o'clock.
The citizen said that he lived on Win

precinct of the Sixth ward, and that the
registry place was at the Minkakwa
Clubhouse, No. 624 Ocean avenue.

his surprise the clubhouse was closed as

THERE is considerable discussion
among Missouri democrats as to the
feasibility of holding a state c9nven-
ton similar to that called by the
Illinois democracy to define its po-
sition on the money question. While
the radical free silverites are advo-
eating the convention idea, the con-
sentative elements are opposing it.
and it is thought in view Of the dis
cord which has been engendered in
this state over the controversy, that
the Missouri democracy will refrain
from the useless wrangle which
would inevitably ensue if conven-
tion were called. 1t is stated on
good authority that the leaders in
this state who hurled the free silver
flre-brand into the party ranks, are
now heartily sick Of their scheme.

it through. 1t is perfectly safe to
assume. too. that il the practicable
ity of holding such q convention had
been as freely discussed in Illinois
as it is being done in Missouri, prior

taken the action it did. As it was

There is no surer index to general

of prices in Wall street. The stock
exchange is a financial barometer.
When busioess is prosperous prices
rise. when it is not they shrink.
That the spectators, the brokers,
and the big business men believe
that the country is on the eve OF
an era of prosperity. if indeed it has
not fully entered upon it. is shown
by the great rise in stocks within the
past two months. An examination
of 81 active stocks shows that from
the lowest price in February up to
May Z, there has been an increase in
the market value Of the shares of

The Dawn OF New Tariff Prosperity


American wool growers do not
seem to be suffering to any extent
under the operations Of the new
tariff law. The ruin predicted for
them by the opponents Of the law
has not cast its blight upon them
vet. Instead they are prospecting as
never before. They not only control
the home market, but are success
fully competing with the Australian
wool growers in the markets of the
world. The increase in the exports
of wool for the first eight months Of
the fiscal year ending June so. show
an increase Of 400 per cent over the
same period Of the preceding year.
Up to Feb. %, these exports
amounted to 1,7l7,s5l pounds. By
June 80 they will probably reach
$500, 900 pounds. Last year the
shipments amounted to $50. 247
pounds, and this Was the greatest
in any one year since 1868. Neither
was this increase gained at the ex-
pense of the home trade, for less
wool has been imported into this
country during the past eight
months than during the correspond
ing period Of 1893 under the Nc
