beckoned to the vast and surging crowd

A mighty hush fell at once upon the

his nod. They waited for the upshot

How Chairman Wilson, the Democratic
Free Trader, was Received
England,

Congressman Wilson. the Trainer of the
Democratic tariff bill, which is now the
law of the land, was received with Won
derful enthusiasm in London. He was
wined and dined by the English people
in royal style. Wen they might do all
this. lie has been exceedingly good to
the people of that country. He has had
Il watchiul care over their interests. He
did his best to get the American Con
gress to legislate for thc special benefit
of the British workingmen. He labored
earnestly aad diligently. and with the
give the English manufacturers Il chance
to close up the foundries and factories
Of the United States. 1t is no wonder.
then that he has been welcomed us one
of Englaud's best friends.
Chairman Wilson could not get ouch
a reception ON this side of the water. No
organized body of laborng men, no Assoc
citation of manufacturers, no chamber of
commerce having an American spirit
would think of hanqueting the author
of the Wilson bill.
Here are some comments on the Wilson
reception III England, by the New York
Tribune
chairman Wilson's services on behalf
of English industries have been appropri-
ately recognized by the London chamber
Of commerce. He was tiattered by the
well-earned compliment of public BAN
tude by speech which would have re-
ioiced the heart of Golden. He described
the United States as having followed for
twenty-five years the Chinese policy of
commercial seclusion and asserted that the
falsity and Impotence OF protection as
an economic system and its incompati-
bility with pure government had been con
spicuouSly demonstrated. He announced
the overthrow OF the protective policy.
and predicted that the manufacturing
supremacy Of the world would speedily

Should be dismayed by SO discouraging
a prospect for the future Of English trade,
he heney violently added that the demands
Of the world would advance upon such q
scale that there would probably be ample
room for the commerce of the United
States and the United Kingdom as well
Consoled by this comforting reflection
his English entertainers raptnrously ap'
plauaed him when he took his seat

taners must have smiled behind their

The Condition of the Wool Market in
Consequence of the Democratic At
tack the American sheen

tack on the American sheep.
The extent of the financial injury done
the wool growers Of Wisconsin by the
free wool schedule of the Democrat ii,
tariff bill can be seen from the following
statement of prices at which wool was
sold i'll this state in 1892 and 1894. &C
eording to the price list furnished by H.
Keel, well known as wool dealer of this
city.
There are two kinds of wool grown in
Wisconsin. medium and fine In 1892 the
medium was selling from ~ to ~ cents.
and the washed for from 80 to 81 cents.
The fine unwashed was bringing from
Is to ID cents in 1892, and the washed
from "A to ~ cents.
The striking influence of the free wool
pollcy OF the Democratic party upon prices
is forclbly illus rated by the condition of
the wool market in 1894. The price of
medium unwashed is now fetching but
IA to 10 cents. u loss of about 10 cents
pound. The price of medium washed is
selling at 10 cents, a loss Of l. cents Il
pound.
The price of fine unwashed is bringing
from 10 to ii cents loss of from I to
cents Il pound: and washed brings 10
cents, Il loss of II cents Il pound. These
figures show that there is an average
loss of ii cents a pound on medium and
10 cents on fine.
From these facts it can be ascertained
to certainty how much the wool grow
ers of Wisconsin are paying for Demo
cratic reform.
When the assessors throughout the
state gathered the statistics of farm
stock and farm produce. early in the
summer of 1893, there were in this state
94S,226 sheep and lambs, an increase of
14O,Jl2 over the corresponding period for
1892
The sheep statistics of 1894 have not
yet been completed, but estimating the
number in the state the same as that of
1893. and calculating on Il basis OF only
six pounds OF wool per sheep, the clip of
1894 will reach J,6So, 800 pounds. If we
count the average loss on this production
10 cents Il pound. which must be regarded
as very fair estimate, the aggregate
loss to the wool growers of the state re-
sulting directly from the free wool clause
of the administration tariff law amounts
to the enormous sum of SJ6S.921.
This immense loss falls quite heavily
on some counties. Last year there were
81 .516 sheep and lambs in Fond du Lac
county. most of which We're quarter

wool grown to any extent in Wisconsin.
If the clip in 1894 was equal to that of
1893. and taking the prices of 1872 as
basis. the loss to that county by the
forced decline in the price of wool i'll con
sequence of free trade in that article
amounts to %3G.9Oo.

There is something startling in these
figures. They show the blighting intlu-
ence of Democratic national legislation
against the American sheep. Every farm
err in Wisconsin who grows wool is hit
hard by the British free trade policy of
the Democratic party. 1t does not require
statistics to make sheep grower of the
country feel the force of these statements.
He has felt it already in the shrinkage
of his pockethook.

A HINT TO CREAMERYMEN.

Crcamerymen would find it to their adj vantage to do much more than they do in helping dairymen procure grain and other supplies and in getting improved stock. Armour & Go. of Chicago have found it profitable to advertise in the pa pers advising farmers to use Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte or Indian Game males on their hens because the resultant cross gives larger, meatier fowls, and Armour & Co.,, being extensive poultry buyers, get greater profit in handling the bet ter grades of poultry. The farmers make three cents profit to one for Armour & Co.,, yet the firm finds it advisable to ad- vertise as they do. How much then would creamerymen gain by little as- sistance in helping dairymen buy grain in carload lots, especially such concen- trated feeds as linseed and cottonseed meal, and also in the purchase and use of high grade sires to improve the herds. Good feeding and good breeding go hand in hand.-[ The Practical Dairyman.

tion, and moral corruption may be visit- ed upon successive generations. The sin of adultery results i'll the actual adul- iteration of mankind. body, soul and spirit.
 The natural law of marriage is the union of one man with one woman. All other union then is unnatural and sinful and therefore hurtful in the physical as well as in the moral sense. The union of one man and one woman is marriage, in scientific sense. The twain united are one flesh, and are therefore bound to each other by every law of nature as man and wife. The man becomes par taker of the nature of the woman and the woman becomes partaker of the nature of the man.
 It is we'll known that man and his
 wife become alike, as to their bodies,
 minds, and personal trait of character.
 And the changes wrought by marriage,
 in man or woman, are deep and abiding,
 The children of a second marriage may be like the husband or wife of former union, or even like the guilty parties with which either may have been united in impure relations. Every union of a
 man and woman makes deep and last ing impression upon each, body and sonl.
 '.Know ye not,'' asks the great apos- tie, "that he that is joined to harlot is
 one body, for, the twain, saith he. shall become one flesh" The moral law is the same then as the law of the state. "Thou shalt not commit adultery From this point of view how appalling beyond expression are the possibilities | of an impure life! And how perilous to
 the pure and unsuspecting becomes the sacred relations of marriage; well may | and and reflect after the most critical inquiry into the | life and character of the one who out oi all the world is to be the partner of this wondrous life of veal and woe.

 suiferings and the most abject misery
 and degredation. "Be sure your sir will find you out."- TO. o. Wright.

Live Farm Topics.
WIDOWS AND OTHER WOMEN AS FARMERS

We often hear the question, "What can the widow do with the farm?"
 We'll, we have in mind one who had to sell land to settle up her hus- bands estate. She died few months ago and left not only decided improve
 ments on the farm, but also nearly $3OOO in the savings banks. Poultry cattle, po- tatoes, hay and everything raised on the
 farm she had for sale and was careful
 and shrewd enough to get the highest
 price for everything she sold. Of course
 she worked early and late, out doc and
 in, having an able assistant in her daugh-
 ter. They both substantiated the fact
 that work, good management and econ- omy will pay on the farm as everywhere else. Another widow lost her husband just after buying a $500 farm. This,
 with d son and daughter to help with their work, was soon paid for.
