NEW YORK, Sept. IA special
to the Herald from Washington says:
Another United States senator can
be added to those who have left the
standard of the advocates of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the

souri,, who is now in Carlsbad, has, in
private conversations with persons
who have met him in Europe. declared
that in his opinion the free coinage Of
silver at the old ratio was no longer

question will probably not be known
until some occasion arises &C which he
can express himself, but, says Mis-
souri, gentleman, it can be announced
with positiveness that he will never
again favor the free coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1.

WOOL AND ITS PRICES.

While the price of wool this veal
under free trade was much better thar
last year under the Mckinley tariff
it is net what it was four or five years
ago, nor is it liable to ever again com
mand the prices that prevailed during
the period Immediately following the
war. The tendency in prices has been
steadily downward for the past 25
years, and this regardless of the tariff
upon it. The reason for this is the
same as that that has brought wheat
down, and is found in over-production.
In the United States the production OF
wool has not kept pace with the in.
crease OF population, though it has
nearly done 30. In 1870 we imported
% per cent Of all the wool and wooden
goods used in this country. In 1880
we imported 35 per cent, in 1885 a trife
less than 10 per cent, which was low
water mark. In 1885 it was 80 per
cent in 1887 80, in 1888 2s, in 1889 32,
about the same in 80 and '91, "a in
'92 and SO in '93. The statistics for '94
are not at hand. In 1870 we raised
1872, ,000, 900 pounds, in 1880 232, ,OOO, 900
pounds, increasing steadily to 1885,
when 30S, 900, 900 pounds were clipped
which was high water mark. For the
next four years the clip steadily de-
creased until in 1889 it was only 265,-
900, 600 pounds, or about what It was in
1880. This decline occurred under the
tariff Of 1883, which was for first and
second class woods 10 and 12Ieents a
pound respectively, while under the
Mckinley bill superseding it the tariff
was II and IL cents. From 1889 to
1893 the product increased until in the
latter year 3O3, 100000 pounds were
clipped. This was the increase in the
United States. In the meanwhile
what was done in other countries?
Australia's clip increased from l75,-
100000 in 1870 to $4,000, 900 in 1891,
and is now estimated at $50, 900, 900.
The Cape OF Good Hope in the same
lime increased her clip from 43, ,OOO, 900
10 129,OO0,000, and Argentine from
I97. 100000 to 100000. The total
Increase from 1880 to 1891 for the world
vas from 1928, ,O0o, 900 to 2,45e,773,0 900.
Competition and tremendous increase
n production is what has brought the
Vool market down, just as it has
'rought the wheat market down. It /
new conditions that we have to
aeet. The remedy for low prices lies
ot in the tariff but in growing better
'oois. Sharp competition will compel
ur sheep men to improve their woods
thing they have heretofore neglected
} do.

TOLEDO BLADE PETTIFOGs.

The Republican press has become
utterly reckless in its statements re.
garding the present tariff law known
as the Wilson bill. Assertions are
made regardless Of truth or facts. In
a recent issue the Toledo Blade makes
the following statement:
"The present tariff law has begun
operations on the Pacific coast. The
California cotton mills which paid out
over $4,000, 600 in wages in the past
twelve years, are about to remove to
Japan, as there is no profit for them
under the Democratic tariff. Japan
offers splendid Inducements, including
exemption free from all taxation for
twenty years. Democratic tariff law

1t is to be Remodeled as to Weapons and

CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 19.-On the
return of General Mena, chief of the
Mexican military commi ssion in Ger
many, it is probable that the army will
be entirely remodeled as to weapons,
tactics, etc. 1t is proposed to create
a magnificent fighting machine, largely
on the German model. The govern
ment is to maintain the commission in
Europe, and besides sending over
many specialists from all branches of
military service it is its purpose to
make Mexico stronger for defense.
The feeling between Cuban residents
and Spaniards continues to grow acri-
monious and the latter have been
especially stirred up by the sympathy
of the masses of Mexican people for
the Cuban patriots, for on public oc-
casions cries of Down with the Span
iardsH' 'Long live free Cubar' and
cheers for Cuban insurgents are heard.

HOW WILL THEY DO iFs

For number of years we have heard
the advice repeated over and over, un-
til it has become an old song, that the
| United States must build up a home
market. This is undoubtedly good
advice, but the trouble seems to be
that like the suggestion that we get
"the right kind of tariff" no one
seems to be able to point out the way
in which the desired end can be at.
tanned. Broadly stated there are but
two things for which home market
can be built up. Those are our farm
products, and those of our factories.
We would like to see the markets i'm
proved. We would like to see our
farmers getting better prices for their
products, and the tin bucket brigade
getting better wages, and this feeling
is no doubt shared by every good citi-
zen. But how is the result to be ac-
camplished. The United States has
population Of some 70, ,000, 900, and it is
safe to say that these 10000, 900 eat all
they want, with perhaps the excep-
tion OF q certain class in the large cities
who are too poor to buy even at the
prevailing low prices, Nearly every.
thing the farmer raises, is food of some
kind, and to increase the home market
for his products, we must either get
more people, or people with larger
stomachs and appetites. II we get
more people into the country they
must have employment of some kind.
or they would not be able to buy the
farmers products, and hence, would
not furnish home market unless the
state supported them, and provided |
for them. In order to consume the |
products Of the factories, we must wear
more clothing, and consume more per
capita, or get more people. If we get
more people they must either go to
farming, still further injuring the
farmers home market by overproduc-
tion, or they must go to manufacturing
something, curtailing still further the
wages Of the tin-bucket brigade, and
making that class less able to buy.
The home market is an excellent
hing, but it is not enough. Nations
must trade their surplus products with
zach other, just as individuals must do,
We might erect an impossible barrier
around us by tariff legislation, but
when other nations retaliated, as they
would be compelled to do, what would
,e the result. What would become Of
he 100000 bales of cotton now ex-
,orted to Europe? We cannot con-
ume it, and must either exportit raw, /,
r manufactured, and if in the latter ,
ondition we must still find someone 8
o buy it, hence, we must trade and
AXE the products of other countries
r they cannot buy from US. If they 8

broad annually? Who would con- q
Ime 1,000, ,0OO, 900 pounds of hog pro- 4
ucts which now go to foreign d
ountries every year bringing in in re- g

Killed by Foul Gas.

A horrible accident occurred on
the farm of Mr.. Jno. Osborne, at Sc
bree Tuesday. Charles, the young
son of Mr.. Osborn, went down in an
old well on the place for the purpose
of cleaning it. He had been in the
we'll only short while when he was
heard groaning as if in distress. A
negro who was standing on the sur
face at the mouth of the we'll went
down the rope and found the young
man in dying condition. The ne
gro got out of the we'll and told what
he had discovered, and then went
back into the we'll for the purpose of
rescuing young Osborne. After
reaching the bottom he never spoke,
and was taken out few moments
later dead. A man named Hawkins
was then lowered into the well for
the body of Osborne, and he, too, was
overcome by the foul gas. He was
taken out unconscious and in a crit
ical condition. The body of young
Osborne at 9 o'clock that night was
still in the well, as no one dared be
lowered into the death trap.
