The Shody Tariff.

Statistics continue to multiply demon
strating the bad effect of the new tariff law
upon the American wool industry. We
notice some OF the democratic papers are
trying to make capital by pointing to the
wooden mills recently started up and some
Increase in the machinery. 1t is well to
note in this connection, however, that the
importation of shoddy has increased 1000
per cent since the Mckinley bill was re-
pealed. This is most extraordinary in
crease and accounts in large measure for
the augmentation of the business of wooden
factories. In order to compete with the
imported articles the American manufac-
turers are compelled to resort to the use of
shoddy in much larger quantities than ever
before. The people who buy and wear the
wooden goods will, of course, be the suffer
ers; meanwhile the farmer Is not getting the
price for wool that he formerly received
and his flocks are decreasing. and

Revise the Wool Tariff.

The National Wool Growers Association
will meet at the Ebbett House, Washing
ton, ID. c., December 4, 1895, to take meas
ures to secure wool tariff provisions on any
revenue bill that may be passed by con
gress. All who attend the meeting will
participate in the proceedings You are
urged to hold meetings, send delegates and
aid In measures TO secure action by con.
gress.
The President will, of necessity, recon.
mend an increase of revenues. The sug-
gestion of an increase of tax on beer should
be resisted. 1t is dodge to avoid tariff
revenue to be paid by foreigners. The rev.
enue on beer should be left to the states.
The suggestion for short time interest-bear-
ing treasury notes is another dodge. 1t is
disgraceful to increase the public debt. 4
large majority of the representatives elected
to the present congress favor protection.
The people have repudiated the Wilson
German free wool act. 1t is believed a
majority of the senate will concur in tariff
bill passed by the House Now is the time
to strike.
Wool growers have right to know If
congress will meet the popular will; wheth-
er manufacturers now enjoying protection
will aid in securing justice for wool grow
ers.
Wool growers will not consent to delay.
The position of candidates for the presi-
dency and for congress next year must be
known in advance. The suggestion that
the President may veto any revenue bill
with wool tariff Is cowardly surrender in
advance. If the President will not approve
or at least permit bill to become law, as
he did the Wilson German bill, he must
take the responsibility and the consequent
ces.
Duties on wool are good source of rev.
enue. The government derived revenues
from duties on wool under the Mckinley
act, as follows:
1890 ------------------ SIS, 400, S85 32
1891 6.552, 257. 81
1892 7,779, OBS, SO
1898 ---------.----- S,147, 220. 80
Inc Wllson-Gorman act. by giving pro-
tective duties on cotton manufacturers, rice,
sugar and some other products. and by
placing wool on the free list, made an obi
GUS, unjust discrimination against wool
growers. Under the new law the imports
of shoddy. noils, wastes and other adulter-
ants, in the year ended August 81, 1895,
were 1906, 563 pounds, displacing more
than 80, 1000, 600 of American merino wool
more than the entire wool product of Texas
and California.
These wrongs must be righted, and now
is the time to act.

MRS. MEYERS DEATH.
An Autopsy Showed That It Was Not
Due to Poisoning-She Was Much
Married.

By an autopsy held at the Morgue yes
terday the death of the WON an, Mrs. A. j.
Meyer, at 723 Kearny street, was found to
be due to a hemorrhage, and not to
poison, as supposed.
After the body was removed to the
Morgue DR.. Petit informed Deputy Coro-
ner Mccormick that there had been $50 in
the room belonging to the deceased and
that among her possessions was gold
watch. AS the money and watch had dis
appeared, the matter was reported to De-
lectlve Anthony. During the morning a
negro albino named G. NJ. Cogar, who had
been living with the woman. came to>the
Morgue and turned over $12 to the deputy
saying he had paid the woman's bills with
the remainder and had taken the watch
out of pawn. Detective Anthony took
charge of Cogar, who is a minstrel, but last
evening he was let go and mounting of a
criminal nature was found against him.
The woman had number of aliases
among them Mrs. l.. V. Cameron, Mrs. A.
J. Meyer and Mrs. l.. V. Bennett. She
was the wife of Bennett until 1895, when
she took q second husband in San Jose.
This was A. j. Meyer, on electrician, now
living in Oakland. She came to San Fran
cisco from Wisconsin, having become
estranged from her parents because of her
waywardness. A wine merchant, who has
since committed suicide, once started her
in business in Geary street resort, near
Central avenue.
