SELLING WOOL IN AN OPEN
MARKET.

Since the new tariff bill became law
there has been a very decided decrease
all along the limo in the cost of staples,
and the coat OF living is very much les g
than four years ago, after the Mckinley
bill became operative.
Our morning and evening contsm por-
aries, representing the ideas of the G. o.
p. are as one in the opinion that this
country, like q successful theatrical
manager, ought to suspend the free list.
The Democratic party is bent upon an
nihilating the wool industry o..
this country. according to the
to the Times, and an appeal is made to
those who desire to see the wool grow
ing industry OF the United States wiped
out, to vote the Democratic ticket.
1t seems rather curious that the
Times should venture to champion the
cause of the wool growers, for at least
two reasons. First. the wholesale quo
tations show that manufacturers have
already begun to lower rates of wooden
goods and this despite the fact that the
new wool schedule, which mainly affects
the carpet industry, will not go into
effect until January next. Carpets that
sold in Oct. 1898. for 80 cents at whole
sals, are selling now for 81 cents. Un-
der the Mckinley bill the specified rate
OF such bill of goods was IA cents per
square yard with an Rd valorem rate OF
80 per cent added.
If already q reduction has been made
from 60 cents to 5211 cents, Wholesale
prices, what may we not expect after the
new wool schedule actually begins to
operate in January next?
Then again, is there any immediate
probability of the wool industry of this
country being wiped out when, accord
ing to Brad,treet's, 100000 pounds of
Texas wool was sold last week in Bos.
ton for shipment to free trade England
at more than l cent psr pound more
than could be obtained tor it in New
England? II the Times can explain
how the wool grown down in Texas can
possibly be benefited by a system of
protection, it truly may be able TO prove
that two and two make five.
In the light OF these facts is it wiae to
follow the advice given by the Times
With cheap wooden goods Of all kinds,
and market that absorbs the grow
ers' wool at enhanced prices, it seems
reasonable to suppose voters will think
twice bsfore cssting their ballots for
party pledged to reveree these favorable
conditions.

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS.

But one more week remains for cam
paign work. Let every Democrat do his
full duty, and the victory will be ours.
The contest has been conducted on true
lines by the Democrats. They have
lodged no issues; have taken open
stand on all public questions in Caliior-
nia-ownership OF the Pacific railroads
by the government. location OF deep-
sea harbor at San Pedro, free coinage Of
silver, opposition to religious proscrip-
tion. We have no apologies to make for

THAT TIME CARD.

The action OF the Southern Pacific OF
Kentucky in withdrawing its time card
from the HERALD WAS a very small way
to manifest tie disapproval OF that cor.
poration OF the course OF the HERALD.
Thie paper has thrown down the gage
OF battle to that corporation on every
proposition affecting the interests of
California.
II the time should ever arrive when
the corporation controlled by G. p.
Huntington concludes to obey the laws
Of this state, keep out OF politics, aban~
don its present short-sighted policy OF
trying to throttle our commercial inter-
eats, and use its immense influence for
the common good. it will rec eiye
a hearty corporation from this paper;
but 30 long as it continues to act the
part of a highwsyman, robbing the
producers of the etate, violating the
laws. debauching its politics and brow
beating, intimidating and slandering
those whom it cannot buy, just SO long
can it count on the active, uncom-
promising hostility of the HERALD.
Mr.. Huntington is said to be very much
worried over the appearance OF things
politically; he feels that Estee is beaten,
and the election of Patton means the
defeat of his harbor scheme. Besides,
Mr.. Huntington is growing old and
peevish and is very intolerant OF op

A Place for the Pruning Knife.

San Francisco Examiner: If there
were no other resson for the election
OF Mr.. Budd to the governorship his
answer to the taunt OF Mr.. George A..
knight would furnish good one. Mr..
Knight ridiculed the idea that q gov.
ernor could effect any economies in the
management OF the state government,
and asked where Mr.. Budd would be-
gin. Mr.. Budd promptly replied that
he would begin by cutting off Mr..
George A, Knight's salary of $4,000 a
year as attorney for the state board of
health-an office created for him. The
retort was perfect of ita kind, for Mr..
Knight's job is an ideal instance of the
sort OF thing the Democratic party is
pledged to reform. There is no more
need for an attorney of the state board
of health than for an Admiral Of the
National guard. Mr.. Knight stumped
the state for Markham IN 1890, and the
Office was created for his benefit by the
legislature of Thousand scandals the
following year. The bill establishing it
was generally known as "ths bill TO r
the relief of George A. Knight" Mr..
knight will have collected $4,000 by
the time Mr.. Budd makes him let 20.
That is pretty fair pay for one Heries

The Independent Movem,nt.

San Francisco Bulletin (Rep.): The

Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1894-12-27

Another reason quite as potent as the
climate was formerly active In driving
the population from the shore. For
hundreds Of years all South Italy was
a scene OF constant warfare. Saracens,
Moors, Turks, pirates all, paraded up
and down the peninsula in their ships,
landing where they found an opportu-
nifty and plundering the hamlets that
were nearest. then sailing away to re-
peat the operation elsewhere. In con-
slant fear Of the invader, the people
hid their villages In the most inaccessi-
bic parts Of tbcmountains, where some
are still to be fonnd There is Pente-
datillo, not far from Reggie, town so
placed that, although it commands a
view of the whole country for many
miles. 1t is itself unseen. 1t is built on
a cluster Of crags that send giant spires
into the air like q huge hand stretched
out toward the sky. Over 1000 feet
above the sea Is the top of the great
rock on which the town is placed, and
In the crannies Of the summit, between
the lofty fingers, the houses are wedged
in as though BY force. From the coast
below the town is invisible; even from
the mountains on the land side 1t Is not
easy to make out the houses from the
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1894-12-27
Extensive Stamps.

The Philatelic world has been flut-

1t is announced that the vice president
Of the London Philatelic Society has
sold all his stamps. The affair certain.
ly becomes interesting when we learn
the price commanded by the few thou
sand little bits of paper.
A firm which deals in these light and
airy trifies secured the vice presidents
entire collection, and gave no less than
$4,000 for 1t.
This, we understand, is the largest
price ever paid for collection OF
stamps, though 1t is said that the
treasures in this sort recently beQueath
ed by a member Of Parliament to the
British Museum would have fetched q
higher figure If put up to public auction
A London establishment Is just now
advertising a single stamp, valued al
$4,000, but whether any intended pur
chaser will be found willing to receive
it in exchange for that sum remains to
be seen. The Duke Of York, already
known as a keen connoiseur. is said to
be anxious to purchase this great
stamp.
Exerts declare that there Is no better
investment for money nowadays than
stamps. If that be so they will become
an object of fascination to many who
at present take little delight in them
