Good for England.

The new tariff bill of the United
States, which has now passed its
third reading, will remove great
burden from many sections OF indus
try in this country. The sheffield
cutters, whose commodities were sad
died with duties varying from 70 to
100 per cent, and in some cases great
deal more, under the Mckinley bill,
will enjoy immunity from taxation to
tie extent of about so per cent, while
other branches of the hardware in
dustry will benefit almost in the like
proportion. Other circumstances
therefore being propitious, we may
have the pleasure of observing a re-
vival of an American trade, although
nothing much in that respect, it is to
be feared, will be accomplished dur
ing the present year-London Indus
tries July 9, 1894.

Some Facts About Wool.

If American manufacturers are to
supply themselves with foreign wool,
it would be only because it would be
Who. then, will be left to buy the
American clip, and what is to become
of it? If American wool falls to the
foreign price under free trade the
American sheep will be fattened and
sent to the butcher, and woolgrowing
in America will cease to be an industry
except in limited cases where the farm
ers can produce the coarser wool
sheep for the meat as they now pro-
duce cattle for that purpose. They
would then have to consider the wool
by-product, as bullocks hides are
now considered.
If the duty be soon removed or even
reduced at time when the govern.
ment needs more rather than less rev.
enue, the only way to procure even
the same revenue that is now collected
is to double our imports If we
double our imports we obtain our sup
plies from abroad instead of at home
We cripple our manufacturers and
lessen our market for our wool. We
give great industrial impulse to for
eign mills and to this extent take
employment from our American mills,
and for what? Simply in order to

The Pottery Strike.

In the settlement of the pottery
strike the wage scale hangs on the de-
gree IF protection accorded the INDUS
try in the democratic tariff bill This
is a practical illustration of the point
which republicans have made and
democrats denied and there can be
no wriggling out of it.
The democrats will have to take
their medicine The democratic poll
ticians can no longer throw dust in
the eyes OF the men who earn their
living in American potteries. They
have learned, if they did not know be-
fore, that the tariff has something to
do with wages.
Some of them understood this thor
oughly and did not wait for the dem
ocratic party and sad experience to
teach them the lesson The lntelli'

President Cleveland's record on the
question of free wool shows that
he advocated it in his third annual
message to congress, Dec. 6, 1887, be-
cause "a large proportion of the sheep
owned by the farmers throughout the
country were found in small hocks
numbering from twenty-fv to fifty"
The inference to be drawn there
from is that free wool would never
have been thought of by President
Cleveland or his party if the focks of
the United States had been large ones
concentrated among II few owners, or,
in fact, if there had been a sheep
trust, wool trust, or both. Such a
trust could have dictated it's own
terms, but the unfortunate $40, 960
separate farmers who owned sheep
were selected as victims to free trade
President Cleveland has evidently
seen the necessity for correcting these
views, and he tried to do so in his ad-

The people Of tho United States are
just beginning to learn the popular title
of the new tariff bill. In 1890, when the
Republicans passed. tho tariff law, the
Democrats tried to make it odious by
calling it the Mckinley bill. The
Democrats have been looking around
for popular title for the present tariff
law. While some persist in calling it
tho "Wilson law" and others the Cor
man law, f." it has been unanimously
agreed by the Democrats that hereafter
it is to be known rs the "Sugar trust
law. " The question of tho correctness
of this title will be submitted to the Re-
publicans on Nov. g. at which time it is
fully believed that the Republicans will
concur that it is well named, and that
the Sugar trust should have the full
benefit of the title so conferred.
