Why the Manufacturers Oppose Free
Wool.

If the wooden manufacturers
could have their own way, could
feel assured that they would be con-
tinuously protected, with the adj
vantage of free wool granted to
them, they would consider the
change which carried wool to a free
list an unequalled blessing. What
the manufacturers fear is, that af-
ter it is demonstrated to the farmers
Of the country that they have been
hoodwinked, and that the protec-
ton on wool has been Of no essen
tial benefit to them, these farmers
will lose their interest in the pro-
tective system, and may inquire
why it Is necessary to maintain pro.
lection for the wooden and worsteG
industry.-Boston Herald.

side Roach sat reading a newspaper.
On the lounge back of the Senator
ial seats rested Jones Of Arkansas
and George of Mississippi, engaged
in conversation. Senator Blanch-
ard of Louisiana occupied the chair
of the presiding officer. One clerk
sat at the desk. Two pages were
tossing pennies within afew feet of
the presiding officer. The venera-
BILE Captain Bassett, the boss of the
pages, was softly snoozing in a
comfortable chair in the rear of the
presiding officer. Senator Quay's
SON, Dick, sat by his side, keeping
his reading matter in order.
Quay's voice could not have been
heard four feet away. He made
no effort to have it heard. He did
not care if nobody heard him. He
was killing time, and made no pre-
tense of Disgusting his purpose
After reading for an hour or so
Quay leaned over and whispered tc
his son. The dutiful son immedi'
ately sprang to his feet and, rush
ing into the Republican cloakroom
in minute or so returned with
Hansbrough of North Dakota, thu
latter bringing with him a large
pile of typewriter papers. Wher
he reached his desk, Hansbrougt
addressed the presiding officer, and
in the politest tone possible, asked
if the Pennsylvania Senator would
not indulge" him for a moment
Certainly" said Quay, and tina
gentleman dropped the sheet O.
paper he was reading like a no
coal, started out of the chamber ant
hurried down to the Senate restau
rant to get drink. Hansbrougl
thereupon read for half an hour
giving Quay a rest, when the latte
returned to the chamber and re
sumed his debate" Then whel
he had kept this up an hour longer
he got tired out, and then desul
tory debate" was engaged in and
few votes were taken.

Settled.

Last Thursday evening the Board
of Education settled the matter of
employing a superintendent and
hiring teachers for the coming
school year, by the unemployment
of Prof. L. S. Norton and accepting
the report of the Committee on Ex-
aminations, presented at previous
meeting. There has for some time
been strong feeling among many
of the taxpayers adverse to the re-
tention of Prof. Norton, and in fact
that feeling entered largely into the
election of members of the board
last spring. When the matter
came up for final disposition, last
Thursday evening, the board stood
a tie on the question, with the Mayor
in favor of Mr.. Norton to cast the
decisive vote, thus settling the mat
ter. While it is true there is con-
siderable opposition to Mr.. Norton,
both among the people and ON the
board, and that such opposition will
doubtless show itself again next
year, perhaps stronger than ever, it
is to be hoped that the whole peo-
pie Of the city will do all in their
power and use every effort to secure
the best results possible from the
entire corps of teachers, that the
schools may not suffer, though a
portion of the people have been dis
appointed.

How Labor is Protected"

The following extract from the
great speech of Senator Mills on
the Wilson bill shows the absurdity
of the pretense that the tariff is
for the protection of labor" 1t
will be seen that the tariff which
the consumers have to pay is far
in excess of the whole amount paid
to the labor which creates the pro-
duct, the difference being a clean
steal by the manufacturer:
"In one ton Of steel rail the labor
cost is So; the tariff is $13.44.
I'm 800 worth of cutlery the
labor cost is $44.24; tariff is SOIL.
"In 800 worth Of mats and mat
ting the labor cost is $780,; the
tariff is $68.50.
"In 800 worth of silk piece goods
the labor cost is $22.54; the tariff
is $50.
SIN 500 worth of cigars and CT
garettes the labor cost is 1881;
the tariff is $125.36.
"In 500 worth of wooden or
worsted clothes the labor cost is
$2O.S5; the tariff is $4,000.
"In 500 worth of pottery the la
Dor cost is $43.96; the tariff is $50.
"In 500 worth of pearl buttons
the labor cost is $3.50; the tariff
is $143.81.
SIN 800 worth of tannin the
labor cost is $18.34; the tariff is
$11.47.
SIN ton of coal the labor cost
is from 40 to so cents; the tariff is
rs cents.
I'm 800 worth of cotton goods
the labor cost is $24.24; the tariff
is $57.OS.
SIN 500 worth of linen the labor
cost is $12.92; the tariff is $50.
"In 500 worth of common win
dow glass the labor cost is $500;
the tariff is $98.39.
SIN one ton Of pig iron the labor
cost is $1.50; the tariff is $6.72.
I'm one ton of bar iron the labor
cost is $4.57; the tariff is $685."

Gov. Mckinley said of the Will
son tariff bill that it is returning
to what Buchanan left u.s." As he
presumed upon the ignorance OF
his hearers this sounded all right.
OF course he knew that the tariff of
1857, which buchanan left us,
originated in and was passed by
Republican house of Representa-
tives, and received the support of
Charles Summer, Henry Wilson
and N. p. Banks, of Massachusetts,,
William HI. Seward, of New York,
and William A. Howard and Hen
|ry Waldron of Michigan. 1t re-
duced the duties levied under the
Walker free-trade tariff of 1916
one-quarter. The early Republi-
cans were in favor of freedom OF
trade as well as freedom of men
The average rate of duties under
the tariff of 1857 was less than &c
per cent. This was the tariff "Bu.
chanan left us" and it was a great
stride towards free trade when com.
pared with the Wilson bill, which
proposes 35 per cent, on dutiable
foreign imports. The modern tar.
iff-for-plunder Republicans do not
appear to good advantage when
compared with the great founders
of the party, who were opposed tc
commercial slavery as well as tc
negro slavery. The Mckinley tar
if of 1890 is $50 per cent higher
than the Republican tariff of 1857
the one buchanan left u.s.
