THE SEAS INVASION.
Old Ocean Is Tearing Away the English
Coast by the Rod.

Old Ocean Is Tearing Away the English
Coast by the Rod.
The fat marshes of Pevensey have
gained half mile since the days Of Ed
ward II, when the sea almost washed
the walls of the castle that now stands
high and dry inland. The same thing
has happened on the Romney fats,
where the ancient castle of Lympne has
receded mile or more. Such spots as
these look as though the next spring tide
would add their grassy meadows to the
lost ground of sea bottom. But on the
rocky parts Of the Antrim coast we have
the sea slowly working its way inland,
despite the rock Notifications and stony
intrenchments that look so resistless.
Under the waves lie tracts of bogland
that once upon time must have stood
well in shore, and Dunluce bears wit
ness to the ravages that have taken place
within a few centuries, few ticks of
the clock as geologists count time.
The sea, ever washing and tearing at
its foundations, one day broke down a
considerable part of the castle, and sew
eral persons were killed by the catas-
trophe. This was in the days when
Dunluce was held by other tenants than
the birds. Then home and strong
hold, now but memento of past joy
and glory.
Another marked example Of the inse-
curity of rock defenses where the sea is
the invader occurs at Filey, on the
Yorkshire coast. Only 20 years ago
there was a pathway running around the
ancient church of st. Hilda, which is
built on the solid rock. Now this is SO
broken away on the seaward side that
it is impossible. Another 20 years may
see the church undermined. .-Argosy.

PRICE OF WOOL.

Much has been said about the price
of wool rising since the new tariff bill
went into effect, and we produce below

in our county since the passage OF the
new tariff bill. Under the Mckinley
order of things 16 and lie was the uni

ers, and many of them were forced by

Now the price is 90 cents, and many are

ures. I recall that some months age
| that Congressman Neal was over oul
way, and told our wool growers that
he would risk his reputation upon the
statement that wool would advance sc
per pound within thirty days after the
passage OF a free wool law. Well, we
got an advance of 4c within ten days
after the new bill become a law, anG

PROTEGTJON WELT, TTTUSTRATED =

PROTECTION W ELL ILLUSTRATED.-
didate for Congress from the Sixth dis
trict, in speech delivered in Roanoke
county, said protection could be illus
trated in this way: Presume that
Roanoke county raises wheat at fifty
cents bushel. A toll gate is placed at
every entrance to mark that nothing
could enter without the payment of
toll. A farmer takes bushel of wheat
to an adjoining county and exchanges
it for five pounds of tobacco at ten
cents per pound. When he returns
with his tobacco the toll man demands
that duty, or tax, or protection" of
ten cents per pound be paid. Can any
wise man argue himself into the belief
that the foreigner pays the tax?''

THE FEMALE POLITICIAN. = Mrs.
Mary Lease, of Kansas, the Popnlist
speaker, who leaves her husband at
home to mind the babies while she
roves the country, is fighting mad be-
cause she was recently refused mile
age in a case in which she was wit
ness some months ago. The clerk of
the court, says the Minneapolis Tri-
bune, denied her claim for mileage
because she rode on a pass. Mrs. l..
confesses that she rode OH pass, but
aflirms that Governor Lewelling and
another Populist politician in the same
case also rode on passes and were paid
mileage. and she does not propose to
be Disseminated against because she
is a woman"
Mrs. Lease does not pretend to place
the female politician upon any higher
plane than that occupied by the male.
While wrathfully discoursiug upon the
su bject of her mileage, she emphatical-
ly and scornfully repudiated this senti
mental idea.
"All this talk she said, that the
| women will improve the politics of the
State is foolishness. We are no better
and no worse than men. Women will
call each other liars on the platform
| just like men. They will ride on
passes just like men. You will find
| the worst set of cat-scratching cnt
| Threats among women that You can
| find anywhere. The woman suifragist
should drop that plea aud simply de-
mGnd that they shall not be discrimin
ated against"
This is frank, at all events. But if
women are as naughty as Mrs. Lease
makes them out, why should men ad
NIT them to participation in the af
fairs of government? Thingsare bad
enough as they are. 1t might be ex
tremely dangerous to lineage and sci

1t seems from the way the leaders OF
the republican party are talking and
writing that that party is evidently
not satisfied with the peoples oppo-
sition to high tariff, as expressed by
their votes in 1892 and 1894, and must
have the case submitted to them again
in 1885, As they will have it so, there
is nothing else for the democrats to do
but to give them another dose OF the
same medicine, and it is hoped the
next one will be decisive. And it is
just as well; for though the new tariff
bill is the best one that could have
been passed by the present Congress,
and has considerably reduced the price
of the necessaries of life, 1t is by no
means as good as was expected. The
people, therefore, in November, should
make it their business to elect repre-
sentatives who will improve the bill,
and make it provide for revenue only.
With such bill, people can live more
comfortably, and just as cheaply, here
as abroad.-AleG. Gazette.

PoPULIsT MOVEMENT WEAKENING.
The Richmond correspondent of til e
IndeG-AppeaI says =
The Virginia populists are by no
means so enthusiastic as they were
last year. Their national leaders in
the gubernatorial campaign looked
upon Virginia as a fine field for mis-
sionary work and sent here money and
speakers. Their crushing defeat has
had the effect of convincing them that
the Old Dominion is not ready as yet
to give up her Democracy. 1t is said
that all efforts of the leaders in Vir-
ginia to get outside help this year have
awaited nothing. The peoples party
certainly is not in as good condition as
a year ago. The Virginia Sun, their
organ. has gone out of existence, and
men like General Rosser have grown
lukewarm. Rosser is supporting the
Democratic nominee for Congress in
his district. In some sections OF the
State privates in the ranks are drift
ing back into the Democratic party
and from all accounts the pops" are

WooL.-Notwithst that wool
has now no duty on it the price of the
domestic as we'll as the foreign article
has been advancing in price since the
passage of the tariff bill Why is
this? We will hear the Republicans
say that is it because the foreign deal
ers have entered into u combine d
trust. to keep the price up and to in
crease it in the face of the America n
demand. In other words. that the
trust steps in and takes the place of
the tariff
But, the rational and much more
plausible explanation of it is that the
manufacturers of WOODEN goods can
now buy their foreign wool without a
duty and can have it to mix with the
great variety of grades of our own
product and thus there is a large de-
mand created by the activity. The
American wool was not near so valua-
BILE as long as the necessary foreign
grades could not be had to mix with it
to make the various fabrics into which
it goes. Now that it can be worked
up the market gets better and the
sheep raiser for wool is better off than
he was before. 80 much for the great
cry about wool and protection. Better
prices and more demand under the new
revenue law. Give the Democra tic

1t is stated upon good authority that
as result of tariff revision the Massey
Manufacturing Company, of Toronto,
which employs two thousand hands, has
determined to remove its wooden mills
to the United States.
In explaining the reason for this step
Mr.. Massey says that in the last Cana
dian tariff the duties on wooden fabrics
were reduced to 90 per cent, but the
duties ON wool remain unchanged, and
as consequence, Canadian manufac-
turers cannot compete with those in
the United States whose raw materials
are free.
This is an argument in favor of free
raw material that ought to convert
