Great Britain is the only nation N
the north temperate zone where the
climatic conditions and habits OF the
people are at all similar to those of the
United States, and where the sheep are
fed in winter; but the wool clip of
Great Britain under free trade de-
creased 10 per cent. while that of the
United States under protection in
creased leo per cent. If the duties had
not been lowered, it is fair to assume
that tie same ratio of increase would
have continued, in which case this
country would have produced $50, Geo.
600 pounds of wool by 1895, which is
the entire amount consumed by the
American people.
Notwithstanding these facts, how
ever, the advocates of free wool deny
that protection has been advantageous
to American wool growers, although in
point of fact American woods and SINH
lar foreign woods were worth in the
London market from March, 1856, to
March, 1888, an average of 81 per
cent. below prices obtained in the
United States fer the same kind and
qualify btSIQSS. t4AC 1ACC MOOi
kets of the worlc declined over so per
cent. in the thirty-three years previous
to March l, 1898, while the average de-
cline in American wool, owing to pro-
lection, during that same period was
only 1879 per cent, and but for Ameri-
can protection, the foreign decline of
so per cent would have been the Ameri-
can decline, instead OF less than one
fourth of it.
1t is also well to remember that this
country in the past has produced the
equal of every quality OF wool raised in
any other part OF the world. There is
no quality of foreign wool the equal of
which cannot be and has not been pro-
duced in America The only reason
why certain qualities which were Tor
merly raised in great abundance are
now imported is because they are pro-
duced more cheaply in foreign ceun-
tries

A MISSOURI FARMER.

The free traders say they want to re-
duce the tariff, because it would cheaper
the neeessaries OF life and thereby
benefit poor people. If poor people
had money of course eheapness would
be a good thing Tor them. But they
have not got money and cannot get it
except as they work for 1T, and if they
cannot get employment they cannot
get money. No matter how cheap the
necessaries of life may be it don't bene-
fit people that have no money. Demo
Gratis assume that poor people have
money. They knox.this assumption to
be false, but they stick TO it with a
brazen-faced impudence that would
shame the devil.
Facts prove beyond the possibility of
doubt that cheapness is of secondary
consideration, that employment is of
greater Importance to poor people than
cheapness. Wheat is now down to
about forty cents bushel, and bread
cheaper than it has been before for
many years, but poor people have not
been as abundantly supplied with it
the past winter as they were few
years ago when bread was higher and
work easier to get. There was plenty
of bread all the time last winter, but
poor people could not get it, because
they could not get employment to earn
money with which to buy bread. There
is no gattiHG away from this fact. and
democrats ought to be burnt with It
till they manifest sense of shame and
sympathy for labor.
Cheap bread without employment did
not benefit poor people last winter, and
it is plain that cheap clothing without
employment would not benefit them;
and so of the other necessaries of life.
1t is equally plain that if the tariff is
reduced and our clothing, implements,
etc, imported from Europe, it will take
employment from the working people
of the United States. President Cleve-
land and his friends know it would,
but they keep right on with their
senseless, hypocritieal gable about re-
ducing the tariff to benefit the poor
people. 1t is to be hoped poor people
will not always be thus Knocked and
tantalized by the authors of their mis-
cries.
Cheapness is good thing for Presi.
dent Cleveland and others that have
salaries fixed by law, because their
salaries remain the same while the nee
essaries of life have declined in price.
Mr.. Cleveland can supply his family
with bread now for one-half what it
would have cost a year or so ago, but
his salary remains at $4,000 a year.
The hard times instead OF injuring
enable him to save money. If his sal
airy and the salaries of congressman
should be lowered in proportion as
wages and the price of farm products
go down, then their ardor for tariff re-
,duction and cheapness would cool of.
Cheapness is also a good thing for
people that have money loaned out at
interest because the amount of dollars
and rate of interest expressed in the
bond or note remains the same. though
the price of the necessaries of life have
declined IN some cases one-half. 1t is
only natural that the party that upheld
legalized slavery should strive to legis-
late exclusively in the interests of tLs
moneyed classes.

as heretofore. II may De well 70 review
some Of the effects CT protection upon
this great home industry.
The highest duties on wool were
levied under the tariff law Of 1857, when
12JI cents per pound was collected upon
first and second class woods, which are
those qualities mostly grown N the
United States. After that law had
been in operation few years its stimu-
lating effect upon the growth Of wool
was visible, as the clip OF the United
States increased faster than that Of any
other nation. Taking the twelve years
preceding the repeal q the tariff law OF
1851. saw from 1873 % ISS4. the wool
clip of the United States doubled. The
increase was from 10. 00o. Co Psands N

NO sYMPATaY FOR PULLMAN.

II is plain that the Pullman company
is not receiving the endorsement of the
public which, under other conditions,
they might reasonably expect. Their
arbitrary rules and system of charges
have been such that their patrons are not
in the mood to look with favor upon
their statements or complaints, and, if
we mistake not, the company will find
this is no small item in the adjustment
of their present difficulties. Their
patrons reckon, not without cause, that
they have pat up the cash to enable them
to pay good wages to their men, and
they will hardly interest themselves in
adjusting the fine points, or weighing
the grievances of a corporation which
never fails to levy tribute from every
one who uses its cars. Two dollars a
night IS exorbitant and everybody feels
that they are paying more than the &C
commodations are worth, but, by reason
of the comPanys contract with the rail-
roads they hold monopoly and there is
no alternative but to submit to it. 1t is
simply taking advantage of the situation
to demand extra fares when the passen-
ger would rather even do this than spend
a night in an ordinary coach. 1t is
known also that p0rters are ex-
pected to collect their wages
from pickings from the pubic. No one
is willing to accept the small service of a
porter without some compensation from
some source, but every extra half dollar
paid out IN this way is a gratuity to the
company. There is no more justitica-
ton for this than to hand q similar fee
to the clerk who ties up a bundle and
hands it to a customer in retail store,
or in sending up fee to the engineer
who pilots the train through the storm
and darkness of winter night.
So far as the people are concerned, they
know their rights, and they will, with
out apology or ceremony, resent any or
all infringements, whether by indIvidu-
ais or corporations. In the settlement
of such difficulties as now confront this
company, public opinion is no small fac
tor. In its present attitude the company
is unfortunate in having TO meet the
prejudice known to exist in the public
mind.
