Where Free Wool Benefits.

1t is interesting to know that free
wool is of benefit to somebody. The
monthly circular of Messrs. Colds
brough, Mort & CO.. issued at Melbourne
June "a, said:
"Tbe present position of the wool
market is certainly promising, and the
indications are all in favor of an i'm
provement in values for the ensuing sea
son. General activity is reported in
manufacturing districts of Europe and
America, and a good demand for wool
prevails, while the production Of the
last and the issuing Australasian clip
points to a very moderate increase in sup
plies. The American demand promises
to be very prominent during the ensu-
ing Australian season. An increased
quantity has been purchased on their ac-
count during the recent London sales,
and our American correspondents antici-
pate that large business may be ex-
pected in direct importations. T"

Farmers and Free Trade.

Long Island farmers are beginning
to reap the immense benefits that were
to accrue under the Wilson German
tariff. One dollar per 100 for cabbage
and less than $3.50 per barrel for the
first potatoes, with all other farm prod
ucts being sacrificed at proportionate
rates, is something the farmers in this
section are not accustomed to. At the
present market prices some farmers are
seriously considering the abandonment
Of their avocation. Oh, these good Dem
ocratic times, how the farmer must en-
10Y them But perhaps they take salts
faction in the thought that the Demo
cratic tariff is good thing for the
Canadi ans and other foreigners. Island

WHY REPUBLICANS REJOICE.
Protection Element Of the Tariff Retains
Some Signs of Prosperity.

frOtectiOn E<iement OF tne hetains
Some Signs of Prosperity.
Republicans rejoice in all evidences
of returning prosperity. The business
interests Of the country were stricken
down by the success Of Mr.. Cleveland
ON a platform demanding the immediate
overthrow of the protective system and
at the head of party which had shown
its friendship in every way to free silver
coinage.
The Democrats of the house Of repre-
sentatives, as soon as called together
by Mr.. Cleveland, began work on bill
under the supervision of Mr. Wilson de-
signed to carry out their platform. 1t
was passed by the house, but the senate
substituted another bill for it., which,
under the lead Of Mr.. German, the
Democratic manager in that body,
changed the Wilson bill into an irregu-
lar and unsystematic protection meas
ure Business did not revive after that
bill was passed because the free trade
and ruling element in the Democratic
principle and declared that at the first
opportunity further steps would be
taken toward free trade.
Last November the people had a
chance to express their opinion, and
they did so in way that showed that
there would be no more free trade legis-
lation for long time to come. Then
manufacturers and other business men
felt safe in making some calculations
for the future, and business began to re-
vive. The indications are that we will
have good crops and fair prices, and
good crops and fair prices help the re-
vival that the Republican victories
started. The Republicans promised last
fall that times would begin to improve
il their cause was indorsed by the peo-
pie, and the promise has been carried
ont. Times are better, but they are not
wholly good and will not be until Re-
publicans are put in full charge of the

involves = Vast Amount of Money, bus
Where VIII IL Come From?
Mr.. David Lubin is working very en-
ergetically and very enthusiastically ON
behalf Of his policy to secure an export
bounty for farm products The policy OF
the American Protective Tariff league
is ''by adequate duties on imported
products TO protect American labor.
whether agricultural. manufacturing,
mining or commercial, against the COM
petition and low priced labor in foreign
countries. -
According to this policy, our farm
products should, like our manufacturing
products, be protected by tariff from
the competition Of similar goods pro-
duced in foreign countries. There is
nothing in this policy to indicate how,
or in what direction, the duties that we
levy upon imported products should be
utilized. At present they contribute
about one-half Of the ordinary revenue
of the government, defraying about one
half of the ordinary expenses. AS there
has not been sufficiency Of all rev.
enues to meet all expenditures under
the existing tariff it is well to ask from
what source we should derive the
amount of money that would be needed
to pay the export bounty in question. II
the sum that is now collected through
customs duties should be diverted TO the
payment of export bounties, then addi-
tional revenue must be supplied the
government from other sources, which
would undoubtedly be by direct taxation
If an export bounty be granted to the
producers of farm products, then the
producers of manufactured goods may,
with equal justice, demand a bounty
for their exports. Mr.. Lubin would
surely make no objection to such an ex-
tension of his policy as would include
the products Of our mines, the products
Of our forests, the products of our fish
cries and the products of our factories as
well as the products of our farms But
where will the money come from?

DESPERATE CHARACTER.
This Man Tries to Kill Worthy
Policeman.

Two policemen and colored man and
woman figured in tussle In the Bar
racks about . o'clock yesterday morning,
and although the colored man used q
razor on the officers he was worsted in
the conflict and is now is prison. What
is known as the Barracks is an old two
story frame building on G street south
west near Delaware avenue, and the place
is occupied by several colo-ed families.
In room on the second floor lives a
colored woman named Frances Bowman,
and her particular companion is = man
named James Gallagher who Is famili lrly
known in police circles as Tim Gala
CHER He out Saturday night and had
probably visited number OF South Wash
ngton saloon, and the police think he
rushed the growler'' when he returned
to the old shanty where the woman lives.
1t was rather late when he reached there,
for it was nearly o'clock when the Off
GERS were attracted to the house, and re
was then rot ready to retire.
When the officers heard the noise they
went 10 the house and assembled the steps.
Then they went through the dark hallway
until they reached tie rear wall.
Just then they heard what sounded like
a blow, and the Bowman woman was
thrown against the door with almost
enough force to tear away the hinges.
The officers broke in the door and there
found the man with heavy piece CT
Georgia pine in his hand. He had struck
the woman and was apparently ready to
deal her another blow, when one Of the
policeman grabbed him AS the woman
had been using profanity, she, too. WIS
placed under arrest.
Gallagher had no idea of going without a
fight lie had been in the penItentiary and
he was willing to take the chances CT
returning there and so he started out TO
do up the policeman and escape.
The first thing he did was to grab Off
Ger StenhouSeS badge and throw It 10 the
floor
As he did this the woman shouted,
Look out. he's got a razor"
This caused sudden stop iii the pro-
ceedings and the man was searched. but
no razor found. and then the quartet got
ready TO go to the police station.
Just they We're about to start the
house with a razor, and his partner get
sharp instrument made a cut ia his coat
across his chest.
The officer had his pistol in his inside
pocket, and this weapon prevented the
possible serious injury to the officer. Po-
liceman Stenhouse used his club on the
mans head and subdued him. Then The
quartet started for the police station, and
on their way there Gallagher threatened
the officers lives and said he would swing
for Officer Stenhouse if he does not get
an opportunity to Kill him for ten years.
In Judge kimbalrS court this morning
the case was tried.
The prisoners were fined s. each for the
disorderly conduct and Gallagher was held
for the grand jury on a charge of having
attempted tC kill the officer.
