JUST A BLUNDER,


 The conclusion is unavoidable that free wool does not help our wool manu lecturers to conquer foreign markets. The raw wool industry has been dealt a severe blow. The imports of raw wool are in excess of imports of former years, but the fact does not seem to be of any advantage to the manufacturers of wool. The American exports of woolen fabrics of all varieties for the first three months of 1894 were $196,173. For the corresponding three months of 1895 the exports were $18O,223. The difference is not great, but it is on the wrong side. The significance of the fact lies in the failure of policy which sacrificed one thriving industry on the chance of building up another.
 It is not supposed that the free traders deliberately intended to destroy the sheep industry, but results show that they made miscalculation. They may make some compensation for the1r mistake by joining the Republicans in the next congress to restore Mckinley duties on raw wool and OF the manu- facture of wool.

OUR minister at Brazil writes the de- partment at Washington that the peo- pie of that country would prefer to buy our goods, but the channels of trade are not open. The British are in control of the market and are selling them goods made from raw material purchased in the United States. They then purchase Brazilian products and bring them to our ports for sale, thus making two profits of of the shrewd Yankees. The worst feature of this condition of affairs is that the government of the United States has been doing all it could to maintain and perpetuate it.

A GAIN FOR SILVER.

The adjournment of the convention of the National League of Republican Clubs without the adoption of any plat form or resolutions, makes it look as if the whole meeting was farce-as if the session was all for nothing-and the reader may be tenn pted to ask: "What was the use of holding any convention at all 2"
 But if we think about It little more we can imagine that the goldolaters are kicking themselves all the way home from Cleveland, and that they are feel. ing as cheap as lot of dogs that had been fighting over bone which the cat had made way with during the scrim. mage.
 On the other hand, the silver dele. gates can come away with 8 good feel ing of having accomplished great deal "a feeling of having in fact won de- cided victory. The burden of proof was upon them. Both the old parties throughout the east were arrayed against them; in fact, the whole coun- try east of the Rockies was practically against them as recently as year ago, except few plucky champions like the Kansas City Journal. There seemed no hope. Yet they have acquired such in. fuence that they were received with re- I spect to the National Club convention instead of jeers, and such power that they knocked out the entire work of the platform builders.
 Therefore, there is encouragement for silver in the fact of substantial gain in the Republican party, even though apparently and nominally, as party, it persists in roosting on the fence.
 And certainly, anybody who favors free coinage as principle of govern mental finance, no difference what party he trains with, or if of no party at all, should be gratifed to see the silver sentiment spreading and growing in all the old parties.

of the wheat-grow owing regions are short.
 There are great many things for the monometallists to explain in connection with this subject, with particular refer ence to their contention that the de. monetization of silver had nothing to do with the price of grain. Wheat ruled along between 70 and 80 cents when crops were good until after the action of the British government in closing the Indian hints. Then it started on a down grade and did not stop until it had reached 50 cents. There was no in- crease of production during the time that movement was in progress. Now crops are damaged, and the bulls in the market have undertaken to advance the price to $1, but they were routed just about 80 cents, and the price is now lower, if anything, than it was when crops were good before the additional blow given silver by Great Britain.

THE number of people who are de- claring for silver before party ought to be warning to the political organiza- tions already in existence. Only one party can elect president next year, but no party can make any mistake in taking up the cause of the masses.

TIT SLEEP OF PLANTS.

The sleep of plants is so conspicuous a
phenomenon that it excited discussion
and speculation as early as the time OF
Pliny, and many explanations We're given
which science has sine disproved. The
dropping of the leaves was attributed by
some botanists to an aversion to moisture
a theory which had to be abandoned
when such movements were made on
cloudy lays and devices nights. The
clover tribe, which always close their
leaves at night, revel in rain; and the
nasturtiums will go through a day OF
tempesiuous weather without showing
any inclination to change their position.
Linnaeus was the first to give to the
subject special study and scientific re-
search. While watching the progress OF
some plants Of lotus he began that series
of observations upon which his great
work, 'sleep of Plants" is based: He
found that nocturnal changes are deter
mined by temperature and the daily al
formations of light n darkness; move
ment is not actually caused by darkness,
but by the difference in the amount of
light the plant receives during the night
and day. Many plants, notably the mas
turtium, unless brilliantly illum.ned in
the day, will not sleep at night. If two
plants were brought into the centre of q
room, one from the open air and the other
from a dark corner. the neutral light
which would cause the former to droop
its leaves would act as a stimulant upon
the latter.-Chamber's Journal.

GIRLS WHO ATTRACT MEN.
