DIZZY WOOL JUGGLING.

The InteIJigencer, which is still max
ing Democratic votes among the farm
ers by trying to beat down their prices,
quotes the notorious JUSTICE, BATEMAN
& Co., of Philadelphia, political wool
firm, who not long ago were thoroughly
exposed in these columns, to show that
mark the date-last March Ohio,
Pennsylvania and West Virginia Xxx
washed wool brought 10 Philadelphia
sOJS cents, while on October l, thirty
FIVE days after the repeal of the Nc
Kiney law, " it brought 1917 cents.
IN brief the Calamity HOl0Jer wishes
20 create the impression that this
wool was 800 cents before the repeal Of
the Mckinley tariff and fell to 1sh
cents after the tariff was removed. a
most clumsy attempt to deceive, the
falsehood Of which is evident on it's face
even though the figures given wers
true, for the dates named, which they
are not.
The grade Of wool men
toned has not sold for
80 cents at any time this year. Last
year, 1898, during his testimony before
the Ways aud Means Committee, a let
ter from Mr.. JUSTICE was referred to,
advising a wool buyer not TO buy for
more than 20 cents, and we all know
that ever since then, as before then
in fact, ever since 1s9O-woOl steadily
fell until the repeal Of the Mckinley
tariff on August 9s last.
We also know, as does our neighbor,
that before it stopped. under the Nc
Einley tariff wool fell as low as fifteen
and sixteen cents, and that since the
tariff has been removed it has risen as
high as % cents, with the market still
buoyant.
We have before US a letter, which
will be found elsewhere, from Cadiz,
o., dated yesterday, stating that Mr..
B. BAXTER. of Hopedale, o., has 3, ZOO
pounds of wool on hand, for which, be-
fore the Mckinley tariff was repealed,
the highest offer he had received was Is
cents. Since then he has refused an
offer Of % cents and is confidently
Marx how far from the truth
the Calamity Ho10Ier is: Instead
of wool having fallen since the tariff was
removed from 3O1E cents-a figure which
every farmer knows is utterly absurd
10 49,, it has risen from 16 cents, to
which point it had fallen under McKin-
leyism, TO % cents, the latest figure re-
ceived since wool was made free.
The Intelligencer persisteutly bears
ialse-witness against the farmer with
the deliberate intention of cheating
him out Of fair price for his wool. Its
course is an outrageous fraud and is al
together inconprehensible except on
the ground of mental weakness, for it
must sustain a heavy loss among the
indignant and outraged farmers which
il could, under no circumstances, gain
from the politicians it aims to serve.

THE war songs sung by the Japanese
troops as they push toward Pektn, 1t is
said, we're officially compiled oy order
OF Prince KRISUGAwA. They breathe
great bitterness against China, and
significantly declare that Now is the
time to plant the flag Of the rising sun
on the walls OF Pekin and to illuminate
its darkness" Each verse OF the song
begins and ends with, "Strike and chas-
tiss China" The various verses de-
scribe the Chinese as arrogant and inso-
liant, with an army Of towards" OF
the Chinese troops the war song says,
"They are an undisciplined rabble, and
however fine their arms look, they are

The chant closes with an invocation to

MCKINLEY speaks OF the patriotic
action" OF the Louisiana sugar planters
in going over to the Republican party.
This must sound funny TO everybody
but the solemn and childIike MCkIN-
LEY. These sugar planters don't con-
ceal the fact that they have gone over
TO the Republican party in the hope OF
getting back that S1l,OOO,OOO annual
bounty which the Democrats took away.
There are coo Of them and il means

THE utter reckIessness OF McKIN-
LEY's assertion in his one tariff speech,
or calamity howl, that labor was most
prosperous under his law and every fac
tory in the Union running to its full
capacity, is actually stunning to the In
teIligent observer who knows there
were 200 strikes for the twoyears from
October, 1890, 10 October, 1892, including
the Homestead lock-outs, war on organ
lied labor, general reductions OF wages,
etc., according to the official record un-
der NcKinleyiSm. The strikers then
were all, or nearly all, unsuccessful.
Now, however, the striker against redue-
tions, or for higher wages, fares better
In fact, under McKinleyism wages act
ualIy were forced down TO the lowest
possible level, and any change must, as
a rule, be for the better.

LOOKING FORWARD.
The Oriental War May Benefit Local
Merchants.

AS present indications point 10 conflict be-
tween Aslatc powers. which may individually
involve foreign nations, The shipping merchants
OF this city are looking forward 10 a remunera-
tive harvest in the way of supplying warships
and armies with provisions and other necessary
adjuncts in carrying on prolonged warfare.
Many OF them have not as yet awakened TO
the situation, while others OF more enterpris.
ine frame of mind are taking steps toward law
teTnatIonal commerce in their own quiet way
in order TO be prepared for the fray.
Under ordinary circumstances San Francisco
exports but little in the provision line to the
Orient, owing TO tie large production Of rice
and vegetables on that side, which together
form the main diet OF Asiatic countries. Flour
and pork form the principals articles of export
from this port, although The greater part OF the
former is of a poorer quality, especially manu-
featured TO meet the requirements of the peas
anfry.
AS matter of fact the only American
products exported 10 any extent TO either CHINA
or Japan are those which are disposed of
among the white settlements, principally at
Hong Kong, Shanghai aud other more or less
important ports along the coast.
English competition has proven so disastrous
TO the American market that even this limited
trade has been almost entirely absorbed. The
fact that Hong-kong, the main distributing
point OF the great empire. is under British con.
troll has had much 10 do III bringing about This
result, although there Is no reason why Ameri-
can exports. If placed upon the same scale as
regards quality anu prices, should not be equal
ly recognized.
1t is altogether probable that should war be
continued. with The possibility OF foreign powers
allying with either side, San Francisco would
furnish large portion OF the necessary sup
plies, both for the use OF the army and navy.
Canned goods are what are mostly used under
such circumSti and the amount which
involved in such campaign can well be I'M

makes charges of gross Encouragement
against Thomas II. Mastin, brother of the

band died. She says Thomas H.
Mastin had mismanaged and is mis-
managing the business of said firm in
many respects, but especially as follows:
He has drawn from the funds of the part
nership large sums of money to pay for life
insurance policies exclusively for the bene-
ut of his own family. He has engaged
on his own account in the raising of
fancy breeds of live stock, in which he
has invested the money of the firm at
great loss. He has lived extravagantly and
has drawn from the funds of the firm
largely in excess Of the amount to
which he was entitled as half owner in
said firm. He has largely used unincum-
bered property of the firm in exchange for
sO-called equities in other real estate when
the firm possessed no means to protect such
equities against incumbrance. He has
allowed some of the property TO be sold
for taxes. The property of the firm
is in Kansas City, Mo-; Wyaudotte. john

Mr.. Ward has sent bond for 100000

aud Thomas 81. Mastin were the active
managers of the Mastin Bank, which
failed in 1873 with deposits
amounting 10 about 81. 100000. The failure
was due to unwise investments in mines
ana extensive advance to the National

CANNOT WITHDRAW LANDS.
A Decision That Will Give MANY
Settlers Their Homes.

WASHINGTON. July 25.-The Secretary
of the Interior, in decision in the review
case of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road against Jennie L. Davis, rem
dered to-day, holds that under the
grant to the Northern Pacific the
Secretary of the Interior had no power to
make withdrawal of indemnity lands
for the benefit Of the company. The ques-
tisn involved is the same as that in the
celebrated case of the Northern Pacific
against Guilford Miller, decided in 1883 by
Secretary Villas, whose ruling is sustained
by Secretary Smith. This decision affects
title to the homes of hundreds of settlers
throughout Washington, Montana and
other Pacific Coast stations.
