The Democratic idea seems to be to tax
the people at home and make rich foreign
nabobs by giving them the free run of our
markets OF course peanuts rice citrus
Democratic States produce will be made
a exception.-Chicago Inter Ocean (Rep.)
The affair lacks even the dignity OF
contest between protection and tariff re-
form. Tariff reform is no longer in the
fight. 1t has been betrayed by it's friends
and thrown to the dogs, and the victorious
protectionist pack is snarling and swapping
over the choicest bits of the spoil-Louis-
vile Courier-Journal Dem)
The publication of the amended tariff hill,
as far as it has gone shows how Oemoci at
ic Senators care for trusts, and goes far
to confirm the rumors Of their personal
profit therefrom. 1t also gives colOr!Lg to
the suspicion that reciprocity will prevail
when Democratic campaign funds are reed
ed-Cincinnati Tribune Rep.)
1t will be better for the country and bet
ter for the Democratic party if this hybrid
measure shall fail to become a law. 1t is

The Democracy can take no pride in its
passage, nor find any reason for sorrow in
its Gefeat.-Chicago Times Oem)
Objectionable as the measure is as pre-
sented by the subcommittee, ii is better
even in that shape than long delay would
be. The country can i'll afford to put up
with such a halfway reform as the meas
ure in its present form would be. But it
cannot afford at all to wait much longer
for q tariff bill.-Detroit Free Press Dem.)
The income tax feature is bound 10 pro-
woke continuous warfare. and IL the bill as
it now stands is approved by the majority
of the full committee it will provoke some
bitter fights in other particulars. This Last
revelation is only another evidence that
the majority party is VIGOROUSLY unequal

agreeable truth is heiShtene. by the lncwl-
dering is yet afar off.-Pittsburg Dispatch

fully averred that athletics are lowering the
standard of intellectual ambition when this
purely intellectual contest excites among
the students OF our various institutions far
more interest than does any physical con-

at the Importance with which the students
invest this annual meeting, but they should
not sneer. Let us not forget that we were
young once ourselves, and that in a little

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
What was the price of wool under the
tariff in 1865 and the same in 1892?

What was the price Of wool under the
tariff in 1865 and the same in 1892?
D.MB.
The price of medium wool in currency in
January, 1866, was 81 per pound, and in Oc-
tober, 1865, 20 cents In January, 1865, the
greenback or currency dollar was worth
only 46.3 cents, while in May, the war being
over, ii was worth 1871 cents, and 6S4 in
December. That is, in gold, the money of
the world, medium wool was worth 1873
cents a pound in January, 1866, and 81 cents
in December. During 1864 the average price
of wool In Liverpool was 43 cents. The duty
under the tariff of 1864 was, because of the
high price in Europe, II cents pound and
10 per cent ad valorem in coin, which in
currency would be equivalent to duty of
double that figure. The average price of
good Australian clothing wool in December,
1892, was about IS cents and the average
duty II cents a pound. The price of woods
as imported into Great Britain In 1889 was
1912 cents. The cause of the fall in the price
of woods from 1866 to 1889 the world over is
due to the enormous increase in production,
the clip of the world in 1860 being 1,103 600 900
pounds and 2,21S,000,000 in 1887. The price of
woods in this country has been about the
duty higher than in Great Britain for the
same grades.
