserts emphatically that - per
cent oil tile wooden manufacturers Of
the United States are earnestly in
favor Of extending 10 the sheep raiser
the same protection which they ask
for their own industry. Permanent
protection to W0UlemS is an imp0s-
sibiIity if wool is to be made free
The two branches of this essential
American interest VIII stand or fall
together When the wool grower is
ruined the wool manufacturer will
soon follow him Equal protection
for all IS the motto Of patriotism and
justice. Ubiquitous throughout, the
prevailing tariff bill is especially vic
iOuS and destructive in Its deliberate
sacrifice Of American wool. Repuh-
llCans IN the Senate must meet with
unilmching opposition the infamous
measure which would strike down the
great industries Of the North, impOy-
erish American wage earmers and rob
a million American farmers to crafty
foreign greed and Bourbon Yjndictiye-
ness.
That the Press is published by a
leading WOODEN manufacturer, Nj.
James Phillips, gives double force to
the above quotation, winch truly rep
resents the position Of Protectionists
throughout the country.-American

House servants Cat of work

The business depression has had Sc
rious effect upon the women who worb
as household servants in this city. The
advertisements in the daily newspapers
tell the story in the contrast between
the cards Of those who want places and
those who want help. In yesterday
mornings newspapers there were
eleven columns Of advertisements by
the idle girls, and only 4 little more
than four columns of advertisements
fer household helpers It is said thai
there WAS an uncommon dearth Of ser
want girls here ut the time OF the open
inc Of the Worlds fair in Chicago
when the women rushed to Chicago il

At any time and under any circum-
stances this could not fail 10 be re
garded as significant demonstration.
The time and circumstances seem to
me TO invest It with a sombre sOlemnity
and imparts to it a peculiarly pathetic
Importance. There is nothing in life
so tender, touching and pathetic as de-
votion to the dead. 1t marks the dis
tincti0n between time-serving assO-
citation and disinterested affection. 1t
STAMPS a medal mark of merit upon
intrinsic worth and renders it forever
dlscernible from the gilded dross Of
braZen ambition. 1t reaches III our

touch Of fond sublimity and Of tender
bravery. As national characteristic
there is nothing So fraught with prom
lse for people--nothing SO pregnant
with patriotism. 1t marks for futmity
